I've always really liked Dragnet on the radio, so I was excited to be able to watch it. Unfortunately, the style doesn't translate as well as it could. I've been watching the shows more like I am listening to the radio program Turn it on, and listen while doing something else. The story lines and the history insights you get are still really interesting though. I just wish it translated from radio to tv a little better.

Is anyone else having a problem viewing Dragnet episodes? Last night/early this morning the episodes took forever to load, and now they are loading but I get no sound. I have checked other sites and have full sound so I know it is not my computer .

This show has some of the most classic lines from Joe Friday. One of my favorite episodes is LSD Story, the scene where they pull his head out of the sand and he starts rambling a bunch of crazy stuff, Hilarious.

Actually, it was Jack Webb who sort of assembled an ensemble of actors he trusted and was comfortable with so he could just pick someone and not be concerned about their capacity to handle the role.

Yes, and there are two Captain Howe's in homicide division. Production values were primitive. Gannon's home is the same set used in the "Dead Realtor" episode. Like Adam 12, boulevard scenes would end up in the same 2 block back lot at the studio. The same cars would pass a few times. But we overlooked all that back in the 1960s. Suggesting that while we might be much more sophosticated in our television we are somewhat the poorer for our 21st century digital intellect. See 3 other replies

In the old days actors weren't as independent. A studio or production company would have a pool of actors on contract. So, a director wouldn't be allowed to go out and hire somebody for one role in one episode; he would pick an available employee. See 3 other replies

In many jurisdictions, it is actually illegal to exit a vehicle on the traffic side. This is a law left over from the days before center consoles. I've never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket for this unless they opened the door and hit someone, but when an accident occurs it's your fault. Cars used to be much larger, so sometimes someone might think it's quicker than to get out and walk around. See 1 other reply
