Q: I feel like I've learned a lot watching "Perry Mason" reruns. Are all the legal statements made in the shows true? The writers must have included a lawyer.
If you're facing down a murder charge, don't cite a "Perry Mason" episode as legal precedent -- indeed, no one would ever tell you to take anything you see on TV as legal advice. That said, the "Perry Mason" writers room was pretty strict about legal accuracy.
(A quick note before we proceed: Since you said "'Perry Mason' reruns," I'm assuming you mean the original '50s-'60s series, rather than the recent HBO reboot. The HBO version spends less time in the courtroom, anyway.)
Black-ish, on ABC
Andre "Dre" Johnson (Anthony Anderson) and his wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), struggle to keep their family grounded in this comedy. Dre worries that his and his wife's success and suburban lifestyle is spoiling their kids, and he may be right.
Q: I was watching the 1989 version of "Batman" and noticed that Jack Nicholson was mentioned in the credits before Michael Keaton, who played the main character. How is the order of the names in the credits decided?
There are a few factors that go into the billing order, and a couple of them came together to get Jack Nicholson top billing in 1989's "Batman."
Nicholson actually had it written into his contract that he be billed first (he had a lot of other wacky stuff written in there, such as the stipulation that he not be scheduled to film during Los Angeles Lakers games).
