Arguably, Raymond Burr is best known for his two detective TV characters and the long-running series in which he starred. The two characters could not be more different (a testimony to Burr's acting), but which do you prefer - the black & white, film noir detecting and lawyering of Perry Mason or the full-color, 60s in full-swing wheelchair-bound Robert Ironside?
My choice would be Ironside, only because I think Raymond Burr got to do more "acting" on this later series. Don't get me wrong - Perry Mason is a great character, but the curmudgeony aspects of Ironside's persona combined with his handicap made him a bit more dogged and fiesty.
Anyone else?
