It was the Dragnet Christmas story that kept on giving.
"The Big Little Jesus" first debuted on the Dragnet radio program that preceded the television show. "The Big Little Jesus" first ran on December 22, 1953. It was re-broadcast on December 21, 1954 and December 25, 1956. It made its television debut on December 24, 1953, as the seventeenth episode of the show's third season. It starred Jack Webb, Ben Alexander, Harry Bartell, Joe Carioca Jr., James Griffith, Ralph Moody, Herb Vigran, Walter Sande, and Billy Chapin. In the show's successor series, Dragnet 1967, it was redone and re-christened "The Christmas Story." That aired on December 21, 1967, and starred Jack Webb and Harry Morgan, and then practically the same cast! Bartell, Moody, and Vigran return, along with newcomers Bobby Troup, Byron Morrow, William Challee, Fernando Vásquez, Craig Huxley, and The Brady Bunch's Barry Williams.
It's all about a missing statue of the Christ child that goes away from its manger right on the eve of ... well, Christmas Eve.
We also review "The Big .22" Rifle for Christmas." It's the seventh episode of Dragnet's second season, and it aired on December 18, 1952. Like "The Big Little Jesus," it was repeatedly aired in the radio version of the show as well. It was first broadcast December 22, 1949, and then re-recorded and put out again on December 21, 1950. That second version also aired on December 20, 1951. It was re-recorded a third time and aired again on December 21, 1952. Versions also ran on December 20, 1955 and March 20, 1956.
The television version stars Jack Webb, Herbert Ellis, John Martin, June Whitley Taylor, Sammy Ogg, Virginia Christine, Renny McEvoy, and Olan Soule. This is a tragic, gutting Dragnet Christmas tale about a gift that goes awry for two families. It's well-written, gripping, and not funny at all. But it gets at the themes of loss and forgiveness and family far better than its sillier counterpart.
Listen to Áine and Kevin carol on about twenty dollar gold pieces, M*A*S*H, Áine's jealousy of Julie London, and Jack Webb's podcasting career.
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate, and happy holidays to you all!

Dragnet is a 1954 film starring Jack Webb, along with Ben Alexander, Richard Boone, Virginia Gregg, Stacy Harris, Vic Perrin, and Ann Robinson. Richard Breen — the wordsmith behind The FBI Story — wrote this thing, and wow, does it show! Web plays Sergeant Joe Friday, everyone's favorite stiff, stern Los Angeles Police Department detective.
Friday and his partner Frank Smith get assigned the homicide of a low-level gangster. They proceed to repeatedly harass their suspects, based on rather flimsy evidence for over an hour. Along the way, they run into a prosecutor who plays a serial killer in a later Dragnet installment, snide grand jury liberals, a nerdy beatnik musician, and poker enthusiasts!
Áine and Kevin spout off rapid-fire responses around Dragnet's distinctive dialogue, overly-long shots, and the abuse of power.

It's a double Dragnet deal!
In this episode of Mystery to Me, we'll discuss two episodes of Dragnet 1967. The first one, "The LSD Story" or "The Big LSD" aired on January 12, 1967. The second, "Burglary: DR-31" aired on March 6, 1969.
In "The LSD Story," Joe Friday and his partner Bill Gannon must combat the scourge of acid, as personified by the maddening hippie drug dealer "Blue Boy." And in the "Burglary" episode, Friday and Gannon discover how nerdy interests can lead youths into a life of petty crime! Both shows focus on a troubled youngster whose desire to escape dull, dreary reality prompts them to both fall into a subculture that baffles Friday and run afoul of the law.
Listen to Áine and Kevin as they get far out on topics like Gene Roddenberry, S.E. Hinton, drug use, and male fantasy figures.

Adam-12 is a police procedural from the mind of Dragnet creator Jack Webb. The series stars Martin Milner as seasoned LAPD officer Pete Malloy and Kent McCord as the promising rookie Jim Reed.
This particular episode — "Log 174: Loan Sharks" — takes a bite out of the issue of organized crime employing violent debt collection methods. It's the first episode of the show's third season, and aired on September 19, 1970. Arthur Hunnicutt, Tim Rooney, William Boyett, and Kenneth Tobey also appear in this episode.
Basically, Malloy and Reed respond to a number of attacks at a Los Angeles factory, where a vicious pack of loan sharks are engaging in a feeding frenzy. The only person willing to speak out about the violence is car-obsessed, hippie-slang-slinging Jim Russell, the son of one of the workers. This episode also has an inexplicable and memorable sequence involving a drunk robber!
Listen to Áine and Kevin dive into the subjects of average working class Joes, cool cats, and cowboys.

Joe Friday of the LAPD redefines intelligence by targeting the dumbest terrorist alive.
"Intelligence: DR-34" is the twenty-seventh episode of the third season of Dragnet — also known as Dragnet 1969. This episode aired on April ,17 1969, and starred show creator Jack Webb as the stalwart Sergeant Joe Friday.
An awkward night school reunion takes a disturbing turn for Friday when a Scotch-swilling militiaman approaches him with a request. This right-wing nut-job wants LA's finest to illicitly secure him a special license, to aid in his international gun smuggling operation.
But not to fear. Despite the episode's title, this Minuteman wannabe is not long on brains. He comes from the same venerated tradition of American insurrectionist as the dolts who posted pictures of themselves breaking into the US Capitol on Facebook.
So any cat-and-mousing between the gunrunner and Friday comes off more like an adult demolishing a toddler in a game of Battleship. Listen to Áine and Kevin put their heads together on topics like hippies, Webb's politics, and uncomfortable interactions.

Ladies and gentlemen, the review you are about to hear is true. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent.
Dragnet 1966 is a 1969 made-for-TV movie starring Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Vic Perrin, and Virginia Gregg. This film helped bring about the Dragnet franchise's triumphant return to television, with creator and producer Webb once again starring as everyone's favorite stiff, Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Friday and his elderly partner Bill Gannon find themselves tracking down a serial killer who preys on single women and models. The investigation takes them everywhere from the Garden of Eden to the dregs of Dogtown, as well as in the path of a number of exasperating Angelenos.
Áine and Kevin deliver more than just the facts, ma'am, in this review of the flick, ranting about the meandering plot, the oddly-fascinating Friday, the flippant treatment of a horrific series of real-life murders, and, of course, those dang hippies!
Beware, this review contains spoilers!
