Yes, he lost two cases. One was "The Case of the Deadly Verdict." 10/17/1963. But it wasn't his fault. His client withheld evidence needed to win.
He also lost "The Case of the Terrified Typist" (6/21/1958). After his client has been found guilty and sentenced to death, Mason discovers and reveals that his client isn't the person whose name (Jefferson) he was using throughout the trial, and successfully asks for a retrial since much of the evidence applied to the real Jefferson, not his client (real name Kincaid). Still, it would be wrong to say he "won in the end," since he admits that Kincaid is indeed guilty, and makes it clear that Burger should have no problem getting another guilty verdict against Kincaid (using the correct evidence and name).

The Cleaver's address was 211 Pine Street, Mayfield. The address of the house for the first two seasons was 485 Maple Drive, also in Mayfield.

Possibly ( Pal) all lassie dogs used in the movies and tv shows were of the Collie breed.

Chemically pure of any humor or light moments.

Eric Foreman was played by actor Topher Grace.

Alfalfa was played by the late Carl Dean Switzer (August 7, 1927 - January 21, 1959) . He attempted to stay in acting after The Little Rascals, but had little success. One of his last film appearances was not in a live role, but as a photograph in the movie "White Christmas", as the brother of one of the singing sisters, who had served in World War II. After show business, he became a hunting guide, and eventually was killed by gunshot as a result over an argument about $50.

He died of a pulmonary embolism while in the hospital.

I could find no tally of how many times the Cartwrights were shot. Considering most people live entire lives without gunplay, the Cartwrights have much more than average.

Post civil war.

After a long search for a catchy name, one of the show's writers suggested Sesame Street. The name "Sesame" was meant to conjure up a sense of excitement and adventure, as in the Arabian Nights command, "Open Sesame!" Because the show was set in an urban street scene, Sesame Street seemed an ideal combination.
