In the 60s and 70s, detective shows all seemed to have “gimmicks”. This one was that Ironside (Raymond Burr) was paralyzed from the waist down. He was assisted by Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson), Ed Brown (Don Galloway), and Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell). Raymond Burr had previously starred on Perry Mason and supposedly he was in a wheelchair in this because he was very lazy in real life and didn't want to do repeated takes standing up.

From Finnish edition of MAD.
