Everyone take note; these episodes are 26 minutes long and ran in a 30 minute time slot. That means a total of 4 minutes of commercials. Sadly, those days are gone forever.
I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1950's. All scenes I recognize as local. Many so called "country scenes" were actually shot from Mullholland drive. Zoo scenes from Griffith Park. Here it looks like Ventura County.
...These are good stories and well executed, especially considering how short they are...but...anyone else besides me watching these at least partly for the classic cars?.... :)
Amusing how often they scooted across the seat to enter or leave a car. I used to see just a few people doing that; mainly if there was heavy traffic on the street. Couldn’t do that with most vehicles today.
Broderick Crawford was a great actor and a tough cookie in real life also he did like his alcohol also but he was still a good guy and perfect for this part
Nothing wrong with alcohol. It isn't in the dying, but in the living. No one gets out alive. ("It's judgement that defeats us." - Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now.) My brother drinks every day and is highly responsible and moral. He's been doing this for years.
Love the classic cars. Fins were in. Love it. Crawford immortalized the character Dan Matthews. I don't think any other actor could have filled the role any better. He is to Dan Matthews as Clayton Moore is to the Lone Ranger and Johnny Weismuller is to Tarzan.
I remember the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan's, they used to be on TV in the early 70s when I was a kid, but they are nowhere to be found on Y.T. or anywhere I know of!
@@BETTERWORLDSGT I most certainly do remember then fondly. Weissmuller was my favorite Tarzan and my favorite Tarzan movie with him is Tarzan's New York Adventure. My favorite line was when he hears the opera singer on the cabbie's radio "Woman sick, cry for witch doctor." Cracked me and my brother up and we both still use it today.

Been watching these for about 3 days straight. These cars kill me. And now we get a 56 Desoto with factory wire wheels. Guarantee you it had a Hemi in it!
What I find so striking about old TV shows like this is how well acted/directed they were and how they had a moral underpinning to them while still being entertaining...quite the difference on what you see on much of TV these days and it is certainly reflected in the low standing morals in today's society...
bring back the old days,,,,,sexism and all . i lived it and it was a much more secure time frame. people respected each other. EVEN the low lifes had much class and respect.
The producers of these shows seemed to feel that they had a duty to be role models to the audience and not just reflect immorality. Maybe it was all a bunch of hypocracy but it sure looks good in retrospect.
Well, back then censorship was strictly enforced. Gosh, in I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver, two of the top comedies of that era, the bedroom of the house or apartment was never filmed. Same for the classic comedy The Honeymooners.
That's right. Never once did we see the bedroom in those great comedies. In those days, Hollywood didn't just reflect moral standards, they set them based on religious principles. Then we had the "Do your own thing" hippie revolution and a lot of people lost their way without some kind of a standard to follow, even if it was too puritanical. Too much to be said here on the subject.
"A women can change the color of hair easy as she can change her mind " Imagine the hissy fits that statement would fire up if a TV show had that line in it ?

This series had a few murderous women in it. Or brazen thieves. Either way they're dangerous. The '56 Chrysler convertible is actually a low buck Windsor (New Yorkers had a different grille) With the optional factory wire wheels (cost $500 a set in 1956) makes it look sharp. Only 1011 were built and I hope it survived to be a collector's pride and joy.
The lethal blonde was played by Angela Stevens, who was a busy, busy starlet in the 1950s. She did Three Stooges shorts, Jungle Jim movies as well as leads in 'B' movies and small roles in 'A' movies.
@@k.c.marshall921 Back in the 30s, 40s, 50s and even the 60s, if you went to see a movie, there was usually a second feature shown before the main feature. It would be a low budget comedy or thriller, or after about 1940, it would be a noir, a downbeat melodrama where the main character gets sucked into a nightmarish situation. Sometimes, the 'B' movie would be better than the feature. A good example of a low budget but well made "B' movie is "Detour" where a chump guy picks up a female hitchhiker from hell. The leads in that movie most likely played supporting characters in bigger budget "A" movies where the stars might be Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Sometimes an actor would nver break out of 'B' movies, and other times like John Wayne who played nothing but 'B' westerns for 10 years, would get a chance at an 'A' picture and catch fire.

Doyle Houston fell for his sinful weakness if had minded his own business and went on with what was doing !?! Those blondes girls will do it to everyone. These shows always have the Fastest slickest coolest cars not mention pretty daims with great legs . To bad we can't smell the perfume !
On the other hand, you could spray some in the car to confuse and mislead the Highway Patrol into thinking an attractive pair of young women were the actual perpetrators.
Two door cop cars really make no sense,then or now. California and other states had Mustangs in the 80s, crammed full of equipment no place to transport prisoners, merely mobile speed traps. The new trend now is suv with high center of gravity that are not safe at high speed, should have stuck to the Chargers.
When I lived in Alabama, the police often confiscated property from drug runners. One Highway Patrolman in my area drove a Corvette Stingray. A female officer had a hopped up VW Beetle.
not true--the ford explorer police out preformed everything in tests--the nevada patrol has ones that hit 200mph and the officers say it handles excellent,got to have the nascar tires--ford has it figured out and the cops like them because they can see ahead--the little late 70/80ties mustangs killed many officers--one mistake and your crashed--the crown vic police was the safest by far for an officers--big and strong and handles really well and forgives a driving error
@@dethray1000 Nascar tires? They won't even go 500 miles and they're wore out. Two hundred miles an hour in a Ford? Only if you drive it off a cliff like the Coyote on the Road Runner cartoon. There was cop chase in Texas recently where the white Challenger outran the koppers and the TV news helicopters, and escaped.
most comments miss the point of Highway Patrol details of Broderick Crawford's personal life are entirely irrelevant in any analysis of cinema art the episodes are no less than an true slice of American history:Eisenhower years low budgets ensured authenticity; no sets no special effects; we can see what highways, motels, banks, homes, supermarkets etc really used to look like and what about those magnificent cars: Buicks, Chryslers, Mercurys etc ? obviously, in that thrifty age, no producer in his right mind would crash, burn or explode a perfectly good vehicle I wish some automotive expert could take the time to identify the makes and models in each episode some surprisingly sexy young women, yet never even a hint of hanky-panky! it was a touch of genius to get an Oscar winner like Broderick Crawford as star other police shows had forgettable second raters like Jack Webb or Roger Smith? half-hour format and little-known scriptwriters contributed to uncomplicated plots and down-to-earth emotional context
+Charles Kinbote thats what I like about this show, hearing the real thing, even the tires on the road, even piston engined aircraft flying above. Not to mention good old fashioned police work without all the forensic technological gadgets that are given so much credit these days. A smart cop is what it takes.
Charles Kinbote ---- Of course, you are quite right that Brod Crawford's personal life and problems have nothing to do with his Highway Patrol character. I don't think anybody would disagree. Yet, TV shows are embedded in the American culture and conscience, and it's great fun to try to juxtapose the private lives of celebrities against the roles they play in the media. There's nothing wrong with that, whether it's relevant or not. Be honest, now: don't you find it exceedingly amusing that Crawford was frequently banned from driving on account of his many DUIs, but in HP he's frequently seen tearing up the scenery in those big 50s boats as he rushes to apprehend bad guys? In the later episodes toward the end of the series' run, he's sometimes unmistakably inebriated on screen. Relevant or not, these tidbits are great fun to observe.
15:25 - I'm amused by the attitude of the murderess, after she's just killed the guy - "Boy, am I hungry! I'll be glad when we get outta this mountain air before I pick up another 10 pounds."
Sign in restaurant: Baked Halibut, $.65. I grew in these times. Rarely could we afford a restaurant meal. Ate baked frozen fish sticks on Friday evenings. With my mom's fried American potatoes. Good memories.
Those Chrysler Imperials were awesome. We had a 1957 Buick Special similar to what's in the show. Dad bought a Ford, kept for a short while and said that's it, got rid of it and went back to GM and that nice Buick.
I'll take that '56 Chrysler Windsor convertible any day. At least I've got a model that I built of it from the old Revell hardtop kit with the multi piece body.
That was my first model kit. After that, I bought the AMT 3-in 1 kits; so much easier and sturdy enough to play with. And you always had lots of parts left over from the versions you didn't use.
Yes, the AMT model cars were always the most popular. I958 was the first year for their kits and I bought the Ford and Pontiac convertibles. I built and customized both of them. Now I've replaced them both with nice stock versions. As for the Revell '56 Chrysler, I didn't build that one until years later after my building skills improved. Those multi piece bodies could easily become glue bombs for a kid starting out. Far too discouraging but now I can appreciate them all.
B.Crawford always ends each episode with a comment; this one "The clowns at the circus they're really funny, but on the highway they're murder" (25:23).
Ok! When she walked into the diner and she ran her game, I was like sheesh! She would have brought in some very good business. With her looks and charms, she'd made excellent tips. Also, her and the gentleman would have made a perfect couple.
Makes me want to go out and buy a suit and a fedora hat. First time I went to Europe , in 70's , I wore a coat and tie every day , and it was a vacation !
I haven't heard White Shoulders in awhile!! 🙂 When I was a young man in late 60's I used to buy that as a Christmas gift 4 my mother with money I made delivering meat 4 a butcher. I didn't know it was still produced White Shoulders is a vintage scent that gives a burst of White Orchids, Florals, and Carnations with a powdery finish. However, it has been reformulated many times as the company changed hands, that the original scent is barely discernable now. But you can still get the original vintage version off eBay

As a college student in the mid 60s I owned a 1957 Mercury Monterey like the hardtop shown in this episode. Really liked the car until the push button transmission needed a rebuild. That was the end of the line for the Merc. In 1965 I paid $150 for the Merc.
Cool! I had a 67 Mercury Monterey I bought a few months after my 1st husband left me...age, not quite 21. I had 7 cents in my purse ... temp. moved in with parents, found a job at Woolco, saved all my paycheck, and bought the minty green, 9 yr old beauty in 1976. I think I paid $1000, but I could be wrong. It was mint condition...and a gas hog...LOL

Scent of a woman giving way to a robber's identity!Love these TV shows but I love B Crawford more on horseback or stagecoach, w/ six shooter, winchester ...etc.
"If there's anything I can do . . ." "There is." "What?" Pulls out gun. "Pull over to the side of the road. Put your hands behind your back." "Oh, a little roleplay. Sure, baby!"
I use to work at Walmart here in Canada. Years back, an older guy I was helping around the store showed me his weallet crammed with cash, he didn't believe in credit cards.. I was shocked at how easily he flaunted this, and told him to be careful not to wave it around! Had I been felonious at all, I could have clocked out, followed him, clocked him, and stole his wad of cash!!.
How could the accomplice possibly know where to hide in the '56 Chrysler, to pick up the robber dame? Each time the theft occurs, the other woman is there in the car, waiting.

not true--the ford explorer police out preformed everything in tests--the nevada patrol has ones that hit 200mph and the officers say it handles excellent,got to have the nascar tires--ford has it figured out and the cops like them because they can see ahead--the little late 70/80ties mustangs killed many officers--one mistake and your crashed--the crown vic police was the safest by far for an officers--big and strong and handles really well and forgives a driving error
@@dethray1000 Nascar tires? They won't even go 500 miles and they're wore out. Two hundred miles an hour in a Ford? Only if you drive it off a cliff like the Coyote on the Road Runner cartoon. There was cop chase in Texas recently where the white Challenger outran the koppers and the TV news helicopters, and escaped.
You just don't mess with Dan Matthews!! I love watching these old clips!
most comments miss the point of Highway Patrol
details of Broderick Crawford's personal life are entirely irrelevant in any analysis of cinema art
the episodes are no less than an true slice of American history:Eisenhower years
low budgets ensured authenticity; no sets no special effects; we can see what highways, motels, banks, homes, supermarkets etc really used to look like
and what about those magnificent cars: Buicks, Chryslers, Mercurys etc ?
obviously, in that thrifty age, no producer in his right mind would crash, burn or explode a perfectly good vehicle
I wish some automotive expert could take the time to identify the makes and models in each episode
some surprisingly sexy young women, yet never even a hint of hanky-panky!
it was a touch of genius to get an Oscar winner like Broderick Crawford as star
other police shows had forgettable second raters like Jack Webb or Roger Smith?
half-hour format and little-known scriptwriters contributed to uncomplicated plots and down-to-earth emotional context
+Charles Kinbote thats what I like about this show, hearing the real thing, even the tires on the road, even piston engined aircraft flying above. Not to mention good old fashioned police work without all the forensic technological gadgets that are given so much credit these days. A smart cop is what it takes.
Crude.
Charles Kinbote ---- Of course, you are quite right that Brod Crawford's personal life and problems have nothing to do with his Highway Patrol character. I don't think anybody would disagree. Yet, TV shows are embedded in the American culture and conscience, and it's great fun to try to juxtapose the private lives of celebrities against the roles they play in the media. There's nothing wrong with that, whether it's relevant or not. Be honest, now: don't you find it exceedingly amusing that Crawford was frequently banned from driving on account of his many DUIs, but in HP he's frequently seen tearing up the scenery in those big 50s boats as he rushes to apprehend bad guys? In the later episodes toward the end of the series' run, he's sometimes unmistakably inebriated on screen. Relevant or not, these tidbits are great fun to observe.
What the fuck? You have to be a libbie "man" to make a comment like that. Obviously, your "husband" isn't doing his job.

Season 2, Episode 24
Female Hitchhiker (18 Mar. 1957)
Broderick Crawford was a tough cookie in real life too. Thanks, Great flicks Foxeema!
I thought he rocked up for filming off his face? Raging alcholic more like.
Yeah, it seems like women don't wear perfume anymore.
I love watching this old show the cars are really cool to see I their glory days
Couldn't buy a doghouse for $2,500 today in California. Thanks for Open Borders.
Pay more in taxes to keep them coming. Seems like that's all I do and I'm sick of it!
@@hkk3656 You're being culturally enriched.
And major corporations constantly ducking and diving to avoid tax and manufacturing abroad.
@V J just salt the fries and stfu loser!
Racist asshole
Great episode and the best 50's show ever!!
15:25 - I'm amused by the attitude of the murderess, after she's just killed the guy - "Boy, am I hungry! I'll be glad when we get outta this mountain air before I pick up another 10 pounds."
That has to be classic
Murder is fattening!
Murder is fattening!
Never take you eyes off a suspect even a woman. That was careless of him.
❤ that one great 👍 love this show still watching 2022
Sign in restaurant: Baked Halibut, $.65. I grew in these times. Rarely could we afford a restaurant meal. Ate baked frozen fish sticks on Friday evenings. With my mom's fried American potatoes. Good memories.
Yum!, me too!.
Great T.V. I love it. great car spotting too.
Cars of the fifties had looks,...character and power.....I know cause I had several of them.

Those Chrysler Imperials were awesome. We had a 1957 Buick Special similar to what's in the show. Dad bought a Ford, kept for a short while and said that's it, got rid of it and went back to GM and that nice Buick.
@@1mrstutt There were no Chrysler Imperials back then.
I'll take that '56 Chrysler Windsor convertible any day. At least I've got a model that I built of it from the old Revell hardtop kit with the multi piece body.
That was my first model kit. After that, I bought the AMT 3-in 1 kits; so much easier and sturdy enough to play with. And you always had lots of parts left over from the versions you didn't use.
Yes, the AMT model cars were always the most popular. I958 was the first year for their kits and I bought the Ford and Pontiac convertibles. I built and customized both of them. Now I've replaced them both with nice stock versions. As for the Revell '56 Chrysler, I didn't build that one until years later after my building skills improved. Those multi piece bodies could easily become glue bombs for a kid starting out. Far too discouraging but now I can appreciate them all.
I may have liked the glue just a tad too much. Ha
I hope you mean on your models, not up your nose. Did you save any of those old model cars?
I wish; but I still have a bag of parts somewhere. Do you still have any of yours?
A girl 👧 can change her hair faster then she can change her mind you got that right ✅ remember that one guys 👦 😏 😉 ❤
B.Crawford always ends each episode with a comment; this one "The clowns at the circus they're really funny, but on the highway they're murder" (25:23).
think about this for a second...who would thumb down this video? only a psychopath weirdo!
Today's cars all look the same, it was good to say oh man a 1956 ford in this tv show of the 50's
I watched many of these episodes in the early to mid 1960’s. Some I am seeing now for the first time, some I remember.
Ok! When she walked into the diner and she ran her game, I was like sheesh! She would have brought in some very good business. With her looks and charms, she'd made excellent tips. Also, her and the gentleman would have made a perfect couple.
in case you didn't know,its a tv show with story line!!!! not real nit wit
Makes me want to go out and buy a suit and a fedora hat. First time I went to Europe , in 70's , I wore a coat and tie every day , and it was a vacation !
Perfume

Back in the day...
Tabu, white shoulders and Chanel #5
We're the popular ones.
I haven't heard White Shoulders in awhile!! 🙂 When I was a young man in late 60's I used to buy that as a Christmas gift 4 my mother with money I made delivering meat 4 a butcher. I didn't know it was still produced
White Shoulders is a vintage scent that gives a burst of White Orchids, Florals, and Carnations with a powdery finish. However, it has been reformulated many times as the company changed hands, that the original scent is barely discernable now. But you can still get the original vintage version off eBay
B C what a fantastic actor great TV back then 👍 great shows thanks four putting this one on
no fat on these scripts
Both women were different ... like that's something unusual? Ah the misogynistic 1950s
"Oh I'm going there Miss, I'd be glad to take you to Landfield"
Oh... I couldn't ask you to do that"...
"Oh I'm going thru there anyway, and besides... I need a little'.... Company if you know what I mean.... 15 minutes would just about do it..."
No gun safety in thouse days
1956 New Yorker convertible, WOW! Top shelf back then. 🤓 best automobile on the market then

love this series. Need a really good windscreen for the mic outside. Looks like these guys just sent up and shoot no matter what the ambiance is. Some shots the wind is blowing pretty hard. Looks like available light outside. Shot/edit/ship it!
I always trail suspects in a 1955 Ford Fairlane so as not to be noticed.
Amen to that to me once a woman where's any type tattoo she is no longer feminine you might as well date as sailor
A tattoo on a woman is like a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
I also watched these in the 5Os as a young Boomer! I still love them!

Broderick sure talked fast if he was drunk, plus he reminds me of Tony Serprano...
he was drunk,all the time but he got the job done--many dui's-he was driven home many a times by officers--they tried looking out for the guy
As a college student in the mid 60s I owned a 1957 Mercury Monterey like the hardtop shown in this episode. Really liked the car until the push button transmission needed a rebuild. That was the end of the line for the Merc. In 1965 I paid $150 for the Merc.
Cool! I had a 67 Mercury Monterey I bought a few months after my 1st husband left me...age, not quite 21. I had 7 cents in my purse ... temp. moved in with parents, found a job at Woolco, saved all my paycheck, and bought the minty green, 9 yr old beauty in 1976. I think I paid $1000, but I could be wrong. It was mint condition...and a gas hog...LOL
1972 working for NYC( Neighborhood Youth Core), Siskiyou National forestery dept. Makeing 1.35 an HR, filling up chuck holes every day with hot asphalt, to young to drive but my sister Joanne, would take us in my 1957 Chevy, 4 Dr Yellow body, white roof, stock hub caps, with a 235 big block 6 cylinder,automatic transmission, We got 9 miles to the gal, at 24 cents a gal of gas,The movies at the drive in were on dollar night, best darn job I ever had, plus memories
All for $125.00 the cost of 3 tons of rolling Detroit finest steel...
Plot twist. Before she could get her pistol out, the driver pulled his. Serial killer. Plugged her, twice.
The trail led right to the perps once Mathews got the scent.
Imagine who quick he'd solve cases if they had had CCTV
Interesting to note how Matthews was able to report the license plate number from a car that was driving by at 35 mph....
I really enjoy watching these shows! Thank you for uploading them!
Scent of a woman giving way to a robber's identity!Love these TV shows but I love B Crawford more on horseback or stagecoach, w/ six shooter, winchester ...etc.
"If there's anything I can do . . ."
"There is."
"What?"
Pulls out gun. "Pull over to the side of the road. Put your hands behind your back."
"Oh, a little roleplay. Sure, baby!"
HAHAHAHAHAAAA!
I probably would have sped up. Her safety wold depend on me being alive.
They seemed like such nice girls...
The guy in the restaurant told the waiter there is a fly in his soup. The waiter said don’t say that too loud then everyone will want one.
Customer..."Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?."....Waiter..."Looks like the backstroke!".
I think they had so many convertibles back then as most vehicles were not air-conditioned.

Who needs bloodhounds when the detective uses his nose ?
I use to work at Walmart here in Canada. Years back, an older guy I was helping around the store showed me his weallet crammed with cash, he didn't believe in credit cards.. I was shocked at how easily he flaunted this, and told him to be careful not to wave it around! Had I been felonious at all, I could have clocked out, followed him, clocked him, and stole his wad of cash!!.
I bet you’re glad you didn’t..😊
I thought the 4th to last letter in the word Doughnuts is the letter H. What am I missing here?
Even the bad women dressed classy back then . Now for 2023 the women dress trashy .
Couldn't agree more. Though we've made progress in a lot of ways, how we dress isn't one of them ☹
@@DenitaArnold technology wise we have made progress . As a society we have turned into crap .
It appears that Capt. Mathews certainly had a nose for crime.
Hilarious!
+Don Neary mystical powers...
I told you that woman smelled.
That restaurant sign with " Nut" in it always makes me try to read what it says.
Hey a guy not in uniform. .Say hey can I use your car. Then mind if I drive .
How could the accomplice possibly know where to hide in the '56 Chrysler, to pick up the robber dame? Each time the theft occurs, the other woman is there in the car, waiting.
Must have communicated by cellphone :)
its a tv show dummy!!!!
Nice Chrysler 300 convertible and Imperial with stainless trim on top.
Wow even the criminals dressed nice back then
Oh ya ubetcha...highway patrol on a gravel rode in middle of nowhere 5 minutes after the crime. Always, every episode. Dragnet worked on some cases for months and years.
The " Spudnut" store as the diner.
A big lovable Teddy Bear is not one of Dan's traits!!!!
Dames, coppers...who could ask for more in television programming?
