Dragnet 1970: Season Four

Dragnet Season 4 (1970) review.
Just watched all of the episodes of Season 4 of Dragnet. Some great episodes here - my favs include

Personnel: The Shooting
Juvenille: The Little Pusher (Kid comes from a home of "dopers")
Burglary: Courtroom
Bunco: $9,000 (LOL @ some of the lines - "It was hot in LA and Bill just had hot dogs" LOL)
Narco: Missing Hype
A.I.D.: The Weekend (Bill invites Joe to stay with him for the weekend)
Forgery: The Ranger
D.H.Q.: Night School (or as I call it "The Red Sweater" episode)
I.A.D.: The Receipt
Robbery: The Harrassing Wife (where a wife tries Friday's patience LOL!)
D.H.Q.: The Victims (features Friday chewing out a rookie cop)

Shout! Factory once again brings us the goods with the "Rest" of the 60's Dragnet. The menu graphics are the same as the previous two seasons. There's a bonus feature of Jack Webb and Harry Morgan (with a fancy moustache) from a 70s episode of Jack Benny's Farewell Show....

So...

This is the city. I work here.
Thank you shout factory for releasing these seasons of dragnet. And thank you to all the other fans for voicing your desire to have this entire series released. It's a shame that only four seasons were produced because this is my all time favorite show. I started watching it on nick at nite when I was six or seven and I've been hooked ever since. This isn't my favorite season of the show but all four seasons are equally good. This does contain my favorite episode though. Starring the late Jill Banner playing three different roles in one episode. Picture and sound quality are excellent just like previous shout releases. The packaging has changed from slim line cases in a box to a keep case with flip disc holders. Like the CBS releases ala the untouchables, the fugitive, happy days etc. I'm ao happy to have the entire series on DVD. Again thank you shout and dragnet fans.

Thank you SHOUT! Factory
It is so nice to have this to complete the series. So many of the topics are still relevant today. Jack Webb has taken a lot of criticism for his acting, but he is dead on as Joe Friday and Harry Morgan is perfect as a serio-comic foil. Check out the episode where Bill invites Joe for the weekend. Friday actually laughs! Thanks again SHOUT! Whenever I have DRAGNET playing everyone in the house stops and watches.
