One thing's for sure...Jack Webb really knew how to squeeze the last drop out of material. I won a CD set of the Dragnet radio shows on Ebay that were broadcast from 1949-57, and I've recognized several of the plots as the same ones that were turned into TV episodes during the '67-'70 run.

The proposed and never to be made 1980's version of DRAGNET (which never happened because Webb died of a heart atack) was apparently going to 'update' several older scripts once again. Kent McCord would have been Jack's new partner. It's a shame he passed away before they could film some of these episodes. I don't know how long it would have lasted in the 80's unless they seriously updated the format. Plus, Jack was getting pretty old.
