Where To Watch
Who said it: Sgt. Joe Friday or Officer Pete Malloy?
Which LA-based policeman said these lines?
This is the city, Los Angeles, California.
That's an obvious one! It's the first thing you hear on every episode of Dragnet, and it came from Sgt. Joe Friday, played by creator Jack Webb.
Officer Pete Malloy from Adam-12 was in a different role than Friday, but his wise wisdom and advice to Officer Jim Reed often had a crossover feel with Joe Friday. In fact, the two shows had crossovers from time to time, making it difficult to tell which officers were in which show!
To test your knowledge of these iconic police personnel, try to choose which character said the following lines correctly. Did Sgt. Joe Friday from Dragnet say it, or was it Officer Pete Malloy from Adam-12?
Good luck!

I got 100 percent! Some I just guessed at.
10 out of 10. Some of those I remembered from episodes of both series, a couple of them near the end were out-and-out narrations by Friday.

Technically speaking, since Jack Webb was the producer of both shows, those lines are all Jack Webb's lines.
7 of 10. Not too bad considering they were almost all guesses!
