[@annietmood]

That scream was terrifying.

[@heyoldman2003]

Yes it was 😵‍💫

[@billgullett8616]

😲🙉

[@heyoldman2003]

Boy they painted a good picture of the house over looking the bay . And the weeds are doing good too 😎

[@heyoldman2003]

@Poacherbuster no rest for the wicked 😎 hahaha

[@jayonnaj18]

I just can't get enough of these great old episodes of Dragnet, they are the best! Nothing on TV could even get close to these wonderful programs that bring back fond memories to me, for I heard many of them when they were new! Thank you for airing these shows, I'm very grateful!!!

[@Inky1967]

I absolutely love this program! I love love LOVE it! Dragnet has a special place in my heart. I am looking forward to listening to precinct 21 when I’ve completed all of Dragnet.

[@InuitInua]

I always wonder what these neighborhoods they go to look like now.

[@garyfrancis6193]

The same as in 1949. Same people. It’s an illusion you’re in 2021. Joe Friday is going to call to see if you went wild and crazy smoking marijuana.

[@heyoldman2003]

google earth ?

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

Ghettos.

[@nellwackwitz]

Great episode! I wish I could see these houses. Sound beautiful. Thank you for posting these wonderful radio plays!

[@Griffinmc]

I listen to a lot of Dragnet shows. This one had one of the best scripts I’ve heard!

[@wandahall4435]

Thanks for posting these programs!!!

[@heyoldman2003]

Every time they mention flashlights I see those crappy ones we had . Had to smack them in your hand to make them work . And then think of the ones today . Big improvement 😎

[@JohnGalt-vr3lx]

God. Ain't that the truth. Big silver eveready flashlight with ridges all the way down. Bulb went out all the time. Batteries died quickly. The flashlight really didn't illuminate much. The battery tube was just thin sheet metal. Couldn't even smack someone with it. Kept on your duty belt wish a carrier that consisted of a piece of thin chain that attached to a leather piece at each end. When the mag light came out; it was like Jesus came down and shared sunlight at night. Mag light was the best until 10 years later when the streamlight rechargeable came out. Now they have handheld lights that are amazing.

@@JohnGalt-vr3lx Yea , they sure have come along way from “ our “ days 😎

[@howardoller443]

@@JohnGalt-vr3lx I remember when I got my first Mag Light in 1992. What a blessing on patrol. BTW, using the Lord's name in such an irreverent manner is inappropriate and entirely unnecessary.

[@JohnGalt-vr3lx]

@@howardoller443 the lords name? I can assure you that he is not my lord. No disrespect, follow and believe in whatever faith you wish. I believe a man without faith is a man without a soul or a brain. But I have seen what Christianity has done to the world. It isn't anything good. Have a blessed nite

[@howardoller443]

@@JohnGalt-vr3lx Your dark view on the world is ugly and sad. So many countless hospitals, schools, universities, orphanages, and philanthropic organizations have been founded and funded by Christian groups and you inexplicably choose to deny all that reality and instead pessimistically focus on some unexplained negativity. By the way, your permission for me to "follow and believe in whatever faith you wish" really illustrates the truth of the matter; in your monstrous ego you have made YOURSELF your own false god. This is the epitome of pride and the sure sign of a soul bound for Hell and eternal separation from the God.

The lady is Joe's Mom.

[@Billys-Joint]

thanks for a great series!

[@heyoldman2003]

Well she got hers .. you reap what you sow 😉

[@KororaPenguin]

Dante Alighieri would have had some very _chilling_ words for her.

[@nativeroscoe64]

I am re-listening to episodes. And boy - Talk about diabolical.

[@jayonnaj18]

I keenly remember when my mother would step out on our porch and shake the dustmop back in the day! 😊

[@7848ify]

Search Warrants weren’t a thing I guess

[@nellwackwitz]

Not yet. Their time will come! 😀

[@johnathonwaggoner358]

Not when you have probable cause

[@marievella2154]

There's something about this episode that just creeps me out

[@joejustjoe3689]

These episodes were supposedly based on real life events. I’d love to know the real story on this.

[@jeremyhoke1782]

Joe, Just Joe This is based on the case of a murderess named Louise Peete. She is in Wikipedia and there are also some KZbin videos about her.

[@adamschwartz3449]

I once read that _Dragnet_ episodes were amalgams of actual events.

[@KororaPenguin]

@@jeremyhoke1782 And for her, Dante would have... _absolute zero_ sympathy. ;þ

[@teresas8173]

Love these... thanks👍 Fatima cigarettes..”it’s wise to smoke Fatima”.. 😂

[@heyoldman2003]

David Swift extra mild . Yea sure . Mabey compared to a road flare 😎hahaha

[@heyoldman2003]

Bad cough 🚬. Fatimas😮. But the niece will sitting good now. Could buy lots of cough drops now $$$$

[@larrygrebler5054]

Ha ha ha! Thanks

[@Krana-rt2yy]

I know it's customary of the times.... But It's funny when Mrs. Johnson is politely addressed as Mrs. Johnson when she slaughtered the man that made her Mrs. Johnson.

[@dannyarmstrong2013]

Spoiler

[@DCShaneTours]

It's wise to smoke extra mild Sativa! 😊

[@rmedley22]

She was executed. OK that works. In an earlier episode a cop killer who executed the cop who put him in prison and then murdered a pharmacy employee gets life in prison. Huh?

[@jeremystone4924]

Why did they bring up the victims husbands passing, seems unrelated.

[@philipinchina]

I would like to change to Fatima but at only 5'6" I can't claim to be a "long" cigarette smoker.

[@philipinchina]

So was this Louise Peet? A really nasty piece of work!

[@KororaPenguin]

Treachery to hospitality AND to benefactors.

[@Billys-Joint]

The channel owner never comments here.
