Episode 78: Dragnet - The Big Thank You

Hello and welcome back to the time machine. I apologize for my long absence but I have had a nasty case of laryngitis for the past week. I am happy to return for a special week here on the time machine. As it is my birthday week I have decided to do a special of one of my favorite shows Dragnet. Over the last several months I have listened to the first 100 episodes of the show spanning from June 1949 to July 1951.

This week we will cover my top five favorite episodes from the first run. I have featured some episodes in the first 100 already, but we will consider those honorable mentions as this list is in no particular order.

Today we will start with our first case of the week as we join Sgt Joe Friday on yet another case from real police files. In this particular case, a woman who was previously paroled after the murder of her husband is on the run. Your job, find her.

So please, sit back, relax, and travel back to back to March 9th, 1950 and what I believe to be the 32nd episode of Dragnet with The Big Thank You.
