@@SuperIliad thanks for that info. I really wish they’d remaster this series and put it on DVD but I doubt it’ll ever happen as they figure fewer and fewer people are alive who want to watch a show from the 1950s. Sadly, that’s how the companies think now.
@@bobtis Totally disagree, they are really cool but the production is not nearly as good. The movie they did though in that era is fantastic and very similar to the quality of the 67-70 series.

The culture of my parents' generation. Watching this show and shows like Perry Mason, The Honeymooners, etc., is an education on the post-war gen, their entertainment, and the cultural interplay of the times...fascinating stuff. Truly a different world now in such a relatively short time.

Lol....I agree. Ugh.....females aren't women, any more. They haven't been women or ladies for decades. I am a true woman, and ashamed of females of today. Disgusting.
Notice how the first witness was so rude and the second so helpful. I like how they switched it up like that, shows that police have to deal with all types and kinds.
@SafetySpooon yes this TV show is about what police officer should aspire to be like. But the reality is that police officers have been beating citizens since the 1800s. During the Great Depression the police would beat people and not arrest them to move the people on down the road. And in this very time period, police officers across the Nation were beading, setting dogs on, and killing minorities. Things only started to change when Network TV cameras started catching them in the act. And then they changed much faster starting in 2000 after the Advent of ubiquitous cameras everywhere catching them in the act. And I say this as a person who donates to the police officer survivors fund. All across the nation, police officers have frequently served the wealthy and the powerful. And that includes selective enforcement of the law and selective prosecution.
Welcome to America dear. We wives are usually at the lower end of the " to do " list.... that's why men who show care are called names. By the "macho" ones😁👍🇺🇲
The cautions were always there but Miranda forced police to tell the suspects their rights. I have read Nero Wolfe before Miranda and Archie stood mute and waited for their lawyer if he was arrested.
In one of the Sherlock Holmes novels written in the 1890s (no typo) the detective uses the *exact same words * as the Miranda warning to tell the suspect his rights.
Kelvin Torrence yeah. Sure. It wouldn’t be the person had the gun or the drugs on them before they were arrested. The young people in this country don’t want to follow rules or laws and have no respect or manners. It’s everybody else’s fault and not the person being arrested
randall2020 so you just generalized all cops from the LAPD? Yes corruption has been around and continues to be around but there was more respect for the law . With bad cops and people not caring who they hurt in their crime sprees things are worse.
The weirdest thing is that I just listened to the audio version of this on old time radio a day or two ago. I recognize the part where she was saying she "likes to munch"
Dragnet changed their tactic to address the increasing problem of drug addiction, and the violemt crimes druggies commit to support their addictions. It was a good idea...especially in Californication....they are nothing but stupid.
Never saw this in any of the other compilation dvd sets. Very few 1955-59 episodes have surfaced, it' s mostly the 1952-54s. FYI: $27 in 1955 is $254.06 today (Nov '19) some still don't take that much home in a week now. The dialogue in the interrogation is great & they don't write it like that anymore.

I suppose people did dress up to watch tv back then, just as they dressed up to take a flight. Unlike today when most people turn up for a flight looking like refugees!
I remember when Ronald Reagan was lying in State numerous people passing his casket were dressed up like they were going to go to McDonalds to order a quarter pounder. And yet in the 50s people would dressed in tie and hat to go to an amusement park!!
Jim Fink I should add, however, that you are correct about "MARK VII" It was a takeoff on the trademark of a Chinese movie production company who featured a sounding gong as their trademark,
Mr. Fink: Please see Wikipedia page below on Jack Webb's production company Mark VII Limited to read that the hands and arms shown at the end of each Dragnet show were in fact Mr. Webb's and not whoever you said they were. This was a well know fact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_VII_Limited
I get the feeling that the crime commited was worse then just robbery and assualt. Some of these shows tone down certain aspects of the actual crime to make it more accessaible to the audience at the time.
Oh wow! Look how young Joe Friday is! I thought I had seen almost all of the Dragnet shows but I've not seen these where Friday's so young. (and skinny!) It's just not the same without Detective Bill Gannon though. I love Harry Morgan! That first woman they were asking questions to was something else huh lol.

If they ran his sentences consecutively, that would be a lot of time. Robbery was probably 5 to 10 per count, and the assault with intent was probably similar. Determinate sentencing (fixed term) did not become law until the mid 1960's
Seriously, yes they were the hands and arms of the series star Jack Webb. He believed that the number 7 was his lucky number. That's why his production company was named "Mark VII Limited" and his badge number began with the number seven.
