The Dragnet episode where a toddler drowns in a tub is the episode I remember the most.

I liked all the “Dragnet” series. Also the movie which was funny.

Jack Webb was very conservative but was also a big government tight control type. In some of the early episodes he totally violates suspects rights.

I used to watch this all the time as a kid. I also got to see the original movie DRAGNET (1954). Not the horrid 1987 spoof film of the same name.

I loved the old Dragnet episode from the 50s where the Baby Jesus statue from the Nativity scene at a church goes missing and he and his partner Frank have to find the culprit. It has a happy ending.

I'm a big Jack Webb fan and I'm glad to see this thread.

Here are some of my favorite episodes from the 1967-1970 revival series:

Dragnet 146 "Public Affairs (DR-07)" Original Air Date September 19, 1968 (written by Burt Prelutsky*)

Dragnet 158 "Community Relations(DR-17)" Original Air Date January 2, 1969

Dragnet 189 "A.I.D - The Weekend" Original Air Date February 12, 1970

Dragnet 194 "D.H.Q - Night School" Original Air Date March 19, 1970

Webb had planned another incarnation of Dragnet. His partner would be Jim Reed, portrayed by Kent McCord, promoted from patrolman on Adam 12. Webb's death prevented this from happening.

*Burt Prelutsky recounts his experiences with Jack Webb in this archived article.
