It is Black Friday, but I am staying here. Catching up on my Blog. It is time to talk about an even better Friday. Joe Friday, the Detective Sergeant from the T.V. Dragnet. He was played by the multi talented, Jack Webb. It is said that Friday's character coined the catch phrase, "just the facts ma'ma. This is not true. Friday actually said in an early episode is "All we want are the facts." Friday, as portrayed by Webb, never actually said the oft-repeated phrase. Indeed, it was more Stan Freberg's parodies of the Dragnet series that popularized the phrase. His Badge was number 714. Dragnet has been remade a couple of times. First in a Movie and than later in attempt to bring it back to T.V. Ed O'Neill starred as Joe Friday in the remake. Dragnet was so popular it has it's own spin-off, Adam-12.
