Review: Little is known about Matlock on these shores, apart from the fact that it is Grandpa Simpson’s favourite TV show in ‘The Simpsons’! Andy Griffith plays elderly legal-eagle Ben Matlock who charges a staggering $100,000 for each defence case that he takes on. As you might expect, ‘The Simpsons’ playful endorsement of Matlock is made with tongue wedged firmly in-cheek, and Matlock is a creaky, retro slice of 80s law and order. Anyone craving something a bit less slick than ‘Perry Mason’ will find much to enjoy with Ben Matlock’s undemanding caseload. A genuine cult TV show from the era when ‘cult TV show’ meant cheesy, rubbish mid-afternoon dross! Still at £24.99 for 25 episodes it will only set you back a fraction of Matlock’s exorbitant legal fee!
