- Pat Novak, for Hire is an old-time radio detective drama series which aired from 1946-1947 as a West Coast regional (produced at KGO in San Francisco) program and in 1949 as a nationwide program for ABC. The regional version originally starred Jack Webb in the title role, with scripts by his roommate Richard L. Breen. When Webb and Breen moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles to work on an extremely similar nationwide series, Johnny Modero, Pier 23, for the Mutual network, Webb was replaced by Ben Morris and Breen by other writers. In the later network version, Jack Webb resumed the Novak role, and Breen his duties as scriptwriter. The series is popular among fans for its fast-paced, hard-boiled dialogue and action and witty one-liners.

I live for these kind of programs. My Pappy and I used to listen to this. I listened to these with my son. And now we listen to these with his son. Win-Win-Win.😎👍👍👍👍
Absolutely BRILLIANT!Noir
Radio at it's best.Jack Webb's "machine-gunning"
confrontations,and his use of
similes&metaphors make
'Pat Novak For Hire'come
alive, surpassing the screen.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a Noir satire or not, but I did find myself laughing hysterically. Priceless dialogue.
Old radio is great!!!!
Dissecting the body of work just takes away the enjoyment of listening to the past! Jack Webb was so stoic on TV his presence was weak - his talent lies in the voice
To you, anyway, I assume...
He could be an excellent actor on film, for example, the episode of the first series made after Barton Yarbrough died or the episode of the 1967 series where he investigates the murder of a Soldier who served in Vietnam who had a 5 year old daughter.
The best writing in radio.
Check out Dan Duryea in The Man From Homicide ....none better writing and delivery
My god. Does every line have to include a snappy metaphor? "Like 2 part harmony in a phone booth". I can't take it!
Did anybody hear that! Her car seats were made of asbestos! Too cool, I remember one particular show he said, (the fog was thicker than the ankles at a fat ladies convention!) Undoubtedly one of my favourite shows! Raymond Burr does a great job too.
Martin Dodds asbestos i heard! A natural stone never breaks down burns etc dangerous to our lungs probably ok to sit on pre plastic! Lol
Martin Dodds Texas rangers
Martin Dodds $)
The humor of the lead is great, to the exclusion of subtle.
"Pat Novak for Hire" presents Jack Webb in a different light than his later monotone presentation on "Dragnet." A good plot, the pacing was fine, and the acting of the primary and supporting cast was alright.
Thank you!
Love the Webb!❤️
great show!!!
this is the best one~
Awesome.
Kid in the 1950s here and Jack Webb was a hep cat trumpet player and Class Pres. at his High School..Venice..
Lol , Jack Webb left San Francisco (It used to be referred as the Paris of the United States) to fame and fortune in Los Angeles (La-La Land).

Hmmmm. I'm not sold on this one, yet. This almost came of more of a pastiche of noir than of noir itself. It seemed to be trying too hard. I'l try one more episode before moving on.
Have you been missed?
It was kind of seen that way at the time. There was a Parody on Dick Powell's Richard Diamond radio show with a character called "Pat Cossack." I think Norman Lear wrote it.
