Dragnet: Old Time Radio - 379 Episodes

• ORIGINAL (137 hrs and 54 mins)
• By Frank Burt, James E. Moser, John Robinson
• Narrated By Jack Webb, Barton Yarborough, Ben Alexander, and others

Dragnet was perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave millions of audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of real-life police work.

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 in many media.

Pat Novak for Hire: Pain Gets Expensive

• ORIGINAL (5 hrs)
• By Richard L. Breen
• Narrated By Jack Webb, Tudor Owen, Raymond Burr

If you got the idea that Pat Novak was a rather single-minded fellow, you'd be wrong. He appreciated liquor every bit as much as he appreciated women. He could be found most nights popping shots and wisecracks with his saloon-owner pal, Jocko Madigan (Tudor Owen). But, most of all, he appreciated the crisp greenness of a new 50-dollar bill. Operating out of the grim San Francisco waterfront, Novak didn't have much use for anyone and didn't much care who knew it.
