  Ironside (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ironside (broadcast under the name A Man Called Ironside in the United Kingdom) was the name of a television series which ran on NBC from 1967 to 1975.
As a consultant, Ironside retained his office space at police headquarters and made use of a specially modified police van to accommodate his wheelchair.
Burr was starring in an ongoing series of Perry Mason TV movies at the time, so in order to make himself look less like the other character, he dyed his hair red and shaved off his beard for the Ironside movie.

 V (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TV cameraman Michael Donovan (Singer) sneaks aboard one of the Visitors' motherships and discovers that beneath their humanlike facade, the aliens are reptilian in nature, and carnivorous - preferring to eat live food, like rodents and birds.
Later, throughout the TV series, the Resistance Network's TV news bulletins report stories of erstwhile enemies uniting in common cause against the alien occupiers, such as fl and white South Africans (the series was produced when South Africa was still under Apartheid).
The cancellation of the TV series in the spring of 1985 appeared to have caught its producers by surprise, as the season ends with a cliffhanger.

It was followed in 1984 by a second ratings smash, "V: The Final Battle", and the powers that be made the inevitable decision to proceed with a weekly series based on the premise of an Open City, where the freedom fighters would continue their fight against the Visitors.
V was too expensive a production to be a weekly series, so stock footage was used from the mini series, and it's stories were just no where near as exciting.

 Ironside | TV Guide Elizabeth Baur Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
She admits that slipping into the Ironside squad was difficult to begin with; Barbara Anderson's departure came as a surprise to everyone, and the first three scripts of the season had already been written and were ready to roll when Elizabeth was signed.
No, seriously, during the second year, about six months before we closed down, it got to be draggy because there was no communication between the office and the actors.
The way she landed the Ironside job tells a lot about those mysterious qualties known as "charm" and "personality" which actresses are supposed to have but which are not always visible in head-to-head, off-the-job confrontations.

At the time it originally aired it was the first TV show in history whose lead character was physically disabled (Longstreet, about a blind detective, was number 2).
The plot of "The Return of Ironside" serves as a justification for getting all the old characters from the TV series together to solve a mystery again.
But just as the TV series Ironside was better than most other cop shows, the movie is a lot better than most other cop movies made for TV in the last decade or two.

Unlike "Perry Mason" which I found rather boring, "Ironside" is more exciting and I prefer to see someone like "Ironside" getting the better of villians and putting them away, rather than defending them as "Perry Mason".

 V: THE SERIES DVD
Network execs never rest on their laurels, and sure enough NBC reunited the cast and crew for a 6 hour sequel mini-series the following year called V: THE FINAL BATTLE, which offered more action than the previous year, but ended the saga in a highly anti-climactically manner (the promised ‘final battle’ was a joke).
Sadly, the premise never lived up to the original V, and the series was canceled in 1985 after 19 episodes.
The transfer is pretty good, but it has it’s share of dirt, grain, and speckles in the picture, which is natural given the 20+ year vintage of the source material.
