Thanks for uploading these Highway Patrol TV Series Episodes. They are awesome. My dad Jean-Henri used to tell me about how he used to watch it as a young child when his family first came to the USA . Broderick Crawford ..... Very cool!!
I do enjoy the economic storytelling in some of these old TV shows. Highway Patrol was one of the best written, despite the fact that it was obviously very low budget. It's not better than the best new stuff, but it's relaxing, nostalgic entertainment. Very enjoyable. Thanks to Foxeema for these good quality uploads.
Neither the acting or writing seemed low budget. It seems like its expense in the quality of the show is better than anything else back or today. Why spend more money on CGI, Fancy cop clothes, over paid actors. Its only my opinion, I disagree with you its not as good as the best new stuff. There were great writers & actors back then who had to do well or starve. Today the actors get paid millions, why should they care how good their acting is, kids will piss their money away nowadays anyway. The writers were famous over many different tv shows. Many famous directors back then in movies, directed in certain tv shows. Westerns they wore cheap clothes to save money didnt detract from the story line. The actors today cant act themselves out of a paper bag. Kids wont watch a movie unless they have to pay it in a movie theater, it has to be in color, Stallone has to be realistic doing cartwheels dodging machine gun fire, it has to have CGi graphics, cussing, nudity, blood splattered on the wall, the movie has to be widescreen, bluray, not made before the year 2000 THX sound, & come in a pretty box, Young people dont know their as from a hole in the ground.

My parents owned a 1958 Buick Special 2dr Coupe HT , Black ! That car was a great car. Then Dad bought a 1962 Buick Invicta ( Wildcat ) , 2dr Coupe HT with leather seats and all Power ! AutoTrans in console on the floor and a 445 Wildcat Engine ! Man that car had POWER !!! Loved that Car ! Wish I had it now !
Funny how born in 1953 I remember watching this TV show having a toy Highway Patrol police car and two officers while I was barking out orders like Brioderick Crawford. Thanks for plaving these on TH-cam. It's been a long time.
I remember this show from when I was a little kid, and I grew up and became a police officer. To see these episodes now knowing what I know allows me to see all the gaps and short cuts the director and writers took either from omission or not knowing any better. It's kind of fun to watch these all over again in a different light.
This wasn't the only time the bad guys were driving Christine, a '58 Plymouth Fury. In this episode, it was a convertible. In the episode "Train Robbery" it was a 2-door hardtop. Matthews' cop car was a '58 Dodge Coronet.
Excellent episode. I see Dan was sporting a different pair of shoes for this episode. Almost looked like a pair of brown loafers. Maybe his feet were bothering him and needed something a little more comfortable.
They could send the drawing to the lab and have it radio carbon dated to get the exact time the artist drew it to establish the time of death to a reasonable degree of accuracy +/- 80 years or so :)
Beaver was a good show. I wonder if people back then could stoach 40 Beaver type shows. I dont remember too many innocent tv shows back then. You say this destroyed your image of the innocence of Leave it to Beaver. 65 years ago, I dont think one hears to many complaints about loss of innocence, compared to blood splattered walls today in movies. I can understand you watch only G movies. Cop shows have to be violent to be realistic. Kids have to be educated about violence, just read the bible. If blood splattered walls movies come on, I simply turn the channel. The violence on this would make kids laugh compared to garbage nowadays.
@@myronhelton4441 "Cop shows have to be violent to be realistic. Kids have to be educated about violence, just read the bible." Kids are "educated" ON violence, as modern movies are believed to be driving some viewers to commit rape and murder. Probably true. 50's movies shows didn't carry any explictly violent or sexual scenes, a clear sign of the culture that prevailed back then. The 70's were a turning point, when things began to change, with the attendant increase in sexual abuse and violence in US society.
I enjoy watching all of these videos, its amazing how the Highway Patrol and police departments can do their job, today with all the modern technology their job can go much faster and better than back in the 1950's modern computers and other technology systems.
I can see the poetic Justice of it. The husband knew his wife was an evil control freak capable of having him murdered, and decided his American freedom was more important than letting her know he was still alive.
When cop caught granger for speeding he asked why he didn’t stop right away. Grainier said his wife ran off with a highway patrol officer 20 years ago, he thought the guy was bringing her back
Craig Dallas : During the 4th season of Highway Patrol there almost was a Chinese Acrobat episode but the plate-spinning acrobat broke so many dinner plates the show’s budget wouldn’t allow the completion of the episode. That is the full truth or it could just be a rumor I’m not sure.
True ! But one episode did include the robbery of a Chinese Laundry (I think it was operated by the Wong Brothers). They had a killer slogan: "Two Wongs Can Make it White !"
Favorite of the whole series! Why couldn't the deserted wife live and let live? Other favorites also but this one is unusual. Eliot Ness would have loved this clue!
I remember seeing these Highway Patrol shows on TV when I was a kid. Haven't seen them since till just now. Broadway acts like a cop who has been eating a bunch of cross drops but you could get back in those days.
The restaurant became a speakeasy in the 1920s with illegal hooch and prostitutes. Given the clientele, a number of bad things could have happened on that piece of real estate. The one documented case was a doozy. Down a bit from the current Four Oaks site, a man stormed into a roadhouse and confronted his wife in bed with her lover. In a rage, he hacked off the male adulterer’s head with a scythe, bathing the room in blood. The locals captured the murderer and hanged him, and the wandering wife inherited all of the man’s money and property.
this isn't so much of a crime show, but an vehicle showcase -- at lest they use the Big Three, Ford, GM, and Chrysler, mostly the latter, though. love looking t those classic finned beauties.
Daniel Young yea move to Prescott Arizona It reminds me of California in the 70s It’s not hot like the rest of Arizona because it’s in a high elevation
Dan Mathews always wore a suit and never took his hat off even indoors. I also watched for something on this episode that I had read about. He had bad feet and circulation so he wore bedroom slippers with his suit. Take a look at the light tan ones tonight. 🤣
19:30 Cop gets home. "How was your day today honey" "Oh, I got clubbed over the head and knocked out again today. Bad guy got away" Bad guy gets home from work "How was your day honey" "Oh, I clubbed a cop over the head and got away, but once again forgot to disable his radio"
The Plymouth and the HP Dodge & Buick were all '58s. And usually, the copyright date at the end matches the year of the cars. But this episode had a copyright of 1955! Strange, huh?
The sign on the restaurant said " FOUR OAKS CAFE" when the victim to be came out and when Matthews and the police officer pull up to interview the waitress but the cop and Lt Matthews kept calling it | MOUNTAIN CAFE" ..... 12:48 everybody leaves the shack with the kettle left on,
This plot is just silly: A guy is shot twice at close range, yet still manages to complete a detailed charcoal sketch of his killer. Somehow the sketch pad ends up on the road. A cop decides to stop and pick it up.
Victim is shot in the chest/stomach area and is face down when found. Yet the sarge knows he was shot twice when he calls it in. Pretty observant! Or else a blooper.
"The charcoal looks fresh!" "I want to make person-to-person call to Blanch Cronin". Mmm? Oh yeah, the number is..." "It's just that I've never been an accessory to murder before". You too can be screenwriter! LOL
The great thing about Broderick was that he was an habitual drunk. When he preached about driving safely, it was against a background of multiple DUIs that cost him his driver license which was an accomplishment in the 50's and early 60's. That's why a lot of the later episodes only show him driving on private ranch roads. He's wearing tennis shoes in this episode and others because he broke an ankle or foot trying to jump off of a helicopter. I'm not sure if he was drunk then as well, but it would follow. I don't have anything against him, I just find it comical when geezers call this great television. I am a geezer too and saw this stuff when it originally aired, but even as a child I thought it was overly contrived. I value it now as an instance of how stupidly bad things were then.
"If you care to drive, drive with care." "Drive like your life depends on it....because it does." "If you drink and drive, that makes two of us, buddy."
The infamous Four Oaks Cafe... It's a slow day in the neighborhood when the Highway Patrol pulls over to look at a paper pad on the road. You could make a pot of tea, or 10 or 20, with that behemoth. That art gallery dealer is going to loot the place as soon as Mathews leaves. 20:00 "I was going to give that guy a break and write him for 60 in a 55. Now he's getting the full ticket, by golly." 21:52 "We can't hire another killer. There isn't time!" Next time, plan ahead. I like Williams' glance at Mathews in the apartment. "The place is surrounded." "Really?"
The cop pulled him over for doing 70 in a 55 . . . that's 'going to church' speed today on the Long Island Expressway, you gotta do about 80+ to get a cop to think about pulling you over.
Hush Puppies were the thing then. No black heel marks on Mom's waxed floors, y'know. Neoprene crepe soles and brushed pigskin uppers, so you didn't have to shine them; light as a sneaker or house shoe... Remember the slogan: "Hush Puppies are Dumb".
Broderick looked and sounded a bit rough in this episode. This is also the third time I've seen him wearing sneakers/slippers probably due to his foot problems.
Told you Blanche I told you it wouldn't work Dan Matthews gets his suspects before the end of each episode now it's San Quentin for blanche's boyfriend and the lady's prison for Blanche
I love the hell out of these old shows. They are awesome
They are addicting!! Terrific show

Wish all Police departments could solve their cases in 30 minutes like these guys do!
If he drew that well while dying he must have been great when he was well.
Good point.
funny
How do you know?
Dante enjoys taking a bite out of the azz of crime , boy
Broderick Crawford was the MAN. Looking at them not they are so corny, but damn, they're still so good. Brings me back to my youth.
Love the cars and the old fashion police work.
All this, packed into less than 30 minutes! Makes all the garbage that's stuck into movies, and shows, glaring. Just the meat of the story.
My parents owned a 1958 Buick Special 2dr Coupe HT , Black ! That car was a great car. Then Dad bought a 1962 Buick Invicta ( Wildcat ) , 2dr Coupe HT with leather seats and all Power !

Great Episode
The waitress is Karen Scott (as far as I can tell from IMDB). She turned in a great piece of acting at the Four Oaks with Dan interviewing her.
Mathews really gets abrupt and to the point. Doesn't waste/mince words. Would hate to cross him.

love my highway patrol..
I like how it moves along really fast 😎
No way he could've drawn that detailed portrait that quickly! Unbelievable.
Artistic talent + Photographic memory = detailed portrait
I have seen it done that quickly... We also don't know EXACTLY how long it took. Assumptions = ?
Quite right. These shows are full of logic holes. But fun anyway.
To all of the above: This is an old school cop show. How dare you seek a shovel to fill logic holes 😹
Sad that he wasted his time.Maybe if the cop had mentioned the BLUE CONVERTIBLE when he first called in ?????
This wasn't the only time the bad guys were driving Christine, a '58 Plymouth Fury. In this episode, it was a convertible. In the episode "Train Robbery" it was a 2-door hardtop. Matthews' cop car was a '58 Dodge Coronet.
frdjr252 it’s all about MOPAR
Actually, the convertible is a Belvedere. The (Sport) Fury convertible didn't come out until 1959
Ten four
"we don't have time to hire another killer...". for the 1950's this woman is one cold-hearted person
Excellent episode. I see Dan was sporting a different pair of shoes for this episode. Almost looked like a pair of brown loafers. Maybe his feet were bothering him and needed something a little more comfortable.
Lol was thinking the same
Wow. I noticed that also. Maybe he wore saddle shoes in another episode. Very popular in the 50s.
That was the first thing I noted as well.
Look like bedroom slippers

We enjoyed the episode.
The cop that found the artist's body was driving a Dodge, and when he stopped to pick up the sketch, he was driving a Buick!
+Barney Fife Yeah, but the charcoal was fresh!
+James Ruddy lol
They could send the drawing to the lab and have it radio carbon dated to get the exact time the artist drew it to establish the time of death to a reasonable degree of accuracy +/- 80 years or so :)
Yep continuity in production was in it's infant stages, as well as production techniques like airplanes in the background and birds and what not.
Barney Fife. early transformers
This episode completely destroyed my "Leave It To Beaver" image of the innocence of the 50s.

One important fact in this episode no matter what year it is - Never accept a ride from strangers! No matter how nice he or she may look!
And always use a head shot to finish the job.
I stopped giving lifts a long time ago.
@Carol Young I have been offered lift by strangers twice, all two women.
They were nice ladies, offering help, seeing me stranded. Will never forget.

I always thought it was slightly mincing. Like he was afraid to stumble. Which might be the case.
Dan look so funny in them shoes! Lol
Oh all those classic cars
If they could only see how much money there worth now
Dan comes out to see dead body, then they go to café and leave the body without anyone there.

Maybe the caterer stuck around hoping to make another sale? Playing dead is hard work in that dry heat.
Its not like its going to run off.

Good advice: always carry a box of crayons and a sketch pad in case you get attacked. But whatever happened to don't accept lifts from strange men ?

I think Highway patrol was first then later One Adam 12.
The Plymouth and the HP Dodge & Buick were all '58s. And usually, the copyright date at the end matches the year of the cars. But this episode had a copyright of 1955! Strange, huh?
And the car that pulls away at the very start of the episode is a 1954 Oldsmobile highway patrol car!
Dan talks like a pro wrestler-bad guy giving an interview.

That Four Oaks Cafe can't be bigger that a walk in closet. Probably all houses now where this was filmed in 1958
+Robert Tiscione Four Oaks café is located on Beverly Glen Bl. in Bel Air. With the price of land doubtful its still there.
In the show they claim they are going to the Mountain Cafe, not the Four Oaks Cafe
It was still there in June 2016, with the same name, but closed.
And notice that the Drink Coca-Cola buttons on either side of the sign have likely been blanked out.
Robert Tiscione Mathews called it the Mountain Cafe!
"If you care to drive, drive with care."
"Drive like your life depends on it....because it does."
"If you drink and drive, that makes two of us, buddy."
We'll be at the Mountain Cafe, 10-4. They pull up the Four Oaks Cafe.

It's a slow day in the neighborhood when the Highway Patrol pulls over to look at a paper pad on the road.
