Woman: “Thanks to a maverick Senator from Arizona we keep detailed records. Do you have a date?”

Sheesh! Talk about desperately and unsubtly inserting political agendas into TV drama situations where they don't belong! Funny, I don't recall the ORIGINAL Joe Friday inserting politics into Dragnet. I get the feeling that the ORIGINAL Joe Friday was a conservative Republican (impossible to imagine him as a liberal Demmycrat) but he never did clumsily insert politics into the show.

There was also a gratutitous slap at "Born Agains" by Det. Joe Friday. Both my wife & I caught the "Maverick Senator" remark and just shook our heads. We wanted to give the "new" Dragnet a try, in deference to the original that we grew up on, but we may not tune in again.

I don't watch any of those shows and I hope others will ignore them into the trash heap too.

Dragnet is just one example of the liberal left injecting their political bias into dramatic shows. Even Law & Order has become riddled with liberal pap. Mr. Sterling, starring Striesand's hubby's son, is designed to spew leftist politics in the guise of entertainment and will undoubtedly stay on the air whether or not it achieves a decent rating. The Practice is another show that has become totally unwatchable.

Slowly but surely, my tv set is gathering cobwebs.

I have never watched the "New" Dragnet because of ed o'neill. Does anyone know if Jack Webb,the original Joe Friday,was a conservative? He seemed like he might have been.

It's the same crap on the cop shows where the cop finds that a "registered" gun has been used in a crime. Look up the owner's name, and voila!, the perp is found.

As reported by the great Deborah Orin in yesterday's NY Post, of all the members in Congress with PACs, the hypocrite McCain keeps the highest percentage for himself and distributes the least to others. Look at the final paragraphs in this column:

My hat is off to the people from the MRC, who have to watch all that horrible television. Better them than me.

Leftist political tripe doesn't creep into shows, it gallops !

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".
