Matlock starred Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock, a sharp Southern defense attorney known for his gray suit, love of hot dogs, and knack for exposing the real killer in court. Premiering in 1986, the show ran nine seasons and a few TV movies, mixing folksy charm with courtroom drama. Created by Dean Hargrove, the same mind behind Perry Mason, it became a staple of late-’80s and ’90s TV with its steady formula and Griffith’s commanding performance. #americana #tv | Truck Stop Chic
