<p>The original “Matlock,” which aired from 1986 to 1995, was a reimagining of the long-running “Perry Mason” legal drama. But instead of a hardnosed attorney at the center of its case-of-the-week format, “Matlock” leveraged star Andy Griffith’s ability to play deceptively unthreatening, and then, in a climatic courtroom showdown, remarkably effective, even lacerating. With the new version of “Matlock” on CBS, it’s best to go into it understanding that it’s not a reboot so much as a show with a tenuous connection to the intellectual property of its title. But nothing gets green-lit today unless it’s IP, so here we are.</p>

Eventually it stretched 430 miles to Brindisi — gateway to the East — where Roman ships sailed for Greece and Egypt.</p>
