The Best 50's Dragnet Buy,
By HardyBoys.us (Long Island USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dragnet Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)
This is a great collection of the original Dragnet show from the 1950s.
Those who are familiar only with the 1960's version will be pleasantly surprised how close the original series is to that version. Some of the same actors and actresses appear in both series, even some of the stories are the same! Anyway, there are 20 episodes (8+ hours) of great black & white crime drama. The quality of the prints used ranges from so-so to good. The digital transfer is generally good. The sound level is a bit low on some episodes. Part of the opening and closing credits have been edited out. If you are looking for a DVD collection of the 1950's version of Dragnet, this set offers the best value.

Review of The Dragnet Collection,
By
This review is from: The Dragnet Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)
The first thing that struck me about this one was that the original Dragnet theme song, "The Dragnet March (Dum, de dum, dum),"
was replaced by a violin every time that the original would have been played.

What is this, a bootleg?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dragnet Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)
I admit that I didn't read the previous reviews, and snatched this up on the spur of the moment with another item I'd ordered. I was attracted by the price and by the apparent completeness of the earliest of Dragnet episodes. I'm puzzled by the omission of the Dragnet theme, so iconic that without it, the shows seem very flat. I'm disappointed at the video quality as well, as if these are copied from a well worn film rather than the masters. Overall, for the cheap price, I guess one can't expect too much.
