Dragnet (1954) (Amazon.com Exclusive) Review

While there are numerous DVDs with public domain episodes of the original Dragnet television series on the market today, this set (from Brentwood Home Video) is the one to get. Here's why . . .
1.Quantity - The 20 episodes included on this set represent the largest single collection of original Dragnet episodes released to date (August 2003).
2.Price/Value - At a retail of [$$ it is amazing].
3.Variety - There are some very well-known (and "common") episodes included like The Big Seventeen and The Big Producer, but there are some rarer episodes and one, The Big Frame, has not previously appeared on DVD. Since Amazon did not list the episode titles, I am including them below for Dragnet fans so that you can compare this collection of episodes with others:
Episodes - Disc 1/Side A
1.The Big September Man
2.The Big Seventeen
3.The Big Show
4.The Big Break
5.The Big Hands
Episodes - Disc 1/Side B
1.The Big Betty
2.The Big Thief
3.The Big Little Jesus
4.The Big Bird (mislabeled incorrectly on rear cover and the disc menu as The Big Trunk)
5.The Big Boys
Episodes - Disc 2/Side A
1.The Big Shoplift
2.The Big Hit-Run Killer
3.The Big Girl
4.The Big Frame
5.The Big Producer
Episodes - Disc 2/Side B
1.The Big Crime
2.The Big Pair
3.The Big Bar
4.The Big War
5.The Big Oskar
My five star rating is closer to four & one-half stars as this collection is not "problem free." While all of the episodes range, visually, from fair to very good, there has been no digital restoration of the prints utilized for this collection. All episodes are watchable, just don't expect to see pristine prints . . . you can expect some film scratches and specks. Audio is very good on almost all of the episodes. The episode "The Big War" is of noticeably lesser visual quality than the other episodes. There are no DVD "extras," but you can access individual episodes through a menu option. What shines through on this set is the brilliance of Jack Webb . . . even though most of the episodes were made 50 years ago, the documentary style approach that Webb employed to tell these stories is still better than most of today's television police shows. Highly recommended!!!
