Quilled Questions Of The Day:
Just how much money did Matlock pay that black private investigator to infiltrate people involved in his cases? And what kind of P.I. in his right mind would keep accepting those kinds of jobs when ever other episode you get the living hell beaten out of you, kidnapped, or shot at? And really, what kind of a scenario do we have here - an elderly white guy in a suit having a black guy in jeans run around and do all the dirty work. Does anyone else think that seems racist, even a little bit?

well.... personally, i think that char was to keep the show from appearing racist in the first place. It is stereotypical though, a black guy with a past from the 'hood, now working for a wealthy old lawyer using his street sense to help win cases.
As for the lawyer being old and white, well you have to have exprience to be the "best defense laywer" and well, age plays a part. Plus many people wanted to watch the show simply cause Andy Griffin was the Laywer (i'm not sure if i spelled that last name right, but you know who i'm talk'n about).
It's just another bit of mindless drivel that the networks force down the american public's throats. The sad thing is, the american public laps it up like a starving cat to milk.
