    From his uniquely equipped office at SFPD headquarters, Chief Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) continues to lead his special police unit fighting crime that others cannot. His crack team includes Sergeant Ed Brown (Don Galloway), ex-con-turned-assistant Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell) and policewoman Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson).
In January 2010, Shout! Factory released a 7-DVD set for Ironside - Season 3. However, it was only available online, via the studio's website store, as a part of a program that was called "Shout! Select" at the time.

Note that back then, the phrase referred to DVD releases of TV shows and movies which could only be bought via the Shout! online store. The term fell into disuse by the studio for a while, then was recently revived to be used for a new Shout! Factory program: "Shout! Select" currently refers to a lineup of movie releases which the studio feels, in their own words, are "enduring cult favorites and unheralded gems"; they have nothing to do with the old "Shout! Select" program of years past.

As the original referral of the "Shout! Select" phrase fell into disuse, so the titles released under that old program also became discontinued. Some items, though, still have fans looking to buy those titles! The result? Shout! has decided to re-release a few of these, and is even putting them out to stores "wide" at traditional general retail. One of them is Ironside - Season 3.

The 7-disc set of this season will be available May 9th. Amazon.com has a listing for the item, and they show the package art below, but they aren't accepting pre-orders as of this writing. The list price is $44.99 SRP. Our thanks to reader Jackson Burnett for his help with this story!
