Ironside - Season 1

In March 1966, NBC broke new ground in television programming by using a world premiere, feature-length movie as the preview of a potential new series called Ironside. The response was overwhelming. From 1967 to 1975, Raymond Burr (Perry Mason) celebrated his second major television hit. Set during the turbulent ´60s, Ironside confronted the hottest issues of its time - civil rights, drugs, hippies, rock ´n´ roll - and gave television its first disabled hero.

Left wheelchair-bound by a sniper´s bullet, long-time San Francisco Chief of Detectives, Robert T. Ironside (Burr), becomes the head of his own special police unit. Operating from a specially equipped office at SFPD headquarters, Ironside fights crime using intelligence and action. His crack team includes Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway), ex-con-turned-assistant Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell), and beautiful policewoman Barbara Anderson (Eve Whitfield, who won an Emmy for this role).

Ironside´s inaugural season attracted many special guest stars - including Jack Lord, Susan Saint James, David Carradine and Gary Collins, among many others - as it began its eight-year run as destination television for millions of Americans.
