Raymond Burr gets on my nerves!

The only things I liked about Ironside was the theme music (the improved 1971 version) and Barbara Anderson (who quit the show in 1971).

Great find. Wow, Universal actually digging in to the vaults. Knowing them I'm sure one season is all we'll see but hey at least it's something. I just hope the 2-hour pilot movie is included as well.

Re: IRONSIDE

Thanks, Chris! This is great news. The $35 price is very attractive. I also hope the pilot movie (A MAN CALLED IRONSIDE?) is included. With Universal having dumped the DVD-18s hopefully fans will give this a chance so that we get multiple seasons. Rockford, Murder She Wrote, and Columbo have all done well on DVD and perhaps Ironside will as well.


Please seek help Between Perry Mason and Ironside there are 17 seasons and well over 450 episodes of Mr. Burr to savor. The list of actors who can claim a lead role for that length of time is mighty small. Heck, I'd even buy Kingston: Confidential if it ever came out.

Oh man, I REALLY hope this is the case!

I love Ironside - an intelligent, engaging crime drama ahead of its time.

I just hope the releases prove popular enough that we get all the seasons, including the later ones with Elizabeth Bauer as Fran Belding - haven't seen those in YEARS!

Roll on April!

Gord's news story (http://http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/n...fm?NewsID=6684) about this says SHOUT! is releasing this. That's good news in my opinion. They will not have the sales expectations that Universal will have and we stand a better chance at getting multiple seasons released.

Re: IRONSIDE

No help required. I can watch something with Raymond Burr in limited doses. He was OK in a 1958 SUSPENSE radio series episode though, in which he played a writer of a radio drama series who plots the murder of his boss on the air! Of course it was a good script that carried the story, and not Burr. He was still guest starring on radio after he already started as Perry Mason on TV.

Re: IRONSIDE

That's great news and maybe it will pave the way for the major studios to license out more vintage series that they (the majors) would never do on their own. Universal is not new to licensing; in the early days of DVD, they licensed some of their theatrical features to companies like Anchor Bay, Image, and even the budget Goodtimes label. Given Shout! Factory's track record, you just know that this set will be done well.

I don't know if this is official artwork from Shout! Factory, but there is cover art posted at the Amazon listing for "Ironside."
