If they do pick up the show I hope they do more with Sgt. Tartaglia, or maybe a different actor or interpretation. He seemed kind of stiff using them, though–there wasn’t the human, slightly comical touch that Charles Calvert had. I would hope they’d have him talking about his family more.

I’d think they could add things to original episodes to make them fit the hour-long format, and write new episodes to fit with the 1950s.

I wonder if a 1950′s L.A. police lieutenant would have looked as casual as Danny did in this–the guys in Dragnet always were all buttoned up with their ties fastened securely and hats on most of the time, and their hair neatly combed. But whether or not Jon Jacobs attire was authentic to the times, it really fits Danny Clover, who seemed like he probably slept at the office several nights a week.

Anyway, it would be cool if this got picked up by a network.
