"This is the city... Los Angeles, California. I work here... I carry a badge."
If the answer is "yes", then you'll surely remember the theme song that followed them. DRAGNET, a radio favorite, enjoyed equal success on television. This most-popular of police dramas ran for 8 years in the 1950s and was revived nearly a decade later for an additional 3 seasons. The original cast included announcer George Fenneman (of YOU BET YOUR LIFE fame), Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday, Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith and Barton Yarborough as Sgt. Ben Romero.
Of historical interest here is "The Big Producer." The episode's guest star is Carolyn Jones (the future Morticia on THE ADDAMS FAMILY). Martin Milner, who would one day appear in the Jack Webb-produced series ADAM 12, is also featured.
You can find several other DRAGNET episodes (plus RACKET SQUAD and GANG BUSTERS) on TV GUIDE: THE 50's POLICE SHOWS.

The popular TV series, Dragnet, was a forerunner of near-authentic police dramas, and for this reason, it was one of the most triumphant television series in its class. Featuring seven episodes.
