Dragnet was not the original radio detective show, but in my opinion was definitely the best. Jack Webb (who also played Joe Friday) insisted on the absolute maximum realism for the show. I've read in several different places that Webb even insisted the sound techs go to the actual Los Angeles police station and record different police officers walking in the halls to and from the offices mentioned in the shows just to be sure the sounds were realistic enough. Every single episode of this show is a winner. Enjoy!
