Dragnet is an affectionate pastiche of the 1950 s detective series. Unlike the original, however, this is very much tongue-in-cheek and the end result is a fine (albeit not perfect) detective comedy that s well worth watching.

Boob tube classics have turned up on the silver screen for years. One looks back to the year 1987 for the film adaptation of the classic cop show "Dragnet." Directed by Tom Mankiewicz, who has enjoyed more fame as a writer by penning several of the Sean Connery-era James Bond films as well as collaborating on the first "Superman" script, "Dragnet" stars Dan Aykroyd ("The Blues Brothers") as Joe Friday the nephew of Jack Webb's character from.
