Years later... I don't think anyone here takes these for real, some episodes are really off. Actually, they are full of impossibilities. This here is obviously inspired by the biblical tale. We're presented another version, the boss prevented the murder. The surviving brother will work for the guy who killed his brother. Imagine that IRL.
Sad, he just always worked at being no good. The father did not want to admit he was no good. Nothing is wrong with being safe, college and job rather than being a career criminal, thieving, lying, murdering. That is not seeing the world the right way.
Good point. I just saw a chief throw a street cop under the bus for his zeal in pursuing crime. This is the old days when crime was taken seriously and criminals were pursued.
A 6+ year old upload recommended by You tube in 2021. Glad I watched. Will be watching more of these. Love the simpleness of the times. Times when crimes were solved with brains rather than DNA.
so many crimes never got solved then. Technology has helped make our world safer. and doing so with higher density of people for police agencies to serve.
Likely one of the first episodes filmed (after "Prison Break" which is the first) as it's one of only about four that has the '54 Olds in it. I like the '54 Plymouth wagon. Even the plain jane models looked great when they were new. The '41 Plymouth was used in several episodes. Reynolds was indeed in a dire predicament in having to keep it a secret from his elderly father. I feel for him. This was a well written story and like several other episodes showed that Mathews was a good boss and cared about his men.
DAN MATTHEWS WAS A CHP MACHINE. STRICTLY BUSINESS WITH NO TRACE OF A PRIVATE LIFE. THIS IS THE ONLY POLICE SHOW I CARE TO WATCH. THANKS FOR POSTING THESE VIDEOS.
The first skill I learned was map folding in Army Cadets, I can almost fold them up blind folded. I heard a funny story about a modern-day cop who went down some backroads and was lost. No phone coverage, no internet for the phone. GPS coordinates meant nothing without a reference. Another character stopped and showed him a map and worked out directions for him to get where he was going. Young cops remark was handy useful things these map things
I like the way they show how to use those vent windows, like we all had to do with no AC in warm weather. Last one I had with vent windows was an '88 Country Squire...
I have them on my 93 Isuzu Rodeo. Works great for pulling cigarette smoke out of the vehicle when opened slightly, or open fully for the summer breeze.
I can understand that.. sadly, my step father was one of those guys. From what i understand, at the age of about 17 or 16 he was a juevenile delinquest whom had commited several crimes and the judge gave him an offer.. join the army or go to jail. I would not want to have served with him. He was dishonest and irresponsible and in my view mentally unfit. But I guess the military needed bodies.
The little white convertible, the helicopter flies over during the opening credits of each show is a 1957 Peugeot Convertible. Very popular car back in the day.
As outlandish as you may have thought the burning of the resignation papers was, things like that could be done in that day. I know, I had mine torn up in 1966. We live in a totally different world today, and not necessarily a better one.
Simple,honest and direct ,good vs evil.Most of these actors and writers were vets.They had seen good vs evil and really what made America great.There was always a moral to the story.Nowadays movies are just about comic book heroes and box office returns.Disgusting if you ask me.
19:36...In the '60's, our family had a '53 Plymouth wagon, which is almost identical to this one. But the one shown here is a '54, which has round turn signals instead of the more rectangular ones on the '53's.
"Dan Mathews" was a true boss in this movie. He really cared for he's officers. You don't find bosses like him now days. People were different back in the day... more kind and understanding, now days it's all about the $$$, it's sad, very sad.
First time I ever saw the Highway Patrol office..downtown, between a cigar store and a clothing store...downtown, where you have to fight traffic to get out on a chase..
@@sthompson4049 The '55 Century Crawford {Dan Matthews} drove was the real deal. Powered by a 364 CID, 236 HP nailhead. Had a 3-speed stick on the column, with 3.90:1 rear gears, positraction equipped for the '57. Specially ordered 2-door sedans by the CHP, '55 - '57.
One of the comments is incorrect. The 364 did not come out till 57. 55's and 56's still had the 322. The 55-56 Centuries had the Roadmaster engine, higher compression and 4 bbl. I confess to being confused about the car in this episode. It has the double bullet grille of the 55, but has the full rear wheel opening of the 56.
I'm 67 and that's the way I drive, too. The speed limit and no more. My truck lasts longer, I spend less on gas, my insurance is ridiculously low, and I haven't had a ticket or accident since 1974 (when I was hit by a drunk driver.)
30mph is the speed limit on Luzon Island in the Philippines. Going to Manilla from Subic Bay took forever. After one trip, I started catching the mail plane. Much faster and a lot more fun.
@@henryhorner3182 This ( from 21:12 ) is a 1954 Plymouth Plaza suburban station wagon. Early production (to serial # 243,000) would have the 218 CID L-6 cylinder with 100 HP. Later production (from serial #243,001) had the 230 CID L-6 cylinder with 110 HP. Transmission was a 3-speed manual (Three on the tree). Earlier in the episode there was also a 1955 Ford Customline ( 16:14 ) with the Y-Block 272 CID V8 engine (either 162 or 182 HP). I do recognize the familiar sound of the Ford engine as dad had a brand new one in 1955, that he kept until getting his 1957 Ford. These Y-Block had mechanical valves, the reason you hear the engine clack @ 16:12 .
There have been some interesting TV shows that were syndicated. In addition to Highway Patrol and Sea Hunt, there was Shotgun Slade, Ripcord, The Whirlybirds, and The Adventues of Superman. Superman was really the only syndicated show that aired in reruns long after production ended. I don’t ever remember the others airing in reruns.
Piper Mccoy Ken Curtis (Festus on Gunsmoke) was one of the "Ripcord" skydivers (Bill McKeever?). Whirlybirds was rerun a lot in the early 60s. "Ripcord" for jumping out of planes, 'Sky King' for flying them, "Whirlybirds" for helicopters and "Highway Patrol" for my 5 year old car identification skill. I loved Kindergarten through 2nd grade and I loved these shows. Thanks for posting this and my old buddy, Mr. Mathews.
I've been pleasurably "reeling-in the years" with this entire memorable "series from my youth" for over a week now = So many really gooood episodes of bygone days, including the equally-memorable scenes of L.A.s then largely "rural" San Gabriel Valley in the 50s!!! Ever-so-cool Dan Mathews is in Prime Form here, where a glimpse of his more "personal side" is somewhat of a rarity..... balanced with "He Da Man"!!!!! :-)
Although the landscape depicted here is late 1950s SoCal/LA area, it looked very similar all the way down to the Mexican border. I grew up in northern SD county from 1964 on and most areas there looked like that especially the inland areas. That rural look remained that way until the mid to late 70s when rampant growth and massive construction took over thanks to greedy land development concerns. That unchecked growth changed the SoCal landscape forever and not for the better! Add in an influx of out of state people, legal and illegal immigration from all parts of the world plus generous social welfare programs to attract undesirables and there you go a very crowded, homeless infested and divided state unrecognizable from that time! Well, at least we shows like this to remind us of how it used to be.
I agree with Alphonso, runaway development brings the promise of jobs. When there aren't enough you need generous social welfare programs because California is so damned expensive to live in. Does Chapman think that they can walk home through the desert? Sounds like a Republican.
@@booklover6753 I see you didn't read my entire comment. The blame is on development with incidental issues like homelessness, many I see are mentally disturbed or their minds are addled by drug addiction. Plus many refuse housing assistance because they refuse to comply with the guidelines. Love how you assume I'm Republican. You must be WORK and probably a Brandon supporter. Have a good day.
How come nobody makes calls to the police? Operator, give me the "Highway Patrol" and hurry, please! Even when they're setting up a slew of roadblocks, they never request any assistance from any "other forces"! "Help, we need the militia with their flintlocks and blunderbusses, maybe a couple cannons!
In some rural areas the highway patrol is it. Even today in Oregon, rural sheriff's departments are assisted by the OSP. In fact, I'm more likely to see an OSP vehicle than a county sheriff deputy's car.
Today we would see that Mark, a returned soldier with Citations for bravery was actually suffering PTSD , or as it was known for years, Shell shock or combat fatigue. Dan Mathews,as a skilled boss and team leader could see this and suggested he take a rest. It's hell .
This was the program that inspired my life long love of cars. A passion that remains strong to this day. I have been blessed with owning and driving most models. I note that in this episode the white American Ford was the almost exact basis for the British Ford Consul range! Well done a great series. Times were less complicated back then?
19:17--Did anyone notice that street sign? The intersection of Woodlake Ave. and Justice St. in the Canoga Park section of L.A. (Justice St. dead-ended at Woodlake) Much more developed now than when this episode was filmed.
Emergency rooms back then were made small, as they were meant for emergencies, not for illegal immigrants waiting there with 5 kids for a stomach ache medicine.
Just thinking about the episode and how the father favored the son Bill who was extremely unstable. The father put down the son Mark who did everything right and negatively said he stsyed with safe things. Mark must be complimented for his way of doing things. That negative father who had two strokes was staying with good old faithful and stable Mark as Bill did everything to stay in prison repeatedly.
I'd love ve to have that Dodge truck hauling hay, in that condition. Earliest new cars I can remember is probably, 67. My uncle had a 66 Pontiac Grand Prix. I loved that car.
@@susannewilson2258 But Plymouth did not offer any V8 on their 1954 models, only 6-cylinders : either 100 HP for 218 CID (early production to serial # 243,000) and 110 HP for the 230 CID (later production from serial #243,001). Your 1955 Dodge with Red ram was a Hemi with 270 CID and either 175, 183 or 193 HP. That was powerful for 1955.
This is great and it brings back so many memories. I grew up when this was a "main" program
Same here, 50's were the golden years!
Gunsmoke was the #1 show 🥃😎👌
Captain Matthews took out the brother with his snub nose, and had no remorse. He is one tough cookie.

Man this is when movies were really interesting. I still favor the black and white over color movies. Thank you foxeema classic.
B&W reins for drama!
I can't stand color cop shows and westerns.
The Narrator is the best, He has a voice for this!
Art Gilmore...Played on Dragnet and Adam 12....Was a Radio announcer too
I believe he lived to the age of 96.
He is good. I'll bet he drove a lot of old cars.
He was pulled over back then by a highway patrolman, and recited the opening from the show. Cop got a big kick out of that, and let him go.
Nothing captures the look of the early-to-mid-'50s better than "Highway Patrol."
I liked that 40's car that guy had.
Real classic.
Amen, love this show! It's my favorite!!
@@sarahshouse1890 It seems like crime was not acceptable back then. Times sure have changed.
One thing I'll say about Dan, he sure backs his officers!
Did he get his coffee at Starbucks,, I know he said he was going there,,,
i think he backs the good ones.
Not as good as the Sheriff.That car the crook stole sounded like a pro-street racer with a full cam.What a sweet sound the older engines made.

The pickup truck with no rear tire near the end, looked like it just rolled off the assembly line...even the rear drum was spotless!
It was a new '55. Dodge redesigned their pickups that year.
The rear drum was spotless and had shiny new paint straight from a dealership.
This show makes me want to drive a classic car.
Lots of going in and out of offices, but fortunately lots of '50s cars are also prominently visible. They're the stars of this series.
Must be why the brake drums are painted on a 1950s pickup.
These are great. Dan has really good manners in this episode.

The Highway Patrol has more HQ's than you can count in this series. This time it's a couple of offices in back of a cigar store!
California Highway Patrol Headquarters is in Sacramento.
I worked alongside a guy that was offered prison or the army. It really sucks to us who volunteered.

Edwin Vonderbeck You can get them on Amazon.com

Critics Choice DVD mail order catalog- reasonably priced too except for the first season 55-56. It's where I bought mine.
I love that the cop puts out a signal flare in broad daylight right next to a bunch of dry straw bales
and then set a piece of paper next to it!
I love every roadblock the crook makes a U-turn and the cop never sees them.
Hilarious that the truck was on blocks in the middle of the street.
I noticed the flare also, in broad daylight. Set the asphalt on fire.

Consul (4 cylinder) and Zephir/Zodiac (6 cylinder)
19:17--Did anyone notice that street sign? The intersection of Woodlake Ave. and Justice St. in the Canoga Park section of L.A. (Justice St. dead-ended at Woodlake) Much more developed now than when this episode was filmed.
This episode reminds me of a Johnny Cash song
17:26 Love that fake horse whinny.
Great Episode
@ 22:25, how does Crawford know the car was a 1954 model? The trooper only described it as "a station wagon"!
You beat me to it ,my ? exactly
Anger eats fear!
I was a Ranger. People can be scary. You have to keep your wits. Remain calm. Have the sun at your back.
emergency entrance"s are a little hard to park at these days, compared to back then.
Good episode thank you
Yeah Dan's here.Nobody was as well kept up with as Perry Mason,Paul Drake and Dan.No matter where they were they got phone calls.
Imagining Dans voice ordering at Starbucks.
In Dans voice: I want a smoked butterscotch frapachino...an make it venti
I’m glad that he didn’t kill Pop!
Thanks.
7:10 and don’t call me Shirley.
Emergency rooms back then were made small, as they were meant for emergencies, not for illegal immigrants waiting there with 5 kids for a stomach ache medicine.
Can I get an , A M E N !
AMEN and AMEN!!
Wow, well that's racist.
If it’s racist, why not let , JUST ONE, move in with YOU ! ?
I have many Mexican neighbours. And?
DJT 2020, keep the good times rolling.
Keep America Great!
I've noticed the the shoulder patches do not always the emblem on the car doors.
They were generic.
Just thinking about the episode and how the father favored the son Bill who was extremely unstable.
The father put down the son Mark who did everything right and negatively said he stsyed with safe things.
Mark must be complimented for his way of doing things.
That negative father who had two strokes was staying with good old faithful and stable Mark as Bill did everything to stay in prison repeatedly.
19:43 wait...yeah I am convinced that is a hospital.
How did Dan know that he was in a 1954 station wagon? I pay attention to detail .
I'd love ve to have that Dodge truck hauling hay, in that condition. Earliest new cars I can remember is probably, 67. My uncle had a 66 Pontiac Grand Prix. I loved that car.
That Oldsmobile was in at least one other episode. '39 or '40.
He took the easy way, college and a job
Just no ambition that boy there
The 1954 Plymouth station wagon probably wouldn't go much faster than 50mph.
I had a 55 dodge, v8. Red ram v8 engine. Powerful.
@@susannewilson2258 But Plymouth did not offer any V8 on their 1954 models, only 6-cylinders : either 100 HP for 218 CID (early production to serial # 243,000) and 110 HP for the 230 CID (later production from serial #243,001). Your 1955 Dodge with Red ram was a Hemi with 270 CID and either 175, 183 or 193 HP. That was powerful for 1955.
Class
25;00 Where he puts the resignation. Dan certainly had a FLAIR for the dramatic.
I didn't anticipate this plot twist at all!
