Ironside: Season 02

Drug pushers, thrill killers, civil-rights militants, college activists, illegal abortionists, phony psychics, and good cops gone bad--these are but a few of the story elements in the second season of Ironside. Though confined to a wheelchair, former San Francisco police chief turned private detective Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) continues to fight the good fight with the help of his loyal aides Ed Brown (Don Galloway), Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson) and Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell). Episode highlights include the two-part "Split Second to an Epitaph", in which Ironside undergoes surgery that may restore the use of his legs--unless a murderer gets to him first; and "Why the Tuesday Afternoon Bridge Club Met on Thursday", wherein the magnificent Jessie Royce Landis appears as Ironside's iron-willed Aunt Victoria. Other guest stars this season are Troy Donahue as a priest, Milton Berle as a vitriolic talk-show host, Paul Winfield as an urban activist, and Ricardo Montalban, Anne Baxter, Burgess Meredith, Broderick Crawford and the ubiquitous Vera Miles. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
