Al Bundy as Joe Friday? Need I say more? Jack Webb was really anti-drug, but he also inserted a lot of anti-gun propaganda into the original "Dragnet".

[PJ-Comix]

In 1987, Universal produced a campy, comedic Dragnet feature film -- but explicitly remained respectful of the Webb character and legacy.

Funny movie but, true, it was a tribute to Jack Webb's character of Joe Friday. Dan Ackroyd parodied Joe Friday but did NOT mock him.

Ah. Thanks. Missed that part.

Really, though, can we be surprised? Witness Dick Wolf's other series (Law and Order). I watch it through a 'catholic lens' and I notice:

1.) Priests are all either hindering, or the object of, investigation.
2.) The only good catholic cop is a pro choice catholic cop.
3.) The only good catholic lawyer... see 2)
4.) The confessional should be violated for the good of the State.
5.) Pro-life people are either starry eyed, mindless dupes of powerful, manipulative people, or they're hypocrites secretly getting an abortion.
6.) If a murder occurs within two miles of an abortion mill, it was obviously the pro-lifer. Save the state the cost, and shoot 'em now.

Need I continue?
