Dragnet - Vol. 1: 5 Episodes (1951)

Most often remembered for its famous theme music and iconic catchphrases, classic 1950s cop show DRAGNET was also responsible for changing the face of television in more important ways. By following the detailed investigative work of LAPD detective Sergeant Joe Friday (Jack Webb)--in storylines often lifted straight from real-life case files--DRAGNET marked television's transition from vaudeville-influenced comedy and employed a narrated, semi-documentary style that set a new standard for realism. This collection features five episodes from the groundbreaking series' first and second seasons: "The Big September," "The Big Seventeen," "The Big Show," "The Big Break," and "The Big Hands."
