14:44 I love Ben Alexander, the actor who played Frank Smith. He was so natural and relaxed in how he moved on the stage in character, in contrast to the others who have a sort of 1950s stiffness we're used to seeing in anything from this era. The way he plops his hat on the couch, and then later when he sits in the chair facing away and then turns it, are just hilarious.
Have you noticed how everyone in this series smokes like a train? I saw one scene when Joe Friday unwrapped a pack of (ABC - Aways Buy Chesterfield 's) Chesterfield's. Most all the men of the 1950s smoked as they were WWII Veterans.
My Dad loved Dragnet we would always watch it together when I was a little girl. The hand with the hammer at the end always scared me and I would run out of the room when it came on......lol
LOL! I wasn't afraid of the hand with the hammer, and always had an impulse to want to wash the dirt and grease off of that hand so it would be clean!!!☺
I always wanted a press and mallet once I saw that. I used to think that the stone was soft, I knew that as I watched the Flintstones all the time and knew the difference between rocks and granite.
Thank you Film Detective. Thanks to people like you I don't have to watch the garbage that passes for TV programs today. I love these old shows. I wouldn't call them the good old days. We baby boomers were in the middle of the Viet Nam war. As I was growing up so many of the people would call the returning men baby killers and spit on them. It was a sad time for these men many of whom got drafted. Some left the country to Canada to avoid the draft. But, one of the great things were good TV shows. Thank you for sharing. Ms Michal 🙃☕
Years ago a friend got fired from a convenience store because the manager said she didn't try enough to stop a robbery. She got away from that kind of work and is now retired and living a good life. The manager later tried to stop another robbery. He's been dead for 38 years now. Losing your life over money isn't worth it. This episode has great dialogue among all the players.
During another episode, where they were reviewing potential recruits, the same question came up. An applicant ran and hid when his store was getting robbed. He was able to give a description and car license plate number. The non-police reviewer of the candidates thought it was bad that he ran. Friday commented that in doing so, he saved his own life and had information that helped solve the case. Perspective, I guess.
I remember the VII trademark from my childhood. Soon as i seen the hand and the hammer striking the chisel I said to myself VII LOL. Funny how memory works even after 63 years.
john a. Gee I guess you’ve forgotten the 1950’s, 1960’s and even later, early television, that cigarette brands were major TV show sponsors? How could you forget how society was just 10 years after WWII. How TV was coming into middle America and the family gathered around and watched TV together? And the public was not yet warned that smoking was hazardous to their health. Don’t you remember? The history, how society, media, family values evolved or dissolved or changed? I’m sure if you think back you’ll remember those times and the history.
@@j.kaymetcalf-benton6600 Yes, I remember how families were back then -a man, a woman and children. Then the Vietnam war began and we began to question authority....and values. American society has been disintegrating ever since.
Amazing how it was, when I was young in the seventies in my first job, a guy I shares an office with would smoke two cigars a day, one in the morning and another in the afternoon
Nice. I don't remember this one. If you it in all these commercials then you can Afford VOLUME. I have had neighbor charged as accessory for warning bandits.
I just had to comment on the opening speech, because I live in L.A. " This is the city, Los Angeles, CA. It was Monday, January 25th. , it was warm in Los Angeles ". LOL.

I asked , " how do you folks stand living in such a cold climate in the winter" ? Their response was, " once you get a certain even 10 below zero, there is no difference between 10 below and 40 below, because cold is cold ". Anyway, stay safe..
@@bra8623 Close to Canada... when I first moved up here, you wouldn't believe how much I bundled up in the winter, but you get used to the cold after a while. Now, I don't even bother buttoning up my coat if it's more than 30 degrees. I don't bother with a hat and gloves (assuming I'm not going to be outside for hours) unless it goes down to 20 or lower. I'll wear warmer clothing for 15 below. When it gets that cold, you have the added bonus of hearing the snow squeak when you walk on it. 😊
Joe: "You have steak here?" Waitress: "Why yes, we do." Joe: "You cook 'em well done?" Waitress: "Yes." Joe: "I want mine trimmed." Waitress: "Trim off the fat and trim the steak from the bone?" Joe:: "Just the fat, ma'am."
An unarmed man against a 12 Ga. shotgun? I would have given him the money, too! Money is insured. One blast in small space could kill 2 people. Jonathan Hole as the manager. LOL. That's the darts sign from the Big Hands episode. The Pickers would buy that sign. LOL!
when they started doing the first season, they pulled the stories from the radio broadcast and adapted them for TV. As a true sin of concomitant, many of the extras also did the voices for the radio shows.
Dragnet was sponsored by Chesterfield cigarettes. Perhaps coincidentally, Chesterfield is also the name of a style of overstuffed couch, such as (I'm guessing) the couch the lady has the guys move around. Maybe a case of subliminal advertising?
@@dalehall7138 great observations. They did a lot of that back in the day. Though this was more obvious lol.

Yeah there was a young girl working at a convenience store that was robbed and she got fired because her boss felt she didn't do enough to stop it. At least she was alive to tell about it. He was only concerned about the $200 or so that was taken.
That was more like Vaudeville. Brilliant episode because the comedy actually WORKS. Good tongue and cheek episode but I'm glad he didn't do that every week.
Uhm, "Dragnet" was made with the cooperation of the LAPD and was based on real cases (but, the names were changed to protect the innocent). It WAS a weekly series that ran for something like ten years-actually 8 in the 50s, plus 4 more starting in '67. The dryness is what makes it a cult classic.
At the beginning of the Video Sgt. Friday states the date as Monday January 25th. At 13:17 into the video Lt. Spooner is pointing at a calendar that clearly shows January 25th is a Sunday. Not the first time this happens! 😀
The bank manager 1) Stupid - the bank security must be allowed to carry a 44; 2) blind as a bat - is color blind; 3) Very effeministic; and 4) Does not have managerial ability. The mean and evil cuss does not have respect for anyone and must be terminated immediately.

You know, Id like to laugh at that neighbor, as if she were simply a character. Problem is- she's spot on. She could have been pulled from a police bodycam video. Dragnet is the best.

How true ! Sad fact is that tobacco companies were some of TV 's biggest sponsors in the 50s & 60s and they insisted that the actors do a lot of smoking. :-(

This is the funniest one I've come across so far. I like that security guard was right and the obnoxious manager wasn't.
Mabel was a real treat.....Jack had such a great sense of humor....thanks for these memories
Manager was a prick bastard
And cops have to treasure those moments of humor.
Thanks......I listen to Dragnet RADIO shows daily. I know these episodes word for word. Nice to "see" the cast.
I have also saw every episode looking for a unviewed episode
When I listen to Dragnet Radio, I feel like I stepped back in time.
After all these yrs I still love Dragnet
Me too it's brilliant
Jonathan Hole, the bank manager, very prolific tv actor. Including 7 Dragnet Episodes.
