1001 RADIO DAYS

DRAGNET DOUBLE FEATURE THE BIG CLOSE THE BIG DAUGHTER

01 Jan 2025

Description

Dragnet is an American radio series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects. Dragnet is perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of police work. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers. Actor and producer Jack Webb's aims in Dragnet were for realism and unpretentious acting. He achieved both goals, and Dragnet remains a key influence on subsequent police dramas today.  Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.  1001 Radio Days needs new subscribers and reviews!  Please help us out and share with friends and family.
