Nov 18, 2008 - Hey, stop trashing "Dragnet." You have to remember it was a CHILD OF RADIO. Before television it was necessary to have strident dialogue and often stereotypical accents and characters so that people could "see" what was happening. Additionally, we owe a lot to Jack Webb for hiring radio actors to do television. That way we know what many looked like. NBC chided him for using "unknowns" that looked like "average people." He countered: "When a cop finds an 'ordinary person' isn't that the idea?

Nov 18, 2008 - No one is "trashing" Dragnet.You're preaching to the choir here.

Nov 18, 2008 - This is so great..^_^ I miss these old shows so much and I'm glad when I find them on DVD. Has anyone saw the Adam12 from the 1980's..I used to watch it too and it was very different from the old 1960's and 1970's ones and L.A.P.D. had the Red/Blue Federal signal Areodynics by then..No more soup can lights LOL.
