The Perry Mason Marathon

Perry Mason, the newest TV series in the long-running detective franchise, is coming to HBO on June 21. It’s the perfect opportunity to revisit the adventures of Erle Stanley Gardner’s beloved defense attorney, but there are so many Perry Mason properties—books, movies, short stories, radio, television, and even computer games—that it can be hard to know where to begin.* That’s where Slate comes in! We’ve created a comprehensive reading/viewing/listening guide to help you get up to speed with the series in time for the new show, including links to online retailers where you can buy the relevant books, DVDs, CDs, and board games. Depending on how the auctions shake out for the out-of-print items, you may be able to prepare to watch HBO’s Perry Mason for as little as $1,078.11! What’s more, Slate’s syllabus includes daily reading and viewing goals to make time management a breeze. If you can commit as little as 26 hours a day, you’ll be on pace to get the absolute most out of the new HBO series.

Over the weeks to come, Slate won’t be hosting any online lectures on the franchise, nor will we be hosting Q&A’s with Perry Mason experts, Erle Stanley Gardner biographers, or the actors and filmmakers involved in the new show. We look forward to not seeing you there! Here’s the schedule:
