Captain Harry Morgan only 33-34 working Dragnet episodes. Thanks for the KZbin post 👌

[@cushman47]

I’ve been following these Old Time Radio Classics for years. Thanks for putting these Dragnet episodes together.

[@joesimpson1476]

So love these old radio broadcasts.

[@calebcresse1641]

This show brings back memories for me. Tbh it gives me nightmares sometimes, but I still like it.

[@coreyfisher5827]

I love these

[@jubalcalif9100]

Heavens to Murgatroid ! Another wonderful "blast from the past" ! Love these programs from the Golden Age of Radio ! THANKS so much for uploading for us to enjoy ! CHEERS !! :-)

[@fromthesidelines]

Beginning with this broadcast, for several weeks, "DRAGNET" was heard on Saturdays at 7:30pm(et).

[@jeremybear573]

Wonderful Episode! Listened to on 2/11/23 Berlin, Maryland

[@fromthesidelines]

With this episode, the program temporarily moved to Saturdays at 7:30pm(et), through October 1st.

[@jayonnaj18]

I simply l-o-v-e these Dragnet radio shows! They were splendidly done and extremely authentic in my opinion!

[@kellyjustus6394]

Doesn't want the guy to talk to his lawyer. Never get away with that now

[@jamesstephenson2346]

And they shouldn't. (I'm not anti cop at all, but I don't agree with trickery and deciept by police)

[@TonyMichaels166]

Yeah. I’m pretty pro-LEO but even I’m not down with that 😂

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

The title gives the ending away a bit.

[@davidmoriah4176]

Did anyone else notice how the police kept breaking and entering the guy's property without a word mentioning a search warrant? Those were the days!

[@marktuttle3609]

They also conspired to keep the lawyer out of the interrogation.

[@heyoldman2003]

They should, he was guilty as sin

[@teresas8173]

@@heyoldman2003 yes, in this case, but I’d imagine corrupt cops would and have used this protocol to frame innocent people far too often.

[@davidsigalow7349]

This episode would make an interesting law school test problem in Criminal Procedure. There are least four issues in the investigation that would, today, would get the case dismissed for police musconduct.

[@terryenglish7132]

Dragnets themselves were ruled unconstitutional, as should drunk driving road blocks.

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

LUV IT!!! Thnx for posting 8/3/2021

[@Jerseysson27]

Is that harry morgan as the captain????

[@nellwackwitz]

Harry Morgan is a cop this time! And Raymond Burr is no good! And it sounds like Ellen Corby as one of the neighbors. Great radio!

[@JCMCentAus]

You're right. That is Harry Morgan, later Frank Smith on TV. I'm also pretty sure that was Raymond Burr, who played one of the captains or commanders. Trying to disguise his voice, I think.

[@SemperFighting]

Raymond Burr was the best Captain and yes this is a great show.

[@vleldaddio210]

That was probably a Webb regular the great character actress Virginia Gregg .

[@fromthesidelines]

Harry was "Officer Bill Gannon".

[@nellwackwitz]

@@vleldaddio210 I think you are absolutely correct! In fact, it sounds like Virginia Gregg played ALL the relatives and neighbors!

[@kyrenthang8633]

Is that Harry Morgan's voice I hear? 😆

[@HootOwl513]

Los Angeles with a hard G, not a J sound. Old School.

“Only the guilty plead the Fifth.”

[@esquad5406]

The big grave.

[@karenmartin8223]

They keep getting past the guard dogs by tossing fresh horse meat at them. Back in 1949 did the average Los Angeles butcher shop sell fresh horse meat, or did they have to go to some specialty shop to obtain it?

[@wufongtanwufong5579]

@evakatrina a It would have been. Horse meat was once a common ingredient in dog food

[@heyoldman2003]

My Dad told me that horse meat was a common staple . You know... for the poor folks

[@vleldaddio210]

Who gives a "Horse's Ass ?" Just U 😡 ENJOY the Show or make up ur OWN AH

Later, this episode was remade as "The Big Plant". This was a time before Search Warrants came along to straighten much of everything and the lawyers wouldn't interfere with the law. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2XMlJyVdrGpjNEfeature=shared

[@robinsattahip6269]

Yep, you don't get out of a bad marriage cheaply.

Room 42 … HOMICIDE

[@slytlygufy]

Back when Cali enforced the law.

[@heyoldman2003]

Boy ... what a way to make a living 😳. Lookin for human remains...I guess someone has to do it .. man ... i don’t know if I could do it ... 😳

[@Billys-Joint]

man's wife has suddenly dropped from sight. On the surface it appears only as a routine missing persons case. Detective Sergeant Friday has been assigned to Homicide Detail. He starts to investigate and suspicion grows. There is evidence of possible foul play. It's Friday's job to find the woman or find her murderer.

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

Pesky lawyers protecting the rights of their clients, LOL! Gotta nip that stuff in the bud. 😉

[@Dulcimertunes]

What about the son?

[@wadechilds6671]

It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 🚬☠️ This good episode could have been a great one if not for Harry Morgan's wooden acting. He sounds like he was handed the script five minutes before the show started recording.

[@philipinchina]

Women cause so much trouble.
