- Dragnet is a radio and television crime drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
I really find these classic Detective stories very entertaining.These shows top it for me.Thanks for bringing them back.
Peggy Webber is still alive, 97 years old. Probably the only actor from this show that's still around.
She played the drunk chick ?
She and Ann Robinson (the policewoman in the 1954 Dragnet film) who is 93 now are the last two from their generation of Dragnet players that are still living.
i think she was a babe back then. she was also in adam 12
@@heyoldman2003 yes
@@daviddowns7552 i loved the Adam12 show where she played the angry wife of a thief who loved VW dune buggies 😎. “ Now what do i do “ hahahahahaha
Peggy Webber, the drunk girl in the bar, is fantastic. Great actress!
Jesse Mag She was part of Jack Webb’s stock company. She also appeared in the ‘60s reboot.
Peggy is still with us she has a radio group in california she played friday's mother on the radio version of dragnet even though she is more or less the same age
She was on Adam 12 many times .. she’s great 👍🏼
She also work on the color ones of dragnet too?
@@tonyarceneaux286 yep
I've been binge watching all of these 1950s "Dragnet" episodes and it's interesting how so many of these actors went on to appear in the 1960s series.
You would be wrong.....it has always been dangerous before and after women. Guys have killed in the line of duty for decades with and without partners.
BTW I am a police officer ( for the last 17 years ) and I have met women on the job that I would NOT hesitate to hit a door with an armed felon on the inside.
can you arrest the real mass murderers and you guys get together and get hillary and obami ? you guys chase no bodies
Wesley Jack Webb was the kind of guy who, if he liked you, you became part of his troupe
of actors and he would use you over and over in his TV series.
also / including older actors who needed work to keep their guild standing and benefits.
Do you ever make a visit to the real world, Greg? You should try it sometime.
I just listened to this story on the radio Dragnet .. how cool to see it …
It's a time I wish I could had lived through.I like the 1950🎉s Era very much.Was undoubtedly the best Era of the 20th Century.
Love the show watched yrs ago w my grandma wish it was still around
Peggy Webber (begins at 16:26)-one fine lady still, and one great TV actress! She shined in dozens of Dragnet and other Mark 7 shows.
she was also a lead character in the movie "the screaming skull"
and the bartender played the doctor in the b movie "the atomic brain"
she's a skank ~
Funny, I never thought she was a a particularly good actress. She always annoyed me.
You're a dick.
Like most crooks their greed got the best of them. They didn't quit while they were free.
I like the way Friday handles his business.. the way he talks ha
They need to start doing these again
grew up watching this...
I absolutely love the sweaty hand. Missed it terribly.
Originally telecast on October 6, 1955; adapted from the February 8, 1955 radio episode.
I just found the radio version and while the plot is the same it’s strikingly different from the TV episode, especially Wilcoxson
12:30 "Quincy Jones" as an alias. Nice touch by Webb, who was a big fan of Jazz.
Born 1933, probably in his early twenties :)
Nobody had ever heard of Quincy Jones at the time this episode was produced. It’s just a coincidence.
@@jasonrfoss248 it's possible. Jones was recording and touring with Lionel Hampton in 53, made his first album under his name in 55 and was working for CBS in 56.
I'm so used to watch dragnet in color. So I decided to watch at least one in black and white.
Bit of trivia: When the hands hammer out the Mark VII logo at the end, those are Jack Webb's hands.
How would you know that? Did you see cigarette stains?
I can't beleive after all these years, The hand mystery is finally solved (LOL)! Thanks!
Yea... That's right (said in the voice of Jack Webb)
U are incorrect. The hands belonged to Harold C. Nyby. He was the Construction Foreman on the set.
@@Buildsolarhomes Yea... That's right (said in the voice of Harold Nyby).
Amazing how long the victim's monologue about the swindlers went on. You would never see that in a contemporary show.
I was in love w joe,,,,,
Los Angeles looks better on this old show than it does now. How sad.
What a time capsule
This couple has been married 37 years and the wife has exactly one picture of her husband. Camera shy, I suppose.
Peggy Webber, 98, still alive May 2024
Tricked. Swindled. Scammed. Same old crime taking advantage of others. How unscrupulous and brazen the people who scam others. Scammers are successful because some people love the promise of easy money. Scamming has been on the rise over the years and is big business today. Some people meaning scammers have no conscience. Absolutely no shame those brazen thieves.
Monica Gomez-I am 61 and although this is not a new crime, with each decade people seem to have lost more and more LOVE for their fellow man. Of course when you read in the SCRIPTURES(especially the Crucifixion of Jesus) you can see how Sin has always operated and it has really gotten a foothold over the past few decades.

Dragnet! Jack Webb! Mmeeooww!!!
Kent McWhirter aka Kent McCord is still alive. He was a patrolman on Dragnet, before Adam-12.
That's a pretty elaborate con, but of course 1500 dollars was quite a bit of money in those days.
About $15K today
🌞 Peggy Webber is very Beautiful seen her in many shows 🌞
Six bits = 75 cents
Two bits ,four bids ,six bits a dollar …all for Tyee ( high school) stand up and holler .. yea !!!! Hahaha
lol now why didn't this man send the guy with the ring to the jewelers that would have solved all the probs except he was greedy and wanted that extra money. thats the only people who can be swindled are the greedy ones.
also it would have served the swindlers right to have their plans backfire on them
It was too bad Mr& Mrs Hunt never got back their life savings.
I hope Jack Webb tracked them down and offered them $1500.00 if they
would sign a release allowing him to use their real names in this episode.
Bill23799 ...yea right...keep on dreaming...not like their names were Elvis Presley
I remember her from the 60s show
quincey jones, the beginings of a great music producer
Wow didn't know Quincy Jones was around in L.A..... I'm those years..
One of the few the crooks got away with it. But only for awhile. Just had to catch them when they tried it again.
The pawn shop owner looks and sounds a little like Patton Oswald !
She hadn't been with them hotel,of course
The music in the bar with Peggy Webber is creepy...
15:58 Quincy Jones???? What album was he recording then??
Joe and Frank always got their man.....almost.
Sure wanted to see that old fella get his money back. Sad he didn't.
I always knew Quincy Jones would get in trouble.
You mean that old guy has only $1,500 savings after 37 years? It is the 1950s, he should have much more than that.
would be equal to $14500 today
The drunk gal reminds me of Carol Burnett.
Morning everyone
she was in adam 12 too.🔥
OK...who here did NOT know those are Jack Webb's hands at the end of each episode
holding the big hammer and the steel Stamp " MARK VII " ?
OK Sammy but did you know Jack Webb was a Robot?
You can tell because when he walks he does not move his arms forward and back.
Bet you didn't know that bit of Trivia. Hehe.
2:50 wen u piss people off in south Carolina...
It always cracked me up when people pronounce "day" as "dee"...still does
Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee, Thursdee, Fridee, Saturdee
Come visit Australia mate... it's always pronounced that way here.. 😉
I keep thinking about Jack Vincennes and Badge Of Honor when I watch this now. Quincy Jones? I wonder if Allen Toussaint was ever an alias on the show
Did the bartender play Joes partner in some episodes?
The Mark VII hands are NOT Jack Webb
Thats the equivalent of $14,000 today, and had the buying power of 100K.
No, if it's equivalent to $14,000 today then it has the buying power of $14,000 today. Also the drink was 75 cents, so his life saving was the equivalent of 2,000 drinks. Although the bartender said 'She likes the expensive stuff'
@@michaelcolfin8464 buying power and direct inflation are two different things
@@Nderak NO they are not. Inflation (as measured by the CPI) determines buying power. If inflation is 3% for a year, that means that the same money will purchase 3% less than a year ago. Thus to buy the same amount you have to earn 3% more. If $1500 is equivalent to $14,000 today, that means what you could buy for $1500 then you would have to pay $14,000 to buy an equivalent item. (I'm using your number, I didn't look up the inflation from 1955 until today) But buying power is determined by compound inflation. It's definitional.
If in 1955, $1500 could buy 2000 (six-bits) drinks at a bar, then however much it cost to buy 2000 drinks now (at the relative quality the young lady was drinking, it was said she liked the expensive stuff) would be his buying power and that will be in line with inflation from that time until today. Not to say that some things inflate more than others and there are things that exist today that didn't in 1955 (and some things in 1955 that you can't buy today or would want to buy) But on average, inflation is the direct proportion of buying power from then to now.
The definition of inflation is: a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money.
Quincey Jones.😄
Quincy Jones HAHAHA
You caught that too!
What is it about these 1950's episodes and musicians? This episode has a Quincy Jones and another episode I saw had a Keith Jarrett.
13:50
21:49 yeah not 3 months
😎
she was so 🔥
MY NAME IS THURSDAY, I WEAR A BADGE! WOULDN'T SOUND AS GOOD AS FRIDAY!
Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee, Wednesdee, Thursdee, Fridee, Saturdee
He didn't say he carried a Badge, he said that in the 60s. In the 50s he says, "I'm a cop."
I carry a baaaadge

Nun. über diese Serie gibt es überhaupt nichts zu sagen: Klassiker reiht sich an Klassiker! Das war der Vorläufer von Stahlnetz. Von 1951-1969.
G
FRIDAY NEVER SEEMS COMPASSIONATE ENOUGH. U KNO. THINK'S HE KNOWS EVERY THING. CAN'T be WRONG ABOUT NOTHING DON'T go for him at all.
You mean "Can't be wrong about anything." Unless you want to write the opposite of what you mean.
The radio "Dragnet" was better.
Why did they show the body to the suspects? Why didn't they just lie and tell them they found him, he was in custody, and said it was all their idea?
Lot's of wasted time. They could have had a couple scenes where the suspects committed the crime again.
