    Classic Strother Martin performance
    If you are a fan of Strother Martin be sure to catch this episode if you get a chance. His portrayal of a small town chicken farmer seeking to right a wrong is absolutely classic. His distinctive voice and delivery make his character funny and believable at the same time. The transformation from comic chicken farmer to his courtroom performance is endearing. He is every man versus big business in a role that is a treat for his fans.
