Jack Webb was a complete macho man and talented actor. He and Johnny Carson did a Dragnet spoof that was hilarious. The D.I. was always one of my fave movies.

It was Jack's Birthday this past Tuesday. I bet you knew that. He would have been 104 years old!

These ones are in great shape... its thrilling to "go back in time 66 years"... to think how much has changed in the intervening years - interstate freeways, space travel, color TV, computers, cell phones... and now homelessness and legalized petty crime in CA... kinda gives me the willies thinking about it.

Very enjoyable for me, age 76 and this is the kind of entertainment on which I grew up. Good to see this series again.

The little electric motorboats you see @ 1:21 were powered by 1925 Dodge starters and car batteries. Each one was named after a Disney character. They also had a franchise in Reseda Park in the Valley. I would help out there in trade for free rides. They were owned by the Dasea Bros. if I have the correct spelling. A fun afternoon for family fun. Brings back memories of a better time. The scene here is MacArthur Park.

Another great episode!

Dick Miller appeared in a lot of popular sci-fi/horror movies, always playing a rather low brow character of one type or another, yet in reality he had a doctorate in psychology. Now that's acting!

Great!! Episodes after about 1955 are hard to come by except for a few of them. The police building later known as Parker Center was built in 1956 and is in the last few season's episodes. It was torn down in 2009.

I was born in 1957. Most vehicles back then used leaded gasoline. Maybe that's why space aliens won't leave me alone.

It's really happened all over the world. Global population is up about 120% since the time these episodes were made. There's too many people and that makes things more expensive and makes it harder to get ahead in life. And on top of that, the wealth in both the United States and the world has concentrated incredibly meaning that most citizens are effectively poorer than they used to be.
