About Dragnet
Jack Webb plays LAPD Sergeant Joe Friday across 276 black-and-white episodes from 1951 to 1959 and 98 color episodes from 1967 to 1970. A 1954 feature film, a 1966 pilot movie and the 1987 comedy film round out the classic run.
Good to know
The 1954 film slots between seasons of the original run but plays fine grouped with the other films. The later revivals The New Dragnet (1989) and L.A. Dragnet (2003) use new casts and sit outside this list.
