How can anyone give a thumbs down on any of these Dragnet episodes . Goes to show some people would complain that they had to pay taxes on lotto winnings.

There's a reason they called it "theater of the mind"

Yes the cigarette ads sound like the breakfast cereal choice of champions

We used to call my brother "potatoe head". He's pretty smart. My grandfather had a bowling ball for a head. He used to call my dad a "cabbage head". My dad used to warn people about getting their "block knocked off" their shoulders. Hahahaha. 😂 Scary: Scary the stuff some folks used to measure craniums for signs of intelligence...

Friday is obsessed with being the guy who answer's any phone calls.... especially when it's the "hotshot" call lol

"Hey kids, go out there and exercise, but remember, don't forget to take one of my smokes with you."
Great shows and the blatant pushing of cigarettes to American Youth over the radio is incredible to believe how casual and constant it used to be in everyday life.
