- TriviaJack Webb had intended to do another revival of the series in 1982. However, because of Harry Morgan's commitments to both M*A*S*H (1972) and its spin-off AfterMASH (1983), he didn't sign on for the proposed remake. Webb then decided to cast Kent McCord in the role of Friday's new partner; either as Jim Reed (the character McCord played on Adam-12 (1968)) or as a new character altogether. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition due to Webb dying of a massive heart attack in December 1982.
- GoofsHarry Morgan, the actor cast to play Officer Gannon, stood only 5'6", and would have failed the height requirement for LAPD officers at that time.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Dogs in Space (1986)

Featured review
OK, maybe this isn't the best show in television history, but it is a good one to watch. Even though I have seen every episode many times, I never get tired of watching it. After viewing the show all these years, it is fun to try and spot which of the many recurring actors and actresses appear in that episode--like the late Virginia Gregg!! She was a hoot to watch in many of the episodes.
It is also fun to see someone portray a cop or good guy in one episode and then play a villian in another episode. Now, even though this doesn't have anything to deal directly with any episode of Dragnet, I think that it was really nice how Jack Webb hired his ex-wife's husband in a few episodes and later was the producer of "Emergency" with his ex-wife Julie London and her husband Bobby Troup. I doubt very seriously that many people in Hollywood would be so mature and do that today.
