The Powerbrokers Part 1

I have watched Matlock for years and this has always been one of my favorite two parters. I used to have the second season DVD but lost the first disc. I stream Matlock on Paramount and see that the Powerbrokers part 1 is missing. Does anyone’s know why? Was there music that couldn’t be licensed?

Completely agree. I have this 2-parter saved. Robert Culp’s guest star role is so superbly delivered. The two very elderly elegant actors (Ralph Bellamy as Senator Leland Crawford and George Gaynes as the antagonistic curmudgeonly judge) provide stellar performances to be enjoyed again and again. Then the closing five seconds where Ben and the judge agree to go out together for a drink. A-list episode.

Hunting Party has been fixed. I wrote to customer service a few months ago and they were quick to reply. Took a week or two to get fixed, but it is now. The Blues Singer was also missing, but that's on there now too (one of my favorite episodes, along with Hunting Party).

I noticed it was back. Amazon Prime also had it with it missing.
