Some may not realize Detectives Joe Friday and Frank Gannon wore the same suit on most episodes to help keep wardrobe cost down. They also used the same 20 or so actors on all the episodes including actors from Adam 12 and Emergency. RIP Jack and Harry and most of the cast

I'm British. British humour is a lot different to American humour and I never really took to American stand up comedians. The one exception however was Jack Benny. I thought he was great. Just the way he stood there and his facial expressions plus his often dead pan delivery of great material was simply marvelous and exccedingly funny. I don't know too much about him, but he seemed a really decent stand up guy and I would think him to be exactly the opposite of mean in real life.

Yeah Jack passed away in 82 before he could get a series to the ground. Though the movie with Tom Hanks is actually an affetionate homage to the TV show.

Jack Webb was working to bring it back with Kent McCord from "Adam 12," who would've been the new partner (as Harry Morgan was unavailable). But Webb died unexpectedly of a heart attack just before Christmas in 1982.

Idk it might be better there wasn't, I can only imagine how Webb would looked & sounded by then. All them cigs & boozing aged him pretty poorly
