    This episode illustrates that Jack Webb was ahead of his time in one respect.

    This is a different kind of review (although this is one of the better Dragnet episodes). As noted in the trivia section of the IMDb page on this episode, this show featured black real estate professionals, which was rare for a late 60's show.

    Jack Webb, who has the reputation for being starchy and conservative, was actually quite progressive for that time period. If you watch Dragnet regularly, you will see black real estate agents, judges, lawyers, doctors, and nurses. Black criminals are somewhat uncommon. In one episode, the Lieutenant giving directions to Sgt. Friday is black, and Sgt. Friday is clearly displaying respect.

    Moreover, the black professionals portrayed in the show are not stereotyped. They are well dressed and clearly well educated.

    Yes, at times Dragnet can be inadvertently campy (e.g. "Blue Boy"), but we should also note Webb's willingness to portray blacks in a positive manner (and to make them the victims of crime, rather than the criminals).

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The portrayal of Black professional people in a predominantly White show was unusual in the 1960s. However, Jack Webb had long been very outspoken against racism, even doing a radio series in 1946 called "One Out of Seven" that specifically addressed the issue of racism in every episode. FACT CHECK: This was because Webb was "passing": it is a major error to call this a "White show" considering that its main star and creator, Jack Webb, was half-Indian (mother) and half-Askenahzi (on his father's side), and also covertly was very much left-wing. This is witnessed by the many liberal themes he always included to this show, such as hiring minorities (OJ episode) pausing on newspaper headlines promoting the legalization of illicit drugs in major close-ups, or writing ample monologues defending such stance through his bad guy characters (The Prophet etc.). This is called "infiltrating" and "hiding in plain sight". This is how they took over Hollywood and converted conservative viewers' opinion. Of the same persuasion as Webb, Michael Landon did the same with Highway to Heaven.

      When Friday and Gannon go to Jackson & Martin's Super Service station (to check on the missing woman), on the building (over the bays) it says: WHEEL ALINEMENT (misspelling). It should have read: WHEEL ALIGNMENT.
