Description

|
|
|
This two-DVD set includes the first eight episodes of the second season of Ironside, which opened after the turbulent summer of 1968. In "Robert Phillips vs. The Man," Ironside sets out to prove the innocence of an African-American militant accused of murder; in "The Sacrifice," Ricardo Montalbán guest stars as a Mexican-American detective accused of murder. NBC television broke new ground in 1967 when it broadcast a world premiere movie to preview a potential new series, Ironside. The audience response was overwhelming, and for the next eight years Raymond Burr starred in his second major television hit, after Perry Mason, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Burr played former San Francisco Chief of Detectives Robert Ironside, wounded by a sniper's bullet and paralyzed from the waist down. Becoming the head of his own investigation unit in a specially equipped office and relying on his intelligence and experience to solve crimes, he sent out team members Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway), former criminal Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell), and policewoman Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson, who won an Emmy for her performance) to find clues. In addition to featuring television's first hero with disabilities, the series tackled such issues as civil rights, drugs, and hippie culture.
