A blurb from Shout Factory about “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 in the turbulent 60s, Ironside confronted the hottest issues of its time-Civil Rights, drugs, hippies and rock “n” roll-and gave television its first disabled hero.
Ironside, the long running crime drama starring Raymond Burr premiered in 1967 and lasted 8 seasons. Perry Mason had just ended its 9-year run and Burr switched networks and again was upholding the law this time from a wheelchair! Ironside was a great series and it is wonderful that is finally on DVD. All 28 episodes from the first season including the feature-length pilot are on this set. This show was also a springboard for actors and actresses that have gone on to bigger things such as Harrison Ford, Jack Lord, Bruce Lee, Susan Saint James and Marion Ross to name a few. The information on this set does not show that the episodes are Digitally Remastered but the film prints are superb! Shout Factory has done a great job with this DVD set!
