9. Dragnet was the bestest show ever! read this article about Jack Webb

http://www.forbisthemighty.com/acidlogic/im_jack_webb.htm

Jack Webb hated hippies. He believed they were bad people and wanted to do all he could to insure that they remained a late sixties/early seventies phenomenon. And he knew exactly what he had to do - He had to bring back "Dragnet".

"Dragnet" was no mere TV show and Jack Webb was no run of the mill Hollywood ass kiss. "Dragnet" was nothing less than a full scale covert intelligence operation and Jack Webb its Supreme Commander. I wouldn't be surprised to find out one day that - Hell, I would be damn proud - the whole thing was funded by the FBI, the CIA, the INS - All the good people that the pussies who used to be hippies want you to think are more to blame for the World Trade Center attack than Al Qaeda (They hate Al Capp more than they hate Al Qaeda ). Before Jack Webb called it back into ActiveDuty in the late sixties, "Dragnet" had been a hit black and white series in the fifties and a radio series before that.

Jack Webb got his start as a radio announcer in San Francisco after serving in the United States AirForce. Webb's voice was pretty much all he had going for him as an actor. All he could handle physically was walk in, talk back and forth with somebody else, and then walk back out. Sometimes Webb would be the one who was already in the room and would remain motionless as someone else walked in, talked back and forth with him, and then walked out. But you can still be a big TV star with even as minimal acting skills as that if you have a really cool, deep, manly, tough guy voice like Jack Webb did. Well, of you have a really cool, deep, manly, tough guy voice AND you produce, write, and direct the whole show with your own production company like Jack Webb did.

As for Webb's looks - Yeah, the hippies were right about one thing (And one thing only.), Jack Webb looked a lot like Richard Nixon. Hey, I'm no h*** - But compared to Hubert Humphrey, George Wallace, and anybody else running for President in 1968 Richard Nixon was A Cool Rockin' Daddy In The USA! Anyway, this was the sixties - Mick Jagger and Ringo Star were Sex Gods in those days and NBC was airing full color close ups of Davey Jones during prime time so they could sure as hell let Jack Webb get away with a few. At least we didn't have to watch JackWebb lip sync while banging a tambourine against his hip.

28. Underrated

Oh sure, there were a couple of "Reefer Madness" episodes. But I still love to watch the episodes where he sticks it to neo-nazis, bigots and sociopaths.

Friday: "You know how you're always complaining about minorities?"

Nazi: "Yeah"

Friday: "Well mister, you're a psychopath. They're a minority too."
