When I worked nights I used to listen to the KNX 1070 drama hour, 9pm (repeated at 2 am). Multiple old 50’s radio shows were rotated and I would love the nights they showcased Dragnet. Just reading the title: Dragnet. It made me think oh yea! Thanks for taking the time and effort to play these.

The guy giving the tip complimented Joe for coming up with the $ and “catching the pitch” without being asked outright, but he couldn’t have been any less subtle; he must have dropped a dozen plain hints.

Martin Milner as Bill Lockwood, I guess he looked young to play Lockwood on TV

I think Lockwood is my favorite partner after Romero. Not a fan of Frank Smith.
