Dragnet "2 Episodes" (9-01-49) and (5-24-51) - Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod
b'Dragnet was perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in American media history. The series gave millions of Americans a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of real-life police work. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers. Actor and producer Jack Webb\\xe2s 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. The show\'s cultural impact is demonstrated by the fact that even after five decades, elements of Dragnet are known to those who\'ve never seen or heard the program.
