I am so very disappointed! I heard last night that Ironside didn't make it and that it is being cancelled. How foolish are the folks in charge? this is a wonderful show. I have no idea what it is up against because I have to watch television on Hulu... so I am not the typical audience... but I absolutely loved the show (not the sex in the wheelchair bit) but the fact that finally, after 45 years, we are showing someone with a physical disability in a position of authority and power! That we were finally showing a person of color, who had been one of the good guys, injured in the line of duty, in a position of power! Who makes these choices to remove programming... This show was/ IS wonderful!

Cancelled? You have got to be kidding. This is really too bad.This program had pop. It had edge. It did not amble along like soooooooooo many other TV programs.The flashbacks were very interesting.I felt the actors took the dialogue and added grit. Underwood is excellent. Supporting actors developed their characters quickly and each one stood out.Felt the directing furthered the edge and grit.So when reading the negative feedback from the beginning really baffles. I guess folks want bland formula.This is really too bad. This was one of the very few shows that had legs and wanted to see go. Goes to show mediocrity prevails. This show was not mediocre... but average tastes prevail. Disappointing to see this cancelled.

Blair Underwood is a great actor and he takes on the challenge to remake an old TV character Robert Ironside. He's a cop who got shot but stayed on duty in the field. He's an action sexy hero supercop on wheels. A lot of it is too over the top without being smart. It's just too much to see him time after time taking the bad guys down. At some point his disability should be a disability. I understand the wish to make disable as just another opportunity, but I would respect the show more if they do it more realistically.It's a dark moody show. It might be too dark and moody. No matter what the case may be, it never got past episode 3 before being canceled. It had horrible viewership.

I love this new version! I love all the action in it. I disagree about the storyline, I feel it does have one, maybe two per episode? You have to pay close attention to it. I watched Raymond Burr's original show when it came out, and it was OK because the violence, graphics and action were barely a part of the old show, which was normal for the 60's - 70's. It was good then but only good and I get bored watching it now. The storyline barely keeps my attention. Blair's new version is action-packed, maybe a little graphic for me (I just close my eyes), but the story is exciting and meaningful. I have been a fan of Blair since "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and "L.A. Law" in the 80's - 90's. I will continue watching it this season. He is a great versatile actor and I am happy he has this chance to show his wonderful talents and range of work.
