Fun Fact! Following Webb's death on December 23, 1982, the L.A.P.D. honored him with a funeral normally reserved for officers who had died in the line of duty and permanently retired Joe Friday's badge number 714. Dragnet debuted over NBC-Radio in June 1949 and ran through February 1957. Webb also starred in two very successful television versions of the program- from 1952-59 and 1967-72. Webb first got the idea for Dragnet while working on the 1948 film He Walked by Night. Webb got to talking with one of the movie's technical advisors, officer Marty Wynn, who complained, "It rankles every damn cop in the country when they hear those far-fetched tales about crime. Why don't you do a real story about policemen?" Webb took his time in developing the series, plotting out every detail right down to the last sound effect. The L.A.P.D. approved the series, but had a few requirements: All dramatizations had to follow the facts of a real L.A.P.D. investigation; the show could never glorify or defame police officers; and it had to represent policemen as "real" human beings.
Jack and Ben ❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
“Joe, while we’re waiting, have you ever had a Turkish bath?”
Good afternoon
