Started listening to these stories…now I can’t stop smoking.

[@nellwackwitz]

LOL! 😂😂😂

[@dimasgirl2749]

I've been listening to these for a long time, and I'm too proud of my soprano voice to smoke.

[@heyoldman2003]

I’m alway amazed at how casual the lab boys are . Like they are talking about a car’s carburetor that went bad or something. And Joe …he is always cool 😎

Muscatel, I wonder if they still make that stuff. I worked in Pioneer Square in Seattle in the early 70s and musky was the prefer drink for the locals . Rot gut is what we called it

[@vincentventra6891]

thanks for posting these great episodes.

[@blukmage19typeR]

26:13 Ben Romero says that wine stains weren't Muscatel since it is a white wine from Muscat grapes, not red.

The workers casually telling the cops they whistled at the dame...

[@rkgaustin]

She paid no attention to them.

[@heyoldman2003]

The one woman called Friday 'lieutenant. '

The moral to this story? Fooling around on your wife comes back to haunt you more often than not.

[@heyoldman2003]

Well , here’s a good story about mink coats . I friend had a friend who became convicted about her Mink coats . Told Patty she was going to throw them away . Well Patty said no way , I’ll take em . So Patty is up on Capital Hill in Seattle Wearing her new fur coat. Some younger kids came up and started complaining about her wearing a mink stole .You know how many mink had to die so you could ware that coat ?Patty Rubs her chin on the fur collar.. You know how many men… “ I had to be with “ ( she used different words) to to get this coat ? The kids just shook there heads and walked away .. the best part ? Patty heard her Grandmother say the same line in New York City 😎 Rest In Peace Girl 🙏🏼j

What do you have to do to get a first degree murder charge?

[@Dulcimertunes]

Premeditated

[@Dulcimertunes]

I’d like to know how long her sentence was. She took two lives as the widow is now alone.

[@rkgaustin]

I don't smoke long cigarettes so the ads have no effect on me.

[@jopowers5006]

The scripts, acting, and sound effects for this series are very effective. What’s unnecessary and irritating are the constant references to the appearances of women, whether dead or alive. “The blonde” is a constant reference.

What’s wrong with just enjoying an episode and not having to comment?

[@heyoldman2003]

[@nativeroscoe64]

All for a Mink Coat? Times have changed.

[@chillydawgg4354]

Fur is murder

[@Griffinmc]

One of the fun things about listening to old Dragnet episodes is realizing how much the world has changed since the late forties and early fifties. Fur sure.

[@Cat-rc5bp]

This was murder fer fur.😼

[@rkgaustin]

Criminally underrated comment.
