John
Ben
Phil
Ned
Following in the thematic footsteps of “Perry Mason,” “Matlock” followed a criminal defense attorney, Ben Matlock, as he worked to prove his clients’ innocence in the courtroom. The character, played by legendary actor Andy Griffith, was also a pseudo-detective, and often discovered new pieces of evidence overlooked by police and investigators. The series ran for 193 episodes across nine seasons, from 1986 to 1995.
The correct answer to this quiz is Ben.
