The legal profession is an entertainment topic but if the truth be told we're all fascinated by the inner workings of the legal profession and the people who keep the wheel of justice turning in our country. Some of the most famous television attorneys are listed below.
Perry Mason - Who can forget Perry Mason and his amazing secretary, Della Street. Perry Mason got lucky as an attorney because all his clients were innocent and he always managed to elicit a dramatic courtroom confession out of the real culprit at the last minute. This show set the standard for many other interesting shows to follow in its footsteps. As a side note: Perry Mason is still on television today as reruns.
Matlock - Matlock was also one of the older and wiser generation attorneys whose television show followed right in line with Perry Mason in that all his clients were innocent. Andy Griffith cast as Ben Matlock was a stroke of genius. I don't know about you, but I kept waiting for Barney, Opie, and Aunt Bea to show up somewhere and was always disappointed when they didn't.
JAG - JAG is a show about attorneys with a military twist. The handsome Navy Commander Harmon Rabb, worked along side Marine Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie. Their cases focused on military cases and Harmon won his cases by straddling that very fine line between legal and illegal.
The Practice - This show gave us Bobby Donnell. Bobby always seemed conflicted about the choices he was forced to make because of his profession. This show also showed the unethical, seedy side of the law.
Ally McBeal - This zany law firm showed the funny side of not only the law, but the lives of the lawyers in the firm. The quirky characters and their loves and losses in life made this show a must see for millions of viewers.
