"Ironside with his paddy wagon would be way more intimidating."

Raymond Burr, who played Perry Mason in the wildly popular television show "Perry Mason" and later in "Ironside," lived a secret gay life in Hollywood when such a revelation would destroy a career.

Burr invented a biography for himself that included a wife and son who'd died, and used his busy schedule as a way to explain why he wasn't married. But Burr and his partner, Robert Benevides, had a relationship for 35 years that was secret to most of the world except for a handful of close friends.

I’d try my hand at that model kit.

The wagon had way more character though.

I found a kit on Ebay and have a watch on it just for run.

If it doesn’t get too crazy, who knows?

I’d prefer the Paddy Wagon.

Anyway I’ve been watching season 4. The quality isn’t that great but the episodes are still pretty good.

One has Richard Basehart really tripping out. That is priceless.
