28:21- It may have been "entirely new" for TV, but it was adapted from a previous radio episode- as this one would later be.

4 cents tax on $1.25 for 2 breakfasts and coffee. Long time ago.

Horse237 Amazing deal right? If you enjoyed this video please subscribe to my channel. I need to reach 1,000 subscribers by 2/20 in order to keep my partner status on KZbin and continue earning a little bit off ads each month that helps to cover some of the production costs of these videos.

I just subscribed.

Inflation runs long term at about 4%. So that means in today's dollars those 2 breakfasts would run about $14. Sounds right.

This guy plays the bad guy in so many episodes around this time. What was his name?

This is my comment.

Jack Webb is A Savage!!!

[@martinnibataan7046]

The story is true except for the names, the dialog and the way it plays out. Jack Webbs chronic alcoholism is not portrayed

[@douglasschaden3475]

Jack Webb was not an alcoholic.

[@docsodds8014]

Yes he wasn't at all

[@martinnibataan7046]

@Doc's odds Jack Webb died at the age of 52 Jack Webb and his best friend Harry Morgan (à la MASH fame) were chronic smokers and hard-core drinkers

[@docsodds8014]

@@martinnibataan7046 ok I just went through a research on him and yes they do say he was a big time smoker and liked to play cards and drink, 🍻 I should have made sure before I comented. But one thing is sure he never pushed or influenced people to drink in any of his Dragnet films or radio shows, all the contrary he rebuked some juveniles that did in it.

[@chillydawgg4354]

He was 62

What’s with the frequent character question “What’s that?” after something was surely heard? Some lame attempt at naturalism? It’s tiresome.
