114.0. "Dragnet" by CSC32::K_BOUCHARD () Sat May 01 1993 05:37

    "Dragnet" re-runs are currently seen on Nickelodeon. These are the ones
    with Harry whatshisname as Jack Webb's partner. Wasn't the series
    originally in B/W with a different partner? Wonder why "Nick" doesn't run
    those? You know,they're always ranting about "Our TV heritage and all.

    Harry Morgan, better known by millions of viewers as Col. Sherman T.
    Potter of the M*A*S*H TV series.  He did play in quite a few old
    westerns too but is best remembered by these two roles.

  As I recall, the old partner was named Frank. Dragnet went off the air in
the early or mid '68's. When it came back as Dragnet '68, the guy who played
Frank was busy with another series so they got Harry Morgan to play the part
of the new partner.

  At least that's the way I remember it, I may be off, it was 25 years ago.

    The earliest episodes of the second Dragnet incarnation show up on Nick
    at Night as "Dragnet 1967."
    
    I can't think of the name of Jack Webb's first partner either...but if
    trivia memory serves me correctly, he was the same guy who played the
    part on radio. (Yup, "Dragnet" was a radio series before it went to
    TV.)

  Detective Frank Smith.

  I'm pretty sure of that.
