"Huzzah for classic TV crime fighters!"

I was surprised people here had seen Ironside. For those of you who don't know but do care, tis a 70s detective show with a twist. And that twist is this: Ironside's underside is actually made of - yep, you got it- IRON! See, he's paralysed from the belly downwards, so he goes around in a wheelchair, which he referred to as 'The Chairlady McDeath'. Probably.

Anyway, he was like Angel, except he wasn't a vampire, he wasn't particularly good looking, and his group of Scoobies were pretty ugly too.

But still: this is one cripple you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.

So, feel free to bring up any other of your favourites.

Oh yeah, you gotta excuse me, I was having a blonde moment.

Although, if he can see EVERYTHING, does that mean he can see young children in the shower whether he wants to not? So technically he is a pedophile.

The mob is never wrong, I tell you.

Duh. He's in Heaven so he can see EVERYTHING that goes on. When he wants to solve a crime, he contacts a Medium who vocalises his thoughts to the police.

I thought that this was taken for granted.

Wouldn't it be funny if Adrian Monk really was a monk?


That would be the most ironic thing in the world ever.

Sloan.

Quincy just didn't do it for me, and he was far to smooth with the ladies for my liking.

Ironside was funny. That priest one sucks, as does Murder She Wrote.

Bah.

Sloan.

Yeah, we all spent our Saturday mornings coming up with decent usernames, kiddo.
