He sure did. He gave work to some to make sure they qualified for their pensions. He had a group of very talented character actors . Virginia Gregg, Martin Milner Burt Mustin just to name a few .
Bill Huber uh... No., there's no 70's Dragnet, it was Dragnet 1967, 1968. They were a huge hit on Nick at Nite, which brought Jack and his animosity towards the 60's counter-culture to a whole new audience, from 'Blue Boy', and all the terrific lines, like 'you got nice eyes... for a cop (girl blows smoke in Jack's face, then Jack says) 'and I bet your mother had a loud bark'.' Ouch!
The music on the jukebox is no surprise...Jack Webb was an avid fan and collector of jazz and blues records, and before Dragnet also starred on radio in a drama called Pete Kelley's Blues.
Same here. When I listened to the old time radio episodes, I love it when they redo the episodes- The original 150 or so with Barton Yarbourogh, and then they redid them later with Ben Alexander. I have heard every radio episode, but LOVE the first black and white TV episodes. I am always looking for the unheard ones!
I remember that Carolyn Jones was in the 1953 version of The House of Wax in 3D with Vincent Price. She was one of the victims. Wish I could see it again!
Ben Alexander actually spoke fluent Spanish. In the Los Angeles and San Diego TV markets, he did commercials in English and Spanish for his successful Ford Motors auto dealership.
8:22 A very young Dennis Weaver (at age 30) as forensic scientist Russ Camp. A year later, Weaver would portray Chester Goode, Matt Dillon’s sidekick on “Gunsmoke” from 1955-64. Then six years later, his most famous role would be New Mexico Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the long-running NBC Mystery Movie series “McCloud” from 1970 to 1977 (The first season, consisting of hour-long episodes were part of the short-lived Four in One series).
@@steveprestegard5151Captain Lorman of homicide bureau. Dennis Weaver was about 40 years old at the time. The TV series McCloud was based on a 1968 Clint Eastwood movie Coogan's Bluff about a lawman from the Southwestern United States going to New York City to pick up a fugitive .
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Old fashioned gum shoe detective work-!!!😉. Enjoyed watching the old fashioned juke box in operation-!!!🤗. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024). 🌈🎉💵😉.
That was also true of 8th grade students. They could end formal education, if they could pass their exams, which had more in it that 4 years of college, today.
Actually, he was promoted to Lieutenant in the last episode of the 1950s series. When the show returned in 1967, he was back to being a sergeant because Lieutenants spend most of their time behind a desk, and that wouldn't fit the idea of the show.
Well done on this episode, could actually feel the tension of pursuit, sense of relief after announced suspect had been captured. Was that a very young Dennis Weaver as ballistics specialist?
The paralyzed guy appeared to be a detective in a previous episode. The captain in the show about the shooting of restaurants was in Seargeant York and Disneys Johnny Tremain as Paul Revere
“Blonde, tall, nice-looking, good figure…nothing out of the ordinary” - Been to Philly lately? 😂 Of course, if “she” turns out to be a “he”, situation normal…
The irony of the the episode of the big woman is that for a long time the military made a commercial as to why not to pick up somebody who looks like a female hitchhiker you see this tall shapely form with long blonde hair it's only when the car slows down play camera pulls in as if it's the person looking at what looks like a woman play whip their hair out of their face and you see it's a guy and then the narrator tells guys don't pick up a hitchhiker you never know what you're getting. Like I said the commercial above was specifically designed to be on military television in order to warn military guys not to pick up female looking hitchhikers or anyone else. In the commercial the commercial about that I mentioned came out in the 70s and I'm willing to bet that it was inspired by the episode of the big woman.
These are brilliant but you're just waiting for the Naked Gun Line. I would love to see some of the outtakes from these shows, do they still exist I wonder.
For the woman video part: Just for fun - idea passing for growing safety! A good example: The Bearded Bandit's (FBI RUclips Video) attempt to escape the Federal Building, is like getting help from the Security Guards that were FBI Agents allowed to be Security Agents?? Security guards do practice the power of suggestions - for at a distance influence, its ok, etc., and the lady friend's aggresssion to the end shows the Beard Bandit was getting Security Guard training of confidence to stand his ground. Plus like the tollway surrounding the city (Chicago) at its expected outer limits, is some of those people's dating range is knowing people to the south, west and just a maybe to the north ends passed the tollway something that is meant for truck drivers basically. Thus people getting use to gestures to maintain friendships after getting to know one another, allowing for a single person to be alone and yet feeling safe for a long time. {Who compete with FBI logic, the fugitive!}
The second story , , , the guy shoots a man and paralyzes him for life , , , yet the criminal spends a few years in prison , , , paroled , , , and lives his life out , , , some justice system , ,
As a 76 year old technologist, I thought it was interesting to see period appropriate ambulances, radio control heads, and data processing techhology. ( I wonder how the selected matching hollerith cards were restored to the database card deck?)
They don't ask her where she bought the gun or if she has a bill of sale for it? Because if she just bought it recently, then it could not have been used in crimes going back to before the gun was purchased.
The first show told about a murderer gettingthe death penalty. When I was growing up in The Great State of Texas - if A person murdered someone, Texas' Electric Chair, "Old Sparky" killed 'em back ! The Bible says,"if a person shed's man's blood by man shall their blood be shed". 😮
Story line for the second episode was progressive for its day - a woman caught in a legal loophole because she tried to defend herself against an abusive husband. Also, Friday tells her she can get a lawyer to explain what happens after she is charged and booked, but doesn't read her the Miranda rights because this was a decade before the Miranda case.
A 1950 Ford only had 100 HP on a good day. High speed must be 40 MPH considering the poor handling of a 50 Ford. LOL! The average 6 cyl. minivan in 2023 has about 275 HP and weighs about the same as 50 Ford.
Digitally enhanced? This is a blurred mess. Digital seems to be a magic word along with "remastered" for look out for the mess. Early enough to predate Jack Webb's using Dragnet for political propaganda.

No rest for Uncle Jack. He's currently chasing down the "Devil's Disciples😈.
All except himself. Jack Webb was a heavy smoker who died in 1982 at age 62.
I never saw the 50's episodes , I was a little kid . I. Am impressed . I always glued to the set with the 70'S dragnet .

U.N. Owen they had dragnet starting in 1966
@@UNOwen1they had 1969
But not 1970
That's when Webb did Adam 12
They were on the radio before TV as well.
Nice to see Weaver.Thanks for posting
He's really cute and young !!
we never had these shows in my part of Canada when I was growing up, great shows they are
I am in Canada, born 1967 and I cannot remember seeing any Dragnet shows on TV. But I did see "Emergency!" and "Adam-12".
The music on the jukebox is no surprise...Jack Webb was an avid fan and collector of jazz and blues records, and before Dragnet also starred on radio in a drama called Pete Kelley's Blues.
Ruth Presti all he wanted in his divorce from gorgeous Julie London - his jazz records.
wasn't that also a movie?
Julie London sung a mean" Fever"
This show still holds up. I love it, when I find an episode I haven't seen.

Me, too.
Thanks for airing Dragnet

Wish I could see it again!
High Schools in those days expected a lot more from their Foreign Language students than they do now.
Thank you for sharing Dragney episodes. I loved them, and still do.
Ben Alexander actually spoke fluent Spanish. In the Los Angeles and San Diego TV markets, he did commercials in English and Spanish for his successful Ford Motors auto dealership.
Good to know. I was going to mention that Frank's high school Spanish was much better than mine.
My Spanish was very awful .
I suspected he spoke much more than "high school Spanish" 😊.
He was also born and raised in Goldfield Nevada.

I must say, the voice-over sound fidelity is amazing for 1954. Undistinguishable from today.
Just much better in my opinion.
When Carolyn Jones Stood up, I was Suprised at how tall She is !!❤
She was only 5'5 1/2"
Ben Alexander stared in the movies in 1920s. A very long and distinguished career. A San Francisco radio star on KGO am fm.
A very young and good looking Carolyn Jones.🥰
Wow, DENNIS WEAVER (CHESTER, McCLOUD) in DRAGNET!!!
For someone who only speaks high school spanish he's pretty good.
Indubidubly 🙂
I took 6 years of the stuff and I couldn't hold a candle to how he was talking
@@Joeblow-ms3cv Indubitably? (You're not going to find words ending in 'ubly' in English, unless it's 'doubly.')
@@FigaroHey I think I spelled it wrong 😃
"Only" had high school Spanish? Do you think that high school teachers do not teach it right?
Such a Good show! I remember watching this when I was a kid. Thanks So much for uploading this.
Should have taken print from jukebox button instead of playing it, killer was last to touch that selection until Friday.😂
Very very good Columbo would be proud!
He pushed the button was something besides his finger , maybe a pen
Yes, John Murray, good point.
Friday pressed the button with a pencil so as not to disturb any fingerprint.
11:30 They bring in the suspect WITH the gun in his belt??? TOO FUNNY!
+John Kendricks: almost all episodes of Dragnet have 'big' in the title the title of this is The Big Woman - NOT 'large'.
So what?

1950s jukebox.... rad
Wurlitzer model 1400 1500 or so. Heaviest juke ever. Same basic design which soon were converted from 78 to the 45 rpm format.
10th. Grade Students in 1880 had to learn more History, Algebra, Calculus and Physics than most modern students learn in College now.
That was also true of 8th grade students. They could end formal education, if they could pass their exams, which had more in it that 4 years of college, today.
Yes, but there is FAR more material to cover in each of those topics today.
@@AnnacolleenEtters you go to college?
And where did you learn how to make your typos?
How about that fancy new computer!
Caroline Jones (Mortician Addams) in second episode as mistaken suspect
Rich Radka Ms Jones was a Dragnet semi-regular.
I’ve always had that badge number memorized because of a question card in Trivial Pursuit as a kid.
Since 1954 sergeant Friday has been a sergeant till he retired in the 1970s. I know that things are tough but why couldn't the man get a promotion?
He wasn’t very good at his job. Plus, he wasn’t married and didn’t have any vices. He was probably happy with a Sergeant’s salary.
Actually, he was promoted to Lieutenant in the last episode of the 1950s series. When the show returned in 1967, he was back to being a sergeant because Lieutenants spend most of their time behind a desk, and that wouldn't fit the idea of the show.
Maybe Sgt Friday did not apply for a higher rank?
You can actually trace the pursuit on Google Maps.
Dude must have been driving 200 mph. Ended up near Skid Row.
Frank and Joe sit awfully close together in that car.
This could have inspired Ed Wood to shoot Glenn or Glendora as a feature movie a couple of years later.
Glen or Glenda
Like!
Never knew Frank Smith was bilingual!
Well done on this episode, could actually feel the tension of pursuit, sense of relief after announced suspect had been captured. Was that a very young Dennis Weaver as ballistics specialist?
Yes. Dennis Weaver was mentioned at the end of that episode.
I don't understand why the woman guy wasn't charged with attempted murder on police officers!
And Carolyn Jones is playing the blonde with the concealed weapon...
This episode starring… the wax pencil!
Dennis Weaver... future star of McCloud
That's Chester Goode
Shouldnt they have dusted for prints the jute box before playing the song?
I had that thought too.
friday pushed the button with a pen
I seen a jukebox like that on American pickers.
This episode is, "Dragnet - 4x8 The Big Bar"
I was one yr old at the time this episode.was aired. But I used to watch tbis series in the 70's.
The paralyzed guy appeared to be a detective in a previous episode. The captain in the show about the shooting of restaurants was in Seargeant York and Disneys Johnny Tremain as Paul Revere
that was then, this is now.....my how things have changed .
Wow ! these guys really lay on the blood, i wonder if it was controversial?, a lot of shows back then wouldn't show a drop,
This is strange watching the old early seasons. Where I live it is strickly the last 2 years with Harry Morgan before MASH.

They don't ask her where she bought the gun or if she has a bill of sale for it? Because if she just bought it recently, then it could not have been used in crimes going back to before the gun was purchased.
Don't ever pull something off my clipboard while I'm looking at it.
Why doesn't anyone think of all the progress from then & now. How many other people have played after he did?
