==Planned 1983 TV series==

Webb had planned on reviving ''Dragnet'' again in 1982 for a 1983 debut, reprising his role as Joe Friday and producing five episode scripts for this second revival.  As Ben Alexander, who played previous partner Officer Frank Smith in the 1951 series, had died in 1969 and Harry Morgan, who played Bill Gannon in the 1967 series, was busy with his current series ''M*A*S*H'', Webb needed a new partner for Sgt. Friday and cast Kent McCord, who had first appeared in the 1967 series playing different charatcers in guest appearances (one of which, LAPD officer Jim Reed, later became one of the main characters on ''Adam-12''), in that role, possibly reprising his Jim Reed role from ''Adam-12'' as a plainclothes detective and Friday's new partner.  The 1983 revival was scrapped when Webb died of a heart attack on December 23, 1982.
