4.0 out of 5 stars 1950s Dragnet series is a winner, April 10 2003
By Robert Huggins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragnet (DVD)
This might not be the very best Dragnet DVD available on the market today, but it does feature four good episodes, including:

1. The Big Show
2. The Big Shoplift
3. The Big Hit-Run Killer
4. The Big Crime

Dragnet focused on the methodical procedures used by the police to solve cases and employed a documentary film approach to tell its stories. The 1950s black & white version of Dragnet is generally recognized as being superior to the color version that appeared in the late 1960s and was largely based on the radio version of Dragnet that began in the late 1940s. Although Sgt. Joe Friday (Dragnet creator Jack Webb) had several different partners in the 1950s series, all episodes on this DVD feature Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith, arguably Friday's best known partner, and certainly the best known of the 1950s version.

All of the episodes included are in the public domain and so you will find them on other Dragnet DVDs. However, the episode "The Big Crime" is tougher to find than the others and deals with the crime of child molestation, which is somewhat surprising to see in a 1950s television series.

The video images and audio from this Alpha Video release are generally good, though the episode "The Big Show" has some print damage in the early goings. Expect to see some film speckles and the occasional scratches on each of the episodes. That said, this is a decent release for fans of the original Dragnet television series.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 Classic Episodes, Oct 16 2005
By James Bair - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragnet (DVD)
Dragnet, Volume 1 (Classic TV Series). Dragnet Volume 1 features four classic episodes. The original titles and airdates:

Episode One: THE BIG SHOPLIFT (3/11/54)
Episode Two: THE BIG HIT-RUN KILLER (3/18/54)
Episode Three: THE BIG SHOW (1/22/53)
Episode Four: THE BIG CRIME (9/9/54)

Transfer quality is good on this DVD. Worth every penny.
