Dragnet
Introduced my grandchildren to this since they love the television show. They have enjoyed listening to the program and were amazed that people could "act" for radio.

Dragnet: The Big Rain
The strongest Dragnet collection you have compiled. Great combination of story lines and excellent accompaniment to Jack Webb in the guise of Ben Alexander.

The Big Rain.
The Big Awesome!! Love Dragnet Jack Webb uses sound incredibly and the Dragnet pattern, building to a punchline delivered by Friday is golden. My fave moments: when Friday and Smith make with the quotidian chit chat.

The Big Dragnet
Extremely entertaining as always. I especially like the banter between Joe and Frank at the beginning of most episodes. I own all the Dragnet CD's available and wish there were more. Highly recommended.
