I had no idea so many great co-stars appeared opposite Raymond Burr and I feel a "Dinner and An Episode of Ironside" coming on. I have quite a few of Raymond's fave recipes in my collection and I have it on good authority that he was an excellent cook! Thanks for this great review, Ironside here I come!

Unfortunately, I'm expendable and disliked. Ironside would never be able to figure who bumped me off.<br /><br />And great write up. I never got a chance to watch "Ironside" except in re-runs. I always felt sorry for Raymond Burr, having to act all the time sitting down. As for Lee Grant, she'll always be the Widow in the "Heat of the Night" to me. rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-30283769978794932182018-08-21T18:43:02.424-07:002018-08-21T18:43:02.424-07:00I've been a fan since childhood.

I recall Cleveland Amory writing in TV Guide that even if every episode of Ironside wasn't the best episode of Ironside, we were happy to spend time with the Chief, Ed, Mark and Eve/Fran. <br /><br />Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-25303240235798399422018-08-21T18:10:55.937-07:002018-08-21T18:10:55.937-07:00I've always loved Ironside more than Perry Mas...I've always loved Ironside more than Perry Mason surely because Ironside was running when I was a wee shaver so there's the nostalgia aspect. My Dad was a devout fan so we watched it every week. <br /><br />I'm sure I saw this episode then but fortunately I've seen it more recently on either MeTV or Cozi and it was a terrific one. Lee was her usual intense resourceful self though some of her fashion choices and the things she wore in her hair scream "60's" <br /><br />Watching the series now it's easy to see why it remained popular for it's entire run. It had a solid concept and never felt the need to deviate from it or make it flashier. We got to know the cast over time, and they were a solid if not dazzling group, but it never became about them but always the cases.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-23056352076530572962018-08-21T05:00:00.350-07:002018-08-21T05:00:00.350-07:00That is the best excuse I ever heard!

Raymond Burr was a TV legend. Nine years as PERRY MASON(1957-66) and eight years as IRONSIDE(1967-75). What was really good about these shows were the guest stars that would appear. Lee Grant in this episode and in the week before Jack Lord. Those were the days.Walter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02507750468123235383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-81899411352870313742018-08-20T17:41:17.069-07:002018-08-20T17:41:17.069-07:00I agree with the previous commenter.

I recall seeing Raymond Burr on the Phil Donahue show waaaay baaack. A young boy in the audience asked me where he got all those old cars for his show (Perry Mason). Burr smiled and said "from the old car store".Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-34481238644416353592018-08-20T05:51:38.121-07:002018-08-20T05:51:38.121-07:00Hi Caftan Woman...indeed I remember enjoying the l...Hi Caftan Woman...indeed I remember enjoying the last couple of seasons of Ironside as a small child. But was confused as to why he could walk in black-and-white (Perry Mason) but wheelchair-bound in color...all in the same afternoon of reruns!<br /><br />I have never seen this wonderfu episode, however, and look forward to finally catching it. I love Farley Granger from Hitchcock's Rope, of course, and what a treat to see the young Quincy Jones--so all-around brilliant and talented. Of course, the super glamorous and always edgy Lee Grant looks as if she steals the show...can't wait. <br /><br />Thanks so much, Patricia, for participating in the blogathon...you rock!<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.com
