The absence of music, which in the 50's could be pretty bombastic gives a more serious and timeless feel. Everett Sloan is just so good, you can really tell when you hear the same stories done with James Gregory. slumpybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703025455636805117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730506450510174085.post-12863335542600191932013-01-23T14:47:06.551-05:002013-01-23T14:47:06.551-05:00Yes, I will continue to listen.

Look at the actors who play the parts in the show - they are all seasoned players, Everett Sloan was one of the original members of the Mercury Theater. Ken Lynch is the detective and he is always stark and gritty (in the Dragnet vein.) I haven't found an episode I don't LOVE. If the sound were better, I'm sure I'd do a website about it. It's amazing. I hope you keep listening to it.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727628684761174393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730506450510174085.post-35014136535630814772013-01-23T10:58:52.710-05:002013-01-23T10:58:52.710-05:00I have just started listening to 21st Precint. I ...I have just started listening to 21st Precint. I am glad you open my eyes to this show (or should I say 'ears.') I still lean toward Dragnet as being better, but, I think it is because I know their characters better. The more I listen to 21st I should be more knowledgable to their characters. Part of radio listening is to recognize the voice and thus know who they are. Preston of the Yukon and Lone Ranger are examples of what I am saying. You turn it on and right away you know who they are. Same with Dragnet and its crew. I do not have the same relationship with 21st, but, I expect it will come as I listen to more shows.Boston Blackienoreply@blogger.com
