Matlock
AMERICA'S GREATEST LAWYER. CASE CLOSED.
Created by Dean Hargrove
A long-running, folksy courtroom procedural where a cantankerous but compassionate lawyer solves murders through clever detective work and dramatic courtroom reveals, built on the reassurance of weekly case closure.
Thrifty, folksy and cantankerous, Matlock charges a premium for his services but is worth every penny: This renowned attorney, always clothed in his trademark light-gray suit and driving his signature Ford Crown Victoria, has an uncanny knack for finding overlooked clues and exposing murderers in dramatic courtroom scenes.
