9/10
An Iconic, timeless and classic cop series. Collier Young's masterpiece
4 July 2017
I have discovered back then Ironside when I was a child. I must have seen one or two seasons back then. Some months ago, I had an opportunity to buy the seasons on DVD, this is what I did and I watched all the 8 seasons. Raymon Burr's acting in Ironside is far superior than in Perry Meason. Ironside various episode featured and treated about civil rights problems, mob syndicates, political bribes, murder for hire and the Vietnam war. We will see evolve Mark Sanger', first Ironside's aid then becoming a cop and an attorney, also during the first four seasons the female officer was Eve Whitfield which I liked more than her successor Fran Belding. Some great guest stars like Joseph Campanella, Gary Collins, Vera Miles, Johnny Seven,Richard Anderson, William Shatner, Bill Bixby, David Carradine to name a few appeared in several episode. What was pleasing in Ironside was the use of rethorics and the way of leading an investigation. The plots in the different episodes were cleverly thought and the action was there. I recommend this series which is iconic and classic.
