⭐ YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR THE MERRILL KENT MATTER Show Notes for 1001 Radio Days – Edmund O'Brien Era Broadcast Context: During Edmund O'Brien's tenure (1950–1952), Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar leaned harder into noir sensibilities—tougher dialogue, grittier pacing, and a more hard‑boiled Johnny.

The origins of Dragnet can be traced to a semi-documentary film, "He Walked by Night" from 1948, in which Webb had a small role.
