I remember Dragnet and this is SO like the show except it's NAUGHTY and FUNNY!

[cuddyclothes]

Thank you! I'm worried not enough people will know/remember the show. Thank you for reading!

[flywoman]

Ah ha ha ha, I sense that this was inspired by a certain someone in a writing workshop you once attended...

[cuddyclothes]

Now what would make you think that? ;)

I remember it too ... vaguely, but I think you have the voices down pat. Unfortunately I keep getting the mental picture of Friday as "Colonel Potter" from M*A*S*H ... which makes it kinda icky(-er). ♥

[cuddyclothes]

Actually, Col. Potter was Bill Gannon. Jack Webb was Joe Friday.

[brindlewolf]

Doh!! (I really DO know which is which ... I just typed the wrong name). ♥

GENIUS! *genuflects to your cracky goddesshood!*

Gannon: “Don’t let the wife know.”
PERFECTION.

Absolute perfection. I grew up on reruns of this and I could hear the voices but exactly.

I swear to god, this is one of the best costume fics EVER! I know it was rough getting there and I will supply unlimited brain-bleach if you need it, but honestly, this was BRILLIANT!

So much love! You've got the tone down perfectly. (I read the title and thought, "And handcuffs. Don't forgt the handcuffs!" If you're ever inspired to do a sequel....)

I caught shit for writing Adam-12 slash, but mine wasn't *intended* to be crack and it seemed to really piss off the purists. Here's hoping you get a better reception.

So far there hasn't been much of a response, but I think Dragnet must have a very small fanbase. And Friday/Gannon...well, that's just wrong. Bleecch.

[vanillafluffy]

Wrong, but they *did* have that "old, married couple" vibe going on....
