These shows are so much better than what's on nowadays

[@heyoldman2003]

You said it . There is nothing in 2020 that catches my eye 🤨

[@heyoldman2003]

And welcome aboard Frank ! We love ya !

[@RogerRoddComedian]

Some things don't change. Program audio fades in and out. Commercials? Perfect.

[@wandahall4435]

TV Episode with Ellen Corby as the lead actress (here played by Helen Kleeb).

I love these old radio shows of Dragnet! They are so authentic and I can actually "see" them without having to use my eyes which are dimming with age! Officer Frank is so comical at times, and he and Joe have a really good chemistry, in my opinion! I much prefer the radio programs than the tv shows of Dragnet!

One of my favorite episodes, both on radio and the TV adaptation in black & white. I adore how totally immersed it is possible to absolutely be when listening to these gems using only our auditory sense! As always, thank you for uploading! Your work literally provides artfully produced programming for thousands of people, like me! ! You are a veritable Happy Machine! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@scottbennett777]

Any attorneys out there: I wonder what happens to the will in cases like this.

[@teresas8173]

Goes to probate and can take a very long time to decide who might be or should be the beneficiary. If there’s no one I think the state gets it? That’s why you should always make a Will if you have something you want to leave to your spouse, children, or whomever.

[@fromthesidelines]

29:33- "Now, it's 'BARRIE CRAIG, CONFIDENTIAL INVESTIGATOR'.....on NBC." **chimes**

[@Tommy-76]

Always curious as to why they didn’t check the lungs

[@teresas8173]

They knew cigarettes were harmful

[@marvinkatko6982]

I’ve never been much for cigarettes, but I’m considering trying some Chesterfields. Apparently doctors have medically determined that they cause no ill health affects. They did a study!

[@wandahall4435]

Jack Webb is A Savage!!!

[@howardoller443]

Wanda, why do you hate the police?

[@stuckinmygarage6220]

Too bad
