I have noticed on these episodes that the sound is very good, and that is because most broadcasts were in Am analog, no stereo systems. Back then there was only Am (amplitude modulation) and the sound was superior to digital sound.
The movie's sound track isn't the same as the AM sound broadcasting system. It's the movie's original sound track that's captured on TH-cam in digitized form.
Like the way when Dahlquist gets to his hideaway, he retrieves his hidden key and proceeds to "unlock" his wooden screen door, and then enters through a otherwise open doorway.
Ya, and there was no lock on the screen door. So...a wide-open hideaway...and he didn’t give much of a lookaround before entering, anyone could have been lying in wait. He should have come from the side or back, and done some proper recon...
Investigations are funny. My dad's friend was an detective for almost 30 years in New Jersey and he often said that every investigation starts someplace. There is no substitute for good field work, a good lab and serious luck. When you hit a wall, go back to the beginning. And never forget the details. Details always matter if you're trying to catch criminals or get away with a crime. Who is that actress playing Joyce? She seems familiar. Silver Canyon is still out there.
What I like about these is that it’s about the case and the officers private lives don’t come into it . I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all the H P on TH-cam more than once .
there was at least one episode when the private life of an officer was involved.. it was the episode of the officer who had a criminal brother.. the officer's wife and father were also in that episode.. it was about how the officer was personally challenged when he confronted his brother committing a crime.. and had the person not been his brother he would have shot him. After that the officer put in a letter of resignation.. but Dan Mathews thought he was making a mistake and looked into why one of his best officers was quitting.. He found out and helped the officer sort it out and the officer ulitmately stayed on as an officer.
Did anybody notice this? At 20:32 the license plate on the convertible is HDJ300 and at 21:28 the license plate on the hardtop is HDJ301. If these are real plates then they were bought on the same day by the production company. I find things like this interesting.
Cops didn't use 2-doors, partly because they were more expensive. Notice how many characters drive convertibles? I wonder if it's because the civilian cars were rented daily and that's what was on the lot for tourists in LA?
@@randytaylor1258 What? Every car the cops drove in this series was a two door, even the "plain" cars. They put the bad guys in the bad without doors to try to escape. The convertibles were because California had hot, dry weather and everybody liked to drive around showing off their car interiors and pretty women.
0000h, those sugar lips on the gal. They cut the credits, but the guy who played Malek was in many sci-fi movies as a government man or scientist and Dragnet episodes. 2,000 words for a crime story is a really low word count. They are usually at least 5k.
I had a one night stand with a woman in San Diego solely due to the fact that she has some grippers for lips! She wore thick glasses and had a killer body. Maaaan she was the queen of dome!!
Same lots of things. Remember, they were on a tight budget. Also, the show was suppose to be centered around a certain area of California so expect same views.
Fun to notice details. At 11:34, the fellow reaches above the door to get a key. He then unlocks the door, which is a screen door. As he walks in, you can see there is no keyhole on the screen door. And at 13:45, the woman pulls up in the Plymouth convertible. Does she exit from the driver's side? No, she gets out from the passenger side! And later when she tells Mathews she didn't see the guy who whacked her on the head because the living room was dark, but it was not dark at all. And later, she gets into the Plymouth to leave, and it's facing toward the street, not in the other direction, the direction she had previously parked it. At least, she got into the car on the driver's side.
Good catches and I got them, too. (Rivet-counter disease I've noticed a lot of slide-across-the-seat shots in movies and TV shows when in reality I've never seen it in real life. It's a Hollywood stunt that, I'm guessing, is caused by limited camera focus settings and relatively slow filmstocks at the time.
After the episode where there is a LONG shootout between bad guys and multiple cops where the bad guys are near a big row of all-glass front store windows and NO GLASS IS BROKEN, the lack of continuity and realism re such physical details in this show is painfully obvious. It's still entertaining -- just not realistic.
Oh, you have such fun! Yes, I noticed a few of those things. As for getting out on the passenger side, they always do that. They slide across the bench seat, no bucket seats in those days, and get out on the sideway side instead of the road side. Stay out of traffic that way. In a driveway, it doesn't matter, but old habits die hard. There's no door behind the screen door, just black empty space.
"Malek acted too disinterested in what happened to Vince Garrow." No, Dan, it's he acted "too uninterested." You may want a court judge to be disinterested, but you don't want him to be uninterested in your case.
A local TV station shows Highway Patrol episodes followed by Dragnet episodes. The Dragnet series really should be called a Talk Show. All Webb's vaunted direction is talk with very little action. Also having Harry Morgan acting more like a buffoon than a detective.
You can get replicas, but the real thing is a thing of the past. I hated to give up mine. My sister told me it wouldn't work and the wiring inside the walls of my house was worthless. She told me to get a computer and a mobile phone. Now they're called cell phones or iphones and the computer is in the phone. I have a vtech land line phone that in no way resembles a cell phone but doesn't look like an old style phone, either. Cell phones and I don't get along. She laughs as me. At least I don't have to constantly plug mine in to charge it. And, I know where it is when I need it. Good luck finding an old style phone.
Looked like 1950’s America were as hard as now out in the sticks, with a shortage of patrol drivers doing paperwork in the office, Mathews doing all the leg work, had no time to go to eat and go to the toilet.

@ Guinea Pig Lincoln and Cadillac had a relaxed ride, thus the bouncier suspension. Most other cars didn’t bounce as much, and shock absorbers were recommended to be changed every 35K miles.
@@hkk3656 Also keep in mind the condition of the streets and roads. The cars of that time had to have wallowy suspension to absorb a lot of the dirt roads that still existed.
I remember well these cars. No effort to make them efficient - gas was cheap and plentiful. The cars were built like brick shithouses, all steel with lousy springs. Watch how they bounce up and down when they stop!
That's not a description most people have. People love those classics. Yeah, they bounce up and down and not just when they stop. The roads were barely there, full of holes and rolls of dirt in odd places like water ran downhill using the road.
A young,handsome Stuart Whitman. His career should have been brighter based on his acting ability and good looks..... Hmmmm..... Such is Hollywood I suppose
I have. At least I think I have. I prefer the 56. My parents had a two tone 57. I didn't care that much for it then. Rode like a fully loaded dump truck. It looks a lot better now in this show, although I doubt the ride has improved. Funny, I can't recall what my parents did with it. Traded it in for a green squishy looking Pontiac which showed up in their garage one day. They didn't ask my opinion. I'd told them they should have kept the 57 even though it was old in the 70s, but the Pontiac was so ugly I wouldn't be seen riding in it.
a good show but in less than 30 minutes they had to solve the crime fast and catch the bad guy fast it was a good enough show that it should have been an hour long
@@larryaldrich4351 Yup -- they'd be talking about all their problems. Go watch Have Gun Will Travel or Wanted: Dead or Alive to see how much plot they could fit into a half hour.
@@randytaylor1258 A lot of what they don't show - like the boys frog hunting and finding the dead guy - are spoken by actors instead of the scene actually being filmed. This cuts production costs and fits the story into the time slot while letting viewers know what's going on.
Many times Dan talks so fast I cannot understand what in the hell he is saying . I noticed a close up of Dan talking so fast and his eyes are rapidly blinking, a sure sign that he is on drugs !
The body was discovered by boys hunting for frogs? I was thinking Darrow got out of the reporter's car and was hopping mad so the boys had mistaken him for a frog and shot him.
Those boys should have been arrested for animal abuse. They probably went on to shoot up a school or church somewhere when they grew up. People who act violently in later life are usually found to have indulged in animal cruelty in their early years. Hence, Dan Matthews in Highway Patrol, frequently portrayed as trigger-happy, was never shown to have anything to say about animal abuse. All you gun lovers, prove me wrong: name one episode where the main character ever speaks up for animal rights. In shady corners all over the USA, a pin is heard dropping.
@@Sootaroot Apparently you've never heard of eating frog legs. The most they'd use would be a pellet rifle, not a firearm. They could also spear them or gig them, using a little piece of cloth on a string on a fishing pole. The frog bites it like a bug & won't let go.
Probably two things: the super low budget show didn't have to pay for real law enforcement to control traffic on decent roads and they could let "DUI502" drive unused dirt roads, unfinished developments, etc. Remember a few episodes back in which the criminal was rolling stolen tires off the back of a truck at the pursuing HP car? Either the driver was able to dodge them or the tires bound to hit and damage the cruiser blipped out of view just before contact. This was not a case of Dukes of Hazzard in which empty shell car bodies were repeatedly destroyed from stunt crashes. Dirt roads and woods, farms and orchards were the best places Broderick Crawford. They probably leased all those fancy fin behemoths for every episode.
They keep switching l/r stereo tracks. If you have a stereo jack output from the computer headphone jack like me, then carefully take the stereo plug and catch the other channel. That's what I do. I find they usually open the show left and switch right. Amateur dubbing.
Dan Matthews was on top of his game, all the time. I don’t think anyone else mastered command of his role as Chief like Crawford did.

Dan loved maps. His favorite is 1:1 scale. He is still trying to fold it up.
I think the wall map showed eastern Oregon.
What's the blur on the bottom right of the screen of these Highway Patrol films? It's always there, on every show.
LOGO
Blurred out logo, perhaps?
Harshest theme song ever, great show though. Beautiful women.Hell yea on the Merc's as well.
That opening theme wakes you up like a siren.
@@randytaylor1258 It's suppose to. Glad it's doing it's job, just like good old Dan.
Is that Kandinsky on the wall of the Dahlquist home at 5:20?
Sequel to father knows best
I remember well these cars. No effort to make them efficient - gas was cheap and plentiful. The cars were built like brick shithouses, all steel with lousy springs. Watch how they bounce up and down when they stop!
That's not a description most people have. People love those classics. Yeah, they bounce up and down and not just when they stop. The roads were barely there, full of holes and rolls of dirt in odd places like water ran downhill using the road.
A young,handsome Stuart Whitman. His career should have been brighter based on his acting ability and good looks..... Hmmmm..... Such is Hollywood I suppose
Why does he need so much firewood in the summer?
The mountains get real cold at night.
And cooking.
Doesn’t fire wood have to season a little bit.
@@juanmonge8 If it's green. If its hard, dry it's ok.
GOTTA COOK EVERY DAY .
Dad does not know best he is a dummy who is going to put your life in danger.
Ive never seen any 55 Chevy's on Highway Patrol. .
Once or twice, '55 and '56 -- new and in big demand. The '54 Fords were pathetic with flathead V-8s!
I have. At least I think I have. I prefer the 56. My parents had a two tone 57. I didn't care that much for it then. Rode like a fully loaded dump truck. It looks a lot better now in this show, although I doubt the ride has improved. Funny, I can't recall what my parents did with it. Traded it in for a green squishy looking Pontiac which showed up in their garage one day. They didn't ask my opinion. I'd told them they should have kept the 57 even though it was old in the 70s, but the Pontiac was so ugly I wouldn't be seen riding in it.
a good show but in less than 30 minutes they had to solve the crime fast and catch the bad guy fast it was a good enough show that it should have been an hour long
With an extra half hour we would learn about Dan's wife's filing for divorce and his daughter's elopement with a beatnik.
@@larryaldrich4351
Yup -- they'd be talking about all their problems.
Go watch Have Gun Will Travel or Wanted: Dead or Alive to see how much plot they could fit into a half hour.
Dan's rapid fire speech takes almost a half hour off each show!
@@larryaldrich4351 Was Dan Matthews married on the show? I don't recall them ever referring to a Mrs. Matthews. Too busy catching bad guys.
@@randytaylor1258 A lot of what they don't show - like the boys frog hunting and finding the dead guy - are spoken by actors instead of the scene actually being filmed. This cuts production costs and fits the story into the time slot while letting viewers know what's going on.
Many times Dan talks so fast I cannot understand what in the hell he is saying . I noticed a close up of Dan talking so fast and his eyes are rapidly blinking, a sure sign that he is on drugs !
A sure sign?

Evidently, Stuart Whitman when on to play bigger parts.
Herky jerky script. Bad edits from a longer backstory.

No A/C in those old cars. Driving on a dirt road with the top down is a no-no.
Not in these shows.
23:05 Oh, well, if he'll throw in a trip to Europe! It's a deal. I'll be right out.
Anybody that can't hit a guy 20' away with a rifle had best RUN.
He should have said, not so fast, where in Europe exactly. It could have been somewhere ghastly.
A one-way ticket to the Soviet gulag!
I knew it. Back of head. .22?
The fact
Wow old dan the DUI/502 was actually driving in this episode.
Patrick TheBaptist
They only let Crawford drive the back country roads...like in this episode. Yeah he was a big time boozer...
Season 2/Episode 5
static, but no voices
The body was discovered by boys hunting for frogs? I was thinking Darrow got out of the reporter's car and was hopping mad so the boys had mistaken him for a frog and shot him.
Those boys should have been arrested for animal abuse. They probably went on to shoot up a school or church somewhere when they grew up. People who act violently in later life are usually found to have indulged in animal cruelty in their early years. Hence, Dan Matthews in Highway Patrol, frequently portrayed as trigger-happy, was never shown to have anything to say about animal abuse. All you gun lovers, prove me wrong: name one episode where the main character ever speaks up for animal rights. In shady corners all over the USA, a pin is heard dropping.
@@Sootaroot Apparently you've never heard of eating frog legs. The most they'd use would be a pellet rifle, not a firearm. They could also spear them or gig them, using a little piece of cloth on a string on a fishing pole. The frog bites it like a bug & won't let go.
They were probably catching them to play with them, like minnows.
Dahlquist would have received a mean surprise if that 'This is the Highway Patrol' line had been a fake. He came right out the door.
Water cans?
Something wrong with the sound, Very low and squeaky,,,
Worked for me. Sorry it didn't for you. Did you try the CC captioning?
No Sound?
I'm not getting any sound. Anyone else?
Pardon ?
I had a weird fan sound on the left channel.
what is the name, of this site....
California sure was dusty in the 50's.
+Locutus D'Borg that was smog/fog
+Locutus D'Borg I didn't know it was ever clean....
Probably two things: the super low budget show didn't have to pay for real law enforcement to control traffic on decent roads and they could let "DUI502" drive unused dirt roads, unfinished developments, etc. Remember a few episodes back in which the criminal was rolling stolen tires off the back of a truck at the pursuing HP car? Either the driver was able to dodge them or the tires bound to hit and damage the cruiser blipped out of view just before contact. This was not a case of Dukes of Hazzard in which empty shell car bodies were repeatedly destroyed from stunt crashes. Dirt roads and woods, farms and orchards were the best places Broderick Crawford. They probably leased all those fancy fin behemoths for every episode.
We had smog/fog too.
USAFsarge These days, people are excited about exotics. In the 50's, people were excited about the next year of regular cars.
Left audio channel is dead
Lmao! We would watch this show back in the day a laugh at the forced drama and bad acting, it hasn’t gotten any better. BC goes for bad.
Now they have lame acting, writing and directing.
Good acting enough seen at the artistic not realistic angle.
....Joyce... let your hair down...
Merry Christmas USAF! We are still here!
Luscious lips; sweet 21!
Where is the donuts
😄😄😄
Coffee at that L.A. landmark with the giant donut on top would have been cool. Or Cokes at the original McDonald's?
Do you think it was a gang killing? Ya think?
Duh 😲
No gangs were killed in the making of this episode.
Mr Malek looks just like Larry the rat Silverstein
There's no sound.
+Robert Grosse Works fine for me.
USAF - B 24?
They keep switching l/r stereo tracks. If you have a stereo jack output from the computer headphone jack like me, then carefully take the stereo plug and catch the other channel. That's what I do. I find they usually open the show left and switch right. Amateur dubbing.
I sometimes get that with TH-cam videos, but I can hear it by connecting a simple earpiece to the laptop.
