@@victorvictor8587 From 1953 onward, Dragnet brought us to reality. Dragnet showed people who lived mundane, ordinary lives, what it was really like to be a cop, in as much as a television show was able to do so. If you want to detach from reality, I suggest perhaps watching Fantasy Island or Alf. Dragnet may not be the show for you.
For the creepy dummy I recommend DEAD OF NIGHT 1945, it is a British portmanteau horror film. It was the first evil dummy story. All the stories in it are good and so is the wraparound story.
@@ModMokkaMatti Gannon always loved to lecture Joe about something... as if Friday were a middle school student that failed everything "I'm surprised you didn't know that Joe"
Wow! Only 5 years for trying to have his wife killed and then planning to kill the man he thought he hired. How about life instead to give his wife peace for the rest of her life.
That instruction for Joe to park and wait 15 minutes before going in to "do the job"-- if Forester was out establishing an alibi, why the wait? Shouldn't that have tipped them all off that he (or someone in this with him) had to be around? Should Joe have asked him "why the wait if you'll be out?" on the phone?
When Anthony Eisley shows up in an episode, you know he's up to no good. At least twice in the series Jack Webb uses his real birth date (Apr 2nd) in this case on the made up ID (the year is off by five years) In another episode he also mentions it as being Apr 2nd.
This captain was a jerk. My least liked out of all of them. One episode Friday mentioned the case keeps him up at night and the captain says “they all do me” it’s like shut up you desk jokey
I'm not sure when they came out with ink that doesn't run (much) when wet but I think back then ink wasn't as stable, especially is someone spilled coffee or something on it. Also, pencil lead (graphite) never fades, but ink over time.
A beatnik, a cool old car, and a lot of hilariously terse dialogue.
Dragnet at it's best.
jack webb was a true all-round American legend
My brother and I watched this every Thursday Night at 9:30 I liked the way they identified themselves
Always one of my favorites for some reason.
This episode is very chilling, even more so when you realize it was based on a true story.
That's because these are real tragedies law enforcement face everyday. It makes you wonder how they come out still adjusted.
This show was made in 1968. The sculpture in the living room of the artist is an accurate representation of the coronavirus. Weird.
Good eye.
We come here to detach from the reality that has been created here today and you bring it right into Dragnet .

@@victorvictor8587 If you want to “escape reality”, watch the news, haha, or watch modern television. Don’t buy everything they sell you…

The sculpture looks like how they depict the coronavirus!
Today if a boss told his employee he could "lose a few pounds" he'd probably be fired. Lol.
Gannon loved his food. If he wasn't talking about money.. he was talking about food
@@Paul-tn3sc for real
@@Paul-tn3sc Or telling Joe his multitude of reasons for why he should get married. 🙄😕

Had a fixation on wall paper too!
Great shows in the sixties and seventies. Today's trash on television doesn't measure up.
Anthony Eisley always played a great bad guy. He also played a bartender/burglar and a bad apple police lieutenant.
"You could lose a few pounds."
Jesus Christ, Captain. If Bill needs to "lose a few" then we are ALL in serious trouble.
Could you imagine this Captain supervising Lennie Briscoe from Law and Order?
People were literally smaller back then!
Wow! Only 5 years for trying to have his wife killed and then planning to kill the man he thought he hired. How about life instead to give his wife peace for the rest of her life.
The irony is that she'll be dead from Cirrhosis of the liver before too long anyway.
FORRESTER: Steve Deal?
FRIDAY: That's right.
FORRESTER: You follow instructions pretty good.
FRIDAY: I need money pretty good.
Yeah, we know. We watched the episode.
Don Dubbins, who played Steve, was the racist in S1, Episode 2, "The Big Explosion". He also starred with Webb, as the young recruit, in The D.I.
Number 15
DRAGNET predicted the Coronavirus back in 1968!

It's funny because his most famous TV role was as the straight-shooting confidential investigator on "Hawaiian Eye".
@@RRaquello He did great work.
This is My Favorite Episode!!
And Gannon mentions in one episode that Friday is an Aries. Jack's b-day is 3 days before mine.
@@RRaquello I've got the Hawaiian Eye Soundtrack on Vinyl - some good jazz on it. Tony's on the cover.
Was the LA Happening a real paper?
According to my older sister yes it was
Steve looked high as hell
Joe "How far do you want me to go?"
Captain "ALL the way."
Joe "What if he wants to do gay stuff?"
Captain "ALL THE WAY, Joe."
Joe "Ya...Yassir..."

It seems that whenever this Captain character pops up in an episode he often makes comments that are rude and unprofessional.
He comes off as a jerk.
For real
No. The other captain cracked on Gannon as well.

The Captain is always busting on Gannon... his weight... coffee making skills...
For real
Interestingly enough Art Balinger and Harry Morgan were both born in 1915 and died in 2011.
Captain busted everything on Gannon, short of busting his cheeks... I wouldn't put that past him either lol
Bullying behavior
Maybe that's why Gannon never got promoted to Sergeant.
Idk, but I think he should have gotten longer.. he was about to kill someone, including his wife.. I wonder if she had to go into hiding after that.
A time capsule.
I sure miss the ol' phone books ☎️
They always use pencils
@Matt Altieri, it was cheap, eraseable, sharpened with a pocket knife, and it just worked even in the rain. Simple times are missed for sure now days.
I'm not sure when they came out with ink that doesn't run (much) when wet but I think back then ink wasn't as stable, especially is someone spilled coffee or something on it. Also, pencil lead (graphite) never fades, but ink over time.
