I absolutely love Dragnet, especially when Jack Webb's character starts in on someone with one of his speeches. There is a ton of humor in that show. He does seem to have a rep company on the show, some of the regulars are always perps, some are not.

I love how all the sets are so minimal, if they walk into a bar there are three bottles on the shelf and two tables. It's as though the production designer for The Flintstones dressed the sets.

I keep about 20 of my favorites on the DVR to enjoy when there is nothing on.
