I liked those wide brimmed hats men wore. My grandpa really looked sharp in one when he went into town on Saturday night! I sure loved that old farmer. He passed away from cancer in '56 when I was seven years old but I still miss him.

I'm here because of Carolyn Jones...what a great actress she was!! so natural and beautiful, too bad she never got to star in a big movie the way she deserved

"There's the bakery wagon". I remember with great fondness the Helms Bakery truck coming around. My grandma would buy us a donut. It looked so good when they would slide the drawer out with all the choices. Sure wish we had that today.

Too bad we couldn't have the original commercials, instead of three intrusive fakebook ads.

I just want people to talk this fast, work this hard, care this much, and dress like it matters again.

Originally telecast on April 22, 1954. Adapted from a July 6, 1950 radio episode.

How does Webb keep a straight face in those scenes. This is hilarious stuff, and his deadpan reactions are surreal!

[@janyceparks8326]

"There's the bakery wagon, I need some bread" Oh, the Helms bakery truck was so yummy.

I loved how Smith came in and they shoot the bull for 3 to 4 minutes about a tooth and then Smith off handily mentions they have a dead body to investigate.

Jack Webb reminded me of Rod Serling; both men spoke quietly, but their voices carried.

Body bags & cigarettes, make the days fly by for Friday.

I like this side kick better than the later one.

[@billchambersmarquez1964]

Oh wow! The helms bakery whistle!!!!! Haven't heard that since 1969!!!!

[@richardpodnar5039]

Frank's admonitions to Joe about his wisdom tooth problem are hardly encouraging. Funny stuff!😂😅😊

[@TheKamereaminit]

Joe tapped the wrong side of his jaw in the drug store. 😆 The little bloopers make it even more fun to watch. 🎬🎬

[@1blackcat513]

Poor Joe always given his smokes away.

Fifteen years later, Harry Morgan played the same character as Ben Alexander, though they changed the name to Bill Gannon. Same expertise in all sorts of non-law enforcement subjects, same set of relatives who have all had the trouble that momentarily affects Joe.

[@nikmills]

I like how they stop at a bar and both treat their maladies.
