I see it has been about 14 years since the last post on this message board, this is my first. Growing up (I would have been 14 years old when Season 1 first aired) I didn't really care for the show. I was definitely an Andy Griffith show fan (I was born in NC and raised in the Raleigh area), just not Matlock. Witin the last month I started watching Matlock on FETV and I really like it. Coincidentally, the lawyer from Atlanta that Matlock was based on passed away 2 days ago at the age of 96. I have read where the show was set and filmed in Atlanta, but I also believe it was later filmed in Wilmington. As I said...I'm late to the show
