Diary of a Perfect Murder
"Not since Columbo has catching a killer been this clever!" That was the ad come-on for Diary of a Perfect Murder, a 1986 TV movie starring Andy Griffith as a homespun Georgia defense attorney. Griffith takes the case of a TV reporter (Steve Inwood) who has been accused of the murder of his ex-wife. In the tradition of Perry Mason, Matlock plays his cards close to the vest, then reveals the identity of the true murderer right in the courtroom. Sound familiar? It should: Diary of a Perfect Murder was the pilot film for Andy Griffith's still-running Matlock series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Matlock: The Judge
A woman has been brutally stabbed to death while her lover was taking a shower, and now it's up to Matlock to catch the real killer and clear the innocent boyfriend of suspicion. Unfortunately for both Matlock and the accused, the real killer may be the judge presiding over this very case. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Matlock: The Don, Part 2

A man whom Matlock once represented in a bitter divorce proceeding is found murdered, and the prime suspect in the case is his wife. Years ago, when Jason and Carla divorced, Carla wound up gaining custody of the pair's young son. Now, Jason has discovered that Carla is working as a stripper. After threatening to take custody of their son, Jason is found near death and Carla is singled out as the main suspect. But when Matlock learns of a woman named Helen Shelly, his suspicions begin to shift towards her for a number of compelling reasons. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Matlock: Santa Claus
A luckless Santa Claus has been accused of murdering that landlord who was preparing to evict an entire apartment complex, and though the suspected murdered isn't much liked by his neighbors they all pitch in to get him the best defense that money can buy: Matlock. Matlock doesn't much care for the man either, but not liking someone and believing that they are capable of murder aren't exactly one in the same. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

After awakening from a drunken stupor in the driver's seat of his car, Matlock's former professor Erskine Tate is accused of hitting a mailman during his booze-soaked joyride: Trouble is, Tate has no recollection of anything that happened that night.

Matlock: The Angel
A free-spirited rock star named Angel has been accused of murdering her manager, and Charlene accepts the case before Matlock even had a chance to consider it. Angel's case proves an especially difficult one when it's revealed that she was in an alcohol-induced blackout when the crime was committed, and as a result the hard-partying rocker cannot produce even the most basic of alibis. Asked by Matlock to tone down her lifestyle in the courtroom, Angel is nearly convicted of murder based on attitude alone. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Matlock: The Therapist
A famous actor has been accused of killing the owner of the popular sex-therapy clinic, and it's up to Matlock to find the true culprit. According to the prosecutor, the clinic owner had released the actor's name to the press, providing the perfect motive for murder. Now, as Matlock attempts to discern whether the actor is truly a murderer, his attention is diverted by the appearance of a former student in search of a job. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

An Army grunt has been accused of killing a sadistic lieutenant, and as Matlock delves into the case he finds that the lieutenant and four other offers were involved in some suspicious activity. Meanwhile, Charlene successfully goes undercover and gets especially close with one of the suspect officers. Later, on the stand, Charlene gets the officer to admit that the group was smuggling drugs. In the aftermath of that damning revelation, Matlock reveals that one of the officers sports a rather suspicious scar. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

When a desperate private nurse is accused of killing her patient, she offers her engagement ring to Matlock as a fee to defend her in court.
