The second Dragnet TV series has been announced for release on June 7. Premiering in 1967, the show ran for 4 seasons, and 98 episodes. The Dragnet series began as radio programs, then premiered on television in 1951 (8 seasons, 276 episodes). The show was revived in 1989 (2 seasons, 52 episodes), and again in 2003 (2 seasons, 22 episodes). The series followed Joe Friday and his partner as they cleaned up the streets of Los Angeles.
The 17 half-hour episodes from season 1 will be released in a 2 disc set, with a $39.98 suggested retail price. We can expect an English mono audio track, English, French and Spanish subtitles, and a full frame (1.33:1) picture. Universal has also announced that they will distribute a bonus audio CD with the original radio show program. It's not clear exactly what the radio program is (possibly the first program broadcast?). The radio program was broadcast from June, 1949 to Feb, 1957 (382 programs).
We'll have artwork when it's made available. Thanks to Scott Lovelace for the tip.
