@@pendragonxt3674 I am sure you remember he also was in two other episodes, he was Cat Burglar Charles Augustus William Smith, and Fred Gregory who was swindled in The Bank Examiner.

I've always said that if I don't have my health then I'd just as soon not want to be here. Mustin had it all both in agility and in the mind. He is almost 85 here. Amazing !! One a cop is always a cop if on the job long enough. Mr Lampe literally solved the case.
LOVED this episode…..so happy am able to watch more episodes of this show…growing up in Jamaica in the 60s, I saw some of the episodes..we only had 1 TV station that came on air at 4pm n signed off at midnight…so u would get the odd episodes of USA’ s TV shows….this pandemic has afforded me the time to search , find n catch up on old shows ….so happy I lived to enjoy new technology which affords easy access to the ‘oldies but goodies’….thanks Ros for ur efforts….also love seeing THE UNTOUCHABLES series…loved me some Elliot Ness….
June 25, 2021 South America Wow! 😮 By far the best episode I've seen. Burt Mustin always delivers. Whether it be on Carson or anywhere else, the man is pure talent. Hard to believe he started acting professionally in his late 60s. Thanks for posting!
Seen this episode around age 12 found girl tied up to be rather disturbing and to be shown at 4 in the afternoon in 1978 suprises me as tv was very conservative then
This episode, Blue Boy and Reiko Hashimoto; all true favorites. Hard to believe 50 plus years, I saw the first run of them, man I feel old! Burt Mustin was an inspiration then and now. I have 3 years on dvd when they came out; can watch them a thousand times. Thanks. Robb San
Friday: You keep yourself in pretty good shape don't you Mr. Lampe? Chief Lampe: You mean good enough to commit murder? 😎 The look on Friday's face after that was like "Jesus this fucking guy has an answer for everything."
That's not 12206 Yeoman Ave in Central Los Angeles, that's 4107 Los Feliz Boulevard by Griffith Park! lol I drive by that building on the way to work - it's still there.
I love this episode, how the old man just messes with them the whole time. Friday and Gannon look like asses here; they have such tunnel vision on suspects that it never occurred to them to say, "Are you former law enforcement or something?" which they certainly would if they were at a party and he were talking about investigative procedures and evidence analysis in such detail.
In fairness, early in the episode, Lampe confirmed that he was a lifelong reader of detective magazines, so Gannon thought that he was simply a crime buff. And Lampe had no memorabilia from his police career on his walls (because he was retired and wanted to live a quiet life). So Gannon had no indication that Lampe was retired law enforcement.
I wonder if “Old Man Calvin” was friends with “Alfred” from the 1960’s “Bat Man” TV show?! LOL!! 😂 Nothing beats this era of “Police” & “Detective” TV 📺 Show’s 😃
Every once in a while, a friend of mine will text me with something like: "You gotta roll the finger print boy!" and we'll laugh on that for a little while. See my other reply (buried in another reply here somewhere) to understand why.
Friday only showed him respect after Captain Brown showed up . Before that Joe thought he was the murderer. The Chief owned him in this episode. For every question Friday had Lampe had a one-liner for him. Friday: "Oh we'll remember" Lampe: "Remember that glass of water and those perfume bottles too!" 🤣🤣🤣 Friday should have apologized 😎
I think Joe and Bill were respectful to Mr (Chief) Lampey. The Chief was kinda playing a bit of a game with Joe and Bill. Sure he could have ID'd himself as a (retired) policeman right away but he looks like he was more interested in seeing if the "younger" detectives had any Moxie on the ball. Think about it this way, Chief Lampey (as a representative of ANY senior "tradesman") probably spent half of his time learning his promoted position and the other half teaching his prior rank to an underling. when we discover that "Hugh" (Captain Hugh Brown) was a neophite to Chief Lampey it all kind of clicks into place. I think Chief Lampey was pleased with Joe and Bill's work (and you just know that Hugh woulda caught an earful had they not been as well seasoned as they were). The fact that Joe and Bill invited Chief Lampey in for the "Big Bust" was just a way of acknowledging (and showing the ultimate respect to him) for what the chief represented to them. Even Joe's line after the chief told them THEY'd solved the case ("Did we?") further supports that thought. All in all, THIS was one of the better episodes, not so much about solving a case but an acknowledgement about those who mentor us (regardless of the "trade").
Obviously, Burt Mustin (85 at the time) stole the show, however, no one ever commits on one of the best props ever used in Dragnet. That female corps prop is outstanding! It looks like an actual dead body; about the ONLY clue of "trickery" can be seen @ 5:02. That bend in the "knee latex" looks just a bit too rubbery.
@@james-p There's simply no way any human could remain tied up, for that long without moving. To shoot that scene took at least a few hours.... you'll notice there's ZERO movement of anything: The body, the legs, the rope, eye lids, etc... No human could remain THAT still for THAT long. "Prop detail" can certainly be very realistic. Ever see a wax museum?
Impossible and 2 minutes ago I picked whatever you because I want to enjoy one football game plan and Sacrifice for what you know college roommate name is and thank you for letting Homicide SFPD thank you because important part, really when can you stop this as soon as you tell the truth 😢😢
That guy said "make book" on it - which I hadn't heard - but I was like - "OK, prob like a bookie," then forgot. Then the very next day on CHiPs they were like, blah blah "make book on it." I'm just saying I never heard that but everybody is making book on everything throughout time
Hey Friday what day is it? Tuesday! Ok thanx Friday I'll cu on Saturday, Friday oh I'm going out with Tuesday, who? Tuesday Weld u never heard of her? No Friday i havnt! Oh ok anyway tell Tuesday to tell Friday we're all going out to c Wednesday off The Munsters!! Oh shit my days are fucked up I'm going on holiday!! When u going? Erm well deffo not Tuesday Wednesday or Friday that's for fuckin sure!!!!!
Too horrible..i liked Dragnet but ..no forgot it waa so sad & violent ....dont even cover her ....this is not entertaining to me ... Even though really liked these actors...great respect
I could watch this one a hundred times and it would never get old. Old Calvin stole every scene.
He was probably solving cases longer than Friday and Gannon have been alive put together. At least half
Burt Mustin was a class act in everything he did. I loved him as old man Quigley on All in the Family
very old
I saw this as a kid, and never forgot "a print you could get a ridge count from."
@@scootermann83also was the old fireman on Leave It to Beaver
This was one of my favorite Dragnet episodes.

I don't think I had seen this before. It is a very good episode, and one of the best I've seen.
One of the best episodes of Dragnet! Chief Lamby gave Friday and Gannon a lesson of police detective investigation!
one of the best episodes.
Chief Lampe busting the balls of the print man.
Easy there Boy! 😎
Burt Mustin was freaking aces in this episode.
As usual
😂 He described his acting career as being
“ He went that a way Sheriff ! “
Great episode! Masterful performance by Bert Mustin!
I've always said that if I don't have my health then I'd just as soon not want to be here. Mustin had it all both in agility and in the mind. He is almost 85 here. Amazing !!
One a cop is always a cop if on the job long enough. Mr Lampe literally solved the case.
Loved watching Friday and Gannon get schooled 😛
Old school style at that
Burt Mustin really shines in this episode.
He shines in every show he's in and there's must be a 100.seen him on almost every show made in 60s and 70s but never seen him in any westerns.
He really did,didn't he?
Imdb says mustin was in several westerns. Gunsmoke, bonanza, alias smith and jones etc..
I just found out... he had a wife but no kids ever!
love those old cars
I loved that we got a lot of smiling from Friday in this episode too.
The best episode of the 1969 Dragnet !!!!! Burt Mustin was really the star of this show!!!!!!
LOVED this episode…..so happy am able to watch more episodes of this show…growing up in Jamaica in the 60s, I saw some of the episodes..we only had 1 TV station that came on air at 4pm n signed off at midnight…so u would get the odd episodes of USA’ s TV shows….this pandemic has afforded me the time to search , find n catch up on old shows ….so happy I lived to enjoy new technology which affords easy access to the ‘oldies but goodies’….thanks Ros for ur efforts….also love seeing THE UNTOUCHABLES series…loved me some Elliot Ness….
Burt Mustin was such a unique character. He didn't really hit big until his mid 70s
Partly because he didn't even start until after 65.
he steals every scene.
he was 85 when he did this episode
One of my favorite Dragnet episodes....Burt Mustin was great in this Episode has the old wily detective Calvin Lambert from Chicago.....
At 19:01; Love the way Chief Lampe gives the "OK" sign to Friday, Gannon, and Capt. Brown!
Burt Mustin, a fine actor. RIP.

A classic episode old dogs teaching young bucks a few tricks
One of my favorite shows, love the style ,cars, all of it' i grew up with all of it, my kind of time.
Rogers, Arkansas! I’m from Little Rock!
The only accurate show about Police Work. Ever.
And also in many episodes a lesson on how truth is stranger than fiction.
Lotsa cops also say "Barney Miller".
Highway patrol
@@27839 Love that show too.
Adam 12.
Burt Mustin was great in this Episode...my favorite episode
These are great. I used to watch this on nick at nite but I guess I haven't seen them all
I forgot this came on Nick at Nite!
This was masterfully done.
The bondage stills at 1:18, 1:28, 2:50, 3:18, 3:42, and 5:02 are all eerily reminiscent of those 1950s-era detective magazine covers.
Seen this episode around age 12 found girl tied up to be rather disturbing and to be shown at 4 in the afternoon in 1978 suprises me as tv was very conservative then
Don't think it was meant to be sexy.
Very reminiscent of some Bettie Page photos from the early 1950’s!
Burt Muston always makes for a good show. My third favorite. I mean once you've seen Blue Boy...
This episode, Blue Boy and Reiko Hashimoto; all true favorites. Hard to believe 50 plus years, I saw the first run of them, man I feel old!

Looks like "Grandpa" had the case solved for them, way before Joe and Bill got there.
Dude probably can put Sherlock Holmes and Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, to shame. Poirot too.
One of my favorite episodes
Friday: You keep yourself in pretty good shape don't you Mr. Lampe?
Chief Lampe: You mean good enough to commit murder? 😎
The look on Friday's face after that was like "Jesus this fucking guy has an answer for everything."
He talks like a police officer. I would have guessed former FBI, maybe even chasing AL CAPONE.
Probably helped lock him up. He was certainly the right age
Maybe John Wilkes Booth too.
@@warrenhoffman2006
That's a little TOO early. Going by the date, the IRL events took place in either 1963 or 1968.
Or Benedict Arnold.
It was a very good episode

Burt Mustin looked old even back then
He was.
Burt mustin was actually around 80 years old in this episode not 91 he died at 92 though that's kinda crazy
Lampe is the police lol
A period piece for sure, staged, corny, and a bit down-right goofy, but 'ya know ..... I loved every second!
17:59 ha... that paper's blank.
Dragnet 1969 has a lot of "in-office" episodes.
Friday only showed him respect after Captain Brown showed up .
Before that Joe thought he was the murderer. The Chief owned him in this episode. For every question Friday had Lampe had a one-liner for him.
Friday: "Oh we'll remember"
Lampe: "Remember that glass of water and those perfume bottles too!" 🤣🤣🤣
Friday should have apologized 😎
Friday didn't apologize exactly, but said they'd all solved the case and invited him on the arrest so sort of apologized.
The chief was probably solving case longer than Friday and Gannon have been alive combined
It was after Friday saw the report mentioning the guy was a detective.
I think Joe and Bill were respectful to Mr (Chief) Lampey. The Chief was kinda playing a bit of a game with Joe and Bill. Sure he could have ID'd himself as a (retired) policeman right away but he looks like he was more interested in seeing if the "younger" detectives had any Moxie on the ball.

All in all, THIS was one of the better episodes, not so much about solving a case but an acknowledgement about those who mentor us (regardless of the "trade").
Police basically never apologize. If they drop charges they consider that an apology.
The good old days when right was right.
Ditto on "Calvin" (Burt Mustin) this was his episode 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐
Does this show older venice footage?
Obviously, Burt Mustin (85 at the time) stole the show, however, no one ever commits on one of the best props ever used in Dragnet.
That female corps prop is outstanding! It looks like an actual dead body; about the ONLY clue of "trickery" can be seen @ 5:02. That bend in the "knee latex" looks just a bit too rubbery.
I dunno, the shoulder blades look pretty realistic - I don't know that a prop would have that detail.
