''Dragnet'' is an American radio, television and motion picture series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects. ''Dragnet'' is perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of police work. ''Dragnet'' earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers.〔On a March, 1953 episode, the Detroit Police Officers' Association gave ''Dragnet'' a commendation, citing the program's efforts at increasing public esteem of policemen, and furthermore describing Dragnet as the "finest and most accurate" police program on radio or television.〕 Actor and producer Jack Webb's aims in ''Dragnet'' were for realism and unpretentious acting; he achieved both goals, and ''Dragnet'' remains a key influence on subsequent police dramas in many media. The show's cultural impact is such that after five decades, elements of ''Dragnet'' are familiar to those who have never seen or heard the program: *The ominous, four-note introduction to the brass and tympani theme music (titled "Danger Ahead") is instantly recognizable (though its origins date to Miklós Rózsa's score for the 1946 film version of ''The Killers''). *Another ''Dragnet'' trademark is the show's opening narration: "Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent." This underwent minor revisions over time. The "only" and "ladies and gentlemen" were dropped at some point, and for the television version "hear" was changed to "see". Variations on this narration have been featured in subsequent crime dramas, and in parodies of the dramas (e.g. "Only the facts have been changed to protect the guilty"). ==Radio== (詳細はRobert Stack --> 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dragnet (franchise)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
