You may recognize Sam Edwards from the 1966 Dragnet movie. While NBC produced the movie in 1966, it was not aired until 1969. The movie was so good that NBC decided not to air the movie and instead give Jack Webb the "go ahead" to do the entire 60's run of the show. During the 60's run, he used many of the original actors who appeared in the 1950's episodes.
It ran FIRST on radio (my God, let's not forget radio) in 1949 and continued through the 1957 season, while running concurrently on TV, with different episodes, starting in 1951.
The force used as depicted in this clip is reasonable force. The subject has assaulted the officer and the officer took rather mild steps to restrain him. He could be charged with assault on a peace officer for what is depicted here
yeah, but he's also violating the guy's Miranda rights. When he asked for the driver's license I would have said, "I'm not driving" and clammed back up. Back then, a driver's license wasn't a substitute for a national ID.
It's interesting how different the 50's Dragent & the 60's Dragnet were. Friday was this kickass cop in the 50's but in the 60's he just seemed to make a lot of speeches. Don't get me wrong, both shows were great.
That's Sam Edwards who would have been around 45 when this was filmed. Because of his young sounding voice, he often played teenagers on Dragnet radio shows even though he was well beyond his teenage years.
If you won't give us the answers, we'll find somebody who will. As soon as you get it through your head, you're not here on a traffic ticket, but better. You're gonna stay in that chair until we get ready to book you, I'm sick-a treating you like a baby.
The episode is called the BIG hate (1953) thIS GUY Gordon Ran away from home with his music teacher and she died of a heart attack brought on by Alcohol drinking in Gordon's arms. He was exonerated and commit suicide 18 months later. His family is to blame as well. Father didn't care for him.
and it's ironic that when NBC commissioned Jack Webb to do "Dragnet '67'," he originally wanted to bring back Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith, but he already tied down to ABC's "Felony Squad" so Webb had to reluctantly recast Officer Bill Gannon in Frank Smith's stead.
He coulda done worse than Harry Morgan. I always thought of Bill Gannon as the straight man or at least the not-as-tough-or-experienced partner of Friday's. But Gannon was also a smart cop, very intuitive, and Webb's perfect partner for the 60s run.
Morgan was in some of the early radio Dragnet episodes as well, as a "stock company" actor (once as Friday and Romero's division captain, a couple as someone who had info Friday and Romero needed)...he sounded old in 1949 as well!
Sam Edwards was also in the very first episode of Dragnet (The Human Bomb) in 1951. He shared the spotlight in the episode with yet another "stock company" player, Stacy Harris.
The actor in this clip is Sam Edwards. To my knowledge, he appeared in many episodes of Dragnet in the 1950's. In fact, he was featured in the pilot episode 1951. The episode was called "The Human Bomb" and he was featured along with Stacie Harris, who also did many episodes of the show.
Sam Edwards also did a number of radio shows in the last years of big time radio, (c. 1949-54) often as the silly "golly gee" boyfriend in sitcoms with a teen female lead. Also later in the low-budget movie "Beatniks" around 1958.
Impossible, this episode was from 1954 and your profile says that your 42 years old. You're probably thinking of the second incarnation of Dragnet which ran from 1967-1970.
FYI: The guy dated an older woman who died of alchohol related illness in his arms in a boxcar. His dad was a rich guy who neglected him. He killed himself a6 months fter he was released
@ohiofan1989 Among Webb's stock company - Edwards, Harris, Howard Culver, Olan Soule, Peggy Webber, Virginia Gregg, Herb Ellis, Harry Bartell, Herb Vigran, Dennis mcCarthy, Sarah Selby, Don Dubbins.
..the dialouge from the early Dragnet radio programs are great too.. makes u realize how moronic the writing for TV programs is today; wish they would stay on strike, they're already overpaid!
Okay did you forget to put in part where Friday gets rough? Now he does get rough in the child molester episode and in my opinion he should've beat the molester until he stopped breathing
It my opinion if your mother is an unconvicted suspect in a child molestation, she should not be beaten to death by our "sworn to up hold law" police officer. She and every person should be given due process and will in spite of Nazi worshipers like you.
Joe Friday is such a badass
Pre-MIranda. Glorious times as a detective.
Now that's what I call a "no-nonsense" Joe Friday!
Don't mess with Joe Friday.
Bingo! 👍😉

I think the suspect was on an early Andy Griffith show. I think it was one where his house was being forclosed and Andy helped him.
He played on several of the mayberry shows. He also played on Jack Webb's other two shows Adam-12 and Emergency.

I second that.
John Randolph Webb was one of television's noblemen.
The force used as depicted in this clip is reasonable force. The subject has assaulted the officer and the officer took rather mild steps to restrain him. He could be charged with assault on a peace officer for what is depicted here
In Philly or New York that guy'd be sippin' his dinner through a straw for a few months.
And should.

@@Hiraghm Except Miranda rights didn't exist until 1966. This is 54.

The 50s version seemed more like a film noir crime drama. The 60s version of more of a preachy procedural. Not saying both aren't equally as good
Is he calling that 45 year old man's parents???
"Now let me tell ya, young fella..." The guy looks like he's 40. So interesting how B&W filming and styles play tricks on me now.
Joe gave him a Stern Shaking, I'll bet that guy doesn't do that again !
That's Sam Edwards who would have been around 45 when this was filmed. Because of his young sounding voice, he often played teenagers on Dragnet radio shows even though he was well beyond his teenage years.
@@Joe_Okey yea, a very good character actor who was on many shows including many westerns.
@@JimAssalone so Friday was calling this guy's PARENTS?
"What's it all about", is a common line used on Dragnet, by both the police and citizens.
In Webb We Trust!
Pre-MIranda. The good old days.
He’s needs his safe space and a...oh wait, this was when we didn’t tolerate that bs. Answer the question kid!
yeah, kid, give up your Miranda rights and answer the question.
This clip is from the episode "The Big Hate." The original air date was February 12th, 1953.

He is 100 percent buisness
I was only two years old at the time of this show but I love the reruns.

Modern technology. One phone call and he got the cross reference number off an address. Wow.
Privacy wasn't a thing back then.
That's the most violent the L.A.P.D. ever gets.
Your kidding right they did way worse
Oh noes, they're interrogating Captain Kirk! Beam 'im up, Scotty, quick!
Sam Edwards was also in the very first episode of Dragnet (The Human Bomb) in 1951.
He shared the spotlight in the episode with yet another "stock company" player, Stacy Harris.

Yes. I remember him from the Andy Griffith Show. He was on that show pretty regularly.

He looks like he is in a wonderful mood Could work at the home depot.God i would love it
I take it back about Lee Marvin. Now I think it's Don Keefer.
See... your doing better already!
Cooperate with police or pay the price for not doing so. Leave Oceanside police alone.
Go Joe!
The suspect played Lester Scobey on The Andy Griffith Show. "Andy Forecloses" episode
@ohiofan1989 Wow. I had no idea Dragnet went back to 1953. Lucky TV. I wonder if all episodes are available on DVD.
yowzephyr They are. I have them.
Rough on criminals---as it should be.
Yep! you're right.
Impossible, this episode was from 1954 and your profile says that your 42 years old. You're probably thinking of the second incarnation of Dragnet which ran from 1967-1970.
The suspect is Sam Edwards, who was one of Webb's "stock company" players on "DRAGNET" for years...
"Young fella." Sam Edwards was five years older than Jack Webb.
If he wasn't an actor he coulda been an auctioneer.
I'm gonna push you...........
Gee. I've scene Joe get tougher than that.
That's Lee Marvin, isn't it?
NO SUCH THING AS EXCESSIVE FORCE
FYI: The guy dated an older woman who died of alchohol related illness in his arms in a boxcar. His dad was a rich guy who neglected him. He killed himself a6 months fter he was released
sgt Friday busted me for possesion of a marijuana cigerette in 1961 he was a hard ass
God Bless our Law Enforcement
@ohiofan1989 Among Webb's stock company - Edwards, Harris, Howard Culver, Olan Soule, Peggy Webber, Virginia Gregg, Herb Ellis, Harry Bartell, Herb Vigran, Dennis mcCarthy, Sarah Selby, Don Dubbins.
What a prick - He called the guy's Parents ? No wonder there was No crime 150 years ago when this was made.
must be pre-Miranda.
Who's the actor in the chair? He looks familiar.
..the dialouge from the early Dragnet radio programs are great too.. makes u realize how moronic the writing for TV programs is today; wish they would stay on strike, they're already overpaid!
That was "rough"?????
do you know the name of this episode?
does anybody know the name of the other actor in this clip...he looks familiar
owned
Okay did you forget to put in part where Friday gets rough? Now he does get rough in the child molester episode and in my opinion he should've beat the molester until he stopped breathing
It my opinion if your mother is an unconvicted suspect in a child molestation, she should not be beaten to death by our "sworn to up hold law" police officer. She and every person should be given due process and will in spite of Nazi worshipers like you.
@@genejenkins9902 Nazi worshippers...kinda like antifa?
that isn't shatner.
The episode was called the Big Hate
See, there you are. I've never seen CSI. I think they all are a bunch of jerks compared to some of the cop shows back in the 50s and 60s.
Hey, what episode is this from?
The proper suspects response is "I don't answer questions". And "I'm not resisting. ASSAULT, ASSAULT!".
What episode is this?
Jack Webb in great bio (All about Jeffrey Hunter) at amazon!
@BUNGLEJYME ahahhahahaa, yes
Oh, wait. You're serious? Eww.
Joe provoked him when he went to call his mommy.
1951
Looks like Joe Friday got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. No wonder he got into his bad side.
Handcuffing him to that chair like that just attached a potential weapon to his arm, not the brightest thing to do.
Back then it was a slim possibility. With today's jacked up crack head criminals, yes.

I can assure you it never rains that hard in L.A. They deluged those windows.

2055 Malcom Ave, L A Calif. is a real address, check Google
There's probably folks right now going to that address to ask this guy's parents what they know about their 45-year-old child.
