1. "Park Avenue Beat"

by Fred Steiner.

Heard it 3,000,000 times, never gets old.

2. The best television series ...

... ever! The cast; the stars; the guest stars; the cinematography; the scenes of Los Angeles in the 1950's; the cars; the boats; the planes; the trains; the drama; the courtroom scenes; California law; the screenplays; the well scripted dialogue; the direction; the acting; the guns; the knives; the poison; the boats; the villains; the bad guys; the bad women -- murder most foul in almost every imaginable manner and a lawyer to defend those innocently charged.

3. Fred Steiner also wrote most of the incidental music for the original Star Trek series (almost everything but the theme)

Great writer! Search YouTube for "Fred Steiner Star Trek Music" for a playlist.

4. Agree On The Theme

The tension those first 4 measures create!
Attention grabbing for sure.

5. IcyPeas......

Perry Mason is one of the T.V. shows in my rotation to have on in the background while I'm on the computer, doing paperwork, etc. I also sometimes go to sleep to it (as well as Columbo).

I love that Perry Mason song.

7. Popular enough that even Ozzy did a cover of the opening theme
