Dragnet is an American television series. It ran for seasons, from January 12, 1967, to April 16, 1970.

All four seasons of this series have been released on DVD; Season 1 ("Dragnet 1967") by Universal  Studios Home Entertainment, and seasons 2 ("1968"), 3 ("1969") and 4 ("1970") by Shout! Factory. This was the second television series in a "Dragnet" media franchise encompassing film, television, books and comics. TV movie. The intended pilot for this series was a two-hour TV-movie titled Dragnet 1966 (with the promotional title World Premiere: Dragnet). This movie was not broadcast until January 27, 1969, about halfway through the third season of the series. This movie is included as an extra in the "Dragnet 1968" DVD set.
