A TVLine analysis explores whether Andy Griffith's folksy Ben Matlock from the original series would get along with Kathy Bates' cunning Matty Matlock in the CBS reboot. The piece weighs their shared drive for justice against stark lifestyle and tactic differences. It ultimately predicts they could form a strong courtroom partnership.

The CBS reboot 'Matlock,' starring Kathy Bates as Matty Matlock, wrapped its second season, with no return until midseason. This reimagining updates the classic legal drama originally featuring Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock, an Atlanta defense attorney who debuted on NBC in 1986 and later moved to ABC. Both characters share a whip-smart demeanor masked by folksy charm, using their age to disarm opponents while fiercely pursuing justice for clients. Matty even references the original show within the CBS universe, now streaming on Paramount+ and Pluto respectively.
