    1967...a bartender and a supermarket cashier got married and could afford a house.

    25 minutes sure goes fast when you watch a classic like Dragnet !

    The "This is the city" segments make me so nostalgic. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960s and 70s. Seeing LA as it looked in my childhood always brings back great memories of driving through on the 5. My grandparents lived north of Fresno and we would make the drive up at least once a year. The California I knew is gone. I like seeing it as it once was. Paradise. With Disneyland!

    This is actually a TV show and can also listened to like a Radio show. Close your eyes and just listen to it. Brilliant.
  • Something I noticed about this old show. The story really flows. Keeps you in your seat. Keeps people highly intrigued. I like it.
  • @gamerzero7735
    Keep your NCIS, CSI, and Law and Order. Give me Dragnet, any day.
  • @lisa-el3db
    These 2 actors are just great together. Harry Morgan always keeps the story grounded, and allowed Jack Webb to steal the scenes, not realizing how truly great his acting just as he did was my fav. Always the secondary characters I love watching.
  • @firecloud77
    It brings me great comfort to know that Joe Friday is on the job keeping the city safe.
  • God, I loved how Jack Webb put his clipped manner of speech into everybody. No ums, ers, or sighs. Snap! Snap! Snap! Wonderful stuff.
  • The 21st Century doesn't have a single, solitary cop show to equal Dragnet.

    God, those empty streets and free-flowing traffic
  • Great show! Grew up watching Dragnet, loved the flashback, the drama, the old cars, and the way Jack Webb spoke, sharp, direct and straight to the point. This was awesome! Thanks for the post!

    A very good episode. One of Bobby Troup's many guest appearances and a very young Kent McCord as an LAPD officer pre-Jim Reed.
  • Please God, just bring back a cop show like this! Grounded in reality with true crime files and explanation of real police procedure. We NEED a show like this today.
  • @wishgodgirl1903
    Always a great program, even after 50 years! More please...
  • Im 26 years old and just found out about this show. Ill be watching this on dwn time. :-) Gotta love the classics.

    This being 1967 and WWII ending only 22 years earlier, WWII surplus was very common, and cheap, so it’s likely all the German stuff on that set was real.
  • Jack Webb: such a remarkably versatile actor, producer, director, writer, etc!
