No, it was from the 1960 TV series called, “Dragnet”. It was about two FBI agents who busted criminals. The original was Jack Webb and Colonel Potter talking to a couple of hippie anarchists. Fairly ingenious wouldn’t you agree?

Yes, I never saw Dragnet. I’m actually more familiar with old radio broadcasts of the show (which played in repeat syndication even in modern times) and didn’t have cable when it came back there.

They are on DVD now but I wouldn’t plan to sit down and watch the full series. I would rent some more interesting episodes from Netflix if I knew which discs they were on.

I’d also like to see more episodes of the old I Led 3 Lives program. There was even one on how the Soviets were running a “nuclear bombing is affecting our climate and growing season in America” campaign to get us to stall our own nuclear testing while they caught up.

Jack Webb (Sgt. Friday) and Harry Morgan (Det. Gannon, he also played Col. Potter on MASH) on Dragnet were NOT FBI agents....they were detectives on the Los Angeles Police Department.
