The first detective on the scene played the guy accused of killing his wife in the first season episode, The Big Casing. If you haven't seen The Big Casing, you have a treat in store. Also, it's amazing how exciting a radio report of the chase of the bad guy is at the end of this episode and Frank's notations on the street map heighten the suspense. For realism and suspense, Dragnet has no equal. Thanks Film Detective for having such good taste.
Jack Webb was a lover of jazz...makes sense it wasn't a swing tune on the jukebox but a jazz tune. Damn those Fatima and Chesterfields he smoked to satisfy the sponsors.
Hah. Right!? All I remember from high school Spanish is how to read Spanish. Not that I remember the language. I know some words from hispanic friends over the years, but my big take away from HS Spanish is pronunciation for reading it. 😊

Hi Everyone, Love these old shows of Dragnet. Tryed too never miss this TV show. I am 78 years old. This was the good ol' days. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
This was the golden age for TV, by the eighties it was pretty much done. There were a few like the later Columbo's and a couple others, but nothing like the 50's through 70's.
Excellent episode: at first, they didn't get the right man, shows that cops aren't always right; Friday shows some compassion when dealing with the crying widow; they break out in sweat was the chase unfolds.
@@teriannebeauchamp254 I noticed him immediately. His voice sounds the same with the same accept as when he did McLeod. When I heard his voice I looked closer. he was young in 1954
Very impressive Frank! It sounds like the pace is good and grammar is correct. I took five years of high school/college French and can't speak that fluently or understand to explain the conversation.
In so many of these, Webb starts with: "it was cold in Los Angeles". Yet I don't remember him wearing so much as a trenchcoat. Ever. "Cold" meant low 60s.
If they are going to sweat that much over a chase, the station should be air conditioned. :) I have to say, they got as much drama out of drawing on a map as humanly possible.
Joe Remus They had also put in several months tracking the guy down and were personally involved in identifying him. They wanted to see the guy taken down.
I still am impressed all these years later. Jack Webb was a genius at this. Because of Jack Webb, we have Law and Order SVU, and all the other detective series now.

Ya gotta love the execution by lethal gas of the murderer. Simpler, safer and more righteous days. Great tension as the guys wait for the unit to report back in.
High School Spanish From The 1930's And 1940's !! Try Taking A GRAMMER School Exam From The 1700's and 1800's and early 1900's ; You Will Be AMAZED ; I WAS EMBARRASSED When I DID IT !!! I FAILED , Unable To Answer MOST OF THE QUESTIONS !!!
Ever see Pete Kelly's Blues (Jack Webb, Janet Leigh, Edmond O'Brien, Martin Miller, Lee Marvin, Andy Devine, and Peggy Lee)? Webb used that name for a detective radio show - there really was a jazz band called Pete Kelly's Band.
At about 20:24, during the pursuit did anyone notice they sent unit 1-A-1-2 to block 3rd St. and Alvarado? This was before they started using the phonetic names for the call signs of the units. This was 1954. Now why would Dragnet send out 1-ADAM-12???? ;-)
Actually, Webb intentionally threw in a number of procedural and pronunciation inaccuracies in his shows, to show up fakers. Not using phonetics was a common one, another using "White male American" for "WMA" (White male adult).
Paper maps were free at many gas stations, etc. back then. Glove boxes always had at least one! I still remember the last time I used an atlas - summer 1982 - still got lost in Scranton!
I still don’t understand why people are almost traumatized about this! I grew up with both parents smoking (I’m a 1947 boomer!) - I hated it then and still do - never smoked in my life, did inhale once though!!!
@sandybruce9092 They're triggered over smoking a cigarette but ok with smoking dope... my grandparents smoking since 13 y/o died in their late 80s I smoke and love it.
What strikes me about the Dragnet series is that must have been easy to produce. Much of the series is narration and stock footage. The scenes involving actors are simple. Nothing fancy.
Standing around sweating! Can't even begin to imagine ANYONE on the LA Police force even paying attention let alone sweating! LOL Now the killer would have had EVERY advocate working for his release let alone putting him to death!
Friday and Smith really got around, one week they were working burglary, then next week homicide, then the following week juvenile and on and on , never working two department on consecutive weeks.
Okay but, now that they have the guys name, how does a guy sit at a bar for 3 hours and not leave prints on the bar that weren't wiped off. They did the dishes before he left. The glass possibly but the bar right in front of him completely? He would not just sit there
I guess you just slide the red ball to the end and slide it back and … no Commercials . It worked on the last one I watched . 👍🏼Circumvent the situation 😎
I watched Dragnet and The Naked City as a kid. I thought I'd enjoy going back to watch again. Were they bad, or what? The acting was so stereotyped and nobody was more wooden than Jack Webb. It's almost fun watching just to realize what we, apparently, enjoyed back then.
Why didn't they check the fingerprints on the dimes in the jukebox? Why didn't they tell all bar owners to notify police when any loner repeatedly played that particular song? C'mon Joe and Frank, basic stuff here.

Waiting for 'the big waste of time' episode. But you would think they would have asked for a description of the perps first if she was that badly hurt. Idiot trashed a perfectly good map with a grease pencil for what reason?
Why couldn’t they get a finger print off the joke box? Side kick had pretty good Spanish for just HS level and being out of school for some time. Haha. And how come they were sweating so listening to the broadcast? It not like they were doing anything? Haha
Haha, at least bring a Hispanic cop in to interpret instead of the Spanish speaking high school detective joke. He speaks and understands Spanish like he’s a grad student. 😂

The sincerity of the acting is positively heartwarming.
It’s so bad.
Early appearance of Dennis Weaver.

The song on the juke box by Art Hamilton Orchestra is the same man who wrote three songs for Webbs movie pete Kelly’s blues.
Smith got a lot more out of high school Spanish than I did.
Same here with French. I remember most of the profanity, and how to ask where the library is.

Dennis Weaver (8:16) before he became famous.
Marshal Sam McCloud. He was in the 1954 theatrical film Dragnet. He was captain Lohrman of homicide.
Good to see Chester found gainful employment after he got the hell out of Dodge.
Great episode .liked it very much .thanks for posting
Dennis Weaver as the ballistics expert.
Thanks for the i.d. I never would have noticed but since you noted it, I thought yep that's McLeod
Chester😃
@@teriannebeauchamp254 I noticed him immediately. His voice sounds the same with the same accept as when he did McLeod. When I heard his voice I looked closer. he was young in 1954
They should have cast Chuck Connors!!

Very impressive Frank! It sounds like the pace is good and grammar is correct. I took five years of high school/college French and can't speak that fluently or understand to explain the conversation.
@17:20 - Another rare case of an actual "dragnet" operation on dragnet.
Excellent Spanish by co star
Back in the day when the time between conviction and execution was measured in months, not decades.
Amazed they didn’t dust the jukebox buttons for prints.
My thoughts exactly 😮
In so many of these, Webb starts with: "it was cold in Los Angeles". Yet I don't remember him wearing so much as a trenchcoat. Ever. "Cold" meant low 60s.
Was that Dennis Weaver as the bullet lab man?
Sure was👍
He looked good at 30.

What about The Big Fart? Jack Webb really had a very creative and original mind for coming up with titles to each episode.
He would be investigating Wayne Newton. "What a gas!"

Jack was a jazz guy. You almost thought the jukebox was going to play "Cry Me A River," didn't you?
He was already divorced from Julie London by then. He did stay friendly with her. This would have a good promo for her song though.
The Funny tune is by the same composer, Art Hamilton (Stern), and also came from Pete Kelly’s Blues
Did the Stones get to meet Bobby Troup? Did he visit while they were in the studio in L.A.?

Skipper had his flunkie walk over and turn up the radio volume for him lol Skip was standing right frigging there. Wtf?
Every comment section on Dragnet videos: Oh my Godzess Reeeeeeeeeeee he's smoking a CIGARETTE!
I still don’t understand why people are almost traumatized about this! I grew up with both parents smoking (I’m a 1947 boomer!) - I hated it then and still do - never smoked in my life, did inhale once though!!!

How dramatic drawing on the map.

Don't they usually take the gun from the suspect before they bring him to the police station?

Did the skipper really just point at the volume button and make the dude get up to turn it up

No fingerprint from the jukebox?

I miss the old days when cops could use bennies to work 24/7.
