Was Matlock a good show? Also, why did it apparently become so popular among geriatrics?

It was okay. Falls into the same pitfall every procedural show does, the formula gets boring. Matlock is a pretty hep-cat though. He's got a smarmy grin right before he nails you.

My favourite episode was when a literal ghost hired him to solve a case.

Know I understand why old people like it.

It's solid. Matlock as a character doesn't really get old even when he's doing the same thing every episode. The show looks nice enough and occasionally does something neat. It's more interesting than the average police procedural. The two-parter assassination episode is cool.

>popular among geriatrics
i always thought that was a meme, like why are there always so many old people in long john silvers, but i dunno there might be some truth to it

>that episode where Diane bets Tyler she can give Matlock a boner but she fails and later sees him get a boner while eating a hotdog

It's comfy as fuck, procedural structure is easy to get into, Andy Griffith, Banjo playin'... what's not to like?

People like things they're used to. When current twenty-somethings are in old people's homes, they're still going to be obsessed with F.R.I.E.N.D.S

My dad is in his late 60s and he loves Matlock. My honest theory as to why old people love it? Old people are usually tired or fall asleep easily. Matlock moves slowly and follows the procedural rules of reminding the viewers what we've learned so far after each ad-break. You can easily take a 15 minute nap in the middle and still follow/enjoy it.
