The actress playing Friday’s mom is one of Webb’s most reliable regulars, Peggy Webber. She did the radio shows, the 1950’s version and the 1960’s version. She’s still with us at age 97!!

I always enjoy these episodes with Joseph and his Mother. SPOILER ALERT: It's sad to me that they just stopping writing for her character, especially after Burton Yarbrough, Ben Romero, died.
Never changed…. tho dating was hinted at lol. Remember though- when the radio show began, Friday was in his 20s. Adults matured much much faster way back then…. While people were called elderly when they reached 50! 😳😂
The system wasn't as fucking stupid it seems back then. At least as far as traffic law. Nowadays, it seems we just want to warehouse everyone away for decades and decades. I can't find anything on the case through Google. The records may have been expunged. Can't really confirm or deny this actually happened and I'm not 100% sure about trusting an entertainment program as to its authenticity.
I myself enjoy the old commercials, just be thankful the show wasn't sponsored by Kent cigarettes which had pure asbestos filters when I was a boy in the 50s.
Thank you
thanks for posting these great shows.

She was only in her 30's too, sounded much older, what a fine actress
Anyone know how to get a hold of her? I’d love to talk to her about her work and feature her on an upcoming live stream.
How or why would anyone score a "thumbs down" for a Dragnet radio show? Get a life!
bartbutkis I agree 👍🏼
Agree. Love these old shows

The thumbs down are most likely from whacko with a degree in gender studies who thinks this radio serial is racist or lacks diversity .

I wonder who did the voice of Ma?
@@Krana-rt2yy Miss Peggy Webber.
When in doubt it's her! So versatile.
Romero dies?!?! Spoiler alert 🚨
@@BrianBoudreau12 Yes, I thought everyone already knew that he died shortly after the show started its TV run. Very sad.
June 21,1951
....”looks like a ‘34 Ford to me”...then Friday sees a ‘39 Dodge.. oops
Nevertheless, radio Dragnet episodes are the best 👍
Kid was driving his father’s car (the ‘39 Dodge) while hiding his own ‘34 Ford in the garage.
Only 1 year of jail time!
Did Joe always live with his mom? During the course of the series was it ever mentioned that changed? Just curious.

@TeresaS Joe moved into an apartment on his own sometime after the TV show began.
His mother moved out in with her sister Joe's aunt
If the names have been changed, what is the real name of the best long cigarettes?
Pall Mall
One year in jail for murdering two people? Well, it shows that even back then the justice system didn't really value human life.
1 year? that's it?
Ya ... seems a little light ... regardless.. he will never forget it

Jack Webb is A Savage!!!
Wanda, why do you hate the police?
Why didn’t Provost just start working on the car?
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 🚬💀
Love hearing the episodes. Just can’t stand the Fatima commercials.

Why not? They’re quality cigarettes!
@@YowzaBowzaWowza It's wise to smoke them because they're extra mild. 😄
All the doctors smoked them back then!
@@michaelledford4751 It's got what smokers crave! It's got asbestos!
Love these episodes, just wondering if California has always been light on killing?
