I like it when they show the commercials of the day. That ipana was in a plastic ball. When I was a little kid, ipana was in a tin tube and whenever I could, I'd sneak into my grama's bathroom and eat the stuff and they'd get mad about it. That toothpaste tasted SO GOOD! then I had to brush with green toothpaste. Crest! With florestan. Tasted terrible.
I grew up in San Francisco. Born in 1944. They were always shooting this show in various locations around the city. I loved Tom Tully and Warner Anderson. The music was also great especially the opening bars as the squad car drove up Hyde Street before turning left on Lombard and heading down the "crookedest street in the world" before it was overrun with tourists.. Had a real film noir feeling to it. This was The Streets of San Francisco long before The Streets of San Francisco. Love the ads for Pall Mall at the end. No filters yet just pure smoke and nicotine. Remember with Pall Mall you can light either end. Outstanding and of course they are "mild." And they can and will kill you if you smoke them but of course no one back then knew about the connection between tobacco and lung cancer. Everybody smoked.
Retired from the SFFD in 98. Some of those old Ariel Truck Co.s and Engines were Reserve units when I first came on in 78. Love the City locations from the 50’s & 60’s. Quite a town before the Love Generation. Smelly hippies.
The "love" generation turned large parts of the city into an open sewer. Disease, public nudity, drug peddling, biker gangs, and homeless kids wandering the streets. Not very different today, actually. Add in illegal immigrants and the mentally ill.

In this and other older films, drivers often exit a vehicle from the passenger side. Could have been to economize on camera angles. Would have been easier to do with bench seats.
Common practice in the old days.That way you weren't exiting directly into traffic. Likewise when walking the street the lady with you was never to walk the curbside. It was a courtesy & safety practice.
Wish this series were on DVD, the complete series.
It is on Amazon may not be complete series though and unless it's remastered is probably not worth it.
Hats. Always, a touch of the brim when beginning and concluding a conversation. Always taken off inside when it should be. Never worn backwards.
Wonderful, isn't it.
With the commercials - thanks!!! Wish I had that round toothpaste ;>

The show started on radio. Most old time radio channels air episodes. They always start with a suspect lineup with varied characters.
A step back in time I haven't seen this in decades😮

"Hippies" were six decades ago. Do you get out much?

Just more proof that not everyone who wears a uniform is a hero.

That's my motto, and it has served me well lo these many years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sure, it's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.
Ford flathead V-8 unmarked detective cars. Cigarette ads. Search warrants issued within half an hour. Wow, does this bring me back.
Originally telecast on April 26, 1957.
Imagine, San Francisco used to be a law and order city. No poop maps, no needles, no drug addicts sleeping on the street, and no smash and grabs.
That came sfter 2000

Great to see Seals Stadium right before the Giants started playing there.

Good commercials.
Pell Mell cigarettes, or Pall Mall cigarettes?

Couldn't they just turn back the hands on the clock?
With stoic grandfatherly Warner Anderson has Mr. Serious Lt. and Tom Tully as the muscle !
Good 'ol flathead V8. Looks like a '50 or '51.
