| − | |This spinoff of the Jack Webb-produced series ''Dragnet'', also based on actual cases and more than one per episode, now focuses on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed while demonstrating the same moral examples as ''Dragnet''. It was remade into a limited (Los Angeles and New York City) syndication show in 1989-1991 with unknown main players, new characters, and situations. None of the original series' three main players (Martin Milner, Kent McCord, William Boyett) ever fell victim to Hollywood Values: Milner and McCord stayed married to their same wives with whom were the only mothers of all their children between them. And despite his first marriage (1947-1950) to Willagene Wither ending in divorce, Boyett's second marriage in 1957 to Joan Amelia Reynolds lasted until his death in 2004, age 77, with nine children between them: Milner (who died in 2015 at age 83) had four, McCord had three, and Boyett (who died in 2004 at age 77) had two (with Joan) and became a grandfather twice over. The 1969 Season 2 episode, "Baby", is said to have been based on Kent McCord's own real life wife's birth of one of their own children that year. | + | |This spinoff of the Jack Webb-produced series ''Dragnet'', also based on actual cases and more than one per episode, now focuses on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed while demonstrating the same moral examples as ''Dragnet''.
