Dragnet 1969,
By
This review is from: Dragnet: 1969 - Season 3 (DVD)
Another great job by Shout! Factory on this release of Dragnet 1969. Video and sound quality are very good, bonus material includes a black and white episode of Dragnet from November 10th, 1955 "The Big Smoke" as well as a couple of P.S.A's (public service announcements) featuring Jack Webb. For those of you interested in this series, Shout! Factory has just announced that Dragnet 1970, the 4th & final season of this series will be released on April 12, 2011. It is now available on Amazon.com for pre-order. Let's hope it becomes available for pre-order on Amazon.ca soon.

MORE THAN "JUST THE FACTS",
By
This review is from: Dragnet: 1969 - Season 3 (DVD)
Another season -- just one more to go. Gannon is always a hoot, and Friday is so serious all the time it's funny. Some very good episodes, but there are quite a few "talking" ones where the script was essentially written to tell us a message -- sometimes they essentially sit through the entire show.Many good episodes. The one covering the police's reaction to the murder of Martin Luther King was good. If you want action, this is not it. It's about procedure. Still entertaining, and I look forward to the next set. Some nice extras on the box help, too. Good value. Quality of video is good and the sound is fine.

Once Again, Beware of Edits,
By Manthony - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dragnet: 1969 - Season 3 (DVD)
When Shout Factory released Dragnet 1968, for some reason they decided to trim off the first 3 minutes of the Pilot Dragnet movie. For the release of Dragnet 1969, the scissors are back out for more trims.The episode "Narcotics- DR-16" clocks in at 20:10. The opening has Jack Webb do a short "This is the City, I carry a Badge" and goes straight to the opening titles. In the original, Jack talks about Century City, the Bunker Hill developent and a look at some of the Performing Theatres in L.A. I don't know what else is missing from the episode, but there's over 4 minutes missing. The episode is suppose to run 25:30. The episode "The Joy Riders" is only 24:30. This episode was originally suppose to be the final episode of the previous season, but was pre empted due to the assassination of Martin Luthor King. It finally aired during Season 3, but why is it only 24:30? All of the other Season 2 episodes run between 25:00 and 25:30. I don't understand why Shout continues to release edited Dragnet DVDs, but I think they're doing a poor job. 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful

Again Worth the Cost- Thank You SHOUT,

Since SHOUT took over the dvd production of Dragnet, the quality has been GREAT! Like Dragnet 1968 SHOUT has placed bonus material on one of the disks. For this version disk 1 has a rare 1954 Dragnet episode (I forgot the name not being at home as I write this), two Jack Web PSA announcements on Social Security along with Muscular Distrophy and a promo for Dragnet 1969. The quality of these bonus features are not restored. The rest of the disks look great and has the same selection format as Dragnet 1968. For the price this is a worth the purchase and a nice way to finish off the Dragnet series. The 69 Dragnet has quite a few episodes on Juvenile cases and if you are as old as I am you, know the bright colors used on clothes and household items at that time. Often I judge the quality of the dvd processing by the crispness of bright colors and the luminance transition from bright to dark. The dvd's are beautiful. There is very little color smear and the colors tend to be slightly warm. The fourth dvd when the Gannons drop by Friday's apartment for dinner is a good example of this. Bill Gannon's wife Rita is wearing a yellow-green suit, notice how crisp the colors are and when the neighbors drop by the apartment for a party (toward the end) notice all the different colors and see how they track (no smearing or fading). SHOUT did a nice job. THANK YOU!!!!!

Not a good reflection upon the series!!,
By Bertram G. Moshier - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dragnet: 1969 - Season 3 (DVD)
My low rating is NOT a reflection upon this wonderful and outstanding series!! Sgt. Friday should arrest the producers of this box set, send them to the CDC, put them into one of the CDC Prisoner uniforms, and leave them on the yard. The quality of this DVD box set does not do this wonderful series justice.I thought the first season box set was a joke coming on two disc that are double sided, but season three (the second box sex I examined) takes the cake! While it comes on single sided disc, which allows for art work, the transfer is of low quality in the resolution for DVD / Blu-Ray and is providing washed out color in many places. The worst, though, for our deaf citizens and those in a crowd (as I say the bar impaired) is the lack of sub-titles. At least season one has sub-titles and has quality transfer. The sub-titles exist for the series, as my local TV station has cut versions of these episodes with sub-titles. One expects a DVD box set for a season to have the uncut and sub-titled episodes, after all not everyone has perfect hearing or is in a quiet situation. I give the series 5 stars and this DVD box set .5 stars for an overall rating of 2 stars. The ONLY reason to buy this DVD box set is because you're a Dragnet fan and it is the only game in town. Hopefully, once the series (as with Twelve O'Clock High) goes into the public domain, someone will do a better version of season 3. |
