We were regular Dragnet fans back then but I now get emotional as the shows work out . The shows become my reality as I watch, I was practically crying this episode.

One of this long running TV series that had a meaning. Seems like the four in the kitchen area of the apartment had a strong feeling of sorrow of a person who experienced the tragedy of losing a baby, then, trying to replace the deep hurt of loss.

At 1:20, Joe Friday states, "It was Thursday, November 28th". That would have been the fourth Thursday of November, meaning, it was Thanksgiving (and, the latest date on which Thanksgiving can fall ... in the US, of course). It is surprising that they didn't play up the angle that the child was missing on a traditional family holiday.

This episode has a lot of personal meaning to me, and I NEEDED it tonight. This is the first time I have ever watched it. When I was born, in 1951, my mother had already had 2 miscarriages and a “nervous breakdown”. She was 32 years old when I finally came along. In 1951, that was very old to be a 1st time mother. Mine was a difficult birth, and I only weighed 5 pounds, tiny for a live birth back then. But, if I had been any heavier, I would not have survived. She might not have either. (Do you know the name of the physician who attended your birth? I do. I was named after him. Well, both of my grandfathers were also named John. She told me the actual truth years later.) I was “just right”, and would be her only child. She did not live to collect Social Security. Cancer of the Uterus took her 3 weeks before her 64th birthday, almost 40 years ago. Ironic, isn’t it?

Originally telecast on January 31, 1952. Rebroadcast in syndication as "BADGE 714" from 1953 through 1962. Adapted from the November 9, 1950 radio episode. Yes, Barney Phillips was chosen to replace the late Barton Yarborough- as "Sergeant Ed Jacobs"- on radio *and* TV in January 1952.......but was eventually dropped because he sounded too much like Jack Webb. Ironically, Herb Ellis {"Sergeant Olivas"} replaced HIM as the original "Officer Frank Smith" in the fall of '52.

A problem is the cigarette smoke adds an element of random ess to scenes. Making them more believable or tolerated. Otherwise they look stage overly simplistic.

Can you imagine, anyone expecting an award, for a missing baby? People have no shame! Why would anyone expect a reward? Imagine, a young couple, missing their child, being so worried, but worse, is a woman, who is so self centered, that she kidnaps someone else's newborn, no matter what she has been through!

Sad story but. They didn't need nice soft guitar to soothe anyone. She took a baby! They had orphanages. All they had to do was apply! THEY spent ZERO amount of time showing us the Mother reunited with HER adorable Baby!!! Get Real.😊 She never says "I'm Sorry". And "Oh just one more thing" as Columbo would say. Mothers give birth in Alaska where it very cold for the mother and the baby...they don't all come to the south...😊
