"The story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed,
to protect the innocent."
Dum-dee-DUM-DUM! It doesn't get any more realistic than Dragnet, folks. No
wonder, since the stories are based on actual police cases. Jack Webb is perfect
as detective Joe Friday, who packs all the excitement of melting snow. The show is
meticulous in its attention to detail, and you're presented with every lead, piece of
evidence, and dead end that a real police detective would run into during an actual
investigation. This attempt to make the show dull actually contributes to the
excitement, since you no longer have any of the standard crime-fighting clichés
normally standard in other programs to rely on. Dragnet also became a popular
television series.
