This article is about the original 1967â1975 television series. For the remake, see Ironside (2013 TV series) . Ironside is a Universal television series that ran on NBC from September 14, 1967, to January 16, 1975. The show starred Raymond Burr as a paraplegic Chief of Detectives, Robert T. Ironside. The character debuted on March 28, 1967, in a TV movie called A Man Called Ironside. When the show was broadcast in the United Kingdom, it was initially under that same title.
After nine seasons on the air as Perry Mason, Raymond Burr was right back on TV as Ironside.. It's a testament to Burr's abilities as an actor that Robert Ironside isn't just Perry Mason in a wheelchair.. Ironside set itself apart from late 60s, early 70s crime dramas by being rooted more in deduction than in shootouts and car chases.
