Classic Jack Webb scene closer:
Cop 1 “Well, one thing’s for sure. . . “
Cop 2 “Yeah?”
Cop 1 “They guy who killed Henderson?”
Cop 2 “Yeah?”
Cop 1 “He knew he would be alone.”
DOM-DA-DOM-DOMMMMMM

Thanks for reminding me of that one. It’s another favorite. I like Webb’s low-key style and, always, black-and-white is always right.

I got to meet Kathy at a party once, and she’s exactly as funny, nice and smart in person as she is on her show. With the exception of whatever it is she’s done to her face; there is nothing phony about her.

Ooooh that big sweaty arm hammering out Jack’s production company’s mark.

Clang….CLAAANNNGGG

Yeah, “The D.I” would be on my list of all time great right-wing movies.
Also.

Webb also directed and starred in “-30-” a very Webb-like look at the world of the newspaper biz.

Webb also directed and starred in one of the best boot camp movies; “The D.I.” Both “Tribes” and “Full Metal Jacket” both owe a debt to Webb’s mostly-realistic portrayal of boot.

Exactly. Webb’s fingerprints are all over that series, even if he didn’t star in front of the camera.

I’m with misty3k on this one.

Patton Oswalt and Kathy Griffin are the funniest folks workin’ in the business right now. We’re big John Pinette fans as well.

Point two, Adam-12 was Martin Milner and Kent McCord. Webb was on Dragnet.

He also created Adam-12.

I may know too much about 40 year old television shows….
