The producer of “Emergency,” was Jack Webb, who was previously married to Troup’s wife, Julie London. Webb cast both of them in the show. No hard feelings, apparently.
Webb not only insisted on total accuracy in his police shows, he also developed his own stock company of actors and crew members who knew what he wanted and could deliver the goods. Webb’s production schedule typically ended before noon, and he and the other actors typically adjourned to his office and spent the afternoon drinking and swapping stories.
Legend has it that Jack Webb could shoot a 30-minute episode of Dragnet in two days. Webb’s other shows, including Adam-12 and Emergency were produced with similar efficiency.
I had such a crush on Dixie she was so fine
