Ironside: Discussion Thread

IRONSIDE

In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one’s tougher than Det. Robert Ironside (Blair Underwood, “The Event,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine”). He’s a fearless cop who won’t stop until the guilty are brought to justice. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists — Virgil (Pablo Schreiber, “The Wire” “Lights Out”), Holly (Spencer Grammer, “Greek,” “As the World Turns”) and Teddy (Neal Bledsoe, “Smash,” “Ugly Betty”), as well as his former partner Gary (Brent Sexton, “The Killing”) and boss Det. Ed Rollins (Kenneth Choi, “Sons of Anarchy”) — will do whatever it takes to solve New York’s most difficult and notorious crimes. As a detective, Ironside’s instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up… because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he’d never let a wheelchair slow him down. Nothing gets in his way.

From executive producer-writer Michael Caleo (“Rescue Me,” “The Sopranos”) and executive producers Teri Weinberg (“Ugly Betty”), John Davis, John Fox, Ron West and David Semel (“Heroes”), “Ironside” is produced by Universal Television, Davis Entertainment, Yellow Brick Road Productions.

I had no idea they were remaking this show.   One thing the original had was a nifty theme song and title sequence

I loved Ironside. I used to watch the repeats as a kid.

First Look

I saw that Ironside promo. It does not look particularly good, we'll see.

This looks terrible. I hate to see sexy Blair Underwood in what looks like a crappy show. I LOVED him on LAX with Heather Locklear. That show deserved more success.

Looks like he won't be needing the wheelchair anymore.

This barely lasted the length of a Perry Mason TV-movie.

LMAO at both of you!

It was ok, but I knew it wouldn't last long. I want Spencer G. on something else soon.
