DRAGNET/NBC/1952-59/1967-70
    [The series memorable theme song which began with the "Dum-de-dum-dum" was written by Walter Schumann.]

    [George Fenneman as Narrator] "Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent." (Voice of Jack Webb) "This is the city. Los Angeles, California. I work here... I'm a cop." 

    [Revised opening] "This is the city. Los Angeles, California. I work here. I carry a badge. My name's Friday..."

    Following this opening, Joe gave details of the episode. ("It was Thursday, February 9. It was rainy in Los Angeles. We were working homicide... (etc.)" At the conclusion of the show announcer George Fenneman closed the show saying "The story you have just seen is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent."

    [Closing]  A muscular arm holding a hammer slammed down to chisel the Webb's MARK VII production logo into stone. TRIVIA NOTE: The phrase "I carry a badge" replaced the original "I'm a cop" intro phrase because some police officers voiced their displeasure at the show using the term "cop." The Children's Television Network production of SQUARE ONE/PBS/1987 featured a segment called "Mathnet." This parody of DRAGNET starred a droll female investigator who remarked "My name is Monday...I'm a Mathematician." A classic Stan Freberg parody entitled "St. George and the Dragonet" began "The legend you are about to hear is true--only the needle should be changed to protect the record."

A man he had never seen before. A man who has not yet been found. Richard Kimble ponders his fate as he looks at the world for the last time. And sees only darkness. But in that darkness, fate moves its huge hand." 

    [Voice of William Conrad on regular opening] "The Fugitive...a QM Production...starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife, reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him on route to the death house, freed him to hide in lonely desperation, to change his identity, to toil at many jobs, freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime, freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture...Tonight's Episode..."
