dragnet and adam 12!!! Love both of the shows, hooked like a fish! Thanks for finding this!

[denny906]

Dragnet is the best cop series ever made. I never get tired of this show.

[KdAnceful]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! for finging and uploading these vids.

I was hooked on Dragnet like people are hooked on Law and Order.

I like Law and Order but I'll take Dragnet anyday.

Thanks

[HaroldWillett]

After 28 minutes this movie will stop playing?FYI.

[grifftrain]

@HaroldWillett no whole thing plays for almost 54 minutes

[DrFeelRotten]

No..it's not his first appearance. Joe Friday originated on radio and was very popular before moving to first a feature film then to TV.. I've seen the movie, but can't find it now. Jack Webb kept total control over all of the Dragnet episodes from start to end

[Richard40171]

@DrFeelRotten Movie came out during the TV series. Webb advertises it after one such episode. I think it's at the tail end of a fine upload called THE BEST OF DRAGNET, inc 5 hours of Dragnet episodes. Webb advertises that it's in widescreen and color. But the movie, which I recall seeing as a child, is awful, though it has a good Webb quip to a criminal who boasts of having fancy cars and asks for an ashtray during interrogation: "You've got the Cadillac. Drive over and get it." Dum-de-dum-dum!

They don't make them like they used to! These were original, well written and good. Today's shows can't hold a candle to the old ones for entertainment.

[KingPuddinsdaddy001]

Joe Friday makes all cops look good

14:05 Now wait just t a minute here. Because 'they seemed nice enough' and paid cash in advance the building manager didn't even ask their names when he rented the office to them?

[RJBFIRECHIEF1]

@fmichaelb As long as their names were Washington,Lincoln, Jackson, who cares?? Money, not names pays bills.

@wpuette Was that flea male or female?

[cinerama62]

You should see Jack Webb in the movie, "The D.I."

[wardenphil]

Starting at 22:55, I wouldn't touch that "female" with a stolen one...

[Nationsnotregimes]

No savage's and the streets are clean and safe.

This is the very first episode of the classic crime series Dragnet witch starred the late great Jack Webb as SGT. Joe Friday the role he played from 1951-1956 & later reprise his role from 1967-1970. He will be be the true original Joe Friday in case anybody younger than me seen the silly 1987 comedy with Dan Aykroyd as Sgt. Friday. The original is absolutely the best show on TV. That's the facts friend.

[rorschach1911]

@yogafan6500 Actually the first TV episode is from 1951, titled "The Human Bomb" and featured Barton Yarborough as Friday's partner Sgt. Ben Romero. From the presence of Parker Center, we can assume the first episode shown here is from 1955 or later, when Parker Center (then called the Police Administration Building, or PAB) was built. The second episode shown here is from 1953.

[zeekwolfe]

These old shows are wonderful.

[48alfaone]

Jack Web learned to do this part from working old time radio as detective "Pat Novack for Hire". (Google, free old time radio shows). Check it out, its great stuff to listen to at bed time! Thanks for posting this video!

[hugepoirotfan]

@48alfaone: I agree. Jack Webb made OTR. He made an appearance once as Srgt Friday on the Bob Hope show. It was hilarious.

[48alfaone]

Ya, old Jack was a cool guy. With Bob Hope he would have been great all right! Pat Novack was a good show but not to many episodes out there? Thanks.
