She had two more kids but I don’t know anything about the others.
This video has very poor quality.
The speed and sound track are way off.
But at 26:30 Benson Fong (in the role of Kow Loon) gives
one of the best dramatic monologues ever done on early TV.

Just one of the fine performances that made the series great.
I wish I could watch it but I have a limited amount of monthly bytes and long youtube videos eat it up.
Condolences to family and friends of Barbara Hale.
“I have never read any of the books but my guess would be that Erle Stanley Gardner wanted there to be a bit of romantic interest”
I have read a number of the Perry Mason books by Gardner but I don’t recall any romantic interest between the two. But then again that was like 50 years ago when I read them.
Watching the shows made me think about reading one of the books.
We cancelled Dish in 2008 one week after Obama was elected. I had hated Hollywood for 30 years and finally decided to make my move.
I have all of those shows you mentioned on dvd. Also McCloud, McMillian & Wife, Rockford Files and Columbo to name a few.
Hollywood was great from the 1930’s up through the 1960’s and I even like some of the stuff in the 70’s like the shows we mentioned. At some point in the 1980’s they really began to sicken me with the political correctness.
Mannix is also on METV. Where I live on the west coast it comes on at about 2 am.
Several mention Barbara Hale was William Katt's mother, but I didn't see where anyone noted actor Bill Williams, who starred in one of my favorite childhood TV shows, "The Adventures of Kit Carson", was his daddy.
OMG I hope 2017 will not be a continue of 2016. Wow
You can probably get all of these shows and more for free over the air with an antenna - with the digital subchannels there are multiple classic TV networks airing these shows. Many shows I had never heard of before that were made long before I was born I have been watching and I must stay they are better than most of the new shows put on now in my opinion. I’ve been watching Perry Mason re-runs on a network called “MeTV”. I believe they have some of those other shows on the air as well. I don’t pay for TV when you can get several dozen networks over the air for free these days.
Yes - I love that network...and available for free with just an antenna in most places...a lot of people think it is a cable network and don’t realize it and several dozen other channels are very much available for free with just an antenna.
Yes, William Katt is her son - he played Paul Drake, Jr. on several of the 2-hour episodes of Perry Mason that were made in the late 80s, early 90s. There was one episode where there was sort of inside joke where there was some dialog with Della Street where he was saying his mother wouldn’t approve of something he was doing.
John Hurt.
Yes, I get it on two different stations, one in Panama City and one in Dothan. That is actually helpful as every now and then one of them will have some other show on at a particular time spot. When that happens I just watch the other station.
Easy to figure out “who dunnit” on Murder She Wrote. It was always the biggest “fading” star.
When there was a star that was a good bet.
Poor Cabot Cove lost a lot of its population.
RIP.
I know I’m in my final chapter, so 2017 could be mine. I’m ready!
