Thank you so much for posting these. I listen daily on my early morning walks. They are soo soothing and entertaining. They bring to life another world... the 1950s. And with such amazing imagery. Jack Webb was a master of his field and way ahead of his time.
No, Old Golds another great smoke! Everyone I know that's smoked are dead or have Emphysema. Lost my wife to lung cancer, Marlboro's and Century Lite 100's for 40yrs.
Some words, yeah, I had family born and raised in the City and I remember that the older ones did have an accent closer to the east coast than to the one from where I'm from (San Diego)
Smoke! Smoke! smoke! Buy Chesterfields king size for a smooth puff, scientifically proven to not have “adverse”effects in six months. But at 7 months… hooked for life.

Did the people in San Francisco talk like they're from the Bronx or something? O_o

Lots of people from the New York area moved out there.
Suspect must have gotten caught in a rip tide.

These commercials would be funny if they are not so full of lies.
Not much different from these days.
To be fair, they didn't fully understand at the time.
Jack Webb is A Savage!!!
Wanda, why do you post this on all the Dragnet episodes here?
Knowing how hazardous smoking is to our health, it is almost criminal to hear these well-respected actors hawking cigarettes. I wonder if they knew?
They didn't know then what we know now.
Seventy years from now, the same question might be asked about a product that is common and accepted today.
Cigarettes and coffee were the only buzz available.. we all want that 😎
Cigarettes & Alcohol killed Jack Webb....I don't think He knew then...He was hooked by the time more was known...
@Cory Gill That was quite a Public Service Announcement he made.
I really try to skip through them
I really hate the cigarette adds, so gross
They really are, but that's how we get to understand the people of those times.
