Same here. When I listened to the old time radio episodes, I love it when they redo the episodes- The original 150 or so with Barton Yarbourogh, and then they redid them later with Ben Alexander. I have heard every radio episode, but LOVE the first black and white TV episodes. I am always looking for the unheard ones!

Bill Huber uh... No., there's no 70's Dragnet, it was Dragnet 1967, 1968. They were a huge hit on Nick at Nite, which brought Jack and his animosity towards the 60's counter-culture to a whole new audience, from 'Blue Boy', and all the terrific lines, like 'you got nice eyes... for a cop (girl blows smoke in Jack's face, then Jack says) 'and I bet your mother had a loud bark'.'

Then six years later, his most famous role would be New Mexico Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the long-running NBC Mystery Movie series “McCloud” from 1970 to 1977 (The first season, consisting of hour-long episodes were part of the short-lived Four in One series).

The irony of the the episode of the big woman is that for a long time the military made a commercial as to why not to pick up somebody who looks like a female hitchhiker you see this tall shapely form with long blonde hair it's only when the car slows down play camera pulls in as if it's the person looking at what looks like a woman play whip their hair out of their face and you see it's a guy and then the narrator tells guys don't pick up a hitchhiker you never know what you're getting. Like I said the commercial above was specifically designed to be on military television in order to warn military guys not to pick up female looking hitchhikers or anyone else. In the commercial the commercial about that I mentioned came out in the 70s and I'm willing to bet that it was inspired by the episode of the big woman.
