Product Description

The Classic TV Show!: Dragnet aired weekly from 1952 to 1959 and starred Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday and Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith. Using a revolutionary approach to television drama, Webb, as director, lifted authentic events from real LAPD cases, exploring the evils of a crime ridden society.

Delivering you excitement, grit, and "just the facts," this is one DVD set you won’t want to miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Joe Friday and Frank Smith Ipod ready baby!!!, August 3, 2008

By	Jason Pumphrey (Falls Church, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Just love this set of 2 DVD's and the Ipod ready Disc so you can watch 24 classic Dragnet episodes on your Ipod,I just love having some classic Dragnet on the go,it seems that this great set is now out of print but if you can find it at a good price than I think it's worth it The same 24 episodes are also on the 2 DVD's included,the quality in not the greatest,it's classic black and white 50's Dragnet for BOTH you Ipod and TV!!! I know the cover art shows Bill Gannon(the great Harry Morgan on the cover but the episodes contained on this set are the ones starring the late Ben Alexander and in a few episodes Herb Ellis(not the guitarist of the same name) as Frank Smith. If Jack Webb were alive today I think he would get a kick of seeing himself on an Ipod,actually he would probably have one full of classic jazz music,considering he had one of the greatest Jazz record collections of all time!!! Recommended!!! A+

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragnet DVD review, September 9, 2007

By	Beverly A. Kennedy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although this DVD is very good and I have enjoyed watching the shows, I think that the way this was listed on Amazon was misleading. I thought I was purchasing the 1968 season of the TV show with Jack Webb and Harry Morgan. Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks great, but....., May 27, 2006

By	Glenn M. Schoditsch (Richmond, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This looks like a fine collection of the old '50's Dragnet with Joe Friday and Frank Smith plus media for the iPod video. But why does the cover feature Joe Friday and Bill Gannon from the sixties series?
