Twenty six minutes? Golly that's only enough time to smoke 5 or 6 Fatima cigarettes...best of all long cigarettes!

Love it

Best episode I've ever seen, so far.

When she screamed I thought Webb was going to slap her. Isn't that what they did when women screamed in 1950-Yadda? Didn't have to be a dead guy either. Could have been a spider.

Always, The Big something, I wonder why???

ladp still alive

Paul Harrell sent me…..again. Rest in peace Paul 😞

Thank God for Friday.

I sure wish I could order a new 1959 Chevrolet but it might cost $2800.

That model at 10:52 later became Joe’s girlfriend.

I love how they are all wearing suits

14 takes? I didn't know Stanley Kubrick directed police dramas.

Really, That's it? 2 dead and no more than 5 years?

Really cool to see Tol Avery and Parley Baer in this

G.e. Blender catchy tune!

Thanks for posting - I love these old tv series'

Nakedcity

at the end they completely washed over the act of vehicular homocide. i mean the guy was guilty of more than just hit-and-run. he killed 2 people! now, the mystery is will the clapper-caper ever be solved?

They have done alot of damage up to this day just look where it led to

Who owns Dragnet income from DRAGNET? HIS DAUGHTER FAMILY???

i know who took the statue! the kid from "the 6th sense." btw, cops would not give a damn about a worthless statue being stolen. they'd say - go buy a new one you dork!

i wouldn't mind watching comercials as much if they made them like these ones. Store the blender on a shelf doo doo wop dah dah dah ......... that's marketing genius right there, i could listen to that all day in the car. And 10 and one half inches what housewife wouldn't want that?

of course that dang demon weed again. Scourge of the modern world. Why couldn't those kids keep it to wholesome scotch, bourbon, and vodka? Will they ever learn? Tsk tsk

Television in glorious black and white - the way god intended.

Isn't that Shemp in the photo booth!!?

My favorite episode.❤

This actress has been in so many episodes. Maybe this is the first. Really good!

Back in the days of three strikes and your out. Even for non-violent offenses.

LOVE the old Dragnet episodes.

This show is 70 years old and one thing is clear. Society had the same problems we have now. Murder and robbery, nasty neighbors.

Juke Box Music theme seems to have been on having eye lids half opened - catch the drift?

The police were too sure it was the first suspect then they were sure it was second suspect shows how easy a person can be convicted on some policemen hunches always best to keep an open mind 🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔

Friday smokes and exhales 5 inches from that guys face! Hilarious!

Originally telecast on March 19, 1953, and adapted from a December 14, 1950 radio episode.

I had never seen this one before. Jack Webb was sooo good playing Friday. This one tops the later one where Joe shot the guy in the laundry room. Dragnet '67 S2 E2 "The Shooting Board". I loved the reveal at the end of where the bullet from the robber's gun was hiding. One of the investigating officers has a great line! " Take a good look Joe. It's been hiding a long time."

"The Big Little Jesus" S3 E 17 (aired Dec 24th 1953 ) was remade for Dragnet '67 "The Christmas Story S2 E15"(aired Dec 21st 1967) Four actors in the remake reprised their roles from the original [Dragnet (1951)] episode. Along with Jack Webb, both episodes featured Harry Bartell as Father Rojas, Ralph Moody as Mr. Flavin (pawn shop owner) and Herb Vigran as the hotel desk clerk. Both also had the same main title announcer - George Fenneman. There was also a version done when Dragnet was first on as a radio series.

Great episode! The old vintage ads were a nice touch!!

the Cream was a multitalented trio. Those albums are fantastic. Clapton was suprising bluesy & pychedlic pretty much a trendsetter of that era.

My dad and grandfather were cops in LA in the 60s.

Along with the show Highway Patrol , Dragnet was the best for period scenery, vehicles and fashion. So cool to watch, still gives me a thrill. Dragnet Radio Show is my favorite to listen to to go to sleep.

Jury of peers... that's the system. Fictional judge should lose his Fictional job.

Barney Phillips (the fire chief) played Joe Friday's partner in other episodes.

Hot Dog and milk! A Coke would be more like it.

I liked that "No Smoking, please," for the smokers to put their cigarettes out. As for the jury, did someone have reasonable doubt?

My FAVORITE part of these shows, when the announcer says..." Lady and gentlementhe show you're about to see is true". or something like that lol

Grandma cashed $20,000 in bad checks over 9 years, so the LAPD devotes $200,000 in manpower and overtime to catch her?!? (yes i know about inflation, but please - she is kiting a check for meat at a butcher shop!).

Why was the judge not in a black robe? When would a judge ever make such a statement about a jury?

DF, please reveal the date ofirst airing. Thank you.

different opinions back then, but in fact, marijuana does NOT make people violent. there are, of course, "designer" drugs that do that

Give it him Friday...let him have it Smith. SOCK IT TO EM......BAM!
