the two most-spoken words in the history of b/w television: Yes Maam 😁
Hey I've been watching these for four or five months and I never stopped to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate seeing these old shows. You're doing good work
Mrs. Griffin was a hoot. Dragnet is known for their quirky characters. Half of the fun of the show.
Indubidubly 🙂
The lady that Webb is interviewing (Miss Griffin) is a CLASSY lady! Love the 1950's!
Loved the dark haired lady witness at the start. So fiesty and funny. Kept telling Joe off. 👏👏🇬🇧 26:42
f-e-i-s-t-y
She is a girl dog starts with a B
Love the whole series ofDragnet.
Jack Webb's attention to detail is impressive. As he leaves the final interrogation office, Friday turns off the light switch. Saving the taxpayers' money. Nice. Thanks.
I don't remember if this applies to both the black and white series and the color series, but I read that for the sets of rooms inside the Police Administration Building (aka P A B) Jack Webb made sure the doors and furniture were the same as in real life and the walls were painted the same too.
what could be more perfect than the homicide squad having a funeral home calendar in their office.
They had these calendars from different mortuarys throughout the run of the show.
@@lilajagears8317All of which still exist. It’s one business that never falters. Mortuaries and shoe stores.
The woman at 2:21 reminds me of my wife 30+ years ago! She is a no nonsense kind of person and tells it like it is. Sometimes she makes folks mad though because she can't candy coat anything.
"That old harpy..."
Classic!
Great program. Thank you for loading them up!❤
I have never once heard Friday say " just the facts ma'am"
He never did. On a related subject, Captain Kirk never said, "Beam me up, Scottie".
@@ricardocantoral7672 or darth vader never said, 'luke, i am your father.'
I love dragnet best show on tv and radio
Williams Palmer,
I watched it every week as a kid. Thought Joe Friday was dreamy!
@@daradams6843 That's because he was Very, Very, Very handsome. 🥰
These old Dragnets are hysterical, especially the way the public is portrayed. Also, the use of big wall calendars from the local mortuaries always bring a laugh. The writers must’ve been having a time!
"Yes ma'am"
Probably the most used phrase in the show
What's That? The best phrase!
Men in Fedora hats...that's classy.
"This is the city..." 😁🤣🤣
Friday always shows his ID care. I guess he don't need no stinking badge.
16:08, "what do you do for a living?..I work, you know another way?"
I loved Dragnet. Fedora hats, wallpaper, Mercury squad cars, day and night scenes. Friday is a sharp interegater, Smith's a circular one. Friday is questioning the victim, and Smith says"Yes, mam". When Harry Morgan played his partner, his role was basically the same.
The car they rode in was a Ford sedan…”Unit 1-K-80” or “80-K”

When Fedora hats went by the way classiness left with them.
All these years, I finally figured out the announcer was George fenneman
@Julius Ashcroft thanks. Often I'm just listening to the videos and it's amazing what you can hear in the background. Like match game episodes where you can hear the microphones picking up panel members when Gene is working with contestants.
I was always trying to find the guys name and never could. I'm glad you did and thanks for saying.
@@snewsan6645 was just listening...ha
He’s also the announcer for Groucho Marx “You Bet Your Life “ game show from the early 50s
The lady might have been watching DRAGNET on tv! 3:40
The best part of these eps for me is the outside location shots., especially during the opening titles.
Originally telecast on October 13, 1955, and adapted from a May 11, 1954 radio episode.
Thanx for the background info ! I noticed that many of the TV episodes were based on the same stories as those featured in the radio version. Makes sense, since they already have the plots on the books !
It also saved Jack Webb a lot of money by adapting the majority of the original radio scripts (which "GUNSMOKE" also did, during its first six seasons). By 1956, he and his staff were creating new ones as well.
@@fromthesidelines That certainly makes sense ! I noticed that Jack Benny repeated many skits on his TV show that he'd done on his long running radio program.
"You are pretty sure it was a man though?"
" Certainly, I guess I know know a man when I see one...I've been married to one for twelve years. "
Twelve years of research and now she knows what a man looks like. I suppose if she was single she just wouldn't know for sure :)
When she was single, her pocket would jingle.
Nnnn. Hh. H h h. B.
These days, who can tell. Especially if they’re in transition. 😳
Starring *JACK WEBB* as Detective *JOE FRIDAY* and *BEN ALEXANDER* as Detective *FRANK SMITH* . The NBC Network tried to get BEN ALEXANDER back to return as
Det Frank Smith, for the late '60's /early '70's Dragnet shows , but he couldn't , because by then, he was already contracted to play in the 1966-69 ABC-TV series "FELONY SQUAD" with HOWARD DUFF and DENNIS COLE .
Just get to the end of it already
"Felony Squad" was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, I believe.
I love the first witness! Reminds me of one of my aunts. You didn't give her any guff, or they might not find your body!
Of all Friday's partners, I liked Frank the best...especially in that wisdom tooth skit in the Big boys, I think...the one with Spock in it...
I don't think anybody today in a city would prefer to go next door to investigate screams and enter a dark house than call the police and let them check it out.
K Kr: Yeah, I just couldn't believe my ears as she kept investigating instead of calling the cops.
The last time I thought I saw the remnants of a possible crime -- a damaged car at a new car lot, I thought about checking it out, but it was at night and NOPE -- called the cops and told the dispatcher I decided not to check in case the vandals (if it was valdalism) were hanging around, and maybe cranky.
You would if you were a busybody whose nose is in everyone's business.
It's surprising that ultra-masculine Jack Webb wears a bracelet! In the '50's, no less!
You sure it's not a watch?
@@Xezlec I suppose the watch face might not be on the top of the wrist.
I prefer to think it's a bracelet.
It's a WW2 army ID bracelet, as someone else commented. Webb enlisted in the army but had to be hardship discharged as he supported his mother and grandmother.
This dialogue (21:16) goes back and forth in quick succession.
Same as the radio version.
4:47 Just ran straight through the frontdoor... opened it first of course :0) Yeah right lady, thanks a lot for clarifying that !
Suspect" "I want a judge and a jury." Joe Friday: "You'll get one, but they won't like you either." Priceless zinger.
It's so nice to see that women covered their bodies...respectable...👍👍
It's no good; no matter how hard I try....I make every effort.......but I can't get St. George and the Dragonet out of my mind!
Incredible and double incredible!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
No explanation of how this man knew who "George" was or that he didn't get home till 4 am. Or how he knew where everything was in the house.
I always wondered about that.
3 screams and the 4th she realized something must be wrong...
Slow poke. :)
Very perceptive woman.
Ate a whole pot of cheddar cheese...cause she likes to snack during the late show...
This lady has issues..🤣
Substituting cheese for sex.
Watching late-night TV, and eating an entire plate of snacks.The only thing missing: cats and boxed wine.
Hitting the wall, 1950's-style.
Inglewood Park Cemetery must have been a sponsor, as many times as they showed its calendar! At least you don't have to suffer commercial breaks for it. 👏👍👍
This is the first time I've watched Dragnet since its heyday. Friday seems so relaxed and natural here, not the wooden, unsmiling cop who'd pop off insults now and then. Different partner too.
Jack wanted Ben Alexander to return for the 1967 series, but he'd already signed up for "THE FELONY SQUAD" on ABC. So Webb chose another old acquaintance he'd previously worked with on radio, Harry Morgan.
@@fromthesidelines I liked Harry too. In fact I've liked Harry in every role I've ever seen him in. 😊👏👍👍
@@genkatqltr8517 Sherman T Potter
@@sk8terboi10003 Yes, a favorite of mine! 😊
I noticed that too Inglewood Park Cemetery is still very much around. Founded in 1905.
Calendar in the office looks to be for 1955 ,and 17 Jan 1955 was indeed a Monday.
It shows to be 1956 in the beginning of the episode. MCMLVI is 1956.
Love the punch line... I'll make you a bet...
Somehow I never notice it before, but a lot of the characters speak in the same grammatically clipped way that Friday does: by omitting the grammatical first-person singular subject "I."
For example, starting at 3:32, rather than "That did it. I knew there must be something wrong. I got my coat and went over there," she says, "That did it. Knew there must be something wrong. Got my coat and went over there."
It's not every sentence, of course, but it's a lot more frequently than most people would do it.
And I think it's a significant part of what gives the show its tone and flavor.
Called "tight scripting" in the biz. Camera always or nearly always on who speaks. Maybe a few cutaway reaction shots.
@@Glinkaism1 So, not unique to Dragnet?
Thanks for that, Roger.
"You learn something new every day if you're not careful!"
Heck, I talk and write that way and have to be careful to correct myself in print.
Then you haven't been watching Dragnet that long...
@@richrol58 Well, let's say I've haven't watched ANY Dragnet for a long time. And in the intervening years, I've become much more attuned to certain aspects of linguistics.
That's the city alright, yep. I know, I've been there. 😃
Damn commercials
Dark hair with a curl. Could be Superman
Jeanne Dean(Mrs. Milo Hudson) died in Malibu, California on August 30, 1993. She was 68.
"Can you describe the man?"/"How do you mean?/....Um, with words...?
Well he was good at long division and he had real short finger nails does that help detective?
Friday thinks everyone is guilty.
10.02.......".yes man, did you get a good look at the ma'm, man...we just wanna get at the facts ma'm?"
yes he was armed,,he had two
Ha ! :-)
That's "he had too," Dean! Oh brother! 🙄
@@dariowiter3078 no, as in he had "two" arms.
Witness: Guess I know a man when I see one.
Modern day America: Well, about that, lady, how can I put this ….
Type “O” blood, guess you are alright...
At 14:44, I love the Southern Pacific Lines United States map in the background.
Hey! Maybe this thug was in stir just in time to see Johnny Cash when he made his great album "Johnny Cash Live in Folsom." 😎
2:30, this woman questioned by Friday & Smith doesn't liked to be doubted!
Every Now And Then I SEE A BUNCH Of COMPLAINTS ABOUT COMMERCIALS , ad's , ;
What Are They Talking About ?? I Have Watched Everyone Of The Dragnet Episodes On THIS CHANNEL
AND I HAVE NOT SEEN EVEN ONE COMMERCIAL ; Why Do THESE PEOPLE SEE AD"S And I DO NOT !! ?? !! I AM SERIOUS ; WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ????? I AM SO CURIOUS WHAT IS THE DEAL ??
excellent identification process before allowing anyone claiming to be police into your home you look at the photo ID because anyone can buy a badge but I got to bail there's way too much advertising
I think I know why Mr. Griffin left. Mrs. Griffin has the cork in pretty tight.
"I sure know what a man looks like. Was married to one for 12 years."
25:21-
"Robbery in the first degree is punishable by imprisonment for a period of not less than five years.
Assault with intent to do great bodily harm is punishable by a term of from one to twenty years in the state penitentiary."
-terms of sentencing, as stated in the original radio episode
Burglary - the definition is "Jackin"
When you're illegally armed it's called "Packin"
Straight outta Compton 😜
Before 911 -also a lot of good dry humor
19:20 Suspect Mr. Rudolph Mason has eyebrows that look like bath mats!
They are pretty furry.
like it very much thank you love
Lots of double negatives for such a sophisticated lady.
Pretty blue collar girl snagged an executive.
I hate that there was no explanation of how the culprit knew the names of the husbands and knew where everything was located in the home. Why bring that point up then? Strange. Also, why is this episode called The Big Look?
Dragnet teaches how to waive rights.
Love the show. Hate the Ads!
Love the show AND the ads.
Snotty woman!
"Young man" said by a woman his age or younger. Odd. Maybe because Friday is a cop? (Or the part was written for someone older . . . .
@@johnminehan1148 Yes, it was. I've got the radio version of this episode, and it's obvious that the actress who had this part was much older than the TV actress.
Leslie Nielsen walk on!
Bill was good too!
This actor (19:20) appeared in the episode "The Big Hit Run Killer"
People in the 50's were weird. lol 😂
Actually, Webb was 5'-9'" or 5'-10."
14:00 to 14:20- while the victim goes through the mugshot books, there is a calendar sponsored by Inglewood Park Cemetery clearly visible on the wall behind her. Did the cops think it was a good idea for recently-traumatized victims to have a calendar advertising services for dead people right next to their heads while they struggled to identify their assailants?
Mackb909 I’m not trying to argue, but just explain. Back in the 50’s, even much later everyone, including mortuaries and cemeteries gave free calendars at Christmas. Nobody paid attention to the name on them, so I would guess they were just a plain old prop. “Politically correct” is relatively new for us today, but hadn’t even been thought of at that time. People were still civil, but different times, different culture, different era. I wouldn’t make something of it, just think of it as history. Have a good day and stay safe.
Appropriate in a homicide squad. The detective can refer them to a funeral home easily.
Type 0 blood...lmao
Cool ass cop show
Real
Mrs. Griffen is a most attractive woman. 😃
I've seen this before and does it seem odd that it took this woman too long to contact the police?
How long does it take to figure that your next door neighbor is in trouble?
Right! How many times did the poor woman have to scream before she got up off her rear end?
MIKECNW in my building? FOREVER!
Aaa
Everything in the old dragnet was odd.
@@daradams6843 Shut up.
Just curious:
Can anyone tell me the neon filled street shown in the opening?
Poor Frank is always in trouble with his wife for working over. I would divorce her and room with Friday.
So you say but the question is: Would Friday room with you? 😊
I wonder about Mrs Hudson's husband. He may like to sleep late but it seems to me that if he loved her he'd make sure to take her himself. Not lay around in bed and make the police responsible for his wife.
P.S. Oops! Correction:
"Morgan vs Webb."
oh my....is she annoying, or what?
You meant 1950s.
The same 10 episodes that they show over and over again ad naseum on Folk Tv
7:40 How many people can say that?🤔
Why a card and why not show the Badge?
What a cynical, argumentative woman!
Yeah that guy should of smacked her around awhile too. I guess that’s why she lives alone.
She is bored. That’s how some people express it.
To gulag
Why don’t they ware a uniform to identify themselves as cops?
because they have been promoted to detectives.
you dialed o ? 😂
O for "Operator"
@@JohnReitz-ps2ctGod bless you, brother
i love the series but the word mam gets on me nerves he says it all the blummin time
Did anyone grant you permission to sell this movie at the price of ads? Minor theft.
Can’t watch to many adds !
Friday was right...I don't like that guy
Alot of dingy Karens back then😊
Just "Back then"?
Ridiculous amount of commercials for 26 min.show, it's as bad as television! Unsubscribing because of it.
If I were you I'd just be happy that we can watch these shows.
After all, how often do we see the original Dragnet Episodes?
@@MIKECNW there's other channels that have dragnet episodes without soooo many ads!
Not as bad as Pluto TV. It seams like there's more commercial time than actual show time.
