L.A. Dragnet is the short-lived re-imagining of the seminal crime drama Dragnet. The series features Ed O' Neill (Married...With Children, Wayne's World) as Lt. Joe Friday and Ethan Embry (Empire Records, Vegas Vacation) as Detective Frank Smith. Homicides, corruption, and abduction cases were standard fare for episodes of the decidedly grittier take on the original series. Similar to the Jack Webb-produced, earlier incarnations of the show, L.A. Dragnet maintained an attention to detail and realism of the various investigations. It didn't hurt that veteran producer Dick Wolf (Law & Order, Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice) lent his trademark style to the show. Unfortunately, L.A. Dragnet never found a large enough audience to propel it into the same level as Wolf's previous shows. In season two, Embry was replaced by Desmond Harrington. Supporting cast includes Eva Longoria, Evan Parke, and Christina Chang. Any viewers curious if the updated Joe Friday still utters the classic phrase "Just the facts" will be happy to know all episodes of L.A. Dragnet are available online for free.MORE
