Dragnet | Ep47 | "The Big Badge"

[@esquad5406]

When I worked the road a long time ago. I would go by my moms house. She would always have something in the fridge for me.

[@johnbroadway4196]

Really exciting episode. Liked how it opened up, by hearing Joe's Mother. Nice dramatic touch.

[@heavenofinvention]

Ma is voiced by the great Peggy Webber. She was around 25 at the time. I ❤️ Peggy and this show. Peggy is still with us. She’s in her nineties now.

[@carolinerollins4676]

I love Joe's Mom. She is not overly protective. She is sweet. 😀😀😀

[@wandahall4435]

Thanks for posting these programs they are great 👍

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Who would've thought - Joe Friday, major mama's boy. Loved the episodes when Friday went home because it showed a different side of him and we got to know his overly protective mother.

[@mayalee7745]

"Joseph, is that you?" Joe is always Joseph to his Ma.😀

[@heyoldman2003]

She’s cool . Joe is Blessed to have her 👍🏼

[@jujujupiter]

“Who would’ve thought?” Anyone who listens would’ve thought. It wasn’t a secret.

[@brwnlady]

I liked his mom, too.

[@jayonnaj18]

I always felt Joe's mother, obviously a widow, was very caring and not merely overprotective myself!

[@davidfmaas]

Thank you for posting these episodes!!

[@cornellwaters9089]

Thank You 🚔

[@otrarchive]

You're welcome! Thanks for listening.

[@Dante-fk3ku]

Sgt. Friday was a momma’s boy. Lol Like the personal touch.

[@dphillips83]

And to think they give today's kids a hard time for living with their parents over the age of 30. But here is Joe Friday living with ma.

[@Krana-rt2yy]

There's a tv episode where Joe says his Ma moved out of the house, essentially.... He refers to her moving away from California or something to be near her sister.

[@heyoldman2003]

Hey ... At least he’s working 😎

[@jayonnaj18]

At least Joe worked and his income probably went a long way to help his elderly widowed mother! Sgt. Friday had a very dangerous occupation as a police officer!

[@Dulcimertunes]

So did Francis Muldoon on Car 54

[@schmim1]

Great episodes

[@KororaPenguin]

Anyone know what that case was, and if "Kirby" was ever recaptured?

[@WordSmithForge1]

"I didn't think I hit him that hard." "You didn't. I did."

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Anybody know the back story with Friday’s father?? I only remember one episode where he was mentioned (how Friday’s mom/dad met), but we don’t know if he died or what.

[@heyoldman2003]

That would be interesting To know 🤔

[@jayonnaj18]

I'm of the opinion that Joe's elderly mother was a widow and that Joe gave her financial help while he lived with her---unlike so many young able-bodied men today!

[@RogerRoddComedian]

Bleeding heart stupidity never ends, does it? Sent to a hospital? As many times as he already broken out? As horrifically dangerous as he had proven so many times already? Why, so we can help him? Morons never learn. A sociopathic psychopath is incurable. The only place they belong is dead.

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Roger Rodd It would have been a secured mental hospital. Back then, they had state mental health security institutions all over the place. I agree though. This guy should have been sent to prison. You have a hard time convincing me the guy was criminally insane and didn’t know right from wrong considering that he methodically planned his attacks, impersonated a police officer, selected certain victims, and attempted to escape and evade police multiple times.

[@RogerRoddComedian]

@@KZbin.Algorithmic.Nonsense Prison? Try a graveyard. That's the ONLY place where murderers belong.

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

@@RogerRoddComedian I don't think the guy in this episode actually killed anyone though. The other issue is that CA unfortunately has since done away with the death penalty.

[@RogerRoddComedian]

@@KZbin.Algorithmic.Nonsense California passed a Bill in 2016 to speed up the EXISTING DP. Emperor Newsom put a moratorium on it. Bleeding hearts are always trying to get rid of the Death Penalty. They have done close to doing so. They value the "rights" of criminals and have ZERO regard for victims-present and future because they routinely release sociopathic psychopaths.There are certain actions that when taken, exclude you from the human race.Unfortunately, these menaces to all who simply regard the value of innocent lives, ALWAYS have powerful advocates.

[@douglasschaden3475]

Escaping from Mendocino, he probably stumbled into somebody's grow operation and got shot by reefer addicts.

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

15 years after this they started calling them “100’s” instead of “long” cigarettes.

[@RatzoMcFatso]

Is that the great Parley Baer?

[@leetakamiya2162]

How old is Joe?

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Lee Takamiya I think he’s supposed to be in his early 30s around this time.

[@heyoldman2003]

I think his Ma told Dorothy at a barbecue he was 31, I think it’s too bad they didn’t get hooked up

[@strawwormcariama3280]

Fun.

[@wandahall4435]

Jack Webb is A Savage!!!

[@howardoller443]

Why do you obsessively post this inane comment after all the Dragnet episodes, Wanda?

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Come up with a new one dude

[@Cat-rc5bp]

Heavyset, round face and blond. Chris Farley?

[@blukmage19typeR]

2:10, 25:12 Déjà vu, much?

[@Griffinmc]

Joe really needs a girlfriend … or, um, a boyfriend.

[@howardoller443]

Thanks for the idiotic comment. It was neither productive nor necessary.

[@Griffinmc]

@@howardoller443 Lighten up, Howie. Bachelors who live with their mothers is a trope going back way before the 50s. And by the way, most gay men in this era weren’t hairdressers or interior decorators. Some of them were actually closeted cops.

[@howardoller443]

@@Griffinmc For one junior, your irreverent and inane comment neither impressed me nor accomplished anything even remotely productive or positive. Further, what makes you an expert on the secret life of sodomites of the 1950s?

[@Griffinmc]

@@howardoller443 I’m actually a writer who has done research on the “Lavender Scare” which resulted in a lot of US federal workers losing their jobs after being outed as well as the early gay rights Mattachine Society. You should research this period yourself. There were a lot of closeted Joe Fridays out there, but I don’t care to continue to engage someone who has already betrayed his homophobia by using the freighted word “sodomites.”

[@Cat-rc5bp]

Oh my. Such a pissing contest.
