Ahaha, soo true. But back when this episode aired, it most likely would’ve been a type of Barbiturate, Meprobamate or Valium. Ludes were on the market when this aired, but their popularity didn’t hit mainstream until about 71-73.
@@tanmaz8006 yes it is still against federal law but when was the last time you heard of the DEA arresting anyone for weed? If they actually cared they could send agents across several states, raid several farms and hold a press conference with the first 10,000 pound bust. They could do that without investigating, without informants and without warrants. But they don't because nobody cares about weed anymore.
Dig Freddy the Loader. Why would they pick up a guy in a suite the tie on Ventura Blvd? Then later when he has a tie on while on acid in the 3rd st. tunnel. He sure doesn't look like a hippie and he rats out the Shiplies like it's nothing!

Wow. This was a really sad episode. I actually watched this because Tim Donnelly was in this one (Paul Shipley). Tim played Firefighter Chester B. "Chet" Kelly on the NBC TV show "Emergency" for 6 seasons (1972-77). Sadly, Tim passed away on September 17 from complications of surgery at the age of 77. RIP.🙏🏾
I'm surprised that they didn't have someone believe that they could fly! Kent McCord was playing one of the officers in the station. Remember Adam-12? P&L. Dan.
Kent McCord was in the pilot episode of the in color versions of Dragnet in 1966 and several other episodes and so was Tim Donnelly they were all pool actors from Universal Studios
Totally. That only "neurotics or psychotics" are the only people who become addicted, like addiction is due to some kind of character weakness rather than a biological predisposition. Yup, total BS.

Lecture about how bad 420 is while everyone puffs away on healthy cigarettes. Television was sure slow to clamp down on showing people smoking even though the first big Surgeon General's Report on Cigarettes was published to much fanfare in 1964! Oh and let's waste hours of valuable police time going out to "The Valley" (I thought the San Fernando Valley had their own police forces but maybe not in 1969!) to lecture a couple on the dangers and terror of Marijuana! Oh and if the little girl was drowning for so long and the bath water was running full force, why wasn't there more of a flood? One of the most ridiculous episodes yet but quite funny!
My parents were stoner and they always joked about this episode and we even watched it as a family a few times over the years and always had a good laugh at the depictions of stoner but always fealing sad for the baby
First off that was the biggest lid I'd ever seen, apparently I was getting ripped off in high school. Secondly, it seems people couldn't keep their mouths shut in the 60's. Why is everyone spilling their guts to the police? And finally, they were more stoned on lame 60's weed than I've ever gotten on the cream of the crop stuff we're buying today. And the dude was right, it will be available on the shelf just like alcohol. What a visionary.
1. You were definitely getting ripped off, and so was I in high school haha 2. It's a show about police, so they want to make it seem like everyone should tell the police everything and if you don't, a baby will die! lol 3. It's a show, so no they were not getting more stoned, they're just overacting haha. Today's weed is almost always more potent. There's a lot more strains and a lot more cultivators

These two were baby boomers, who were just doing what most people in their generation were doing. The husband went into the military, the wife went to college, and they got married immediately afterward. This kind of thing was expected back then. Young people in the late 60s weren't putting off marriage and parenthood until their 30s like a lot do now. In fact, a lot of people would get married and start families right after high school. It was societal pressure at the time to be married with a family, and a homeowner before the age of 30. Some Generation Xers, like the baby in this episode, did suffer as a result, because of parents who just weren't ready to raise a family.
haha in all seriousness though, that's proof that this was just a case of bad parenting. anyone who smoked weed back then knows it was never good enough to make you act that way. even today's potent weed shouldn't make you forget about your own child! I like this show, but this episode was propaganda
I watched the episode The Blue Man starring (Cookie Cookie would you lend me your comb?) Michael Baker. A sad movie. He died shortly after his 18th birthday with a drug overdose. His parents denied that he was addicted to the drug. 😭😭
Friday turns the water off in the middle of this horror. Even back in '68 water was an issue in LA. But he was wrong! Grass is 100% legal just like we always thought it would be some day. But I don't give a shit anymore.
One thing all drug addicts have in common, they all ate food, breathed air, and drank water before they became an addict. Food, air, and water - just say no!
@@douglasvancier7683I don't believe in the bs message they're sending that weed is such a bad drug that it makes people act this irresponsibly. That is just bs. This was a clear cut case of irresponsibility, and the weed shouldn't even be a part of the conversation. My parents smoked occasionally when I was a kid and I didn't even know it until I was older because they acted normally. If you act so irresponsibly that you drown your child, that can't be pinned on weed. Weed isn't like alcohol or other hard drugs where you lose a sense of time and basic functions.
@@bignuts850that was the point of bringing up legal drugs, Einstein. Tell me, which causes tens of thousands of deaths every year: alcohol or the "devil's lettuce" haha
The young family was completely correct, and those cops should have been doing something helpful for society Then at the end it's just a ludicrous situation making the cops look like they were right 😂
“The story you are about to see is true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent“ Perhaps this particular story is true, but it certainly is one of the more sensational examples of marijuana use being attributed to a death. I mean, this is a wild, crazy extreme example. Just watching the news recently there was an absolute idiot who left his sleeping kidd inside a hot car in the driveway of his own home while he went inside and played video games. They didn’t mention if he was high or drunk… He probably was neither drunk or high. But the tragedy, sadly occurred. Are they gonna outlaw video games now? These are horrific but absolutely extreme examples that are passed off in media as normal every day occurrences.
This, was the 3rd show that I've seen where a child dies. This, one in the bathroom, the other one where the father kills the little boy and where another kid shot his friend with a rifle.
Wow this particular episode was groundbreaking . I will never forget that ending scene and I was a pre teen . Both men are solid professional and stoic yet Partner Bill couldn’t handle it and had to go off screen to lose his lunch. Brilliant writing and Harry Morgan was superb in his reaction to this tragedy.. I don’t know what the awards or nominations were that year but this whole episode was Emmy worthy .
This episode like most dragnet episodes is so over the top ridiculous and stupid, It's impossible to be moved at the end. Especially since they used a volleyball under the towel to supposedly be the childs head. Dragnet, one of the great TV comedies of all time. Thank you Jack Webb. Most episodes are so full of ridiculous lies and mistrepresentaion of truth they are hilarious and priceless.
The ending is so awful😖. I can't believe neither of them got sentenced for the death of the baby. That's some fkd up shit right there. Probation it not a fair enough punishment 🤦
“The story you are about to see is true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent“ I wonder what the true story actually was that this episode was based on
No wonder why old folks have such a terrible view on pot, this is one the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen 😂 govt and media wanted people to hate it so much
I don't think I've ever seen anything from any era of television which has ever equaled the mounting tension and / or emotional gut-punch of the last four minutes of this episode.
With Paul Shipley on probation due to the death of Robin Shipley and Jean Shipley placed under the supervision of the DMH (State Department of Mental Hygiene) it is unknown if the Shipleys will face the judge for violating Section 11502 Health and Safety code State of California In that they have knowingly funished narcotics to minors. If they are tried and convicted they will face imprisoment in the state prision from 10 years to life.

This is the nation, the United States of America, Constitutional Republic, founded 1776. It's a nice place to live, well it used to be anyway. By the year 2023 marijuana was legal in many states, high THC concentrated marijuana too. Now half of America's population under 25 is using it and ready for the rubber room. That's where I come in, I drive the rubber truck.
Ah yes the good ol days when everyone was just hooked on alcohol and tobacco? Did you forget that marijuana was legal in the US until 1937? And just less than a decade earlier, our ancestors figured out prohibition of alcohol was a terrible idea which led to more crime and violence. Have you learned nothing from history?
I like how Joe Friday says he doesn't have time for a lecture, and then proceeds to lecture the guy, LOL.
I bet Shipley would BEG Sgt. Friday to lecture him for ALL ETERNITY if he thought it would bring his daughter back!!!

Love the way her bangs wiggle around.

I smoked a joint, the baby was cold, so i put it in the microwave
Lecture about how bad 420 is while everyone puffs away on healthy cigarettes. Television was sure slow to clamp down on showing people smoking even though the first big Surgeon General's Report on Cigarettes was published to much fanfare in 1964! Oh and let's waste hours of valuable police time going out to "The Valley" (I thought the San Fernando Valley had their own police forces but maybe not in 1969!) to lecture a couple on the dangers and terror of Marijuana! Oh and if the little girl was drowning for so long and the bath water was running full force, why wasn't there more of a flood? One of the most ridiculous episodes yet but quite funny!
I would rather be around people smoking cigarettes than dope. Dope stinks worse and makes people act stupid.
My parents were stoner and they always joked about this episode and we even watched it as a family a few times over the years and always had a good laugh at the depictions of stoner but always fealing sad for the baby
My Mum were stoner, two. She injected three marihuana a day, but not enough, did more and threw herself out of an airplane. Sad. 😩
All of the potheads in this comments section have ignored one thing; "The story you have just seen is true".
back in the 60s, in la, we called a bag of weed like that a lid. or just in la, a can.
Ice cream? Vanilla icecream.
"All we are sayyyiiinnnggg,.... ....
is give dope a channnnce....."
RIP, Tim Donnelly.
Why just prosecute the man? Doubtless the woman put the child into the bathrub and then wandered off and got stoned.
Because she was driven mad by her grief and sent to an institution!!
Back then, the system just worked that way.
First off that was the biggest lid I'd ever seen, apparently I was getting ripped off in high school. Secondly, it seems people couldn't keep their mouths shut in the 60's. Why is everyone spilling their guts to the police? And finally, they were more stoned on lame 60's weed than I've ever gotten on the cream of the crop stuff we're buying today. And the dude was right, it will be available on the shelf just like alcohol. What a visionary.
1. You were definitely getting ripped off, and so was I in high school haha
2. It's a show about police, so they want to make it seem like everyone should tell the police everything and if you don't, a baby will die! lol
3. It's a show, so no they were not getting more stoned, they're just overacting haha. Today's weed is almost always more potent. There's a lot more strains and a lot more cultivators
What would he say now that its legal LOL
... .... .. ' Jean Shipley - now confined at Camarillo State Hospital 🏥.. and undergoing treatment ' ... 😪. 😒. . ... 'Treatment'. ..for what ? ... The epilogue never makes it 100% clear what the hospital is 'treating' her for .. the drug use ... or her psychological implosion 🤯😭🤪😵 due to her idiocy causing her child 's heartbreaking death 😱💔💙🕯️🙏💦...🤧 what about the dopey husband ?!? Did he lose his mind too🤯 ?!? I would Love to know where these two actual persons are today...🤨 Was she incarcerated in this hospital for the rest of her life ? ..🤔. I always wondered about that .. 🤔.. just my humble opinion on this particular episode ... For most of the episodes of this version of the series , they got it right ..the earlier tv / radio series too .. but for this episode , it seemed like a variation / continuation on the 'Reefer Madness' variety themed scare tactics of the years past.. 🤔.. putting the death all on the contribution of the drug - and their misuse of it ... the carelessness and complacency of the parents is , or could be , considered as the main reason for the circumstances leading to the death - whether or not the drug was involved ... I'm willing to guess these dopes would have been non - compos - mentis 😴😴💤💤 just sober , not even considering after a few legal alcoholic beverages 🍷🍹🍸🥂🍻, the same stupidity would have manifest 🔎 regardless of the inebreiant🍷.😒😬😞🤢...As they are portrayed here , lack of parental skills is obvious to me .. selfish , self absorbed , immature fools ..not knowing enough to be properly effective as mature parents🤔 , rushed into having a child too quickly..🤨 just my humble opinion.. .

Guessing both.
These two were baby boomers, who were just doing what most people in their generation were doing. The husband went into the military, the wife went to college, and they got married immediately afterward. This kind of thing was expected back then. Young people in the late 60s weren't putting off marriage and parenthood until their 30s like a lot do now. In fact, a lot of people would get married and start families right after high school. It was societal pressure at the time to be married with a family, and a homeowner before the age of 30. Some Generation Xers, like the baby in this episode, did suffer as a result, because of parents who just weren't ready to raise a family.
You got the message of the episode, didn't you? So it didn't "go slightly askew".
Officer Bill Gannon adds a human touch; "My wife knows I don't like ketchup on my ham sandwich...."
0:29 I dont recall ever seeing any of those Happy Trip papers....OCB,TOP and ZigZags were the 'norm' where I live.......
Ridiculous reefer madness propaganda.
All I want to know is where did they get that Bomb A!! weed ! Make you leave your baby in the bathtub weed 40 % THC in 1968! Unheard of!
haha in all seriousness though, that's proof that this was just a case of bad parenting. anyone who smoked weed back then knows it was never good enough to make you act that way. even today's potent weed shouldn't make you forget about your own child! I like this show, but this episode was propaganda
I watched the episode The Blue Man starring (Cookie Cookie would you lend me your comb?) Michael Baker. A sad movie. He died shortly after his 18th birthday with a drug overdose. His parents denied that he was addicted to the drug. 😭😭
"
"Blue Boy". The actors' name was Michaels Burns.
REMEMBER KIDS DON'T SMOKE WEED!!! YOU COULD END UP BEING A BAD ACTOR AS WELL!!!
0:19 WOW!!! Someone already removed the stems and seed for me!!!!....THAT AINT HAPPENING!!!!!
Man that weed party was JUMPIN! So vibrant and lively.
Right? The tunes were far out! I don’t know how that pad fit all three people!
This episode turned my stomach!
As it should to any decent human being who has a conscience.
@@musicman201047 AMEN!
Friday turns the water off in the middle of this horror. Even back in '68 water was an issue in LA. But he was wrong! Grass is 100% legal just like we always thought it would be some day. But I don't give a shit anymore.
One thing all drug addicts have in common, they all ate food, breathed air, and drank water before they became an addict. Food, air, and water - just say no!
At about 00:35: Those are the shortest damn joints I've ever seen in my life. I expect more than that for my six bits!
Props 😜

11:30 - sample worthy
Very disturbing episode
love this show but don't believe this one for a second
why don't you believe it? it's based on a factual occurance. lol
@@douglasvancier7683I don't believe in the bs message they're sending that weed is such a bad drug that it makes people act this irresponsibly. That is just bs. This was a clear cut case of irresponsibility, and the weed shouldn't even be a part of the conversation. My parents smoked occasionally when I was a kid and I didn't even know it until I was older because they acted normally. If you act so irresponsibly that you drown your child, that can't be pinned on weed. Weed isn't like alcohol or other hard drugs where you lose a sense of time and basic functions.
This episode did not age well. Man were they ever misinformed about cannabis.. or what Friday calls the devil's lettuce.
A quart of vanilla ice cream. The secrets out. That and some devils lettuce.

@@bignuts850that was the point of bringing up legal drugs, Einstein. Tell me, which causes tens of thousands of deaths every year: alcohol or the "devil's lettuce" haha
The laws have changed since this episode was originally aired.
Well you don’t say…
The young family was completely correct, and those cops should have been doing something helpful for society
Then at the end it's just a ludicrous situation making the cops look like they were right 😂
Wow, and weed is now totally legal in California.
And New York now!
The intelligent state!
Yeah and look at what, happened to the place while everybody was busy getting high.
New York is a different story it was always a shithole!!!!
And a third world sinkhole because of it.
Yes, sadly that couple was predicting the future. It just took longer than a couple of years!
Can't locate your baby? Check the bathtub.
19:33 I see 3 joints and 0 roaches.
And the moral is................... don’t eat Gannon’s barbecue sauce
Unless you get stoned first....
Sure -cure for weed addiction!
4 joints for $2!!! My god I wish I lived back then.
All 4 joints combined, 3% thc. They should've been free
dirt weed back then. the stuff we have now is on another level
$2 in 1968 is the equivalent buying power of $18 today.
Which was 2 hours pay! Now how much can you get for 2 hours pay?
@@billlebeau2693 that’s about one hour minimum wage here in NY but still true. Cost of living is higher here.
“The story you are about to see is true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent“
Perhaps this particular story is true, but it certainly is one of the more sensational examples of marijuana use being attributed to a death. I mean, this is a wild, crazy extreme example.
Just watching the news recently there was an absolute idiot who left his sleeping kidd inside a hot car in the driveway of his own home while he went inside and played video games. They didn’t mention if he was high or drunk… He probably was neither drunk or high. But the tragedy, sadly occurred. Are they gonna outlaw video games now? These are horrific but absolutely extreme examples that are passed off in media as normal every day occurrences.
Man, Joe squeezed the hell out of that bag at 23:19.
Can you blame him?
@@musicman201047 I suppose not.
Probably oregano.
@@musicman201047
He probably smoked
Some
He's usually so calm and in control, but when he gets pissed, HE GETS PISSED!!
This, was the 3rd show that I've seen where a child dies. This, one in the bathroom, the other one where the father kills the little boy and where another kid shot his friend with a rifle.
Wow this particular episode was groundbreaking . I will never forget that ending scene and I was a pre teen . Both men are solid professional and stoic yet Partner Bill couldn’t handle it and had to go off screen to lose his lunch. Brilliant writing and Harry Morgan was superb in his reaction to this tragedy.. I don’t know what the awards or nominations were that year but this whole episode was Emmy worthy .
I'm about your age. This was an unforgettable one for me as well.
Mainly cause Bill had kids of his own so he could relate more to what just happened.
This episode like most dragnet episodes is so over the top ridiculous and stupid, It's impossible to be moved at the end. Especially since they used a volleyball under the towel to supposedly be the childs head. Dragnet, one of the great TV comedies of all time. Thank you Jack Webb. Most episodes are so full of ridiculous lies and mistrepresentaion of truth they are hilarious and priceless.
Pretty sure more time would be sentenced rather than probation and a mental health facility.
Sure, nowadays.
They actually thought cannabis affected people like meth back then, lol.
This is obviously overexaggerated anti-pot propaganda that looks goofy today, but man that ending scene is still brutal to watch
The ending is so awful😖. I can't believe neither of them got sentenced for the death of the baby. That's some fkd up shit right there. Probation it not a fair enough punishment 🤦
“The story you are about to see is true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent“
I wonder what the true story actually was that this episode was based on
No wonder why old folks have such a terrible view on pot, this is one the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen 😂 govt and media wanted people to hate it so much
I don't think I've ever seen anything from any era of television which has ever equaled the mounting tension and / or emotional gut-punch of the last four minutes of this episode.
Freddy the Loader total sell out rat. I grew up in the 70's and no one would rat anyone out like that, hilarious.
I smoked a joint, the baby was cold, so i put it in the microwave

If they are tried and convicted they will face imprisoment in the state prision from 10 years to life.

why are pot smokers vilified?😮.
This is the nation, the United States of America, Constitutional Republic, founded 1776. It's a nice place to live, well it used to be anyway. By the year 2023 marijuana was legal in many states, high THC concentrated marijuana too. Now half of America's population under 25 is using it and ready for the rubber room. That's where I come in, I drive the rubber truck.
*cue music... duhh duh nuh duh!
My wife and I cracked up at your comment! 🤣
Ah yes the good ol days when everyone was just hooked on alcohol and tobacco? Did you forget that marijuana was legal in the US until 1937? And just less than a decade earlier, our ancestors figured out prohibition of alcohol was a terrible idea which led to more crime and violence. Have you learned nothing from history?
"Reefer Madness, 1970."
This is some reefer madness shit right here!
