Hello. I'm Suzy Dragnet, your resident Dragnet enthusiast and hostess.
I love the color run of Dragnet entirely without irony.

Jack: Hi, Suzy. I like what you've done with the blog.
Suzy: Thanks, it's been a joy. So nice to be pretend-interviewed by you on the blog today.
JW: What did you study at college?
SD: I studied architecture, of course.
JW: (Chuckles.) And your favorite architect of all time?
SD: Alvar Aalto, 100%.
JW: Would you know off-hand the color that the human eye can see the most variation in?
SD: Yes, I would. The color green. Human eyes can discern more shades and tints of green than other colors on the spectrum. It's the most maddening color, but it is still my favorite.
JW: You really are a college girl. Now that you are graduated, what is your hobby?
SD: Anything, really. Who wants coffee?
JW: Any other show you fancy?
JW: Lastly, what inspires you?
I discovered your blog by accident while looking for a specific image of Jack Webb. I immediately devoured all of the posts in order and suddenly I got mad. I mean like really fucking pissed. I had reached the end and there were no new ones left!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, love the blog. I thought I was the only one that just studied the crap out of those episodes!

Hi Ken,
DeleteThanks for the note. The episodes come out every Saturday. I've got over a year's worth of posts on the way!
I welcome any other feedback that you have. I'm glad you found us!

I like that blog, just found it tonight! Liike the way you look, specailly with the glasses! Wondering what you look like with your hair down!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this amazing blog! I still watch Dragnet everyday on CoziTV.
ReplyDeletea dragnet site !!!! more exciting than the episode that took place in joe's ' "pad" with the hibachi. i used to watch them with my dad in their first run, but couldn't really "appreciate" them then . too many things to elaborate on in first post, but i LOVE the stale , stilted nature of the whole ball of wax. i like(d) eero the most since i discovered architecture in the old "world book" encyclopedias in the early 1970's, but i liked all the modern scandinavians that i read about.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the site. Trying to think of the episode in which Friday and Gannon see a girl in a mini-skirt. G: I ask you, Joe: is that skirt too small. F: it's a little bit. G: can you imagine your mother wearing that? F: no but the again she is 80.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is great. You should watch the 80’s movie with Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks with Harry Morgan. It’s pretty great to the original show. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAre you still alive Suzy? anymore blogging?
ReplyDeleteWhere are you Suzy? I'ev just discovered your blog while watching Dragnet S3, I'm in love with all of the details and we want you back !!!! Where are you
ReplyDeleteI am scared this domain will expire and the site will die. Suzy where are you??
ReplyDeleteI'm here! Everything is ok! Not to worry.
DeleteGood news. Nods and exits room at a crisp pace. Please, write more!
DeleteHowdy Suzy! Had to stop by and mention how much I've enjoyed reading your blog so far. Over the past year or so, I've really become a huge fan of Dragnet, to the point where A) I can say "Oh, it's the _____ episode" when one is starting, and B) my co-workers know at 0430 it's time for an hour of Dragnet on MeTV. Had to mention, I've been partially inspired by your blog to start one of my own, where I discuss the overlap of actors in four of my favorite television shows from this era: Dragnet, Highway Patrol, Perry Mason, and The Twilight Zone. There's a couple of folks that appear in 3 out of the 4, and there are some additional wildcards like Emergency!
ReplyDeleteI yell at flags.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is a form of heaven to me. Thank you. I rewatch the color Dragnet every few years and next time I will do it with this as a companion. Meanwhile I am checking out all my favorite episodes. I admire the love and sensibility that you brought to your examination of Dragnet. I am so grateful for your work and your keen sense of style. And thank you for leaving the blog up so we can enjoy it whenever we watch the show.
ReplyDeleteThis is the single greatest thing I've ever found on the internet. Although I love Dragnet in all of its incarnations, from the radio show onward, the Friday/Gannon version is what first drew me in as a kid, and it will always be my favorite. Bless you, and please come back!
