Dragnet was an excellent series, both very much of its time and... we're still watching it! Furthermore, whilst Los Angeles is in no sense a lovely city, the opening panoramas have always stuck with me. I wonder how these scenes would look today...
Wish the two punks who robbed her had been caught-would have LOVED to have seen Friday rip them a new set of a-sholes up, down, left, right, backwards and forwards in the interrogation room.
I just love the times Friday admonishes someone like he does the rookie officer (the one who wants to be in on the big capers) For some it's just a learning process and they'll eventually make out fine but others will wash out soon. In this episode there's no good ending for any of the victims except the perpetrators are caught.
@@grantkitchen7928 listen to me. Watch the show and watch it good. Even though they didn't "solve" the case they got the suspect. Now if you're or a loved one is a police officer, security guard, in the armed force, or a firefighter; great for you. But you of all people know how difficult crime is hard to control & cases are hard to solve. I would like to see you honor those who have gone before you & not be critical. But if you're a civilian, be quiet!!! It's so easy to criticize & not do anything about it. The heroic men and women, of our law enforcement, military, and fire departments are beyond amazing. They go to work, knowing there's a chance they may never come home, they spend some of the holidays/birthdays/anniversaries by themselves. They're not always there for special events. Why? Because they are willing to protect and defend so that we can enjoy our lives. They pull long hours, get exhausted, hungry, thirsty, homesick and much more. Imagine going to a job knowing that there's a chance you may not live through a shift?!? Or a job that pays alright; while others who criticize/hate/grumble about you,; get such a much bigger salary in one thing than you will get in your life!!!! I have said what I needed. Just think before you're so quick to criticize!!!!!
@@glorygriffith4386 I agree with everything you just said. And believe me I have mad respect for police, firefighters, military, etc. My comment was not meant to be a negative criticism though I now see how it could come off as such and I apologize believe me I'm one of the last people to speak negatively about law enforcement. I was merely making an observation that they only solved two of the cases in this episode the old lady who was attacked I don't think they caught that guy and I also don't recall them catching a "suspect" who stole the homeless guy's change when did that happen? 🤔 I may have to watch it again. I was just saying it was kinda unusual for them not to solve the crime but it was more realistic this way I guess. Again I meant nothing negative by my comment and I apologize if it came off as disrespectful.
@@grantkitchen7928 hey I'm EXTREMELY sorry to come across like that please for give me!!!! My wrong!!!! I guess it's tiring and irritating when people are so hatefully against the police these days. It is so nice to know someone who supports them. Thank you. Again I apologize.
What a great actor mr Barns is. He reminds me so much of a lot of old men that I know. And in the movie he is the consummate witness. Perfect. Sargent Webb sure lucked out on the mr Barns. ☘️☘️☘️☘️🍀🍀🍀
Ralph Moody was in the Christmas episode (BOTH this Dragnet and the 50's), this episode and the one with the helpful lady crook as well as I believe two more for a total of 5.
He would have a table reserved at the Cock & Bull restaurant on the Sunset Strip every week, at the same time for a hang out spot. My mom got me the recipe for a dish at that restaurant, years ago. I remember the announcement when Jack passed away.
Thank you, Mr.Martin God Bless you and yours ALWAYS. Thanks again ...Robin....Maybe if you would look up Gunsmoke with Festus and One Adam 12 if not it is OK,,,, you and your family are awesome....
This is a nasty one because it was so brutal and the perps showed no remorse. Ma and Pa grocery stores and old single people, just the hard working people they picked on, people trying their best to live their lives. Brutal on many levels. Good character development, well written. A real gem of a Dragnet.
Jack Webb was so convincing as Sgt. Friday that he really seemed to be the character. Like David Carradine in _Kung Fu,_ Russell Johnson in _Gilligan's Island,_ and Mickey Rourke in _The Wrestler._
One of the things that stands out is the how the penalties and consequences for committing a crime seem so tough. I mean, I you expect the penalty for murder to be stiff. But when they show robbery suspects going up for 5 to 10 years...man, strict. Things are sure different today, and not for better...
The gung-ho rookie was in several of Webb's shows, usually as...the gung-ho rookie or a cop getting too badge-heavy. He was a pretty emotive actor, actually.
That guy is someone that actually deserves the death penalty. The problem today and the reason why there's a portion of people who oppose it is because sometimes we put it in without due process.
He appears to be thinking, "Oh great; a felony murder rap. Just what I _didn't_ need." Well, if you hadn't decided to punctuate a taunt with three stomach wounds...
Bill should have Slipped that poor guy a buck . He had worked all day for six bits ... Joe and Frank were a little more free with there cash 😎 opps i spoke to soon ..... Good old Bill ....he Came through with some $$ 😁
@@heyoldman2003 Unfortunately California repealed capital punishment in 1972 - with all the appeals, probably got life. That's why Sirhan is still alive, though he was sentenced in 1969.
He needed to explain to the kid what being a police officer is all about. You have to remember you are not in it for the excitement or the glory. But to protect and serve. Its like you want to be a manager without learning the process or the WHY.
That kid needed a rude awakening slapped into him - especially for a job like a cop. Ofc Officer Gannon as a father is gonna push him to be a little softer but as John McCain once said, "There's no time for on-the-job training, my friend"
I definitely liked how Friday subtlety took the rookie under his wing having him stay at the grocery store robbery scene to pencil it out seeing that his goal was to make detective.
I have a niece who was about 21 and married when this incident happened to her. She’s a little blonde, like movie star beautiful. Which really doesn’t alter the horror of what happened to her. Her husband had gone into the store to buy a gallon of milk and a young black man had gone in there too. I don’t know know what happened but the black man came running out and ran by the side of the car where Chelly was sitting and he just shot at her. The shot blinded her in one eye
Back then things were cheaper. As a kid, I could buy a comic break in the early 1970s for 20 to 25 cents and a candy bar for a nickel. I haven't looked up the year of this show, but it was probably the same time frame.

Sgt. Friday took that rookie all the way to school. Loved it.
Me TV always deletes the part where Friday says " those punks were kind of hard on Mrs Anderson
Good episode! I love watching Dragnet!❤
Me, too!! I’ve watched all 98 episodes of the late 1960’s version of “Dragnet”!!!
Bill giving that man his dinner money. Shows that despite the fact that he can be a goof sometimes he really has a heart of gold!

Did you ever notice the smog in the skyline in some of the intros?
I just want to reach out and give that poor old lady a hug
Ya, and the neighbor, too, for stepping in.
The neighbor is a hero, not many people would do what she did! 👍
Me too it's so heartbreaking. The poor seem to get it worse.

Her attackers weren't caught either. :(

Yup, classic.
The hotel clerk was also a victim in that he lost a friend.
I just love how officer Gannon gave his dinner money like that!
They didn't solve that case either

Jack Webb was planning a third iteration of Dragnet with Kent McCord as his partner in 1982 but he sadly passed away at 62.
Jack Webb was a solid dude. And unfortunately a heavy smoker.
He would have a table reserved at the Cock & Bull restaurant on the Sunset Strip every week, at the same time for a hang out spot. My mom got me the recipe for a dish at that restaurant, years ago. I remember the announcement when Jack passed away.
@@carlc5748 On 77 Sunset Strip? (sorry, had to)
That rhymes me boy
A familiar name. Virginia Capers. She starred on Broadway in a play called "Your Arms Are Too Short to Box With God."
Being in the LAPD in those days meant something. Now not so much.
12:20...That black woman is beautiful!💙
Yes she is !!!
Who be that wonderful colored woman ?
@@Carter-je9kb Virginia Capers as it says at the end credits.
One of my favorite who done its. ❤❤❤

Dude in the red shirt and cut face at the end must have been paroled and then opened the Cobra Kai dojo in the Valley.
This Show portrayed how Police Work REALLY is The Good, The Bad and ohh The Ugly.

News Note:
This is the LAST Episode in the Revamped Series of Dragnet.
I like how he say “ I ‘s works here I carry a Wonder Woman lunch pale”
Jack Webb was so convincing as Sgt. Friday that he really seemed to be the character. Like David Carradine in _Kung Fu,_ Russell Johnson in _Gilligan's Island,_ and Mickey Rourke in _The Wrestler._
David Carradine definitely was. He practiced Kung fu for the rest of his life after the show ended.

Howard Culver claims the honor of speaking the last lines of the series.

This was the last episode of the series.
Wow thanks for the info did not know that Friday & Gannon quite the team. Wish they could've retired Cannons "badge number" a long w/Fridays too
Would’ve been great if Friday got married and he & his wife moved to Eagle Rock near the Gannon’s.
This apartment manager has been in numerous episodes.
@@maryhlad5277He had his eyes on one Gal In The black and white days . She was tuff and such a Sweetheart. Joe’s Mom
Loved her ♥️
@@heyoldman2003 Anne was the "girlfriend in the black and white days" 2 episodes.
10:47- Joe is genuinely moved by what his friend did.
The motto of the time was to "PROTECT AND SERVE." Jack Webb believed in that!!
Does anyone know how the actor Charles Brewer died? He played the rookie cop who Sgt. Friday lectured. Charles Brewer later became a doctor.
I don't know. He died awfully young. I haven't been able to find any details about his death other than the date and location.
@@1981lashlarue Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what happened.
I never understood why they had to use the phone to call photogs and other services instead of say calling it in on the radio?
Nowadays in California they would be back on the streets in less than 20 years.
Or killed in prison.
Now in 2021 they wouldn't even bother to press charges
The older man was also in a few of these...
Yeah, he was also in one with Carolyn Jones and Martin Milner were he played a former movie director turned pornographer.

Not all the cases were solved here. The purse snatchers weren't arrested and neither was whoever stole the homeless guy's money.
Jesus Joe, take it easy on the kid.
He needed to explain to the kid what being a police officer is all about. You have to remember you are not in it for the excitement or the glory. But to protect and serve. Its like you want to be a manager without learning the process or the WHY.

A white guy murdered my daughter
13:52: Mac’s brother?
No Mac himself a blooper not caught by many…Funny Webb was pretty good at keeping on top of those things
@ericbarkley8050 not a blooper. JW probably said " Hey Bill, want to make a few extra bucks? Be on set at 9am"
they arrested Joe Piscopo!
Dinner money??
Are his dinners super-expensive, or were LA cops paid shit then?? lol
Back then things were cheaper. As a kid, I could buy a comic break in the early 1970s for 20 to 25 cents and a candy bar for a nickel. I haven't looked up the year of this show, but it was probably the same time frame.
4:00 Found him lying on the floor? Wasn't he in the bed? Hmmmm.....
I'm guessing the ambulance moved him towards the bed
