    14:44 I love Ben Alexander, the actor who played Frank Smith. He was so natural and relaxed in how he moved on the stage in character, in contrast to the others who have a sort of 1950s stiffness we're used to seeing in anything from this era. The way he plops his hat on the couch, and then later when he sits in the chair facing away and then turns it, are just hilarious.

    Thank you Film Detective. Thanks to people like you I don't have to watch the garbage that passes for TV programs today. I love these old shows. I wouldn't call them the good old days. We baby boomers were in the middle of the Viet Nam war. As I was growing up so many of the people would call the returning men baby killers and spit on them. It was a sad time for these men many of whom got drafted. Some left the country to Canada to avoid the draft. But, one of the great things were good TV shows. Thank you for sharing. Ms Michal 🙃☕

    Years ago a friend got fired from a convenience store because the manager said she didn't try enough to stop a robbery. She got away from that kind of work and is now retired and living a good life. The manager later tried to stop another robbery. He's been dead for 38 years now. Losing your life over money isn't worth it.

      During another episode, where they were reviewing potential recruits, the same question came up. An applicant ran and hid when his store was getting robbed. He was able to give a description and car license plate number. The non-police reviewer of the candidates thought it was bad that he ran. Friday commented that in doing so, he saved his own life and had information that helped solve the case. Perspective, I guess.

How could you forget how society was just 10 years after WWII. How TV was coming into middle America and the family gathered around and watched TV together? And the public was not yet warned that smoking was hazardous to their health. Don’t you remember? The history, how society, media, family values evolved or dissolved or changed? I’m sure if you think back you’ll remember those times and the history.

      Uhm, "Dragnet" was made with the cooperation of the LAPD and was based on real cases (but, the names were changed to protect the innocent). It WAS a weekly series that ran for something like ten years-actually 8 in the 50s, plus 4 more starting in '67. The dryness is what makes it a cult classic.
