does anyone knows at the end of the origingal show of "Dragnet"....what roman numerals were hammered,(stamped) into the wall....????

It was MARK VII and it was the name of Jack Webb's production company

Hi Y'all, I dig that wild 1966-67 FORD FAIRLANE 500 4-DOOR SEDAN driven by OFFICER GANNON in the 1967-70 version of "DRAGNET" & I wish to inform you that my cousin TOM "MAC" McMILLAN (as in "McMILLAN & WIFE") is working an entire series of police type screenplays with movie theatre potential in he plans to move BILL GANNON from the rank of officer to Commissioner! Among the script ideas is a theatrical screenplay version of the JACK WEBB book entitled "THE BADGE". It's mostly stories from the L.A.P.D. files which are so graphic on a violent type level that he did not dare turn them into DRAGNET episodes in the 1950'S. Ofcourse, he plans to bring in SONNY SHROYER to recreate SHROYER'S role of ENOS STRATE from "THE DUKES OF HAZZARD" in the rank of inspector from the Detective Headquarters Division. More details to follow at a later date in time! Over & Out for now.

Hey everyone...

Jack Noyes here at KNBC TV in Burbank California.

I'm doing some research regarding Dragnet.

Does anyone happen to know what episode went in depth on Parker Center (LAPD headquarters)?

Thanks,

Try reading through the info at tvtome.com

Without more info - it could be several of them.

I'm sorry that this is an elementary question to ask of Crime and Mystery enthusiasts but I need to know for certain who first used the catch phrase 'Just the facts, Ma'am'. Am I right in thinking that this was Joe Friday in Dragnet. Many thanks for anyone's reply.

does any one know which episode featured a fight scene, with jack webb and ben alexander. Thanks.

I am doing research for faculty here at Seton Hall University regarding the Prisoner's Dilemma game theory concept (example: http://www.open2.net/trust/dilemma/dilemma_game.htm) as represented in film and tv. Some elements of Dragnet would be perfect, mainly interrogation scenes...More specifically, scenes with two suspects that Friday and Gannon are trying to get to confess...Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Am researching the background of "Sgt. Joe Friday" for an article.

Does anyone have any idea where I mind relevant information.

In the original radio and tv versions, it's implied, more than once, that he lives with his mother; later he lives alone in the house where he grew up. Also in the original runs, he was a university graduate; someone thought in Sociology. In the Ed O'Neil version, I believe he had a degree in Philosophy.

I note these examples only to provide a sense of what I'm after.

Thanks in advance.

I teach a communications class. I'm attempting to locate the episode in where an officer is accused of being rude and unprofessional. Several civilians came to the station house to spek with Sgt/Lt Friday about the officer. Any ideas??

God, I loved that show!

I just watched 2 episodes of DRAGNET. THE BIG BETTY (9-24-53)& BIG THIEF (12-17-53)Of interest to note: In BIG BETTY Gloria Saunders played the villainess, and then in BIG THIEF she played the villainess again. Also, in BIG BETTY a member of Gloria Saunders'gang was played by Robert Clarke, and then in BIG THIEF he also played the hotel clerk. (name not in credits for this episode). Does this happens in many episodes? Seem odd.
