Matlock – The TV Series

Matlock originally ran from 9/23/86 to 5/7/95. The adventures of high-dollar defense attorney Benjamin Leighton Matlock are chronicled in this classic murder mystery series.

Educated at Harvard Law, Ben Matlock always proves his clients’ innocence by finding the real murderer. Most episodes end with Matlock verbally beating the guilty party into submission on the stand, followed by the jury finding the defendant not guilty.

Classic television murder mystery comes in one flavor: Matlock.
