Jack Wolf obtained the rights to the series from Universal, which had bought the Dragnet property in the wake of Mr. Webb's death. While the initial season was moderately successful, the network, in a misguided attempt to boost the ratings, demanded and got changes in the series format which, in the eyes of many viewers (especially those who remembered the earlier versions), simply ruined the series, and it was unceremoniously cancelled--a classic example of killing the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg! Had the producers and the network adhered more closely to Mr. Webb's original formula, over time the ratings might well have improved on their own. This is a problem that has existed in the television industry since the early 1960's. It illustrates the truth of Walt Disney's statement during the 1930's that, "quality comes first; box office will follow quality!"

@@GlamRockCowboy You mean Dick Wolf. But I agree wholeheartedly. The first season was well put together and had some ideas that were interesting. By the second season, however, he had to mess up the formula and it was just like every other police procedural on the air; in fact, it was "Law & Order LA" before "Law & Order LA". Why, for example change the title to "LA Dragnet"? Was he planning to do "Dragnet" from other cities?

I have a lot of respect for Jack Webb. He created Dragnet as a radio show in 1949, adapting stylistic and narrative ideas from He Walked Alone, a film noir he had appeared in. He then brought it to TV in the fifties and was the driving force behind the series which revolutionised the cop show. He was a creative innovator - and a jazz aficionado, too, in spite of his stern demeanour as Joe Friday! Its a shame that these days, many people choose to sneer at him for his reactionary politics as expressed in the sixties Dragnet series, and forget the visionary genius he had been in the fifties. We remember Laurel and Hardy for Way Out West and Sons Of The Desert, and draw a discreet veil over Great Guns and Atoll K. People should extend the same courtesy to a man who deserves great respect - Jack Webb.

More amazing than that is that there is a cop shot and the other cops find out and get there before the ambulance. As soon as the guy started talking, you knew he wouldn't make it. Jack Webb had a flare for the dramatic. A lot of these episodes were also on radio and the ones that he wanted to make a point were shown more than once. The once about a 22 rifle for Christmas was shown a lot and the one where the kid steals the statue of Jesus was shown again word for word but with different actors again in the 1960's version of the show with Jack and Harry Morgan.

Emergency! would go on air about 20 or so years later.

The purse snatcher "emptied his gun" into the cop. That likely means he took six rounds. Which are you going to try to stop bleeding. The cops likely knew he was history and did not want to let him know it. A bunch of clothes ripping and six wounds having pressure applied would have panicked the cop. And for no purpose. If an artery was hit, back in the mid fifties there wasn't much anyone besides a surgeon could do.

I thought casting Harry Morgan as Fridays partner was big mistake starting in the 1967 debut. He seemed so out of character after playing the foil of a husband in Decembers Bride & Pete & Gladys. The new series could have selected someone more believable than him.

That guy Templar was also on the radio show Pat Novak with Webb.

Wow! What a mug on that jamoke. He could scare paint off a fence.

"jamoke"?

@ 15:53 A classic *"clutch the pearls"* moment.

I remember when Jack Webb died the LAPD gave him a policeman's funeral as if he had been in the the head of the police department and that was because he in his portrayal of Sergeant Friday gave people something that they didn't have when it came to the police, his show and he especially did their research he literally portrayed a police officer the way you're supposed to be. It's funny it's one of the few memories that I can still see as if it happened only yesterday while things that happen within the last 20 plus years I don't remember pretty much in some cases at all and that has to do with the blow to the head that I took. I can still see the police chips unit on either side of the hearse the motorcade I mean he might as well have been the president with the kind of motorcade they gave him, and yet dragnet had been finished a long long time before... I guess the police have a very long memory.

This episode is "The Big Net" Season 6 Episode 4. "Women are attacked in a small area at bus stops, but when the attacker is scratched in the face in a fight with a woman he is cornered and shoots an officer." Cast Norman Bartold, Peter Brocco, Julie Van Zandt

The drunk is a nice mashup of John Barrymore and Erroll Flynn.

Same thing.

The dates are 1956. Thanksgiving would be Thursday, 24 November 1955. Even more so, they checked on another suspect on Tuesday, 4 December, yet the end has an inquiry the day before, Monday 3 December, after the shootout. How could an inquiry on a shootout conclude something that happened the end of the next day?
