Adam GrahamHOST
I think Vic Perrin's portrayal of Frank Smith is an interesting one.
Adam GrahamHOST
I don't think it actually matched well with Jack Webb, and particularly not in the way that both Ben Alexander and later Harry Morgan would in bringing humor into these often very serious episodes.

Adam GrahamHOST
It does sometimes bring up relatable subjects, particularly the second segment where he is annoyed about the way television is going in his house.
