FAMOUS GRAVE - Remembering Jack Webb & Dragnet TV Show Filming Location

Today, my travels take me to the famous Los Angeles City Hall landmark in downtown Los Angeles, California to visit the free observation deck and to remember actor Jack Webb and his TV series Dragnet.
I also visit Jack Webb's grave site at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills.
Thanks for joining me on another nostalgic road trip down memory lane.

This is the city....Los Angeles, California.....I love Dragnet. Jack Webb in my humble opinion was perhaps one of the greatest Producers radio or television ever had. He believed in realism and gave Los Angles Policemen their due credit. Keep up the good work Steve.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I think a legion of fans would agree with you. Thanks, Paris!

[@hestheMaster]

You are so right about Jack Webb. Another interesting think about his production company Mark VII Limited, that it' was his arms you see all dirty and wet hammering out the insignia with the mallet at the end of his TV productions.

[@disgruntledpedant2755]

Omg just reading those words.....Webb was a fantastic booster of l.a. and law and order. He would die seeing how dems have corrupted the government. And destroyed the city forever. IDk how the city will ever recover from democritis. All rights would have to be stripped away. Trillions would have to be spent building DOZENS of mental hospitals and VAST desert prisons a'la joe Arizona sheriff guy. That will never happen, as we know, so, ultimately, vagrants will overtake the entire town.

[@paulvon2378]

Dragnet 1967 was the best season.

[@joelbrown9780]

Great video. Webb helped promote first responders with EMERGENCY. He used television to educate the public. Too bad nobody has taken his place.

[@joshjenkins6883]

I don't think anyone could.

[@chrisnord1739]

When I was a kid me and my grandpa watched dragnet together it was how me and my grandpa bonded thank you for the great video it bring back great memories for me keep up the good work

Jack Webb was a straight shooter on Dragnet. Thanks for the tour

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

He was definitely old school and unforgettable. Thanks, JH!

[@MrHeadbanger366]

It's my understanding that Jack Webb was planning a third Dragnet TV series. Sadly, he died before he could make it happen. Also, he was John Landis' first choice to play Dean Wormer in Animal House. Webb turned him down. He was known to have a great sense of humor, but had none where his image was concerned. A fine example of his humor was the Clean Copper Clappers sketch he did with Johnny Carson.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Wow, I didn't know any of that. Thanks for sharing it with us MHB!

[@margemiller8017]

I saw the Clean Copper Clapper capper. Geez it's funny. You can see it on KZbin. You'd never think that's Jack Webb

[@jackwebb714]

He was.Kent McCord told me he was going to be his partner and 13 scripts have been written.Landis wanted Webb for Animal House but he felt it would not work out.

[@keithmichaels7561]

I wonder how animal house would have turned out if Jack Webb took the part of wormer.

Love Jack Webb and all the work he created. I've even found most of the radio episodes online. His first 'partner' on the radio show was "Ben Romero", played by Barton Yarborough. Yarborough died suddenly in December 1951, and the next episode of Dragnet called "The Big Sorrow" told of Ben Romero's sudden passing in character. Yarborough is also buried in Forest Lawn.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

i was there yesterday, but didn't know he was there. thanks, eric!

My Dad was a LEO, so we always watched Dragnet and Adam 12 my favorite was EMERGENCY, I grew up to be a Medic and worked with the Ambulance Service in the county I grew up in! Another great tour, thanks Steve

Must visit city hall again. It is a gorgeous building that really takes me back in time. If the walls could talk.....what stories. The two filming locations that come to mind are: city hall "Speed" and the 3rd street tunnel "The Dark Knight Rises". Also, thank you Steve, for mentioning the radio show "Dragnet". In the evening, I've been listening to and enjoying a lot of the old radio shows and will definitely be giving Dragnet a listen tonight.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Wow, it's so cool that the old radio shows are still available online. And thanks for sharing those two movies. Good memory. Thanks, Lisa!

[@suehofkamp8594]

What a beautiful old building! Nice to finally see some of it from the inside and the observation tower. Dragnet was my all time favorite show. I still watch it once in awhile on KZbin. Yikes! You must have no fear to drive in a city that big.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I've been driving in LA since I got my license at 16, so I guess I'm used to it. Thanks, Sue!

[@waltertomaszewski1083]

I've heard the Disney Concert Hall almost got taken down due to the reflective nature of its steel shell. It was reflecting too much light and heat into traffic and either causing collisions or near misses. After enough complaints and some research, the city told Disney to do something pronto about it or lose it. Disney called in some architects/engineers who studied the building and concluded that altering the exterior by dulling the finish would stop the reflections. It took some time, and Disney execs were a bit worried the alterations would fail, but it turned out it was the right way to go.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Wow, I hadn't heard that, but I remember thinking how dull it looked this time compared to the last time I was there. I just thought it was the early morning shade. That's a shame, it was so beautiful in its original state, but the glare from some of these buildings can be blinding, so it makes sense. Thanks for sharing that, Walter!

[@pauletteaguilar1394]

So many places you take us to,lots of good shows, and there were so many I truly miss all the wonderful TV shows of the 60s and 70s such a great time,thank you so much

It really was. Thanks, Paulette!

Jack typified a time that is long gone.

[@capnhawk51]

When I was growing up, I always admired my Dad's LAPD badge with City Hall on it. I couldn't understand why it had the Daily Planet building on it! Spent many years working across the street at City Hall East. Hard to believe that at one time, neatly all the city departments operated out of that one building.

[@deborahsmith7970]

[@lesd9783]

Awesome tribute to Jack Webb and awesome video of LA City Hall. Jack Webb was the creator along with Robert A. Cinder of Adam 12 and Emergency. I talked with Robert Fuller (Dr. Brackett on Emergency) few times and I remember Robert Fuller tell that he was called into Jack Webb's office and told Robert that he (Jack) wanted Robert to play a emergency room doctor and Robert stated that he was not interested because he was used to do western shows and that's what he really wanted to do, but Jack wasn't a no from Robert, so Robert took the role. Rampart General Hospital was represented by Harbor General Hospital, located in Torrance is now Harbor General Hospital was renamed as Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in 1978. County of Los Angeles Fire Department Station 127 was the filming location of the station 51 for engine and squad pulling out of the station and shots of returning to the station and shots of the front station. In 1999 the title was transferred, and Squad 51 was then donated to the Los Angeles County Fire Museum in Bellflower, California. Both engines used in the show are in the museum too. I was present for the 1999 reunion of Emergency and have returned for other reunion events prior to 2007. The driver of the fire engine (Mike Stoker) was an actual firemen and he held AGS card so he could be in the show and drive the engine. The 1st Captain on the show was an actual Captain and he had retired from LACOFD, then that is when they brought Michael Norell in as Captain. Sam Lanier (uncredited voice of dispatcher) was an actual LACOFD dispatcher and his voice was normally who you heard when the station received dispatching at the station or heard on the radio conversations with dispatcher. LACOFD Fire Station 127, located at 2049 East 223rd Street (between Wilmington Ave and Alameda St, with the 405 freeway visible in the background in wide shots) in Carson, California, last I knew, they will offer tours of the stations and you the break/lounge room, bunk rooms and station office and last time I was there, they still had some pictures of the tv show in the lounge room. Thanks for the outstanding video and thanks for sharing.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

OMG, I had no idea you were such an Emergency fan. I've had so many viewers ask me to do a vlog on Emergency. Maybe I can visit these locations. We'll have to talk about it when I see you. I never watched Emergency. I must be the only one! Thanks, Les!

[@lesd9783]

@@TheGraveyardChannel Oh yeah, I am a big fan of Emergency, right along with Adam 12 and Dragnet too. Just to be totally honest with you, I had seen Robert Fuller, Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe last year in June at a event in Tunica, MS and I had plans on going this year, but I changed my plans for this year in June, because I wanted to meet you in June and spend enjoyable time meeting my new friend, you! Plus with Johnny Crawford not able to come this year and Don "Jug" Reynolds passing away in January, just not going to be the same event this year. I can always drive down to Texas and swing by Robert Fuller's ranch on my way to visit my cousin. I'm excited with you coming to do some vlogs and showing you around here.

[@robertcarly9183]

Jack lived in The Sierra Towers in West Hollywood at the time of his death. Jack was given a near police officer funeral or a police officers funeral by the L. A. P. D. because they were happy with how Adam 12 was produced, it was great PR for the Dept and many men and women became police officers because of the show. On a sad note, Jack's daughter Stacy whom he had with ex wife Julie London was killed in a crash with a C. H. P. car at the age of 46 on Sept. 27, 1996.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

That is sad about his daughter. I lived in West Hollywood at the time of his death, but don't remember hearing about it at the time. Thanks for sharing all of this with us, Robert.

Great video, Steve! I was born in Santa Monica, yet never toured that iconic building. And l appreciate the attention you gave to the architectural detail, moreso than Huell Howser on his video visit (altho that was probably Luis). This is definitely one of my favorite's of yours.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Jack Webb was born in Santa Monica, too! I almost mentioned that. Wow, I didn't know Huell visited City Hall. I used to love Huell, but I recently watched one of his episodes and I wasn't that impressed. I had forgotten that his were mostly interviews and I've grown to love the vlog format that is so much more personal. I love architecture and art and could have shown much more, but I've noticed that most viewers don't care much about it, so I left out a lot. This was one of my favorites, too. Thanks, Neal.

My mom has a picture of her with a cardboard double of Jack Webb, along with doubles of Reed and Malloy from Adam -12. She was working at Universal Studios, at the time. She worked in that all black building on Lankersheim. I believe that that building was constructed about 1964, or 65. Jack Webb reportably had a special reserved table for him at the Cock & Bull Restaurant on the Sunset Strip, he was such a regular there. Years ago my mom got me the recipe for their welsh rarebit.

Excellent Video . I will never make it to California . So the Tour of the Observation Deck was really nice . I can just imagine all the Movie and TV Stars that have been in around that building . And i was Fan of Dragnet from the 50s . So seeing Jacks final resting place was a very nice touch . Your Channel is always informative and done out of respect . Thank You .

Enjoyed the city view and historic buildings. Somehow reminded me of films I've watched like Chinatown, L.A. Confidential, Devil in a Blue Dress. Thanks, Steve.

Yeah, this building really takes you back in time. Thanks, FL!

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Definitely worth a trip. Thanks, Bill!

Steve. You just gave me the bug to visit City Hall. It's something I 've never done either. Thanks for the great VLOG.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

It's definitely worth the trip. Thanks, Stan!

I love how his gravestone has just the facts: Jack Webb 1920 - 1982

Great job as always Steve. Pat yourself on your back. You are indeed a film director in your own universe. A career aspiration realized perhaps? Straight A's! Thanks again.
