Me too. In grade school I had a friend that lived next to the school. Both parents worked. Highway Patrol came on at noon and we'd sneak over to watch it.
i have had to disassociate with many people that were criminal minded. i think this episodes illustrates how a person should be mindful of who they associate with and to find people of good morals and ethics to associate with.
See if you can tell a story in 25 minutes without some time compression, especially if you must do it with a very limited budget. I think they did pretty well. These shows were very popular when they were first made and seem to retain their entertainment value. I think if you look at any show from the period or maybe now with a critical and educated eye you will find all sorts of faults. Mostly, they don't matter.
Season One is my favorite of the series. I loved those '55 Ford convertibles even in the early 1960s when they weren't that old. Joe Turkel passed away June 27, 2022 just missing his 95th birthday which would have been July 15th.
Now that's what I loved about Brod Crawford as Dan Matthews! He walked right on in so bravely because he CARED! On another episode with a daughter and her mother being held hostage by star Peter Breck, Dan told the wheelchair elderly Mom, "I got to give it to you, you've got a lot of moxie!" Dan had a lot of moxie himself, and he was a 1st. class hero!
And if you lived in an area that was hot and humid, like OH where I am from, the job was doubly bad. Not to mention the ever present mosquitos and flies.
Mowed the neighbor's lawn. He came home and accused me of NOT mowing because their mower was Crap! He went out and mowed it again. The next week they had a power mower. Still pisses me off 50 years later! LOL
At 3:10 gotta love that vintage box of 50, Remington Kleanbore .38 Specials! My dad kept a couple of boxes of these, or their Winchester variant, in the glove box in the late 1950's and early 60's.
It's fun to look at the streets like Melrose, Wilshire and places like Hollywood and Griffith Park before I was born than hungout in the 70's thru the 90's.
@@Glinkaism1no the whole country went to hell when some orange piece of garbage slither down a certain escalator like the snake that he is that's when the country went completely to hell and that's a fact
Wow, nice that so called "progress" hasn't destroyed all the old places. Been 35 years since I been to El Segundo (used to go to neighboring Manhattan Beach a lot in the 1970s)
It's amazing to me that you recognize the house. Did you just happen to see the episode recently and recognize it, or did you know back in the day that it was featured in a Highway Patril episode?
The couple's house in El Segundo CA, 1:20 was built in 1952 at the cost of $19,000, it still stands and is now worth $1.1 million dollars. The neighbor unlike most of Los Angeles is still reasonably safe.
Re: California property values: That's not surprising to me, as I live in urban California and have seen property values skyrocket. My father bought a house in Los Altos, built in the late '30s , in for $28k in 1965. It was sold in 2014 for $1.9M. In contrast, in 1949 he bought a house in 102 N. 30th street in what is now Battle Creek, MI for $3k. The property last sold in 2013 for $14k! It also, except for awnings, looks exactly like it did in 1949 Not even a tree on the lot! This is also a lesson in Midwest vs. California property tax laws. The Michigan property at its current $28k assessed value, has a yearly property tax of about $1300 is a primary residence, and about $1800 if a second residence or rented out. In contrast, my fathers last tax bill in 2014 was $2000!
@Johnny Draco Hey Johnny, it all come down to us !!! Just because someone puts a house up for sale for some ridiculous price doesn't mean it has to sell for that. There is someone that will always fork out the money for that house at that price and that will change the prices of all the houses around it. If that house sat around for 6 or 7 months without an offer, the price WILL come down. What do you mean, " What materials are you talking about' ? What are houses made of ? I suppose if you built the house out of adobe the land would be worth more than the house. Oh, and one more thing, location, location, location. Where have you been the last 40 years ??
Those Fowler brothers are weird. One gets shot in the back and can still walk. The other one suffers a flesh wound and lies on the floor like he is dead.
The "flesh wound" happened to be a gunshot at close range to a vital organ that made him drop. On the other hand, the gunshot wound in the back might have struck a bony part, not life threatening, and keeping him able to walk a few steps.
@@alphonsozorro7952 Yes, it did hit the bony part and it's only a flesh wound. He'll get better. He's still walking, but with a limp to his back. He still needs that slug removed.
18:40 "I could describe her from the mole on her neck to the run in her stockings but that description would fit a hundred gals in this area." 'Tommy gun' delivery of dialogue at its finest.

Joe Turkel was great as one of the Fowlers. It isn't surprising that he went on to a very long career. Been mostly retired since 1997 (still alive as of 7-2016, age 89) Good thinking on Joe for getting behind the wheel of that '55 and getting away ASAP.
Well being a California car, it had a better chance of survival than a car from back East or the Rust Belt, so some collector may possibly have it, if it got past the 1960s & 70s when their values were very low & no one really wanted an old car until the 50s were rediscovered around the mid 1970s.
They were great mowers that required patience and a lil work. Much better on the grass as they actually cut the blades instead of ripping and shredding.
14:26 "Without you, I'm nothing" - she could use a little more self esteem, start by either becoming independent, or relating to a person that treats her as an equal.

David, I've been in the trucking industry for 42 years, I was talking to a young guy a few years ago and he asked me, how did you guys get dispatched since you didn't have cell phones? I said there used to be pay phones all over the place back in those days. Then he asked me what a pay phone was. Just thinking about that conversation makes me feel my age. Gee I'm old!
@@bertgrau9246 Bert, Young people today have no knowledge of older technology. Ice boxes, gas lights and wind up Victrolas were way before my time but I knew what they were when I was young. I showed pictures of 1920s cars to my students one time and they asked if you could really go anywhere in them. I showed them a picture of a Dagmar built right here in Hagerstown MD and said my great grandfather sold these cars and drove one cross country to Yellowstone Park and back. The salesmen would drive taxis they made here 300 miles to New York to deliver them. So yes. You could go places in them.
So joe, has no backbone at all. Wow, the wife Grace grace even warns the jughead husband even before the robbery to avoid the snare of the Fowler Brothers
LOL on the three guys all sitting in the front row of the car. Can't say I have seen any of that... no homo 🐈 EDIT: "You read about it when they are caught"... This was a SPECTACULAR line and by far the best of any in the nearly 80 episodes so far!
app 13:00: "...might have been connected with the murder, then again it might not be." Brilliant observations like these are why he got the big bucks! Actually I guess it was the writers.
Is it my eyes playin tricks on me, or does anyone else see backgrounds moving around. Like interior closeups, its like the walls are moving behind Crawford, lol. Or is it the upload?? great shows, tx for the upload
At about 24 minutes a close up of the gun, you can see the bullets in it. A very dramatic scene, unusual for this sort of program. This is really an unusual episode (I know Mathews says that in the closing but this really is.) Also the couple of shots were an actor walks right up into a tight close up.
I'll begin by thanking the person who posted all of these episodes. My criticism is in no way to be construed as a lack of appreciation for your having done so. That said, the writing of SO many of these episodes is the most tortured logic imaginable. "I just got duped into thinking I was going bowling with my 2 ex con friends, who decide to unwittingly use me as the getaway driver. Upon realizing this, I speed away and decide that going to the police, telling them who killed the store clerk and where the perps are, along with stating my OBVIOUS and unwitting involvement, will NEVER work. What I should do instead, is take my clean record, leave everything I own, have worked for, my job, and friends, then go on the lam for the rest of my life. Then I talk my wife into going with me and being fugitives for the rest of our lives, ALL FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO." I have a hard time believing that anybody who has ever been born could be that fucking stupid.
Roger Rodd I think Mr. Robson wrote these screenplays by reading a bunch of old detective magazines published before WW2. Some of the stuff the criminals did was pretty strange, and I don't think that, for instance, factories received large amounts of cash to pay their employees each week, which was the object of several robbery episodes. I don't think that the episodes were based on actual crimes. They are exciting to watch, but thinking that the plots are illogical show that we have grown up.
Audiences in the 1950s weren't as sophisticated as now. Also, these episodes were filmed with no thought that they'd ever be re-broadcast in a medium that allowed close inspection and analysis. So the viewer really didn't have a chance to retain the illogical plotting and dialogue.
I like your post about the Highway Patrol episode six years back. It’s one of the more intelligent and interesting comments I’ve seen on Highway Patrol. Most episodes really don’t make much sense, I agree. But they are amusing to watch for sure, for other reasons. Have a good day!
@@AyeCarumba221 ...now you've got me curious to know which of my comments you found so useful! I've posted remarks to probably several dozen of the Highway Patrol videos. I'm a big fan, as you can see.
@@AyeCarumba221 Sincere thanks-to YOU as well. So often a comment such as mine will get me a reply from some heckling hammerhead whose only reaction is something like, "Are you aware that it's just a TV Show?" I do like watching the episodes. Some of the real life backstories on Broadrick Crawford are stunning. Apparently he was a hard core alcoholic, who often lost his drivers license, so they had to shoot scenes on a lot where he could legally drive, or on the streets, here they'd just show him get into a car, then cut to the car speeding away.
A couple of things, first marada rights didn't come into effect until 1966 and back in those days cops could break down a door with just cause. Meaning if they thought there was a criminal inside they could do so.
Drive straight to the nearest police station and tell them everything. That's what most people would do. Especially back then, long before the anti-cop backlash of the 60's and today. Comibg forward promptly indicates that u have nothing to hide
A glaring issue with this entire series is around gun wounds. People are frequently shot at close quarters and yet they never bleed and their partners in crime keep telling them to 'take it easy'.
The "swimming" backgrounds seem to be a common problem with older TV shows and movies on TH-cam. I don't know if it's in the original transfer or a problem with TH-cam. In any event, it's not just this site that has the trouble.
Seth Roy I believe the moving background is caused by the up;loader using a new improvement tool that you tube offer...I uploaded a video a while back and tried the "steady" tool which had the same effect as we see in this video so I unchecked it and it was better. I wish "Foxeema" would unchecked their uploads. I am surprised how many episodes they have been able to upload without you tube telling them they are breaching copyright, I wounder if Foxeema is a Business?
@@murphynapoleon Whilst I agree about the distortion how is this person profiting as there are no adverts as in most You Tubes we see now days? If you have an issue with this particular uploader how do you feel about all the others who upload other TV series like sea Hunt and numerous others? I buy DVD's of the old TV series when I can but some are very expensive and I question if any of the Actors and original producers actually benefit as often they receive no payment for reruns even on TV this happened with Gilligan's Island for example. I see You Tube are charging ridiculous amounts of money to watch a film now as much as $5.00 when in Australia you cane get Netflix for $15.00 per month and have access to hundreds of films and TV series. My issue with You Tube is that they are far too greedy throwing too many adverts on everyone's videos they have put adverts on my videos which I have produced including original music and I have not monotised them they just put an advert on to make money for themselves. If ZIV productions have any issue with anyone uploading to You Tube they should state this and You Tube will remove those You Tubes, I find it difficult to believe that using the You Tube stabiliser would prevent ZIV or anyone else claiming coyright if this were the case there would be thousands of films even recent ones being placed on You Tube using their stabiliser in an effort to avoid Copyright and this is not the case. I do believe that if Copyright exists then it should be upheld. Mind you ZIV and others would make more money putting their old shows on You Tube and monotise them as opposed to trying to sell DVD's which are expensive and therefore few people buy them even though I do.
@@murphynapoleon What? What a selfish ass you are! I've very grateful he posted these! There's always some useless piece of crap who complains or finds fault with everything! GFUS!
Since I posted some months ago, I have learned that the "swimming" backgrounds are apparently caused by You Tube's stabilization tool. Many uploaders use it, but they would get a better result if they didn't. Thanks to Paul Davis Cross for his response.
I like how the blurred the logo of the TV station this was recorded from near the bottom right corner of the screen. Looks like Predator is lurking around.
I'm from down under, trying to recognise cars that were rare on our roads. There are lot of Fords with the dip in the side chrome. They were probably the common imported US car at the time. We called them "Customlines" but the low definition graphics seem to say "Sunliner". Are they the same cars?
Fords from the '50's had Series denomination to identify base trim cars from top line cars . The Deluxe Series was the base trim car, then came the Mainline, the Customline, the Crestline, the Fairlane, the Fairlane 500 and finally the top line called the Galaxie. SUNLINER was not a Series, it identified that the automobile was a convertible/soft top car. Therefore you could have a 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner or a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner etc.
1955-59. Highway Patrol is famous for its location shooting around the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley, then mostly rural. Other notable Los Angeles area locations include Griffith Park, as well as Bronson Canyon just above Hollywood. The show also filmed at railroad stations in Glendale, California, identified by a large sign; Alhambra, California; Santa Susana, California; and Chatsworth, California.
OK, so I'm on the hunt to find out where the opening scene showing the "ZIV Television Productions" was shot. I have always had this notion that it was shot somewhere close to the Hwy 126 / Hwy 99 junction. Probably wrong, but...

EDIT: "You read about it when they are caught"... This was a SPECTACULAR line and by far the best of any in the nearly 80 episodes so far!
Joseph Bradshaw was a dim bulb for going out with Charley and Tom Fowler. His wife was so much smarter than him it wasn't even funny.
@Nuclear Christian on stuff like that anyway . they're not always right !
Remember Joe Turkel in “Paths Of Glory”? He was shot in that movie, too…firing squad.
You can tell those Fowler brothers are no good!
I sensed that from the first time I saw them -- they were nothing but trouble. They were born bad.
They lived up to their name.
I want a Dan Matthews hat!
A _RUMP ROAST???..._ 😯😯😯
Mrs Bradshaw was cute
My favorite part of these episodes is at the very end, upon the arrest..Mathews always has a smart ass statement to end the show!
I consider it an admonishment.
He got that from Joe Friday (Jack Webb) except that Friday told it to the criminals and not the public
Give me Mathews, Joe Friday, or Pete Malloy over any lame police shows the last 30 yrs.
"shall I get the tear gas?"
Ain't Dam so cool.
When Grace talks it sounds like a furnace full marshmallows!
Joe Turkel from The Shinning and Blade Runner.
app 13:00: "...might have been connected with the murder, then again it might not be." Brilliant observations like these are why he got the big bucks! Actually I guess it was the writers.
Is it my eyes playin tricks on me, or does anyone else see backgrounds moving around. Like interior closeups, its like the walls are moving behind Crawford, lol. Or is it the upload??
great shows, tx for the upload
It's the crappy upload!
One great thing about this show was much of it was filmed outdoors or actual buildings and the use of phony sound effects are somewhat minimal.
At about 24 minutes a close up of the gun, you can see the bullets in it. A very dramatic scene, unusual for this sort of program. This is really an unusual episode (I know Mathews says that in the closing but this really is.) Also the couple of shots were an actor walks right up into a tight close up.
oh GOD! SHE'S A GODESS.
With Drunk-O-Vision camera technology. 🥴
Closed Mondays that's freaking odd!
No not really. Small shops often close on Monday if they're open on Sundays.
And notice that he turned around the "Closed" sign but left the door noticeably ajar.

I'll begin by thanking the person who posted all of these episodes. My criticism is in no way to be construed as a lack of appreciation for your having done so.
That said, the writing of SO many of these episodes is the most tortured logic imaginable. "I just got duped into thinking I was going bowling with my 2 ex con friends, who decide to unwittingly use me as the getaway driver. Upon realizing this, I speed away and decide that going to the police, telling them who killed the store clerk and where the perps are, along with stating my OBVIOUS and unwitting involvement, will NEVER work. What I should do instead, is take my clean record, leave everything I own, have worked for, my job, and friends, then go on the lam for the rest of my life. Then I talk my wife into going with me and being fugitives for the rest of our lives, ALL FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO."
I have a hard time believing that anybody who has ever been born could be that fucking stupid.
Roger Rodd I think Mr. Robson wrote these screenplays by reading a bunch of old detective magazines published before WW2. Some of the stuff the criminals did was pretty strange, and I don't think that, for instance, factories received large amounts of cash to pay their employees each week, which was the object of several robbery episodes.
I don't think that the episodes were based on actual crimes. They are exciting to watch, but thinking that the plots are illogical show that we have grown up.
Audiences in the 1950s weren't as sophisticated as now. Also, these episodes were filmed with no thought that they'd ever be re-broadcast in a medium that allowed close inspection and analysis. So the viewer really didn't have a chance to retain the illogical plotting and dialogue.
I like your post about the Highway Patrol episode six years back. It’s one of the more intelligent and interesting comments I’ve seen on Highway Patrol. Most episodes really don’t make much sense, I agree. But they are amusing to watch for sure, for other reasons. Have a good day!
@@AyeCarumba221 ...now you've got me curious to know which of my comments you found so useful! I've posted remarks to probably several dozen of the Highway Patrol videos. I'm a big fan, as you can see.
@@AyeCarumba221 Sincere thanks-to YOU as well. So often a comment such as mine will get me a reply from some heckling hammerhead whose only reaction is something like, "Are you aware that it's just a TV Show?"
I do like watching the episodes. Some of the real life backstories on Broadrick Crawford are stunning. Apparently he was a hard core alcoholic, who often lost his drivers license, so they had to shoot scenes on a lot where he could legally drive, or on the streets, here they'd just show him get into a car, then cut to the car speeding away.
Some nice closeups or a change. Better shooter or director.
The Fowler brothers. Lol😂
It is amazing how the police does so much illegal stuff in this series. Break down door without a warrant!
A couple of things, first marada rights didn't come into effect until 1966 and back in those days cops could break down a door with just cause. Meaning if they thought there was a criminal inside they could do so.
Shooting happens out in front of a store and there is nobody who sees them?
And out there for a minute too, goes back in the store, comes back out and still there for a minute, not a person in sight..yeah
And he turns around the "Closed" sign but leaves the door ajar.
They waited until Episode #4 before they started to bring in the good looking women.
He'll be coming back to you Mrs. Bradshaw, in 5-10 years.
From the same cops that Teaser 9 and 10 yr. old little girls
After doing 12 years in Sing Sing.
Joe just couldnt stop making stupid decisions. One thing goes wrong and he snaps like a twig.
With Friends Like That Who Needs Enemies
The wife on the show is real doll.
Most of the women on this show were. Even the female criminals. Much more attractive than the ones today.
Women in the 50s mostly were good looking or even beautiful for some.
Yes indeed!!❤️❤️❤️
@@alphonsozorro7952 That can be said of any era.

21:28 ... they bowl with the Corsairs. (Bound to fail.)
Drive straight to the nearest police station and tell them everything. That's what most people would do. Especially back then, long before the anti-cop backlash of the 60's and today. Comibg forward promptly indicates that u have nothing to hide
A glaring issue with this entire series is around gun wounds. People are frequently shot at close quarters and yet they never bleed and their partners in crime keep telling them to 'take it easy'.
The "swimming" backgrounds seem to be a common problem with older TV shows and movies on TH-cam. I don't know if it's in the original transfer or a problem with TH-cam. In any event, it's not just this site that has the trouble.
Seth Roy I believe the moving background is caused by the up;loader using a new improvement tool that you tube offer...I uploaded a video a while back and tried the "steady" tool which had the same effect as we see in this video so I unchecked it and it was better. I wish "Foxeema" would unchecked their uploads. I am surprised how many episodes they have been able to upload without you tube telling them they are breaching copyright, I wounder if Foxeema is a Business?
@@murphynapoleon Whilst I agree about the distortion how is this person profiting as there are no adverts as in most You Tubes we see now days? If you have an issue with this particular uploader how do you feel about all the others who upload other TV series like sea Hunt and numerous others? I buy DVD's of the old TV series when I can but some are very expensive and I question if any of the Actors and original producers actually benefit as often they receive no payment for reruns even on TV this happened with Gilligan's Island for example. I see You Tube are charging ridiculous amounts of money to watch a film now as much as $5.00 when in Australia you cane get Netflix for $15.00 per month and have access to hundreds of films and TV series. My issue with You Tube is that they are far too greedy throwing too many adverts on everyone's videos they have put adverts on my videos which I have produced including original music and I have not monotised them they just put an advert on to make money for themselves. If ZIV productions have any issue with anyone uploading to You Tube they should state this and You Tube will remove those You Tubes, I find it difficult to believe that using the You Tube stabiliser would prevent ZIV or anyone else claiming coyright if this were the case there would be thousands of films even recent ones being placed on You Tube using their stabiliser in an effort to avoid Copyright and this is not the case. I do believe that if Copyright exists then it should be upheld. Mind you ZIV and others would make more money putting their old shows on You Tube and monotise them as opposed to trying to sell DVD's which are expensive and therefore few people buy them even though I do.

Since I posted some months ago, I have learned that the "swimming" backgrounds are apparently caused by You Tube's stabilization tool. Many uploaders use it, but they would get a better result if they didn't. Thanks to Paul Davis Cross for his response.
Thanks. I thought they were having an earthquake.
Headquarters often looked like it was at sea.
I like how the blurred the logo of the TV station this was recorded from near the bottom right corner of the screen. Looks like Predator is lurking around.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Enjoy viewing cars/out door pay phone booth of that era.
I’m always feeling cheated not knowing how it finishes
I'm from down under, trying to recognise cars that were rare on our roads. There are lot of Fords with the dip in the side chrome. They were probably the common imported US car at the time. We called them "Customlines" but the low definition graphics seem to say "Sunliner". Are they the same cars?
Fords from the '50's had Series denomination to identify base trim cars from top line cars .
The Deluxe Series was the base trim car, then came the Mainline, the Customline, the Crestline, the Fairlane, the Fairlane 500 and finally the top line called the Galaxie. SUNLINER was not a Series, it identified that the automobile was a convertible/soft top car. Therefore you could have a 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner or a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner etc.

It always struck me as strange that the opening sequence of each episode used clips from the actual episode itself - spoiler alert!

Where was this series filmed?
1955-59. Highway Patrol is famous for its location shooting around the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley, then mostly rural. Other notable Los Angeles area locations include Griffith Park, as well as Bronson Canyon just above Hollywood. The show also filmed at railroad stations in Glendale, California, identified by a large sign; Alhambra, California; Santa Susana, California; and Chatsworth, California.
OK, so I'm on the hunt to find out where the opening scene showing the "ZIV Television Productions" was shot. I have always had this notion that it was shot somewhere close to the Hwy 126 / Hwy 99 junction. Probably wrong, but...
The opening sequence with the helicopter shot is on eastbound 101 by Agoura Road.
