wow thanks again man, very kool i love Jack Webb he was AWESOME, and yea i think Pat Novack is awesome too👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽👼🏽🙏🏽, hope everything is well and everybody ya know are well and healthy 🤞🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
We lost Jack way too early, he was really cool. I love watching Dragnet and listening to it on the radio even. I'm not much of a radio listener but I listen to him.
Thank you soooo much for these programs! I enjoy old time radio and your channel is excellent 😊 I find that listening is preferable to watching most things and nothing compares to these gems of the past. Who needs TV when we all can enjoy a theatre of the mind.
I agree, they are great to listen to while at the office, doing housework, before a nap, or before sleeping for the night. Usually I keep them running and after a few episodes I fall asleep, the next night I start whereabouts I fell asleep.
Love these old shows produced before I was born. I listen while make deliveries. Helps to pass the time. The last show with the dead boy's grieving father' had me in tears. Kids with guns then and still now.
That and a few other episodes involving children are very, very sad. There aren’t too many of them and I’ve heard them all a couple times but can’t listen to them again
I'm always excited to hear Dragnet because most of the stories are from Los Angeles to San Bernardino where I grew up, during the time frame that my mother and uncles were children. I love Jack Web's precise voice, and the actor playing Ben (his partner), I recognize from many other radio programs like Diamond and I Love A Mystery.
@@andibowe6890I can just see the trams in the 1920's. My mom managed to raise me and my sister in gated communities. There aren't that many, but we went to public school, where fights broke out every other day, and you had to have your wits about you. My High School was rated top 5, most infested with gang members. I told my sister our school couldn't be that bad, so she began naming off gang members that we grew up with. We knew them at school but until we were teens my mother kept us in the gated communities. Unfortunately, I'm desensitized by gunfire, but managed to avoid getting into a gang, or becoming a criminal. I lived near LA until 6 years ago, and it's all about caution. Knowing what areas to avoid, keeping your head up and watchful, and not trusting anybody. I understand why people who come to LA to get into acting or social media, end up moving back home within a year.
It’s interesting to hear that this entire cast was used over and over again in various episodes. It’s also fascinating to know that Henry Morgan later when on to play Bill Gannon Sergeant Friday’s partner in the TV show. Thanks for sharing these. they are truly vintage radio.
"Rifle For Christmas" is THE saddest story. I've heard it twice and it's traumatizing! I can't imagine how the actors got through it. I absolutely love Jack Webb for the way he doesn't pull punches sometimes. The stories have a strong morality and deep compassion. I wasn't at all surprised when I discovered he also created my favourite show of the 70s, "Emergency".
Yes, it’s SO sad. There are some others that are very sad. I’m sure I’ve listened to all episodes a couple times, but there’s a few I can’t listen to again including the Rifle for Christmas.
To bad Ben Alexander didn’t play one of the pawn shop guys. That would have made it the only episode Jack Webb acted with all three of his main partners.
The Jack Webb show. Does the narration and has most of the dialog. The other actors must have been grateful to get a word in sideways! Oh well, I enjoy these programs anyhoo.
It would have been nice to hear a list of the actors, not sure but it sounded like Raymond Burr and Harry Morgan were in a few of the segments. Harry Morgan was great as Joe Friday's partner in the TV series.
It was Raymond Burr and Harry Morgan. Also heard Tim Donnelly and Peggy Webber and William Boyett in a couple episodes, too. And Olan Soule in a few episodes.
Raymond Burr was great in the short lived Fort Laramie a well written show. Howard McNear played Pliney the sutler, McNear was Floyd the barber in Mayberry and suffered a stroke and Andy Griffith insisted he was kept on the show and he was always shown propped up in his barber chair
McNear's voice can be heard in a lot of the old radio shows, his voice is so recognizable. He was Doc on the Gunsmoke radio show, Chester was played by Parley Baer who was also on The Andy Griffith Show as Mayor Stoner.
A lot of Harry Morgan cameos... One episode had Harry Morgan playing a hotel clerk ,and on of the bad guys name was named Frank Gannon ,a name Harry would take on the TV version...
P.S. if this were actual police work, Ben as the senior partner would be the one saying " come on, let's go" or " you take the back door, Joe" etc. But when you're the producer, you get to make the rules.
so... ya CAN'T roast marshmallows or ANYTHING on this background hay🤷🏽♂??? i mean it's sad that it took until 3:36 to realize🤦🏽♂... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wouldn't be able to do any more,all these detective shows involve lots of mention of cigarettes.its just the culture of that era.smoking was just a part of everyday life in those times.i despise the smell and as a young child it seemed that every adult would light one up,doctors ,nurses any restaurant even in the grocery store .no place to avoid it.i was very glad when smoking was banned in most every public space.nkthing better than to go to a restaurant and not have my meal ruined by that awful stench permeating the building
Those of us who can't stand cancer sticks r not influenced by those ads. I think they're funny. Gives u a chance to go get a drink or bathroom break without missing program too. 😆
wow thanks again man, very kool i love Jack Webb he was AWESOME, and yea i think Pat Novack is awesome too👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽👼🏽🙏🏽, hope everything is well and everybody ya know are well and healthy 🤞🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you, thank you and again I say, THANK YOU, for removing the cigarette ads.😂❤❤🎉🎉😅😊. We shouldn't be reminded of, or enticed toward, old habits.😮
Love Dragnet too. Awesome and kind of campy.
Can you imagine how many crimes went unsolved back then? Great channel, LOVE the fireplace!
A great series in both radio and tv. Jack Webb was also sensational in my other fav:

Most of the the stories? They ALL take place in LA.
For me, Raymond Burr was just about perfect in this in his commander role
Seen him in movies all my life grew up watching Perry Mason didn't know he was gay till the time he died
Harry Morgan played Walter in the first story. Didn’t sound like Morgan at first but at the end it definitely was Morgan
It’s interesting to hear that this entire cast was used over and over again in various episodes. It’s also fascinating to know that Henry Morgan later when on to play Bill Gannon Sergeant Friday’s partner in the TV show. Thanks for sharing these. they are truly vintage radio.
Thanks so much for making and sharing this audio, you're my new go to when I do my Fiber Art's!! Love it.
Thanks for tuning in!
@@HearthandHomeEntertainment My pleasure!!
That card game sounds like fizzbin 🖖😊
Just the facts!!
If only these harsh punishments were still imposed, this country wouldn't be nearly as f***ed up as it is right now.😒

Raymond Burr played Ed Backstran.
You are correct and in some Dennis Weaver before he became Chester Goode in TV Gunsmoke.
@@tomhallick419 yes Burr was in the first radio episodes in 1949.
It was Raymond Burr and Harry Morgan. Also heard Tim Donnelly and Peggy Webber and William Boyett in a couple episodes, too. And Olan Soule in a few episodes.
Raymond Burr also played Lt. Hellman on Pat Novak private eye with Jack Webb before Dragnet
Raymond Burr was great in the short lived Fort Laramie a well written show. Howard McNear played Pliney the sutler, McNear was Floyd the barber in Mayberry and suffered a stroke and Andy Griffith insisted he was kept on the show and he was always shown propped up in his barber chair

@giraffesareselfish9563 Parley Baer played bit part in movie Dave

ok I thought my ears were playing tricks on me!
It was actually Bill Gannon.
Ironically, Fatimas were the favorite smoke of Dashiell Hammet's favorite detective.
Ah yes, back in the day when California actually put that chamber in San Quentin to good use
👍👍👍👌😊✌
👍
horse meat i like it good idea
P.S. if this were actual police work, Ben as the senior partner would be the one saying " come on, let's go" or " you take the back door, Joe" etc. But when you're the producer, you get to make the rules.
Yeah, Joe always told Ben what to do and Ben always drove.
I assume Fatima cigarettes died as a brand because the listening public were fed up with their intrusive adverts? 🤣
Or their customers did.
so... ya CAN'T roast marshmallows or ANYTHING on this background hay🤷🏽♂??? i mean it's sad that it took until 3:36 to realize🤦🏽♂... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jack Webb was cop groupie and wished he were more of an actor. He kissed a lot of hind ends.
You tube should ban all dragnets with cigarette commercials.
Just Dragnet? What about all of the other classic radio shows? Not to mention the classic tv shows as well.
Certain types sure love to ban things. HOA types. Always wanting to control.
Wouldn't be able to do any more,all these detective shows involve lots of mention of cigarettes.its just the culture of that era.smoking was just a part of everyday life in those times.i despise the smell and as a young child it seemed that every adult would light one up,doctors ,nurses any restaurant even in the grocery store .no place to avoid it.i was very glad when smoking was banned in most every public space.nkthing better than to go to a restaurant and not have my meal ruined by that awful stench permeating the building
@@sooverit5529 some things should be stopped.normally I'm against government interference in anything but smoking was simply out of control
