Best cheesy show of all time


Jack Webb, cheesiest actor of all time. Don't get me wrong, I like the show, but I think its cheesiness is the best part of it.

Maybe Friday was cheesy, but he always knew the weather, and what time it was in Los Angeles.

With all due respect: Jack Webb was an excellent actor. Watch "Sunset Blvd." and "Appointment with Danger" back-to-back to get an idea of his range. And examine the way he moved, he had the grace of a dancer. As for his directing style, the "Dragnet" franchise, like his movies "Pete Kelly's Blues" and "-30-", were the film equivalent of the superrealist school of art.
