“Just the facts, ma’am”—this series is quite entertaining. I used to always watch
this series when originally released on tv. I guess I just liked Jack Webb who was made
famous and iconic in this role as Sergeant Joe Friday. And I enjoyed Harry Morgan as
Bill Gannon. Plus I vastly preferred the color series over the early Fifties black & white
seasons. My wife loved his sour-puss looks at times, his dedication to the job, how he
said “Captain” and the end section that shows the law violator getting his or her just
desserts! One of my favorite episodes is “The Big Kidnapping” that features a dynamite
score by Lyn Murray.

Another quality set but especially so here because it offers a bonus feature of
Dragnet 1966 (pilot movie). It also has the interesting featurette, “Jack Webb: The Man
Behind Badge 714.”
-Dragnet 1969 (1969) *** �

Still pretty good set but bare bones –“Just the episodes, ma’am.” I liked episode #
19 “Administrative Vice” that stars Anthony Eisley. He starred in at least six episodes of
the series. Also episode # 22 “Vice” is also good.

This is the weakest or least satisfying of the four seasons/sets. Even the image
transfer is rather bad compared to the clarity of image and good color saturation of the
earlier Shout sets. You can skip this one if you can only afford one or two sets (get
Seasons One & Two for sure!).
-Deep Blue Sea (1999) *** [music **]
