It's been a bit since I did a round-up of them being adorable together so here.

The last, lingering, desperate grasp of the Production Code really led to some wild things on mid-century television.

I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh

I just saw an episode of Perry Mason that I've never seen before!! I didn't think that was possible. It's a Christmas miracle ✨️ The Case of the Cowardly Lion...

This is a great episode!! It has zoo animals and drug smuggling. The daily double 😁 I am glad that Perry proved the lion's innocence.

But also the way Della looks at Perry at the end of the last gif (in the right corner). She sort of scans his face, fixating on his lips, giving him hungry eyes ❤️‍🔥

Perry just can't take his eyes off her <3

I mean of course they are JUST secretary and boss here… sure Jan 👀

Della: *sighs*

Perry: “Why the sigh? I thought dinner was excellent.”

Della: “It isn’t the dinner.”

I love this shot because it's all Barbara here, not Della. Barbara Hale went to art school before becoming an actress. She never learned shorthand or any other secretarial skills—all those times we see Della furiously scribbling in a notepad, Hale was really sketching.

Raymond Burr was a huge art fan. In addition to being an avid collector, for a few years he operated his own art gallery. Love of art was one of the many things he and Hale had in common and was an important part of their long and deep friendship.

While in the episode, the portrait of Perry is supposed to be a gift to Perry from a grateful client, in reality Hale had done the portrait of Burr as a gift. That's why she's so proud and happy in this shot: she's gifting a dear friend a work of art she created with her own hands.

married couple coded.

Della: Of course, if you want all of the cases in here, it's going to take me till the middle of the next century.

Perry: By that time, computers will be obsolete. They'll be implanting chips in all the odd parts of our brain and skull. I wish they could find some for my knee

Della: So do I.

Good God, she aged like fine wine.

i know nobody asked for this but hear me out, I kinda wanna do something perry and della related (obviously) but I’m not sure what yet and although I do have some ideas I don’t know where to start. so far I’ve been enjoying the perry mason content in here, y’all are so creative! i’m still figuring out how tumblr works (it’s nothing like twitter)…so I guess stay tuned :)

okay bye (for now)

ps: dropping a perryxdella pic just for the sake of it
