Quote:
In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one’s tougher than Det. Robert Ironside (Blair Underwood). 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), Holly (Spencer Grammer) and Teddy (Neal Bledsoe), as well as his former partner Gary (Brent Sexton) and boss, Det. Ed Rollins (Kenneth Choi) — 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.

Hmmm. IRONSIDE has a whiff of the old "I'm a cop -- and a DAMNED GOOD ONE!" stench about it. I love cop shows, and I'll give it a try. But I don't think it's going to be very good.

So which is the bigger slight to fidelity. That his skin pigment is too dark or that he needs to eat a few dozen more pizzas.

It's House with cops instead of doctors. Could be entertaining.

This is so not Ironside that I'm not even going to consider it. Never mind that Blair Underwood looks nothing like Raymond Burr beyond being male, Ironside was set on the west coast, San Francisco IIRC. Will not watch.

Ironside always bored me. I thought that he was phoning it in (in comparison to Perry Mason).

And setting a wheelchair-bound character in a terrain like San Francisco is just cruel.

Who would ever have imagined that someday Blair Underwood would play a character made famous by Raymond Burr?

Seems like there have been a lot of TV series that remake old TV series lately.

When I was young, I thought Raymond Burr was really wheelchair-bound. It was a triumph for the actor to find that part.

Hate to break it to you, but some of those people that ride scooters in the supermarket can walk.
