Me too. I stay up late, or "early", some mornings, and I LOVE to watch these shows too!! Things were still decent and normal then. Everything still made sense, and was fresh, and wholesome.
Plot twist: HBO is rebooting the series and will cover the entire story of this episode over the course of three seasons and will feature HBO’s signature full frontal nudity.
Fun to watch, but a bit silly. At the end, for example, they just left the other officer's patrol car, and the suspect's car, sitting in the roadway as they drove off. Of course, there was no traffic on the roadways, so wasn't too much of a problem.
Loved seeing these scenes from this old show. When Adam-12 came on my husband joined the LA County Sheriffs Department he said Adam 12 was very accurate! My sister and I also listen to Gunsmoke on the radio and I watch that show almost every day in black and white ! Good memorie
I grew up watching Highway patrol , the cars are awesome. I still remember the narrator intro, "whenever the laws of any state are broken a duly authorized organization swings in action.
I always liked seeing the old "winged" 55, 56, 57, 58 Chrysler products, the DeSotoes, Dodges, Chryslers and yes, the Plymouths. Some shows did have early Mercury models, I think 52, 53 , 54.
Ruth Clifford in this episode. She started acting in 1915 until 1977. She lived to be 98. You can see her in Wagon Master , a western classic almost like Wagon Train
william alderman ; Wagon Master was one of my all time favorite westerns. Staring young Ben Johnson, Harry Cary Jr. and, Ward Bond just to name a few who starred in the film. I have the theme song, sung by the Sons of The Pioneers, saved in a folder. I have to listen every once in a while. "Wagons west are rolling, out where winds are blowinggggg.
Good storyline, well acted and fast paced. Lots of outdoors stuff with great SoCal weather. I can understand why Highway Patrol was so popular in the mid to late 1950's.
There is a one owner bookshop in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, Canada, don't even think she takes debit cards and does credit cards the old-fashioned way with the imprint machine. Great selection of books. Writes out a receipt by hand. Like stepping back in time. Always go there and never walked out without some books.
Now! i remember exactly where i saw the old guy, from the car paint shop, in this episode. I think he was playing Mr Douglas neighbor who had a pig called Alfred and who use to sit down on the couch while watching télévision, in Green Acres.
+Helen Kruse Yes, he was a great character actor and was in many films as well.(Hank Patterson) Gunsmoke, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction were his biggest TV roles; however he played a great role in several Twilight Zone Episodes; my favorite being "Kick the Can" about a group of senior citizens in a small rest home who decide not to grow old and are transformed back into their youth except one who regrets it as the episode ends.
+sonoran rain I remember that Twilight Zone episode. I ran across a young man, who may be a teen I'm not sure on here who has discovered this show and all those we grew up on from way back. I gave him my email address. I also told him to look up Ma & Pa Kettle on here,and let me know what he thought. I think he has friends too who are discovering the old shows and movies. haha I love it. They loved what they've been seeing too. So much is being lost to a generation who don't care about anything except themselves,and their news is whatever Hollywood is putting out. Sad. I wonder if the USA will see a Tricentennial as we saw and celebrated the Bicentennial as a Nation. Anyway, back to the shows. Have fun too.
+Helen Kruse Yes, I truly pity the youth of today as they have been conditioned to believe that exploding cars, nudity and vile language is "entertainment". They don't realize what wholesome family based entertainment is. Most of the shows in the fifties had common themes of virtue, good vs. evil ( and good always won out and you were left with a good feeling after watching most shows during that era)I don't even own a TV anymore as there is a plethora of classics such as Highway Patrol, Sky King, Whirlybirds and many more on TH-cam. They are now in the public domain, so they are free of charge. The new"sitcoms" are nothing more than disposable trash that have no moral compass or redeeming value whatsoever. I was born in 1956, so I was too young to watch them when they first came out, but I soon discovered the reruns and have enjoyed them ever since. FYI, Dragnet, Donna Reed, Get Smart, Andy Griffith,Perry Mason and Bob Newhart are but a few of the box sets that you can buy at reasonable prices of all the seasons boxed together. God Bless
sonoran rain I'm a little younger than you,born in 1962 but a Boomer just the same. I agree with you 100%. I love how the young ones today attack those of us who don't go along with their filth of today too. Maybe we were born in the wrong end of the century. haha I think we who are not afraid to say what you did,and feel like we do are supposed to be quiet and go away never to be seen from again. Today's youth think they know it all,but know nothing. You know, I actually read in the Bible that there will be those who will be self proclaimed wise men (and women) and who are no more wise than an elephant can fly. That is the jest of it. Now there are those who want to boycott a state because they have to put a new law out there concerning bath rooms so people like us and children can use a public rest room safely. I have not used one in years. I'm afraid to use one. The way I see it, when I am on the way home there are alot of woods between town and my place. I think I'd rather take my chances in the woods on the way home. Then boycott states who have to make new laws to protect churches, and businesses from being forced to partake in things that owner does not believe in. No one should be forced to do anything they don't want to do,and when it goes against their Religious belief, such as the baker who doesn't want to bake a cake for the gay wedding because it goes against his belief. Why should that baker be forced to make that cake? Is that one the only baker in town? Go to one who does not care. I noticed, evil ALWAYS wants to go where it isn't welcome even by force. I guess I will die with a bullet in my head one day. I will NEVER go against what is right no matter what or who says I must. I will answer to no man, but when I have to answer to my Father one day,I don';t want to have to explain away evil. You take care and keep watching and enjoying. Oh, I ran across a young man here who has discovered our shows. haha I love it. He loves these shows and I think he has some friends too that watch this and other old tv shows and movies. I told them to look up Ma & Pa Kettle, count the kids and tell me how many they count. haha I know, I did that one already years ago. haha I gave him my email and we wrote. It made me feel so good that here was a young man enjoying these shows as we do and have our whole lives. So many today are missing out and don't care and that is scary. Sorry this got long. Take care and I know we will cross paths again. Can't wait to hear with the young folks thought of the Kettle's haha
+Helen Kruse Your reply speaks volumes. We are becoming a police state where the individual has no rights and voicing one's opinion is considered "hate speech" as the baker you spoke of. Why didn't they just find another baker?No, instead, they want more than just tolerance, they want complete acceptance of a lifestyle that God expressly forbids. I will answer to no one,, but God the Father , His Son who paid our sin debt and the Holy Spirit. I will not take the mark of the beast, no matter what the circumstances. Christians will win even if it looks futile in the end as we are not going to die. We will be with the Lord in our new glorified bodies. How I await that day!! I would not trade all my years to be a child again, because the innocence of childhood is forever gone sadly. God Bless you and I've enjoyed our conversation. Kind Regards, Blake
Yep. I remember our family cars: a Kaiser-Frazer, a Chrysler Windsor ( nice large comfortable car), and a '58 Pontiac Catalina. They were great in the days of 29 cents per gallon gas.
Those lovely metal bumpers you like so much added a lot of weight and reduced gas mileage. Bumpers now are strong but lightweight, allowing for better mileage. So, there's a trade off. If you want classic metal, you can paint your bumpers chrome. Yeah, like that's going to work.
Notice all those beautiful cars in the background scenes. Man they were land yachts but what style. Like watching an art form on wheels, like art deco of the 50's. The fins, the skirts, the hood ornaments.
HIGHWAY PATROL has always been my number one favorite crime drama. I have every season on DVD, along with other fifties favorites that include M SQUAD, HARBOR COMMAND, and a few LINEUP episodes. I call these oldies but goodies.
I remember watching all these shows. I don't remember when the Highway Patrol started. I just know I watched this show, Have Gun Will Travel among others. I remember when I was a youngster in the early 40's when TV was just starting. My uncle was one of the first 10,000 to buy a TV in L. A. It was a table model. The cabinet was around 3 ft wide and 2 ft high and about 1 1/2 ft deep with a screen 6 inches to 8 inches big. When my family would visit I would watch and was so captivated. When midnight came the stations ( there were 3 ) would sign off by playing the National Anthem and the rest of the night all you could see was what was called a test pattern. Later on, I lived in Sunnyvale and twice a week we would drive to San Jose ( 10 miles )to watch TV at my older brother's house. We watched Burn's and Allen' show and so on. Those were great day's. You didn't even need to lock your door's when you left home. I remember the worst thing at school was chewing gum in class or cutting in line. We actually learned History, Math, Wood Shop, Metal Shop, English, and I could go on. Now kid's don't know History or what is going on in the country less on the world. To busy texting crap mostly. Parents are so permissive the kids don't understand what real respect really means. I might be elderly but I would not trade places with kids now a days. Our freedoms have slipped away and most people don't know what true freedom is like. Every aspect of our lives are watched and now we have young college students owing thousands for a bad education and young stupid one's calling out to ban free speech, how dumb is that? How many lost their lives to keep free speech and these young students have been so pampered by their parents and society as a hole they ( students ) have no clue what they ask by doing this. I must stop writing and get out of here. I just hate to see what has happened to my country. Ever once in a while I get worked up and I wonder why my brother's ( 2 )fought WWII and I am a Korean vet. Why risk your lives for a generation like we have today. Most are dumber then a box of nails or a stump.
+Ray Dodson Mr.Ray, I agree with your comment 100%. I will be 54 this year. I am 3rd generation from Lithuania. I know all about the sacrifices made for the freedoms we used to have. Yesterday I saw several younger folks with Bernie Sanders stickers on their cars. They also had stickers showing they have children. Do they realize this man is an open communist? So is obama. Those brave souls who fought,died and were made lame for the freedoms only to have them thrown in the gutter. I have told many that a Progressive is a communist. Their slogan, We get things done. Yes, they get things done alright, tearing the nation down from the top down the inside out. We lost family in Lithuania helping others flee. They were not Jewish but died in death camps anyway for helping others. Even my late Husbands family was affected by this when they ran from Germany.They lost a castle and money! Yes, I agree these kids today aren't learning anything really in school. We made sure our Daughter learned about all of this. High School she did the Christian school at home. We taught her history and about the wars and why we have Memorial Day, July 4th which is her birthday,and everything they used to teach. Here,they don't want the children to learn about the wars, it's too violent.Yet they buy them such violent video games some go out in the streets and believe they are still playing it. It's ok for children of other countries to live war,yet we are not supposed to allow our children today learn it exists. So wrong. These weak people who tolerate it all would be the 1st ones put to death by Hitler and communists,and the Isis muslims. Why? Because they are weak,stupid,and cannot be tolerated. You know this is true too. I just want you to know I remember freedom, real freedom. Not this watered down version of something I don't know. The USA have become a nation of illusionists. Giving the illusion of many things, but stand up and believe in nothing. Thank you sir for serving our Nation, fighting for our Freedoms,and I for one appreciate you.
Ray Dodson TV didn’t start in the early 40’s. It didn’t start until sometime prior to 1955 when I was born. My dad is 87, and his dad died in 1944. There was no TV then. I asked him. Sorry, but your years are off. In 1942, all their was, was radio.
@Nuclear Christian A least he's not attacking the 2nd amendment unlike all his upcoming opponents; when that happens we'll become like the nations you mention. THAT is the threat to freedom I see looming.
It runs now M-F at 5 AM ET on MeTV. I watch it every morning and have the nerve to watch it here as well. Yep, I must be getting old ;-). It does bring back wonderful childhood memories from the 60s, watching TV with my grandmother, uncle, running and playing outside in the yard, riding my bike, no worry of being shot or kidnapped. Remember ‘Your FBI’ or was that what someone said at the intro of another cop show? I think that’s what it was called. I worked a Teletype machine at a bank card center as well- I was even so proud to add it to my resume back in the day, before fax machines, scanners, email. SMH Thanks for carrying these. I plan to share them with my great-nephews, they’ve asked where was the color on some of my others LOL - Leave It To Beaver and Tales of Wells Fargo.
Okay...who is better at intoning the famous... '10:4...10:4'...in that barroom whiskey baritone voice seasoned with numerous Lucky Strikes...and, who could wear a fedora at sleuth like tilt...the ageless ol' Brod'...that's who...'10:4'!
Thanks to Foxeema Classic for posting all these Classics! When I was in High School my mom went to work for the CHP (1970) as a Matron/Dispatcher. Between growing up surrounded by CHP and watching Adam-12 I had to go into Law Enforcement (Graduated Central California Academy in Class of 79/80). I just love these old 'cop shows'. It was a simpler time before half the kids between 12 and 20 wanted to become "Gangsters". America was better when the TV was in Black and White.
@doctorwho0077 -- your full of bs, most crimes especially gun violence is committed by good old white boys raised by fools like yourself that voted for a comman, just check the facts and turn off faux news
This was in rerun afternoons when I walked home from elementary school in the 60's. Bad snacks but I still can taste the 5 cent coke and BBQ corn chips. Yes, we had those back then! Then back outside to ride my bike with friends, play some, back in for dinner and reruns of "Amos and Andy". Oh yeah, I still had to find time for homework, dang it.
Gee, solid performance from Det. Matthews. Have you seen the way he blocked the road to the bandits at 24:15 ? Also I liked when Det. Matthews dispatched all the troopers in action to get those 2 killers. Solid on steering wheel, on strategy, also with his .38, in that county, no bandits can fool around him.
Ruth Clifford played the bookstore owner. She was a silent star. When she was older, she worked regularly. She married in the 1920s and had one child. SHe was born in 1900 and a great looking woman in her day.
They say Broderick Crawford used to get pretty well hammered during the filming of these shows and they had to get all of his lines in by noon or they couldn’t get them until the next day. Great show, reminds me of Dragnet.
What's sad " ABOUT it...all human beings need companionship...DON'T you....& yes MOST all women DO want marriage...nothing disgraceful about that....she was trusting & loved someone. Who was deceiving...& criminal......it could happen to ANYONE.......
Gotta love the exterior shots of 1950's Los Angeles. Check out the scene around 9:56 after the baddie steps out of the telephone booth. Street sign behind him says "Melrose 7300 W". A check of Google Earth shows it's 7300 W. Melrose Ave., i.e. Melrose and Poinsettia Pl. in West Hollywood. Street View shows the intersection today. The white garage and automobile polishing shop across the street is now Summer Buffalo Cafe. Now isn't that cool? Ya salaam!
A wonderfully cheesy program. Haven’t seen this since I was a kid in the early ‘60s. Even then I thought it was cheesy, but great entertainment. Broderick Crawford was great. One of my favorite actors. Catch him in Larceny Inc. (1942) with Edward G. Robinson, Jack Carson and Anthony Quinn. He’s fine and the movie is a funny gem.
I really enjoy watching Broderick Crawford in these shows. Glad that I found them on TH-cam. I also watched Broderick in the movie "The Mob" that's also on TH-cam. He plays a tough talking undercover detective - imagine that. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
The thing that I found most interesting why the vehicles that were used like the Buick special and all the other gorgeous automobiles that they used.Many people did not know his Sargent was later on Adam 12 also a Sargent.
It was a simpler time, world didn't move so fast, most folks knew difference between right & wrong even if didn't always do the right thing. The cars weren't perfect, but were the best of that era.
Hank Patterson veteran TV actor "Have Gun Will Travel " "Gunsmoke" "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction as Fred Ziffle: Arnold the pig's father....."That's my boy Arnold" and to Sam Drucker "Arnold says you've got "Gormay" spelled wrong"
When the dead CHP officer was found, did anyone noticed how pissed off and disgusted Matthews looked, then stormed off to go capture the killer. This shows belief is safety of the CHP and citizens and F...k the villains by killing them right away. The villain most always shot first, so the CHP had the right to defend themselves. Sometimes the villain(s) were wounded or gave up after the partner was shot. Also the brush around the burned car was not burned. These details are not really important to the theme, I enjoy the HP show very much. Sometimes logic pays off and a whole hillside doesn't go up in flames. The point was trying to obliterate IDing the vehicle. Lastly, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and the Hollywood area and revel in the nostalgia of seeing places I recognize or the street names that quickly whiz by the cameras 'eye'. When you come across some episodes with a helicopter, check the area that the villains drive or run into. It's an old abandoned quarry used to film hundred of different movies, TV shows, and commercials. In my dad's day as a kid(30's), he used to play there. It has a tunnel to hide in. One side, the quarry side has one entrance and the other side has a three-into-one entrance. Locally, it was called Three-Way. Today one can go there and see it. It's called Bronson Cave. It's off the right side of Bronson Ave. It is below the HOLLYWOOD sign and Griffith Park Observatory
A lot of these old early shows used a single camera, not the same camera but a scene was shot with only one camera. Notice here and in others. like westerns of the 50's, they used a lot of filler scenes. A patrol car going up the highway, around a curve, a close up of Crawford behind the wheel. Cheap to produce and since most all the scenes for Highway Patrol where shot outside,(unusual for the day like I love Lucy mostly on stage, same for the Lone Ranger, Father Knows Best etc mostly in one building on a stage with three settings), they controlled costs by using filler scenes to cut down on production and editing.
Hank Patterson, the old geezer stable keeper on the Gun Smoke show; is now Frank Hanley, friendly car painter, who knew there was something fishy about the guy whose car he painted. RIP Hank.
Crawford gave up a pretty good movie career to focus on his drinking. This TV show was his last call really and he still couldnt quite drinking. Pretty sad when the demons take control.
Hey, don't bad mouth someone who is unable to break his cycle of death. I was an alcoholic for 35 yrs B4 I was able to break my cycle and it was only when, someone helped me to realize how destructive my behavior was and my children needed me more than the disease needed me. Remember, not everyone has the strength to overcome our troubles, until "we see the light!"
Here in the UK, we used to watch these terrific episodes of !Highway Patrol,' back in the 50's. Broderick Crawford has always been one of my favourite actors, and was absolutely meant for the part of Chief Dan Mathews.
Whenever he calls base or an ambulance they are always just round the corner, even when they are right in the middle of nowhere. Still like it though I remember when our family mum & dad brother & sister got our first black & white TV set back in 1957, and we watched this series for the first time. Memories 😊
I knew there was something familiar about the street location when Larry gets off the phone at 9:58 (street sign visible) Melrose Ave, somewhere west of Fairfax Av, if anyone is familiar with LA or west Hollywood. Was in the immediate area in 1968, very little difference.
Broderick Crawford told my father a story about a guy he knew… Tom Yorkfield, a farmer… who received a visit from his half-brother Laurence. Tom had no great liking for Laurence or respect for his profession as a portrait painter of animals. Tom showed Laurence his big prize bull and expected Laurence to be impressed, but Laurence nonchalantly told Tom that he had sold a painting of a different bull, which Tom had seen and did not like, for more than five thousand dollars. Tom got angry that a mere picture of a bull could be worth more than his real bull. This and Laurence's condescending attitude give him the urge to strike him. But Laurence ran away across a field, was attacked by Tom’s bull, and was only barely saved by Tom from serious injury. Tom looked after Laurence while he recovered and felt no more rancour because he knew that, however valuable Laurence's painting was, only a real bull like his could attack someone.
Nice. Fine professional use of Binoculars that I hadn't seen yet in other episodes. But in such terrain makes perfect sense. Big brother was watching back then too.
Ruth Clifford played the role of Theo Nielsen. She had an impressive career. She was very busy in the silent film days, and she appeared in more than 190 roles from 1916 to 1984.
The supreme court ruling on self incrimination (Miranda rights) was made in 1966. The was filmed in 1956, 10 years before ruling, so there was no such thing as reading a suspect their rights.
Yet, people are tried all the time, get aquitted, then face Federal charges related to the underlying incident. It's a choppy way around the 5th amendment. There are no laws anymore. It's all a game now, sadly.
a nd we have progressed from Miranda rights to apologizing to career criminals naming community centers after them and giving them millions of tax payer dollars, thanks feel good liberals! why dont they move to a communist tyrannical country that lives up to their standards.

Miranda doesn't apply until you question them. You must read them their rights before questioning.
At 9:57, he steps out of the phone booth at the southwest corner of Melrose Avenue and North Poinsettia Place in Los Angeles. The camera is looking north along Poinsettia.
Five minutes later another migrant worker came along and found another patrol car abandoned with the engine running, next to it was a light green 1956 four door sedan in the same condition partially blocking the road. He ran to a phone and the whole cycle began again…
Standard procedure in many countries, impossible to force open a rear door when there's no door, much more difficult to attack the driver from behind when your say next to a police officer
I loved watching these as a kid, then in school the next day we'd be gabbling at 19 to the dozen with 10-4 after every sentence, 9 yr olds on a hyper sugar rush lol
For old time Californians the location or close to it is revealed-- 7800 Melrose. I recognize the area as I visited in in the mid 1960s and little had changed. The cross street would be Fairfax Ave. One of the few episodes that uses 1956 Dodges as patrol cars. They must have filmed the bookshop scenes in a real bookshop as it looks very authentic such as the 1926 newspaper with the news of Rudolph Valentino's passing. Great dialogue in this one such as when Dan tells Ms Nielsen about Larry Gardner's shady past (don't women ever learn???) Heavy set actor Gene Roth plays the part well. Sure love all that traffic circa 1956 going by !
^^^@Ronclown .. It should really be 2150 over! 2150 to Headquarters over! Headquarters receiving! or Headquarters 2150 over and out not 10-4 Ha!!! :P] .v ..
The bookshop lady is one of the endearing characters I've seen in this series, and played admirably. I would like to know the name of this actress that we see in another episode. (Too bad the credits don't detail actors and characters.) Thanks anyone, a very successful episode.
Sgt. MacDonald also portrayed an Idaho state trooper in a railroad safety film about car and train accidents made by Union Pacific in 1959, also based on true stories just like in *Highway Patrol* as well as in *Dragnet* and *Adam 12* - still riveting after all these years.
Hank Patterson went on to play Fred Ziffel on "Green Acres," William Boyett later played Sgt. "Mac" MacDonald on "Adam-12," and Art Gilmore, the narrator, appeared often on "Dragnet" as one of Joe Friday's bosses, and also narrated movie trailers in the 50s.
I am addicted to these half hour series. They are fun to watch. Old cars are great.
They were brand new when they drove through these episodes. They well built and lasted "forever". Still see some at car shows. Wish I had a 57 Chevy🎈🎈
Me too. I stay up late, or "early", some mornings, and I LOVE to watch these shows too!! Things were still decent and normal then. Everything still made sense, and was fresh, and wholesome.
Plot twist: HBO is rebooting the series and will cover the entire story of this episode over the course of three seasons and will feature HBO’s signature full frontal nudity.
Fun to watch, but a bit silly. At the end, for example, they just left the other officer's patrol car, and the suspect's car, sitting in the roadway as they drove off. Of course, there was no traffic on the roadways, so wasn't too much of a problem.
Great cars. When made in America meant quality. They last almost forever unlike todays.
Fun to see one of the young patrolman, who later became the sergeant on Adam-12. Highway Patrol was the start of many great police shows to come.😁🚓
Loved seeing these scenes from this old show. When Adam-12 came on my husband joined the LA County Sheriffs Department he said Adam 12 was very accurate! My sister and I also listen to Gunsmoke on the radio and I watch that show almost every day in black and white ! Good memorie
William Boyett is who you mean.
I grew up watching Highway patrol , the cars are awesome. I still remember the narrator intro, "whenever the laws of any state are broken a duly authorized organization swings in action.
👍👍
But not anymore. They do criminal things now.
10-4 that
Lol! I’ve been able to recite that since then. Great show!
I always liked seeing the old "winged" 55, 56, 57, 58 Chrysler products, the DeSotoes, Dodges, Chryslers and yes, the Plymouths. Some shows did have early Mercury models, I think 52, 53 , 54.
Ruth Clifford in this episode. She started acting in 1915 until 1977. She lived to be 98. You can see her in Wagon Master , a western classic almost like Wagon Train
william alderman ; Wagon Master was one of my all time favorite westerns. Staring young Ben Johnson, Harry Cary Jr. and, Ward Bond just to name a few who starred in the film.
I have the theme song, sung by the Sons of The Pioneers, saved in a folder. I have to listen every once in a while.
"Wagons west are rolling, out where winds are blowinggggg.
Broderick Crawford is a legend. I grew up watching Highway Patrol and Dragnet.
He was in the Army Air Corps with my Father!
The witness was from Green Acres! Gene Roth from The Three Stooges!
The best musical theme in TV.....a brilliant composition full of ascending and descending chordal and harmonic movement.
Scott, we noticed that, but didn't know the proper names for the phenomena.
I can't stand the beginning music. I always fast forward past it. It's too loud I think. Throughout the show it's ok though
@@JM-yx1lmI watch the whole show at a speed of 125%, but fast forward through the awful introductory theme music at 200%.
Robotic
Love this TV show! So much occurs in less than 30 minutes. Great story lines!
More show and fewer commercials back then. Each show is around 26 minutes versus The Big Bang Theory at 20 or 19 minutes!
Good storyline, well acted and fast paced. Lots of outdoors stuff with great SoCal weather. I can understand why Highway Patrol was so popular in the mid to late 1950's.
My Dad & I watched this every week, I was just 13-yrs old. Such fond memories of ‘Highway Patrol’ for me. 🥴
I watched with my dad too.. take me back to the 50s..
Best show ever! 50s was a great decade and I love being able to watch these old episodes! Thank you so much for uploading!
It reminds me when I was a little boy watching this with my family
@@larrywalker9330 I'm sure those memories are awesome.🌝
Thanks I was born in1950 yes the 50s were great too much stupity today !!!
There’s one with Clint Eastwood!
A very good episode.
Not many single proprietor bookstores in existence now. Love those old school autos.
I bought the first issue of MAD at one of those bookstores in 1963.Sadly,I don't have it today as the value of it is now going to skyrocket.
There is a one owner bookshop in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, Canada, don't even think she takes debit cards and does credit cards the old-fashioned way with the imprint machine. Great selection of books. Writes out a receipt by hand. Like stepping back in time. Always go there and never walked out without some books.
There's an unsolved cold case in Melbourne Australia of a female bookstore owner horribly murdered. They think a priest did it.
*Hank "Fred Ziffel/Green Acres" Patterson got top billing in the list of guest actors.*
Was he always old?
@@MrDamien1963 I was just thinking the same thing.
Now! i remember exactly where i saw the old guy, from the car paint shop, in this episode. I think he was playing Mr Douglas neighbor who had a pig called Alfred and who use to sit down on the couch while watching télévision, in Green Acres.
@@jeantetreault132 Arnold the Pig was his name. Arnold was Mr. Ziffel's son.
@@jeantetreault132 Pig was Arnold. They referred to him as their son. Smart pig, even went to school.
Has anyone noticed Fred Ziffle in this episode? Remember, Fred Ziffle, he had Arnold the pig who was his and Gladys's child. They were on Green Acres.
+Helen Kruse Yes, he was a great character actor and was in many films as well.(Hank Patterson) Gunsmoke, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction were his biggest TV roles; however he played a great role in several Twilight Zone Episodes; my favorite being "Kick the Can" about a group of senior citizens in a small rest home who decide not to grow old and are transformed back into their youth except one who regrets it as the episode ends.
+sonoran rain I remember that Twilight Zone episode. I ran across a young man, who may be a teen I'm not sure on here who has discovered this show and all those we grew up on from way back. I gave him my email address. I also told him to look up Ma & Pa Kettle on here,and let me know what he thought. I think he has friends too who are discovering the old shows and movies. haha I love it. They loved what they've been seeing too. So much is being lost to a generation who don't care about anything except themselves,and their news is whatever Hollywood is putting out. Sad. I wonder if the USA will see a Tricentennial as we saw and celebrated the Bicentennial as a Nation. Anyway, back to the shows. Have fun too.
+Helen Kruse Yes, I truly pity the youth of today as they have been conditioned to believe that exploding cars, nudity and vile language is "entertainment". They don't realize what wholesome family based entertainment is. Most of the shows in the fifties had common themes of virtue, good vs. evil ( and good always won out and you were left with a good feeling after watching most shows during that era)I don't even own a TV anymore as there is a plethora of classics such as Highway Patrol, Sky King, Whirlybirds and many more on TH-cam. They are now in the public domain, so they are free of charge. The new"sitcoms" are nothing more than disposable trash that have no moral compass or redeeming value whatsoever. I was born in 1956, so I was too young to watch them when they first came out, but I soon discovered the reruns and have enjoyed them ever since. FYI, Dragnet, Donna Reed, Get Smart, Andy Griffith,Perry Mason and Bob Newhart are but a few of the box sets that you can buy at reasonable prices of all the seasons boxed together. God Bless
sonoran rain I'm a little younger than you,born in 1962 but a Boomer just the same. I agree with you 100%. I love how the young ones today attack those of us who don't go along with their filth of today too. Maybe we were born in the wrong end of the century. haha I think we who are not afraid to say what you did,and feel like we do are supposed to be quiet and go away never to be seen from again. Today's youth think they know it all,but know nothing. You know, I actually read in the Bible that there will be those who will be self proclaimed wise men (and women) and who are no more wise than an elephant can fly. That is the jest of it. Now there are those who want to boycott a state because they have to put a new law out there concerning bath rooms so people like us and children can use a public rest room safely. I have not used one in years. I'm afraid to use one. The way I see it, when I am on the way home there are alot of woods between town and my place. I think I'd rather take my chances in the woods on the way home. Then boycott states who have to make new laws to protect churches, and businesses from being forced to partake in things that owner does not believe in. No one should be forced to do anything they don't want to do,and when it goes against their Religious belief, such as the baker who doesn't want to bake a cake for the gay wedding because it goes against his belief. Why should that baker be forced to make that cake? Is that one the only baker in town? Go to one who does not care. I noticed, evil ALWAYS wants to go where it isn't welcome even by force. I guess I will die with a bullet in my head one day. I will NEVER go against what is right no matter what or who says I must. I will answer to no man, but when I have to answer to my Father one day,I don';t want to have to explain away evil. You take care and keep watching and enjoying. Oh, I ran across a young man here who has discovered our shows. haha I love it. He loves these shows and I think he has some friends too that watch this and other old tv shows and movies. I told them to look up Ma & Pa Kettle, count the kids and tell me how many they count. haha I know, I did that one already years ago. haha I gave him my email and we wrote. It made me feel so good that here was a young man enjoying these shows as we do and have our whole lives. So many today are missing out and don't care and that is scary. Sorry this got long. Take care and I know we will cross paths again. Can't wait to hear with the young folks thought of the Kettle's haha
+Helen Kruse Your reply speaks volumes. We are becoming a police state where the individual has no rights and voicing one's opinion is considered "hate speech" as the baker you spoke of. Why didn't they just find another baker?No, instead, they want more than just tolerance, they want complete acceptance of a lifestyle that God expressly forbids. I will answer to no one,, but God the Father , His Son who paid our sin debt and the Holy Spirit. I will not take the mark of the beast, no matter what the circumstances. Christians will win even if it looks futile in the end as we are not going to die. We will be with the Lord in our new glorified bodies. How I await that day!! I would not trade all my years to be a child again, because the innocence of childhood is forever gone sadly. God Bless you and I've enjoyed our conversation. Kind Regards, Blake
Love those classic old cars with the metal bumpers. Far better than all those cheap plastic ones we now have.
Yep. I remember our family cars: a Kaiser-Frazer, a Chrysler Windsor ( nice large comfortable car), and a '58 Pontiac Catalina. They were great in the days of 29 cents per gallon gas.
@@toma5153 Even less when a gas war was on.
True, you knew with those if you hit a kid they'd be smashed to pieces, 2 tons and with inefficient brakes
Those lovely metal bumpers you like so much added a lot of weight and reduced gas mileage. Bumpers now are strong but lightweight, allowing for better mileage. So, there's a trade off. If you want classic metal, you can paint your bumpers chrome. Yeah, like that's going to work.
And the patrolman near the end, Officer Johnson was played by William Boyett who played the supervisor sergeant MacDonald on Adam 12.
Dan Matthews was a genius he solved all his cases within hours He didn't need CSI . Never had any unsolved cases
I was a show.
@@UQRXD Oh really Thanks for the info I thought it was on the up and up
Dan had a nac for his profession.
As long as you caught them by noon.. after that Dan was into the sauce.....
@@jimjoe9945 sad but true.
He was known for needing to film before the lunch hour hit as he brought it in a bottle...
Notice all those beautiful cars in the background scenes. Man they were land yachts but what style. Like watching an art form on wheels, like art deco of the 50's. The fins, the skirts, the hood ornaments.
And only $2900 to $3000, but then the minimum wage was a dollar an hour.
@@ralphquinteros7564 $2900-$3000 was a high end car. My Dad brought a brand new 56 Chevy in 56 and it cost $2400
HIGHWAY PATROL has always been my number one favorite crime drama. I have every season on DVD, along with other fifties favorites that include M SQUAD, HARBOR COMMAND, and a few LINEUP episodes. I call these oldies but goodies.
I remember watching all these shows. I don't remember when the Highway Patrol started.
I just know I watched this show, Have Gun Will Travel among others. I remember when I was a youngster in the early 40's when TV was just starting. My uncle was one of the first 10,000 to buy a TV in L. A. It was a table model. The cabinet was around 3 ft wide and 2 ft high and about 1 1/2 ft deep with a screen 6 inches to 8 inches big. When my family would visit I would watch and was so captivated. When midnight came the stations ( there were 3 ) would sign off by playing the National Anthem and the rest of the night all you could see was what was called a test pattern. Later on, I lived in Sunnyvale and twice a week we would drive to San Jose ( 10 miles )to watch TV at my older brother's house. We watched
Burn's and Allen' show and so on.
Those were great day's. You didn't even need to lock your door's when you left home. I remember the worst thing at school was chewing gum in class or cutting in line. We actually learned History, Math, Wood Shop, Metal Shop, English, and I could go on.
Now kid's don't know History or what is going on in the country less on the world. To busy texting crap mostly.
Parents are so permissive the kids don't understand what real respect really means.
I might be elderly but I would not trade places with kids now a days. Our freedoms have slipped away and most people don't know what true freedom is like. Every aspect of our lives are watched and now we have young college students owing thousands for a bad education and young stupid one's calling out to ban free speech, how dumb is that?
How many lost their lives to keep free speech and these young students have been so pampered by their parents and society as a hole they ( students ) have no clue what they ask by doing this.
I must stop writing and get out of here. I just hate to see what has happened to my country. Ever once in a while I get worked up and I wonder why my brother's ( 2 )fought WWII and I am a Korean vet. Why risk your lives for a generation like we have today. Most are dumber then a box of nails or a stump.
+Ray Dodson Mr.Ray, I agree with your comment 100%. I will be 54 this year. I am 3rd generation from Lithuania. I know all about the sacrifices made for the freedoms we used to have. Yesterday I saw several younger folks with Bernie Sanders stickers on their cars. They also had stickers showing they have children. Do they realize this man is an open communist? So is obama. Those brave souls who fought,died and were made lame for the freedoms only to have them thrown in the gutter. I have told many that a Progressive is a communist. Their slogan, We get things done. Yes, they get things done alright, tearing the nation down from the top down the inside out. We lost family in Lithuania helping others flee. They were not Jewish but died in death camps anyway for helping others. Even my late Husbands family was affected by this when they ran from Germany.They lost a castle and money! Yes, I agree these kids today aren't learning anything really in school. We made sure our Daughter learned about all of this. High School she did the Christian school at home. We taught her history and about the wars and why we have Memorial Day, July 4th which is her birthday,and everything they used to teach. Here,they don't want the children to learn about the wars, it's too violent.Yet they buy them such violent video games some go out in the streets and believe they are still playing it. It's ok for children of other countries to live war,yet we are not supposed to allow our children today learn it exists. So wrong. These weak people who tolerate it all would be the 1st ones put to death by Hitler and communists,and the Isis muslims. Why? Because they are weak,stupid,and cannot be tolerated. You know this is true too. I just want you to know I remember freedom, real freedom. Not this watered down version of something I don't know. The USA have become a nation of illusionists. Giving the illusion of many things, but stand up and believe in nothing. Thank you sir for serving our Nation, fighting for our Freedoms,and I for one appreciate you.
Ray Dodson
TV didn’t start in the early 40’s. It didn’t start until sometime prior to 1955 when
I was born. My dad is 87, and his dad died in 1944. There was no TV then. I
asked him. Sorry, but your years are off. In 1942, all their was, was radio.
Definitely P.S. should have kept all your comics and baseball cards from those days
Nuclear Christian you had to ruin it by bringing politics into the conversation
@Nuclear Christian A least he's not attacking the 2nd amendment unlike all his upcoming opponents; when that happens we'll become like the nations you mention. THAT is the threat to freedom I see looming.
wish it was back on TV. so many memories when I was a little girl. my dearest dad loved it. Susan london
It runs now M-F at 5 AM ET on MeTV. I watch it every morning and have the nerve to watch it here as well. Yep, I must be getting old ;-). It does bring back wonderful childhood memories from the 60s, watching TV with my grandmother, uncle, running and playing outside in the yard, riding my bike, no worry of being shot or kidnapped. Remember ‘Your FBI’ or was that what someone said at the intro of another cop show? I think that’s what it was called.
I worked a Teletype machine at a bank card center as well- I was even so proud to add it to my resume back in the day, before fax machines, scanners, email. SMH
Thanks for carrying these. I plan to share them with my great-nephews, they’ve asked where was the color on some of my others LOL - Leave It To Beaver and Tales of Wells Fargo.
Okay...who is better at intoning the famous... '10:4...10:4'...in that barroom whiskey baritone voice seasoned with numerous Lucky Strikes...and, who could wear a fedora at sleuth like tilt...the ageless ol' Brod'...that's who...'10:4'!
Thanks to Foxeema Classic for posting all these Classics! When I was in High School my mom went to work for the CHP (1970) as a Matron/Dispatcher. Between growing up surrounded by CHP and watching Adam-12 I had to go into Law Enforcement (Graduated Central California Academy in Class of 79/80). I just love these old 'cop shows'. It was a simpler time before half the kids between 12 and 20 wanted to become "Gangsters". America was better when the TV was in Black and White.
+randy109 Thank you. Very well said,and I agree.
@doctorwho0077 -- your full of bs, most crimes especially gun violence is committed by good old white boys raised by fools like yourself that voted for a comman, just check the facts and turn off faux news
These shows are a fine way to pass time, I just love them.Mathews is one of my heroes.
Kevin Davy our season o
These are great programs and it’s Saturday 29 February
Agree with you!!
1956 lite green 4 door sedan, I just love it......
This was in rerun afternoons when I walked home from elementary school in the 60's. Bad snacks but I still can taste the 5 cent coke and BBQ corn chips. Yes, we had those back then! Then back outside to ride my bike with friends, play some, back in for dinner and reruns of "Amos and Andy". Oh yeah, I still had to find time for homework, dang it.
"Munch, Munch. Munch a bunch of Fritos, corn chips".
It's not polite to Smack your lips
Gee, solid performance from Det. Matthews. Have you seen the way he blocked the road to the bandits at 24:15 ? Also I liked when Det. Matthews dispatched all the troopers in action to get those 2 killers. Solid on steering wheel, on strategy, also with his .38, in that county, no bandits can fool around him.
In case you don't believe me that the policeman is dead...here's a photo of his body.... LOVE this show!
Ruth Clifford played the bookstore owner. She was a silent star. When she was older, she worked regularly. She married in the 1920s and had one child. SHe was born in 1900 and a great looking woman in her day.
They say Broderick Crawford used to get pretty well hammered during the filming of these shows and they had to get all of his lines in by noon or they couldn’t get them until the next day. Great show, reminds me of Dragnet.
mjg263 Lon Chaney Jr was the same way. He was so bad that in a couple of films he had no lines and had to play mute.
I've read that.... he was pretty bad.
So was Jackie Gleason.
The granddaddy of all cop shows. Thanks for posting.👍👍👍👍
“That woman would do anything for the promise of marriage “ Sad.
Given her age, she was desperate, which made her all the more unwary.
What's sad " ABOUT it...all human beings need companionship...DON'T you....& yes MOST all women DO want marriage...nothing disgraceful about that....she was trusting & loved someone. Who was deceiving...& criminal......it could happen to ANYONE.......
@@karenhill3970 She was a nice lady!
Gotta love the exterior shots of 1950's Los Angeles. Check out the scene around 9:56 after the baddie steps out of the telephone booth. Street sign behind him says "Melrose 7300 W". A check of Google Earth shows it's 7300 W. Melrose Ave., i.e. Melrose and Poinsettia Pl. in West Hollywood. Street View shows the intersection today. The white garage and automobile polishing shop across the street is now Summer Buffalo Cafe. Now isn't that cool? Ya salaam!
One of the Highway Patrolmen was Malloy and Reed's Sgt. from the series Adam-12
Good grief Dan, you need to get a grease job on the suspension of that '56 Dodge patrol car... Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Its fun to watch those old sleds slid around corners, heavy , slow and rough handling .
And they always peel out and come to a screeching halt. Non radial tires?
Worst part is...They are all brand new!
And that soft, leaning and spongy performing.
Back in the golden era...the ashtrays were probably full so they had a new car on order for him!
Mr. Hanley is also Fred Ziffell from Green Acres.
For a car fleeing police, he sure made a gentlemanly stop at 24:17!
Yep he did. You'd think k he was from Mayberry where the sheriff doesn't carry a gun and no one ever gets hurt.
A wonderfully cheesy program. Haven’t seen this since I was a kid in the early ‘60s. Even then I thought it was cheesy, but great entertainment. Broderick Crawford was great. One of my favorite actors. Catch him in Larceny Inc. (1942) with Edward G. Robinson, Jack Carson and Anthony Quinn. He’s fine and the movie is a funny gem.
I watched Crawford in Scandal Sheet
@@glennso47 He was great in The Mob, too
I really enjoy watching Broderick Crawford in these shows. Glad that I found them on TH-cam. I also watched Broderick in the movie "The Mob" that's also on TH-cam. He plays a tough talking undercover detective - imagine that. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
He was great in the Daltons(1940s) with Randolph Scott. I think he played Grat, but I can't remember. Darn old age.
LedHed Steven 🎸 🎹 🎸
That is Mr. Ziffel from green acres that played the car painter! His real name was Hank Patterson. Wow! I didn't know he played on Highway Patrol.
The thing that I found most interesting why the vehicles that were used like the Buick special and all the other gorgeous automobiles that they used.Many people did not know his Sargent was later on Adam 12 also a Sargent.
Remember leave blood at the red cross, not on the highway 🤓
It was a simpler time, world didn't move so fast, most folks knew difference between right & wrong even if didn't always do the right thing. The cars weren't perfect, but were the best of that era.
Watch this as a kid, life was great for a little boy in the 50s!!!
Great for little boys now, too.
Too bad they don't make shows like that anymore I love watching the highway 🚓
Hank Patterson veteran TV actor "Have Gun Will Travel " "Gunsmoke" "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction as Fred Ziffle: Arnold the pig's father....."That's my boy Arnold" and to Sam Drucker "Arnold says you've got "Gormay" spelled wrong"
Pleasure to see the criminal caught.
"Over here tire tracks in a hurry to get away I want an impression! " LOL Dan Mathews was an amazing cop LOL
He had amazing script writers to help him.
When the dead CHP officer was found, did anyone noticed how pissed off and disgusted Matthews looked, then stormed off to go capture the killer. This shows belief is safety of the CHP and citizens and F...k the villains by killing them right away. The villain most always shot first, so the CHP had the right to defend themselves. Sometimes the villain(s) were wounded or gave up after the partner was shot. Also the brush around the burned car was not burned. These details are not really important to the theme, I enjoy the HP show very much. Sometimes logic pays off and a whole hillside doesn't go up in flames. The point was trying to obliterate IDing the vehicle. Lastly, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and the Hollywood area and revel in the nostalgia of seeing places I recognize or the street names that quickly whiz by the cameras 'eye'. When you come across some episodes with a helicopter, check the area that the villains drive or run into. It's an old abandoned quarry used to film hundred of different movies, TV shows, and commercials. In my dad's day as a kid(30's), he used to play there. It has a tunnel to hide in. One side, the quarry side has one entrance and the other side has a three-into-one entrance. Locally, it was called Three-Way. Today one can go there and see it. It's called Bronson Cave. It's off the right side of Bronson Ave. It is below the HOLLYWOOD sign and Griffith Park Observatory
I cheer when the villains (criminals) get shot and killed. Too bad today's police are literally afraid to shot the bad guy.
I can't care if a criminal gets shot resisting arrest or trying to kill the cops. I'd say "good riddance" to the dead criminal.
Few episodes of A team and Knight Rider too
Yes bone dry brush with a burned out car there, bring in columbo he'd have figured it out.
Broderick was possibly intoxicated and didn't notice lol
Great episode
Why didn't Dan and the Patrolman check the trunk of the patrol car for the missing Patrolman?
A lot of these old early shows used a single camera, not the same camera but a scene was shot with only one camera. Notice here and in others. like westerns of the 50's, they used a lot of filler scenes. A patrol car going up the highway, around a curve, a close up of Crawford behind the wheel. Cheap to produce and since most all the scenes for Highway Patrol where shot outside,(unusual for the day like I love Lucy mostly on stage, same for the Lone Ranger, Father Knows Best etc mostly in one building on a stage with three settings), they controlled costs by using filler scenes to cut down on production and editing.
Sky King used their sets too. Anytime Dan Matthews intercepted at the airport, that was where the songbird was based and filmed.
Loved Sky King as a kid.
Hank Patterson, the old geezer stable keeper on the Gun Smoke show; is now Frank Hanley, friendly car painter, who knew there was something fishy about the guy whose car he painted. RIP Hank.
Crawford gave up a pretty good movie career to focus on his drinking. This TV show was his last call really and he still couldnt quite drinking. Pretty sad when the demons take control.
Don't forget he hosted Saturday Night Live in 1977!
Hey, don't bad mouth someone who is unable to break his cycle of death.
I was an alcoholic for 35 yrs B4 I was able to break my cycle and it was only when, someone helped me to realize how destructive my behavior was and my children needed me more than the disease needed me.
Remember, not everyone has the strength to overcome our troubles, until "we see the light!"
@@scribe570I never knew that and I watched Saturday Night in those days.
I really enjoy watching these!
Great show love the 50's stuff
Dan knew what he was doing.Great actor.
it is rather disturbing (LOL) no commercials. I watched these when they came out
So they just left a couple of cars on the side of the road?
They had better dressed crooks back then and guns that never run out of bullets,
-
Here in the UK, we used to watch these terrific episodes of !Highway Patrol,' back in the 50's.
Broderick Crawford has always been one of my favourite actors, and was absolutely
meant for the part of Chief Dan Mathews.
I watched this show and sea hunt every week....Broderick Crawford and Loyd Bridges
I've always enjoyed this show. I see it most mornings brings back memories of my younger days
Best part of these old episodes is to witness they way we used to live IMHO🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Ruth Clifford does a fine acting job here.
The paint and body guy is Fred Ziffel (Arnold’s dad).
2150 to everyone. I’m loving the shows 2. They are awesome tho glad to see them all.
Whenever he calls base or an ambulance they are always just round the corner, even when they are right in the middle of nowhere. Still like it though I remember when our family mum & dad brother & sister got our first black & white TV set back in 1957, and we watched this series for the first time. Memories 😊
Gene roth as a ladies man is a role he's never played before but he's always good in any role
I knew there was something familiar about the street location when Larry gets off the phone at 9:58 (street sign visible) Melrose Ave, somewhere west of Fairfax Av, if anyone is familiar with LA or west Hollywood. Was in the immediate area in 1968, very little difference.
One of the addresses was "800 Melrose".
+Mark Muffs filmed at 7308 Melrose Ave. on Poinsettia between Fairfax and La Brea.

+john Smith Got it, yep sounds right.
Still watching on 2021!
Broderick Crawford told my father a story about a guy he knew… Tom Yorkfield, a farmer… who received a visit from his half-brother Laurence. Tom had no great liking for Laurence or respect for his profession as a portrait painter of animals. Tom showed Laurence his big prize bull and expected Laurence to be impressed, but Laurence nonchalantly told Tom that he had sold a painting of a different bull, which Tom had seen and did not like, for more than five thousand dollars. Tom got angry that a mere picture of a bull could be worth more than his real bull. This and Laurence's condescending attitude give him the urge to strike him. But Laurence ran away across a field, was attacked by Tom’s bull, and was only barely saved by Tom from serious injury. Tom looked after Laurence while he recovered and felt no more rancour because he knew that, however valuable Laurence's painting was, only a real bull like his could attack someone.
Nice. Fine professional use of Binoculars that I hadn't seen yet in other episodes. But in such terrain makes perfect sense. Big brother was watching back then too.
Ruth Clifford played the role of Theo Nielsen. She had an impressive career. She was very busy in the silent film days, and she appeared in more than 190 roles from 1916 to 1984.

"32-44, you search east on Highway 25. 42-20, search west on Highway 25, 10-4?"
Classic Dan Matthews!
Terrific actor with his police persona, Brodrick was perfect for the part of the highway patrolman.
Surprizing how many people were called Tenfor back in the day.
Lol
Great seat covers in 2150's car. Real Police issue.
The supreme court ruling on self incrimination (Miranda rights) was made in 1966. The was filmed in 1956, 10 years before ruling, so there was no such thing as reading a suspect their rights.
Thank you!!!!
It's a "spontanious admission". It can be used in court.
Yet, people are tried all the time, get aquitted, then face Federal charges related to the underlying incident. It's a choppy way around the 5th amendment. There are no laws anymore. It's all a game now, sadly.
a nd we have progressed from Miranda rights to apologizing to career criminals naming community centers after them and giving them millions of tax payer dollars, thanks feel good liberals! why dont they move to a communist tyrannical country that lives up to their standards.
Miranda doesn't apply until you question them. You must read them their rights before questioning.
Rumor is that car is still running on the side of the road.
Thank you, nice clear upload … great for the cars!
@ 20:02, did you notice a backyard incinerator ? Everyone in those days had one and it was legal to burn your trash.
we had one
I was born in 52 and we had one in the back yard in Culver City
Somehow I think that was better. No landfills. More paper than plastic garbage.
At 9:57, he steps out of the phone booth at the southwest corner of Melrose Avenue and North Poinsettia Place in Los Angeles. The camera is looking north along Poinsettia.
I looked at it on Google Maps. It's a bit different now...
Five minutes later another migrant worker came along and found another patrol car abandoned with the engine running, next to it was a light green 1956 four door sedan in the same condition partially blocking the road. He ran to a phone and the whole cycle began again…
Crawford’s license was often suspended so he couldn’t drive on state roads. He always was seen driving off the beaten path.
I like watching this in the morning before I go to work 50s TV is great. I wish me TV would bring back 77 sun set, strip
As always, this was a very good episode.
Can’t believe police car is a 2 door and a officer sat in the back seat with the criminals 😮 things have really changed
Standard procedure in many countries, impossible to force open a rear door when there's no door, much more difficult to attack the driver from behind when your say next to a police officer
The car he's jacking is a 1956 Plymouth.
I loved watching these as a kid, then in school the next day we'd be gabbling at 19 to the dozen with 10-4 after every sentence, 9 yr olds on a hyper sugar rush lol
Dead officer didn't report in that he was in pursuit of the car coming out of the paint shop.
For old time Californians the location or close to it is revealed-- 7800 Melrose. I recognize the area as I visited in in the mid 1960s and little had changed. The cross street would be Fairfax Ave. One of the few episodes that uses 1956 Dodges as patrol cars.
They must have filmed the bookshop scenes in a real bookshop as it looks very authentic such as the 1926 newspaper with the news of Rudolph Valentino's passing.
Great dialogue in this one such as when Dan tells Ms Nielsen about Larry Gardner's shady past (don't women ever learn???) Heavy set actor Gene Roth plays the part well.
Sure love all that traffic circa 1956 going by !
Exciting episode
Corporal punishment was an big thing back in those days.
I like this show,it keeps you're interest in solving crimes etc.
2150 by. Good episode.
^^^@Ronclown .. It should really be 2150 over! 2150 to Headquarters over! Headquarters receiving! or Headquarters 2150 over and out not 10-4 Ha!!! :P] .v ..
I love those police cars. They look tough and rugged.
Crawford was a trained ballet dancer and his catlike moves prove he was a good one.
He sure got to be a large cat.
The bookshop lady is one of the endearing characters I've seen in this series, and played admirably. I would like to know the name of this actress that we see in another episode. (Too bad the credits don't detail actors and characters.)
Thanks anyone, a very successful episode.
deja vu from my childhood. I feel younger now :)
Crawford had a tremendous memory, a great actor.
Also noticed William Boyett (Officer Johnson) who played Sgt MacDonald of Adam12.
SERGEANT Johnson, just like Adam-12 .
OOPS ! He hadn't made Sergeant yet !
Sgt. MacDonald also portrayed an Idaho state trooper in a railroad safety film about car and train accidents made by Union Pacific in 1959, also based on true stories just like in *Highway Patrol* as well as in *Dragnet* and *Adam 12* - still riveting after all these years.
24:35 - you guys got BUSTED! Now California's San Quentin Prison will be your digs upon conviction.
Hank Patterson went on to play Fred Ziffel on "Green Acres," William Boyett later played Sgt. "Mac" MacDonald on "Adam-12," and Art Gilmore, the narrator, appeared often on "Dragnet" as one of Joe Friday's bosses, and also narrated movie trailers in the 50s.
