The complete Joe Friday lectures from DRAGNET 1967-1970. Jack Webb! Over 1 hour!

Every police department needs a cop like Joe Friday!!!!

It was Monday, June 11, I was working the night shift out of Hollywood Hills. The skies were clear in Los Angeles, with a light marine layer moving in. Then this came in. A well edited video compilation unlike any seen before in the city of Angels. Hilarious. Timely. Worth the effort.

It is indeed although I've seen him use a similar line on a male crook. The guy tried to bait him by saying "I'll bet your mother didn't do much for a living" to which Joe responded "Maybe - but at least she didn't bark" or something very similar :)

Joe Friday portrayed by Jack Webb was one of my Television dads and I am grateful to have had him as a role model in my room on the television almost every week on cable. Thanks for this compilation. Really made my day.

What great memory & delivery by Jack Webb.

[@michaelmantle6043]

Throughout his entire career of producing films and TV shows, Jack Webb cultivated a "stable" of actors and actresses who appeared many times in various roles. Names like Vic Perrin, Peggy Webber, Virginia Gregg, Leo Gordon, Martin Milner, Herb Ellis, Natalie Masters, Jack Kruschen,, William Boyett, Art Gilmore, Don Dubbins and many others. Loyalty at its best.

[@lukeskywalker1840]

The greatest of all time. I wish we had more like him. Jack Webb was even buried with a LAPD badge number 714.

[@UNOwen1]

As much fun (and as easy, too 😉) and as easy as it is to make fun of Joe Friday, I always remember that he was married to Ms Julie London (here's a funny thing which actually happened; when Jack and Julie were about to go into their divorce hearings, Jack held the door open for Julie, and said, 'Julie, you look like a million'. Without saying a word, she held up 2 fingers - 2 ...million...dollars). The only thing he asked for from their divorce? His jazz record collection. The other thing is Julie and him were lifelong friends - he was so close to both Julie and (her second husband) Bobby Troup, he hired them for Emergency! (my favourite moments were when the guys world hang around with Julie., sigh 😊) - Jack had even used Bobby prior to the series; he's in an early episode of the 60s Dragnet (I can't remember which one, but Bobby pays a bartender who's daughter's vill, and he's a bookie as well. it's - for Dragnet - an episode where they have a bit of compassion for the 'baddie') I also love the Nick at Nite spots for t Dragnet - they always play up Joe (one goes, 'meet how Friday. He comes in 2 varieties; mod and ultra-mod'. If you remember it, it see it here in KZbin, it's funny). Sometimes I think the only thing Joe lives on is coffee and cigarettes (I just watched in where he inhaled 7-8 times in ONE minute. It's the episode where they go on that 'Speak Out' show, and all the panelists - and the audience pick on poor Joe - Gannon's sits quietly). If Mr Webb were still with us, if loved to have seen him with am e-cig 😉. Fun video.

[@colleen4ever]

Gannon spoke out a few times as well too. I just couldn;t believe the entire audience was like that! ALL Hippies, that Speak Your Mind show was so biased!!

[@rboltt]

It's too bad Dragnet didn't stick around long enough for Jack Webb to give a lecture about the blue wall of silence and defend Frank Serpico during the Knapp Commission. That would have been amazing.

There’s so much wrong with this banter, and so many reasons Jack Webb is full of it...but for some reason I love the hell out of him!!!!!!!

[@colleen4ever]

HOW would he be?!

[@Say_When]

How did he remember all those lines?.... He's so good... The cadence the tone, the one liners.. If They rebooted it but completely head to toe non-woke… kept the values … the acceptance of reality… that if you want to change things.. grow up and do it at thell ballot box… work within a framework is the very backbone, very foundation of what makes America so special so unique… so improbable…

Police Departments are a public service paid for by the government and civil institutions. You literally can't get rid of them. No more than you can get rid of fire departments or schools.
