Each story required Johnny to travel to some distant locale, usually within the United States but sometimes abroad, where he was almost always threatened with personal danger in the course of his investigations.

The very name of this show (Father Knows Best) makes modern day critics sneer as they say "this show is an idealized version of American life in the 50's". Its time for a NEWS FLASH. In 1950 this show really did reflect the average American family complete with a mom, dad, and three kids. Dad provided the only income and the family had all they needed on an average one person income. . Mom saw her job as mother and homemaker. Actually, life was a whole lot easier back in 1952. In the first of th...

Dragnet , the brainchild of Jack Webb, may very well be the most well-remembered, and the best, radio police drama series. From September, 1949 through February 1957, Dragnet 's 30 minute shows, broadcast on NBC, brought to radio true police stories in a low-key, documentary style. The origins of Dragnet can be traced to a semi-documentary film, "He Walked by Night" from 1948, in which Webb had a small role. Both employed the same Los Angeles Police Department technical adviser, used actual poli...
