Ironside

This show was really really boring, I can't believe that it actually got made. What a boring reboot and they worried way too much about being politically correct - I care a lot more if a show is good and compelling than if it is politically correct. I don't know at all what the producers of this show could possibly have been thinking when they gave the go ahead to this show and then let it be made this way and still went ahead and aired it on TV, it's like they didn't care it was bad or didn't care if we liked it or not, probably just worried about the bottom line.

Ironside used to be a good show but it doesn't seem like something that needed a reboot. I am very glad this show is gone because it was a wasted opportunity. Could have been a good show if they did more with it than just said "let's make the guy athletic and black, that's different enough right?"

Despite the great casting and blair underwood's guaranteed emmy nominated performance as Michael ironside, this is a very dull and ultimately predicable remake of a 1967-75 classic starring the late great Raymond burr about a police officer who is shot and paralyzed into a wheelchair for a lifetime and in order to solved cases on his own, in the original he was a san Francisco police detective, but in the remake he is a NYC Police detective, the teleplay does not work, the story is a mess, the writing is ultimately useless and the editing is just plain unwatchable, although is not nearly as dreadful as the extremely horrible knight rider was in 2008, but still very disappointing, although the cast is fine in their roles, but the remake just doesn't do justice for me, so I Have to give this one a thumbs down for me.

Just watched a couple of episodes - I have to say that the original Ironsidewas way better.

It was clever without relying on the fine looks of the actors. The original Ironside was cool and held my interest to the end of each episode, this updated version just does not...at all. I think the producers were attempting to do 'gritty', fast-paced and pretty - all at the same time. I was bored and literally switched off a number of times. I only recommend this to people who primarily watch TV to see actors with good looks. Otherwise this is a poor knock-off version of the original. Blair Underwood is far too good looking, too toned and too suave to play this role.

Another example of why remakes of good old TV series can be bad. Blair Underwood is no Raymond Burr and will never be. The original Ironside had this typical 60's-70's flavor that you hardly see in series today as well as some great guest stars but also some great actions and intensity. this one is just another remake in order to relaunch something that was big in the past. The script of the episode is poor and the plots are poor too. Watch the original Ironside if you want to see the real thing. For many fans worldwide Raymond Burr immortalized Ironside. Blair Underwood simply doesn't fit the bill at all, same for the other characters of the show, they aren't the original ones. This TV series deserve one out of ten because it lacks originality and is a big disrespect to the original Ironside series

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.
