Hmmm. That sounds artificially electronic, like MIDI music and it sure ain't the real narrator. Try this one instead. It's the real McCoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx5GwULPU90
Well, as someone was pointing out at NoirCon 2010, it was both a landmark and more than a bit of a fraud at the same time. Jack Webb had a mixed bag of instincts, to say the least.

Yup, that ain't an original "Danger Ahead"...the narrator alone sounds like a Dan Aykroyd wannabe, much less a Mark VII staffer.
The original orchestration, for radio and tv:

Oh, this show has become so culturally iconic.
I remember watching Dragnet (The '67-'70 version) for laughs in the 80s. I was into camp classics and Joe Friday fit the bill.
One of the greatest shows ever, whether you watched it seriously or for the cheese factor David describes.
