His goal was to present unpretentious acting with gritty realism. He managed to achieve both with Dragnet. Cast of Dragnet TV ShowCast Trivia for the TV Show DragnetThe TV show Dragnet popularized the phrase “just the facts, ma’am.” But in actuality, it was never stated in those exact words on the show. Rather, the variations included “All we want are the facts, ma’am” and “All we know are the facts, ma’am.”Webb’s performance of Sergeant Friday was so convincing that, at the height of the show’s popularity, people would come to Los Angeles Police Department City Hall asking to speak to Sergeant Friday.
