After Jeff Regan, Joe Friday was a natural

On radio, Jack Webb played the title role in the series, Jeff Regan, Investigator. Regan was a wisecracking, sarcastic guy who seemed always to be angry at the world. Almost too much so at times. So, it was a natural for Webb to take a little of the edge off the character and transfer it to the police department as Joe Friday in Dragnet.
