Just the facts, mam. There was an old police drama starring Jack Webb and Harry Morgan as Joe Friday and Bill Cannon. This police drama was based on true events and the names were changed to protect the innocent. This was a show that I only saw as reruns, but it was strictly a procedural show for Joe Friday would narrate as the show progress telling what each of the were going to do. The scenes of the show were stark and to me were true to fact and at times were scary to me.

Cannon
Who remembers all those old detective shows from the 1970's? The one that came to my mind was one entitled 'Cannon' that was about a slightly obese man who identified himself as a private investigator hired by whomever needed help some way. He did work with the cops when needed. Cannon would drive around working on his cases in a great big car and there would always be some sort of food on the front seat usually donuts. This show was usually show in parts, as in Act One- introducing what crime took place, Act Two- the investigation, Act Three- catching the culprit(s) and summing up how everything went. There were a few more of these types of shows that were on television back then, and I am thinking about critiquing them as well.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

You simply cannot say the word "Dragnet" without hearing that famous, profound music in your head!
I do remember this many years back
Interesting critique, Mark. My only experience of Dragnet is with the hammy, funny, black comedy version, the film starring Tom Hanks and Dan Ackroyd. I used to love that film...but never seen the series actually.
