I'm mixed between if the show 'IRONSIDE' will be cancelled after one season or it'll be renewed. The Pilot obtained 6.9 views, which is quite good considering it's on the NBC channel, however - the show did get negative responses from critics. What do you think will happen? Will it be renewed because of the high ratings or cancelled due to the negative responses?
shareNo. This show is finished.
It will likely be NBC's first Fall cancellation. The only question is whether they'll air the remainder of the season or it will get what ABC did to Lucky 7 and just pull it from the line-up altogether.
Exactly. This is most likely no longer a case of whether it will see a second season or not, it's whether it will make it to episode six or not.
An hour long drama starting with just a 1.3 on one of the big 4 networks is DEADLY. Playboy Club started with a 1.6 and fell to a 1.3 by the second episode. It did not have a fourth.
Get ready for the AXE!
It not it's going to be cancel with the next week or so I never watch it and don't care I feel this is a joke
shareCan't see who it won't be, the last episode scored a HORRIBLE 1.1. It would take a miracle to turn Ironcrap around.
shareI actually like this show, I hope it isn't cancelled.
shareDon't hold your breath waiting for the renewal.
shareNBC has canceled "Ironside" after five episodes. This remake is based on Raymond Burr's classic 1967-75 series of the same title,this time with Blair Underwood,aka
"L.A. Law" as the disabled detective.
As of October 23,2013 NBC will aired the last episode of the series.
It will be replaced with "Dateline" with Ann Curry.

As I said! HAH!
TOLD ya!
So Phylot you want a cookie or something? Why are you so damn happy this show is cancelled? This is the third post I saw of you boosting about it you being right that it is being cancelled like you're freaking Nostradamus or something. For someone that doesn't like the show(I assume), you do frequent the board often. Do you have anything else going on in your life? Look, shows come and go, but you boosting about it makes you look like a real assclown.

How old are you?
shareAwww, poor little butt-hurt shill. Ironcrap got the AXE like it richly deserved! FACT
Welcome to Ignore, you crybaby moron.
Phylot, you are a disgrace for this community. Period.
About Ironside, it deserved to be canceled. The show wasn't that bad, but it wasn't spectacular either. Quite boring by times, annoying cast and bad writing.

Anyone who judges something without even seeing it is the joke.

Really?
Ideas are one persons interpretation of a potential course of action......and totally dependent on that persons credibility. OW GOT THAT WRONG!!!
Yes, really. Whether it's dependent on one person's interpretation or not, in fact no matter on what it's dependent, an idea is judged on its own merit, not on its source. In other words, to evaluate an idea, you don't need to know who originated it.

the show got cancelled due to the ratings. After the first show, they ratings continue to decline. They saw how the show did for this week and they panic. I know the show was going to be cancel because for one, there was no word of the mouth that this show was good. They are done, i didn't know this was a remake of an original Ironside from years ago. they are not going to pick this show up.
shareWhen I first saw the promo of this I told everyone around me that this show would be cancelled in less than four months.
Just about no one wants to see a black dude in a wheel chair as the main character of a show. (No racial connotation implied)
I don't mind him being black or in a wheel chair, I don't think either of those factors was important at all.
What hurt this show IMO, aside from almost no advertising was simply that it was not original in any other way. It pretty much hit every cliche "cop with an attitude and a chip on his shoulder" that has been done to death in a 100 other shows. Making him black and in a wheel chair is just window dressing on top of a formula that is almost as old as TV.
Beyond that the acting was flat and everyone acted like you should just know what was going on already (no back story or development?).
All we really got to see was him breaking the law and than getting away with it because it solved the case. At least most procedurals go through the motions of presenting a mystery and not just resorting to beating up every suspect or dangling them off of buildings weekly.
There's only so many times you can accept a cop breaking the rules without consequences, it gets old fast and leaves open too many other loopholes which were never even attempted to be explained beyond: "he's in a wheelchair so he gets to do what he wants", except even in the flashbacks he was behaving this way so even that doesn't work.
The show had some potential, the cast could have gelled in the long run, but it came out of the gate already feeling stale and old and it's not shocking at all that it was cancelled; I just don't feel the cancellation had anything to do with him being black or in a wheelchair.

No racial connotation implied??? Come on!!! Try a little harder to convince me! I am a white woman and loved seeing Blair Underwood in this role and thought he was great and thought his character and the show was very interesting and complex. I am really bummed that this show was cancelled and I hope enough people will write in to try to save this show. I know I will.
People in wheelchairs can do most if not all of those things.
Do you seriously think they don't have sex?

That's not always true. It depends on exactly what is damaged.
I've known guys with non-functional legs who were perfectly capable of sex and reproduction.
It all comes down to which set of nerves have the damage, it's not just automatic that paralyzed legs also equal no sex.
