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.

I don’t remember the episode name but one of the most touching was of a criminal whose little girl is dying of cancer. Despite being a criminal he is a good Father.

She dies and he has no way to provide a funeral. The police chaplain takes over.
