Just What I was Waiting For!!

WOW! What a treat to read! This is THE book about DRAGNET that I was waiting for! If you're a fan of either the radio or TV version you MUST get this book!! It's not a biography of Jack Webb, but has enough background on his formative years to understand where he came from, so to speak. It goes into much detail about the DRAGNET industry that Webb created. Michael, it was well worth the long wait....an EXCELLENT job! Thanks!

Finally Just the Facts About Webb!

Finally we now have a comprehensive look at the man behind Dragnet and all of those classic TV shows that we have grown to love. Michael Hayde's in depth portrayal of Webb covers everything we the hungry nostalgia buffs have been looking for. It is one of those books that you just can't seem to put down.

Just What I've Been Waiting For!!

I just put down my copy of this book and I can say after reading it and "Just the Facts Ma'am" - this is the book to read. The author, Michael Hayde, has really done his homework on this nice retrospective on Jack Webb and all the works he did before he died in 1982. While both books are good, the attention to detail is outstanding, making this Jack Webb book, in my opinion, the best ever written to date. This book covers Mr. Webb's associations, detailed history and traditions in the creation and production of Dragnet from its inception, to Adam-12 (1968-1975), Emergency!, Hec Ramsey, and many other Jack Webb related projects. Jack Webb's historic contributions to television production and filming is detailed nicely, outlining many aspects that have not been widely known. I couldn't put it down, and neither will you. Mr. Hayde's years of research really stands out, and there is also a section dedicated the terminology of the LAPD in that era as well. If your a fan of Jack Webb, the Los Angeles Police Department, and vintage cop shows, this book will make an outstanding addition to your collection.
