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.
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
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.

The announcer laughing at the end was the first time I’ve heard that kinda flub on these OTR greats, thanks for this one was tonnes of fun!

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!!!!
😲 wow this program is 4 years older than me ❤😊
Thank you!
The best writing in radio.
Check out Dan Duryea in The Man From Homicide ....none better writing and delivery

To you, anyway, I assume...

My god. Does every line have to include a snappy metaphor? "Like 2 part harmony in a phone booth". I can't take it!
great show!!!
The humor of the lead is great, to the exclusion of subtle.

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

Love the Webb!❤️

30:00, a small blooper: "This is ABC, the National Broadcasting Company," followed by laughter in the background.
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).
