The show revolved around former San Francisco Police Department Chief of Detectives Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr), who was forced to retire from the department after a sniper's bullet paralyzed him from the waist down and confined him to a wheelchair. As a "special department consultant," Ironside retained a floor (for living and office space) at police headquarters and made use of a specially modified and equipped police van to accommodate his wheelchair. The show became a success as Ironside depended on brains and initiative in handling his cases. The supporting characters who helped Ironside out through this difficult time included Police Commissioner Dennis Randall (Gene Lyons), rookie detective Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway) and young socialite-turned-plainclothes officer Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson), who were all cracking some amazing and serious cases. There was also delinquent-turned-bodyguard Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell), who subsequently also became a police officer, and graduated from law school to become a lawyer late in the run of the series. By the show's fourth season, Eve Whitfield was replaced by another young policewoman, Fran Belding (Elizabeth Baur), who filled much the same role for four more years. The San Francisco Police Department or S.F.P.D., is responsible for policing in the City and County of San Francisco. ...

Burr and the main cast reunited for a made-for-TV movie in 1993 which aired not long before Burr's death. 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 and modified his full beard to a goatee for the Ironside movie. Unlike the original series, which took place in San Francisco, California, the reunion took place in Denver, Colorado (under the auspices of Ed Brown being appointed the city's deputy chief of police and being a leading candidate to be appointed chief), which was also where the last few of Burr's Perry Mason films were produced. According to amazon.com the first season is scheduled for release on April 24, 2007. Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney who originally appeared in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. ...
