"Dragnet" TV show....

rdcl · Feb 23, 2017

Just love it!!

Since I have Hulu now on my TV I've been re-discovering lots of vintage TV shows within their library of shows.

Over the past week I've been watching Several "Dragnet" episodes from the 60's & 70's.

I was far too young to appreciate this show when it originally aired.

Any others here like this classic cop show?

Joe and Bill were the best!

Had the best Christmas episode ever when they had to find a missing baby Jesus statue. Two versions exist, on from the 50s with officer Smith and the later one with officer Gannon.

When you finish Dragnet, give Adam 12 a try. Thats a good one too.

I have several seasons on DVD....
Some are rather dated in the acting but fun to watch.

I remember when I was just a kid watching Adam-12 when it was a new series. It was on Saturday night at eight PM in Cincinnati. My absolute favorite show as a kid.

It's a great old show......

It' a great old show and I love the terse dialogue and the 'time line' format. Morgan and Webb were just right for the roles. The only problem I have is that some shows are a little 'dated'. (See 'Blue Boy').

The acting was awful (Webb & Morgan moved like robots), the dialog was terse, the lighting/production values were LOW budget, and I absolutely loved this show as a teenager. Never missed it.

As Point 357 said, Adam 12 (another Jack Webb production) was also on my watch list.

They both look very dated now but I still love watching them.

... when I watch that I think of 'Reefer Madness'.

....real life day to day police work probably isn't THAT entertaining.

I read a book by a fighter pilot where he said that in real life, fighter pilots come off boring to anybody except other fighter pilots. His book was full of all kinds of 'techie' stories about the F4 and fighters in general. I ate it up.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
The LSD episode is just too much as Joe Friday cannot bring himself to say LSD, it is always lysergic acid diethylamide.

Jack Webb was a very good cornet player. He toured with his own band for years. He wanted to be a musician, but made more money as a producer/"actor".
