I wish Brod Crawford could know how popular he is even after all this time. A very charming tough guy. I don't know what it is about this series that makes it so good. A low budget syndicated show but everything works and the human drama is very well done.
I grew up with those cars, they made me sea-sick. I put heavy duty shocks my mom's car, helped a little. They wanted the cars to be "comfortable", never mind they couldn't corner worth a darn.
All tose guys, hoodlums, ex convicts, good or bad boys have beautifull wifes or girls... How lucky they are... How lucky we are ! Thank for sharing this series, it is really great.
I’m really starting to love those 59 and 60 Chrysler products. The car in Christine is pretty sweet , I wish this show was in color so I could really see the color combos of these cars
The 58 Fury only came in an off white. I watched a video about them. But I think the 57-58 Plymouth Fury was one of the most beautiful. Sure, I love the 55-57 Chevys, 59 is one of my favorite Bel Air's. The Fords weren't as sharp. But the 62-63 Dodge had one ugly nose. It looks like that ugly dog you love. But, that 63 was one bad ride with the Wedge. They built a drag version that was just barely street legal. I don't think it had a heater. No seam sealers, carpet. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, it didn't have it.
Larry is symbolic of all the petulant children brats set up to fail by their helicopter parents today, he would go shoot up the school like a POS, just like his parents, ole Larry, 30+ yrs old sponging off women is the only way he can make it.
Great episode, well, except for that magic bucket. Water would have splashed out backing out of the driveway ten seconds into the drive to the chem plant. If not then ten times on the way!
John P Bondrew My ex wife was hot. I got tired of trying to keep her happy. I left her and now I’ve got an ugly woman who worships the ground I walk on. Trust me looks don’t mean anything.
Now how did such a pretty, wonderful lady like that ever end up with such a lowlife loser ?? With her looks, Peggy could've had someone MUCH, MUCH better.
at 11:16 when he gives the address of 1609 Genesee ave. that is that actual address where this episode was filmed. The house was built in 1922 and cost $8,000 new, it's 2,600 square ft. extremely large for that era. The house is in West Hollywood and is still there but it is a little more expensive with a current price tag of over $2 million dollars.
I looked at 1609 Genesee on Google street view, and the house is clearly recognizable. The big difference was the steel bars added to the main entrance. It looks like all the houses in the neighborhood have steel gates on their driveway entrances. Two million dollars and you live in a high crime neighborhood? My, the country has change in half-a-century.
With the black leather jacket and slicked up hair, it was obvious right from the start who the villain would be. Couldn't have been more obvious unless he was dressed like one of the Beagle Boys.
I guess even back in the 50s beautiful young women would get mixed up with loser punks that were worth shit. Now, of course, this trend has reached epidemic proportions as a result of media glorification of bad boys and scumbags. Love the cars on this show. Hoping to see a late 50s Plymouth Belvedere. My first car was a 59 Belvedere. Wish I still had that gem today.
I was always a bad boy to an extent. I wasn't scum. I ran my shop for 25 years. But, I played hard, drove Fast Cars, Rode my Harley. I just wasn't bad enough for a lot of gals. But I was for a whole lot others.
Yep. Well aware of that. Knew this beautiful woman who was smart (she was in SWE - society of women's engineer). She had an affinity with good looking guys that had a box of rocks in their heads. One guy messed up her career. She was to get a job in another state but had to stay with this loser bf because of he's on probation he couldn't leave state.
I've never heard anyone say "slothfulness", I love it! 10-Q Anna! I'm too "lazy" to use it in conversation because I'm too slothful to define it in the area I live!
It would have been better if the rear view mirror wasn't so prominently displayed as Dan is trying to sneak up on the psycho, makes it even more implausible.
It’s the most interesting episode so far, but then again I’m only at episode 41. I haven’t seen sergeant Williams for a while now, perhaps he had been “promoted” to star in Dragnet series as Joe Friday’s direct boss.
Well u think that dude cutting ropes on that water bucket would have been moving alot quicker instead he took his time while Ole Dan was seeming to have a h___ of a time holding that guy back in driver's seat lol
First woman I have seen punched out (twice) in Highway Patrol and the guy with the size 12 wrench to the noggin. Pretty violent for 50's TV. The "explosive expert" happening to have a large pair of scissors to cut the rope,a good one!
I dont see how that bucket of water wouldnt slosh around and hit the potassium going over so much as a bump. Edit that one scene where he grabs the potassium and throws it on the water. That technically is not even possible. As soon as he would grab it with his bare hand it will react with any moisture on it then react with the water in his body tissue as it turns him inside out.
Dang! I just watched "Human Bomb" this morning and now this one. Both were practically bookends. Both wanted to blow up their employers over being fired and both had Matthews wrestling with the perpetrator who was trying to detonate the explosives and take himself and Matthews (not to mention everyone in the area) with him.
Pro Tip Trivia: This episode was based on the real life story of Joe Biden who is portrayed here by the character known as "Larry Bolton" They may call him Larry here, but we know who they're really referring to. 😉
Some people are bastards, plain and simple, no other way to describe them. This guy qualifies without a doubt. Matthews had a tough one, but he came through. Well done, Dan. Although you could have been a bit nicer to the police lady and not cut her off so abruptly. Who knows, maybe she had a crush on you.
Why do terrorists bother with deisel fuel and fertilizer, just buy a keg of pottasium and water.....ha ha...a real teaching episode. Did you people know Clint Eastwood made his first debut on an episode on Highway Patrol. No wonder he turned to Dirty Harry

It doesn't explode so much as burn rapidly, imagine a few thousand flares burning at the same time. The pressure would throw gobs of thousand degree potassium dozens of feet in every direction. the truck and anything nearby would burn instantly.
13:15 Larry should've gone down on his knees in front of Peggy and apologized. If he had begged her for forgiveness, she might've given him another chance.

I love the suspensions on those old cars bouncing up and down the road like a boat on rough water!
At about 140, we called it floating. So, I guess you're right about a boat.
I grew up with those cars, they made me sea-sick. I put heavy duty shocks my mom's car, helped a little. They wanted the cars to be "comfortable", never mind they couldn't corner worth a darn.
The old Jell-o suspension
One of the best cop shows ever 🙌
Good grief, you’ve lived a very sheltered existence!!

I really liked this episode--a classic.
back then wouldnt have made it jail without a severe beating first. people knew back then not to screw up.
Yes!👍
Jan Shepard is hot...she's also known for that classic "Attack of the Giant Leaches"
Jan Shepard also appeared in another Highway Patrol episode, "Framed Cop" 2/23/59.

Water does react explosively with potasium, but it's always stored under something like mineral oil.
Phils Phan I take potassium and drink water. Am I gonna blow up?
@John Tapp -- Stay off trampolines.
We used potassium or sodium in high school chemistry lab to create hydrogen but it wasn't in dry form. It was a semi-solid gelatinous texture.
They used to use sodium to clear drains in lead pipes. When mixed with water it will make flames.
