This is a list of the original Perry Mason TV series episodes and who the killer was.  I have been maintaining this list for twenty years now and I still haven't seen them all.  It seems to be getting harder and harder to see those that I've missed.

I have run across several excellent sites devoted to Perry Mason that cover the show in far greater detail than I do but, so far, I haven't found any with a list like this.  One of my favorites is Big Dave's Perry Mason Pages. I highly recommend it ! He also has links to several other great sites.

Thanks to Dave Brockman, Charles Jenkins, George Karakey, and Tony Shelton for helping me compile this list.

At this point in time I do not have a collection of tapes but I am thinking about starting one.

If you have an addition, correction, or comment you can send email to me here.
The excel spreadsheet I use for this is here.

Question marks mean that I'm not certain if the correct killer or spelling is listed.
