Dragnet(1967).wmv

[fromthesidelines]

This is a closing theme that Webb used during the first two seasons of his "DRAGNET" revival (1967-'68), by Lyn Murray. For "DRAGNET 1969", he returned to Schumann's theme during the closing credits.

@fromthesidelines - I didn't know that! I like this ending theme better than the one by Schumann. I guess it just sounds like "Dragnet" to me.

[B17Boy]

I believe this song is called The Dragnet March -- by Walter Schumann. It does have that martial flair to it.

[MrMarksdaddy]

@B17Boy Actually it's called "The 1-K-80 March" If you recall "1-K-80" was the unit designation for the unmarked unit that Friday and his partner(s) used in both the 1950s and 1960s series. I got that information from Michael Hayde's book "My Name's Friday".

[B17Boy]

@MrMarksdaddy - Good to know!  Thanks!

[Aeolis7]

Great fanfare!

If you have to announce over a production company logo, let it be the cheesy Screen Gems "Siday" logo, AKA the "S" from Hell. Never, EVER, announce over the Mark VII Logo. Not even the "Golden" Logo of 1971-73.

[mratfauver]

@Banner4real035 Nah, the "S from Hell" is too short. Same with the "Golden" Mark VII logo. Besides, you have to remember that this logo, the "Hammer" Mark VII logo, actually scared a lot of people so, IMHO, putting an announcer over it softens the blow a little.

This show is BEAST

[luvthoseclips]

anyone spot the episode when "Tiny Tim" was playing the ukelele as Friday & Gannon walked into a bar to make an arrest? Tiny wasn't the focus on this particular show, but I thought that was rather bizarre. BTW, is that episode posted on here when Bill & Joe arrested that nazi?

[sexymama1966]

i gotta check that one out..on hulu:)

[emoviebuff87]

i love this theme of dragnet better. the trumpets really make it sound good. oh by the way, those hands are actually jack webb's hands.

[mratfauver]

@emoviebuff87 I love this theme, too! I'm surprised they only used it for the first two seasons.

[blockemall]

Wow, I remember watching this back in 2005! That was when Nick at Nite reached its 20th Anniversary. This was just before TV Land died and I stopped watching because of the new shows being added to the lineup. This was memorable but a painful memory since this would be the last time we would see Dragnet, and the other Mark VI greats on TV Land again.

Videotaped?

[ColumbiaPicturesFan]

My dad and I love this show!

[emoviebuff87]

[scatandpounce]

your nick at nite 20th anniversery?

[ma7799]

this theme was the best of the 4 seasons

[RichHartley1970]

This "upbeat" ending always made the outcome (which was always bitter and ended up with someone being killed) a little bit easier to take before going to bed at night--especially after the ending of "The Big High" and "The Hit and Run Driver," both of which were chilling as hell.

[narutofightindreamer]

This is my favorite ending to Dragnet. I've always appreciated good marching band music.

[volfire2]

The piece that was played during the closing credits of "Dragnet 1967" and "Dragnet 1968" (seasons one and two) was "The 1-K-80 March". By season three it was replaced by the more jazzed up "Dragnet March".

[lno2k6]

That's from the first Technicolor "Dragnet" tv episode called "The LSD Story".

[frankd1965]

Thad F. Brown was Chief William H.(Bill) Parkers sucessor after he passed away.

[rnigma]

In the Dragnet radio series, Thad Brown was portrayed as Joe Friday's boss.

[rnigma]

Lyn Murray composed a new closing theme for the '60s Dragnet - which still opened with the iconic Walter Schumann "dum de dum dum" theme (Schumann died in 1959).

[britfrenir]

I saw there is a production order too and Me Tv is airing it that way. It is on ever Saturday moring at 11 except last year a basket ball game was on. Now it is not airing the basket ball games. It is getting up to s3 now.

[britfrenir]

I meant that it is not the first episode in production order.

[fromthesidelines]

"John Randolph" was Webb himself {r.n. John Randolph Webb}; he wrote most of the original "DRAGNET" radio and TV scripts in the '50s under that name, and wrote this first episode of the "new" series, leaving the rest to others.

I uploaded Dragnet "1967" S2E1 - The Grenade

Check it out

[fatman50000]

This needs to be on a more regular basis than it is. I get into it whenever Sleuth airs it. Which isn't often.

Jack Web stamping his seal of approval.
