Well, it keeps ones mind off you-know-what.
CBS Justice are now back to series 3 mid-week while continuing with series 1 at weekends. Differences so far spotted: already at the start of series 3 Burr showed signs of the weight problem that would blight his later career; the number of pointy bras fell; there was still some smoking but not as much as in the first series; and Della Street had less action and less dialogue than the original author, Erle Stanley Gardner, gave her. (The producers ran out of books to adapt towards the end of series 1.)
It seems that General Motors provided the cars for series 3, and some European motors started to make their appearance. Fords predominated in series 1 and, although the principals were already driving those tail-finned monsters which were to dominate the late fifties and early sixties, there were still quite a few of the bulbous saloons pumped out in the wake of the second world war.
Later - I was mistaken about Ford and GM. The programme-makers tended to alternate between the Big Two from episode to episode within the series. There is more here.
