Ironside

Tweets from an "Ironside" panel at the Television Critics Association convention:

Next up at #TCAs13: NBC's "Ironside" remake w/Blair Underwood and Pablo Schreiber, who's not rocking his Orange is the New Black pornstache.

This Blair Underwood IRONSIDE remake just feels inches away from an SNL procedural spoof skit to me.

I like Blair Underwood, but IRONSIDE actually has his cop boss say, "There are procedures, dammit, and they need to be followed!" #tcas13

Standard "best actor for the role" answer to why #Ironside didn't cast actor w/ disabilities, but a decent technical reason, too+ #tcas13

+ About 15 percent of the #Ironside role involves flashbacks, so they say they needed an actor who wasn't a wheelchair user. #tcas13

I forgot about the sex scene Underwood does in IRONSIDE, which I was really glad they included. #tcas13

Blair Underwood is being smart and very specific about spinal cord injuries and disabled sexuality, and warming my heart. #TCAs13 #Ironside

Blair Underwood cites MURDERBALL in talking about his IRONSIDE character's sexual activity. #tcas13

... Do people with disabilities under 30 even know what Ironside is?
