Dragnet

Opening each episode with its famous theme song, always delivering fascinating and fast-moving stories, DRAGNET profiles the cases of Sgt. Joe Friday, the tough-minded detective who did his job, with little glory or thanks. Drawing their stories directly from LAPD files, the show's documentary-like realism makes you feel like you're on the job with Friday - and the final shoot-out and capture of the criminal is even more exciting!
