Try to pass this test about the Dragnet episode ''The Big High''

The Sixties generational divide lies at the heart of this shocking episode.

 

Few television shows capture the generational divide of the late-1960s quite like Dragnet. The color reboot of the police procedural, which cast Harry Morgan as Bill Gannon alongside Jack Webb's Joe Friday, was at its heart a battle between the Greatest Generation and the Boomers. In hindsight, part of the pleasure of watching the series is seeing just how the tables have turned these days.

In just about every episode, Joe Friday delivers a soliloquy about the ills of modern society, "young people today," hippies' blatant disregard of norms, etc. The very first episode, "The LSD Story," warned about the dangers of psychedelics. Later that same year, Dragnet 1967 tackled marijuana in a similar episode titled "The Big High."

It's one of the most unforgettable episodes of Dragnet. So… how well do you remember it?

I don’t even remember this episode. Did poor on the quiz. It’s sad that those drugs were around then and so many more added since then. Only got 5 right.

The weed must have been HELLA STRONG back in the day for that to happen......totally not realistic at all.

Dragnet was based on actual cases. So, this actually happened.

8 out of 12. All guesses. I haven't seen Dragnet in years. It is the best police show, though. But these days I just watch sitcoms like I Love Lucy.

Ok I have to ask all you experts, the Gunsmoke Episodes in B/W are way better than the color ones right or is just me?

If any cop show could be considered pure propaganda, Dragnet would be it!
