Birthday remembrance - Jack Webb #botd This day is also recognized as the birthday of Sgt. Joe Friday.

Just the Facts Just the most unlikely man to ever be called Friday. Monday, maybe, or Wednesday, or Sunday so long as Sunday meant jacket and tie, church in the morning, second pew, Latin, anyone's confession but his own. Jack Webb, from the city, Los Angeles, carrying badge number 714, so dead pan not even Dan Akroyd could pull it off, taking his coffee simply black. No one cares anymore if the stories are true. No one cares if the names have been changed. No one tries to protect the innocent. Where are you Joe Friday when we need you? All we want are the facts. by Scott Owens

Inside back cover endpaper from a book version of Dragnet - 1957.

Jack Webb and Ben Alexander as Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Frank Smith in an episode of the original B&W Dragnet. The best, in my opinion. Frank Smith beats Bill Gannon any day to me.
