    Classic TV show you should be into/couldn’t get into

    Interesting points. No wrong answers on this thread, as it’s all subjective. It’s been over a decade since I watched Ironside, but I think a level of camaraderie does develop between Burr and his staff. As I recall Mark Sanger was pretty bristly in the early episodes. And I recall some later...
