* MythologyGag: In the first-season finale, Perry is grilling Ennis in court, looking to break him and get him to confess on the stand. In the middle of cross-examination, Hamilton Burger gets up from a bench in the audience and tells Perry that it won't work. The scene then cuts to reveal that they're actually in Perry's house rehearsing. Burger tells Perry to give up, that "No one ever confesses on the stand." Perry sees the point and decides not to call Ennis. The Raymond Burr show was so famous for doing that in every episode that [[ThePerryMasonMethod it named a trope]].
