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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
+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
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.
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.
I collect the Danbury and Franklin mint models of those cars and trucks, it’s always fun to spot one I have a model of. I notice they never give the make of the cars in their descriptions on this show only giving year color and body style. Wonder if it was some kind of sponsorship or licensing thing that they couldn’t use makers names back then? I have noticed different brands for the majority of vehicles in different episodes especially the cop cars and it makes me wonder if the car companies weren’t in a sponsorship war over this popular tv show.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@TheBatugan77 I just saw him in a 1969 episode of Get Smart and he actually seemed pretty together and funny, maybe he beat the issue (or maybe they filmed it 1st thing in the morning).
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.
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!
I lived on Poinsettia Pl, around that time and shopped in Neilsens used book store very frequently. In a couple of shots you can see the famous Carolina Pines restaurant across the street. I was only in it once, for a wedding reception. It seems like a million years ago.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'!
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.
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.
Broderick got him a Hemi ! Dodge D50 or D500? I guess that was the first year that they had a nice 3 speed automatic instead of the hobbling 2 speed Powerflyte. Little engine but lots of top end power and high RPM capacity for its time.
These shows make me ill just thinking of the cars we drove and filled our high school parking lot (late 70s). 90% would be prime classics now ... I MISS MY CHEVY SS!
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.
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 😊
We never knew exactly what the make, or the brand of the so-called 1956 four door hardtop light green sedan was. In other words, was it a Studebaker, Chevy, Ford or even a Mopar, for that matter? We'll never know...! Thank! you so much, for this great download. Johnny, Montreal, Canada!
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.
These shows crack me up. My first car was a 56 dodge. 2 or 3 years later I bought a 56 dodge d-500. All you hot rodders know what that was: Coronet, Hemi, HD suspension, big brakes. Wish I ad it now.
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.......
10:30 is William Boyett who was Sgt. MacDonald in Adam-12, and the narrator at the beginning was Art Gilmore who was Lt. Moore on Adam-12. Funny how you can recognize their voices immediately. Yeah Adam-12 was/is my favorite tv show...lol
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"
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.
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.
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.
@21:40, using Google Earth, scene appears to have been shot around #2277 West Live Oak Dr. before the street was really developed, note Griffith Park Observatory visible in background. Also visible downhill in background as sunlit residences are #5520 Ridge Oak Dr., #2325 E. Live Oak Dr. & #5428 Red Oak Dr. @21:46, 22:14, 22:30, 23:05 & 23:29 appear to be first acute right turn going uphill on Mt. Hollywood Dr.
24:28 That guy ratted out his partner in exactly 3 seconds!! That must be some sort of "Snitch Record"! I once saw a kid, about 12 years old who had pissed his pants rat out his partners in about 5 seconds, but HE was a KID. That fool isn't going to do very well in the Joint...
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
@@henryhorner3182 Today's police are worried about the liberal backlash and sympathy for the poor misguided misunderstood criminal. As well as getting sued out of their shoes.
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.
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 !
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.
Not only Fred Ziffle, but also a very young Mac from Adam-12, played by William Boyett. He doesn't appear in every episode though. I'm just trying to work out about when he became a regular or at least a recurring character.
^^^@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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
A legend & a repeat drunk driver, who for most of the series wasn't allowed to drive on public roads. Could there ever be a more phony show than this?
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
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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
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.

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.
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!!
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
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.
@@RodgerMudd 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...
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.
There's two bookshops here in Placerville
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
I collect the Danbury and Franklin mint models of those cars and trucks, it’s always fun to spot one I have a model of. I notice they never give the make of the cars in their descriptions on this show only giving year color and body style. Wonder if it was some kind of sponsorship or licensing thing that they couldn’t use makers names back then? I have noticed different brands for the majority of vehicles in different episodes especially the cop cars and it makes me wonder if the car companies weren’t in a sponsorship war over this popular tv show.
*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.
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.
And the patrolman near the end, Officer Johnson was played by William Boyett who played the supervisor sergeant MacDonald on Adam 12.
1956 lite green 4 door sedan, I just love it......
Never the make of the vehicle.
The granddaddy of all cop shows. Thanks for posting.👍👍👍👍
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
@@kennethlindsey8357 That's not what she said. Lol
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.
🍻🍷🥴🤓😎
@@TheBatugan77 I just saw him in a 1969 episode of Get Smart and he actually seemed pretty together and funny, maybe he beat the issue (or maybe they filmed it 1st thing in the morning).
I've always enjoyed this show. I see it most mornings brings back memories of my younger days
Isn't Frank Hanley, the car painter Mr. Ziffel from Greene Acres? (The neighbor with Arnold the Pig).
I've been watching this show since 1960 and I love it...,
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.

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!
I lived on Poinsettia Pl, around that time and shopped in Neilsens used book store very frequently. In a couple of shots you can see the famous Carolina Pines restaurant across the street. I was only in it once, for a wedding reception. It seems like a million years ago.
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.
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.
Great show love the 50's stuff
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 these!
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.
One of the Highway Patrolmen was Malloy and Reed's Sgt. from the series Adam-12
Great episode
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!
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.
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.
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.
2150 to everyone. I’m loving the shows 2. They are awesome tho glad to see them all.
"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.
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'!
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.
Best part of these old episodes is to witness they way we used to live IMHO🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I watched this show and sea hunt every week....Broderick Crawford and Loyd Bridges
In case you don't believe me that the policeman is dead...here's a photo of his body.... LOVE this show!
That,s a first the man who played Fred zifle played in hwy payrol
Watch this as a kid, life was great for a little boy in the 50s!!!
Great for little boys now, too.
@conniew todays boys don't enjoy anything except video games and cell phones. ojahn6445
Great show and great suits and hats too
Too bad they don't make shows like that anymore I love watching the highway 🚓
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.
Broderick got him a Hemi ! Dodge D50 or D500?
I guess that was the first year that they had a nice 3 speed automatic instead of the hobbling 2 speed Powerflyte.
Little engine but lots of top end power and high RPM capacity for its time.
These shows make me ill just thinking of the cars we drove and filled our high school parking lot (late 70s). 90% would be prime classics now ... I MISS MY CHEVY SS!
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.
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 😊
We never knew exactly what the make, or the brand of the so-called 1956 four door hardtop light green sedan was. In other words, was it a Studebaker, Chevy, Ford or even a Mopar, for that matter? We'll never know...! Thank! you so much, for this great download. Johnny, Montreal, Canada!
Funny...make is much easier to determine than year model. And much more useful info. A script writing error.
They probably couldn't say the actual brand names without paying royalties I'm guessing
Still watching on 2021!
Gene roth as a ladies man is a role he's never played before but he's always good in any role
Dan knew what he was doing.Great actor.
I like this show,it keeps you're interest in solving crimes etc.
Mr. Hanley is also Fred Ziffell from Green Acres.
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.
These shows crack me up. My first car was a 56 dodge. 2 or 3 years later I bought a 56 dodge d-500. All you hot rodders know what that was: Coronet, Hemi, HD suspension, big brakes. Wish I ad it now.
“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!
That was a good episode
@ 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.
As always, this was a very good episode.
it is rather disturbing (LOL) no commercials. I watched these when they came out
Pleasure to see the criminal caught.
Thank you, nice clear upload … great for the cars!
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
Why didn't Dan and the Patrolman check the trunk of the patrol car for the missing Patrolman?
10:30 is William Boyett who was Sgt. MacDonald in Adam-12, and the narrator at the beginning was Art Gilmore who was Lt. Moore on Adam-12. Funny how you can recognize their voices immediately. Yeah Adam-12 was/is my favorite tv show...lol
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"
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.
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...
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.
3:47 Hank Patterson (1888 - 1975). He's probably best remembered as Fred Ziffel in the Green Acres series on CBS.
Remember leave blood at the red cross, not on the highway 🤓
Thank you for a glimpse of my child good x

24:28 That guy ratted out his partner in exactly 3 seconds!! That must be some sort of "Snitch Record"! I once saw a kid, about 12 years old who had pissed his pants rat out his partners in about 5 seconds, but HE was a KID. That fool isn't going to do very well in the Joint...
When youre faced with going to the gas chamber for killing a cop, you'll tell the truth real fast.

When Matthews rapidly barks a long list of orders over the radio and then says 10-4, I'd love the reply to come back as: "Come again?"
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
@@henryhorner3182
Today's police are worried about the liberal backlash and sympathy for the poor misguided misunderstood criminal. As well as getting sued out of their shoes.
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.
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 !
The paint and body guy is Fred Ziffel (Arnold’s dad).
I would rather watch television shows like this than these cheap laugh trek flush toilet shows of today. Now this is entertaining.
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.
Love this classic been watching since episode 1 with no adds today I had to watch 2 adds with this episode..any idea why?
How many 1956 green 4 door sedans were there? 😮
Not only Fred Ziffle, but also a very young Mac from Adam-12, played by William Boyett. He doesn't appear in every episode though. I'm just trying to work out about when he became a regular or at least a recurring character.
Exciting episode
Surprizing how many people were called Tenfor back in the day.
Lol
