|Starring Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday and his partner solving actual cases from the files of the Los Angeles Police Department. Great use of law enforcement jargon by the officers while educating the public on the Rule of Law. Showed fine examples of moral conduct, honor of self/others and sacrifice for the good of the public.

|Spinoff of Webb-produced "Dragnet", also based on actual cases, this time focusing on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed. Often more than one situation per episode. Same good examples as "Dragnet". Was remade into a limited (L.A. and N.Y.C. aired) syndication series in 1990-1991 with less known main players, new characters and new situations. All three of its main players (Martin Milner, Kent McCord, William Boyett) are still or have stayed married to their same wives, with nine children between them (Milner had 4 kids, McCord had 3 and Boyett (who died in 2004 at 77) had 2).
