Gotta love the sound of those old Buicks starting up. My grandfather has a '57 Buick and my folks had a '58 Chevy and they both used the same starter motor for the engine. I know it's a small thing, but I remember that sound. Fond memory.
Before Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue, there was this wonderful program. Mr. Crawford's good-byes at the end give me goosebumps after all these years. Don't figure out my age, but have a Happy Easter.
Great stuff! I used to watch it as a kid in late 50s when it was shown here in the UK, It was very popular, I remember getting a toy badge and pistol 10-4
Wow, I never knew that Highway Patrol made it over to the UK as it was only syndicated here in the states and the UK had so few stations back in the 50's. I guess that it was popular everywhere.
Me too. Watched in Wigan as a kid in late 50’s with Sea Hunt and 77 Sunset Strip. Parents loved the sunshine so much in the U. S. (Noted in the shows) we moved here in 1960 and I’m still here at 69.
@@8176morgan It was a smash hit in Argentina in the mid-sixties too. Dunno if these were re-runs, or being shown in Latin America for the first time. Puerto Rican dubbing, one-fits-all Spanish, with quaint words and pronunciations, yet thoroughly enjoyable! I prefer the original English versions though, but I'd never be able to understand a word as a kid back in 1966....

This is as vintage as old TV gets! Metro Goldwyn Mayer,which owns the whole ZIV and United Artists Television library,sure has great material,even with "HIGHWAY PATROL" which was a big hit with 1950s Television,and very pure vintage,in every respect! i think MGM recently released this series on DVD not long ago,,but it is sure worth it!
Where are all these GREAT shows and actors now. All that is on TV anymore is crap and the titles are so stupid. These were the great days of TV. I would love to have one of the old Highway Patrol cars.
@@johnbockelie3899 That's what strong women REALLY look & behave like, and not the moronic "empowered" banshees we have today. Another of the many admirable female characters of this series, though not so glamourous or pretty: farmer Lucy Clifford in episode 01-28. Mental Patient. She is calm and pious, and keeps her poise in the face of the deranged guy who broke into her farm as she hummed "Onward Christian Soldiers" while washing the clothes. Acknowledging he was a poor sick guy, she protected him in front of Matthews. Now THOSE are the women we need!!!!
I remember years ago Burt Reynolds was on Johnny Carson & Reynolds was telling Johnny a story & began trying to get his facts straight & began talking SO SLOWLY..ALMOST ONE WORD AT A TIME...Burt stopped & began laughing & said " Gee I'm talking so slow now I make Lyndon B. Johnson sound like Broderick Crawford".
After watching the first episode, I got up to manually change the channel...then came to myself. Amazing how time changes things. The TV's of today are only touched twice...once when they're delivered, and once when their hauled away. har
I know what you mean. For me, I'll take the 1955 Mercury "Custom" (police-only special, not available to the public). It had a 272 CID Ford Y-Block V-8 and probably Merc-O-Matic transmission. It was a great looking vehicle. One thing about the production company they were ecumenical in their choice of cars for the series. Police cars used by Dan Mathews were Buick, Oldsmobile, Mercury, Ford, Plymouth and Dodge although Broderick Crawford is forever linked to that '55 Buick.Century.
Notice the cost of a phone call> 5~cents. Try to find a pay phone here in the USA today,and you might as well look for a 4~leaf clover in the grass. You'll find the clover easier. I remember those days. I just recently got a cell phone because of the lack of pay phones. Back then we had to pay for local long distance,long distance calls too. People rarely called long distance because of the cost. Look at us today. Back when this show was on the air, more homes had tv sets than homes with telephones and yes,some still had outhouses then too. For those who have no idea what that is, think port~a~let in a back yard that you had to clean. When the hole under it filled up, they moved the outhouse to another spot and covered the hole from the old spot.
senorkaboom No, haha Back then more people had a tv set than had a phone. Then tv sets weren't in every home yet either. Even those old Black & White sets cost money.. They still had radio shows on the radio for those who didn't have a tv,and those who still listened. I remember listening to Radio Mystery Theater. It was always really scary when I listened during a thunderstorm. The mystery shows were always on a night. Our attic was finished and was another room. I would sit in the attic, in the dark, smoke cigarettes, and even a joint or two and listened to the radio shows. This was in the 1960's & 1970's. People listened to short wave radio to get the news from their home country back in Europe. We didn't have all the phones,and electronics back then. The radios did not yet have transistors,and used vacuum tubes. The transistors became more popular in the 1960's. I have an antique record player/AM radio that uses vacuum tubes. haha My daughter asked me why I had a light bulb in there. haha It won't work without it. You can still get vacuum tubes online and some radio repair supply stores here. They are coming from Russia and China. Oh,by the way, have you ever used or seen a real outhouse? Not a porta~let, but an outhouse? I have. We had one and I had to clean it every Saturday. My Mom finally tied a rope around the outhouse,and the other end around the bumper of her 1966 Chevy Nove II Station wagon and drove on. haha Her husband came in from work and went nuts.He was 31 years older and almost 60 when they married,she was 26. He was just an old man who my Mom married to me. No love, security. Boy was she wrong, he was broke. haha She passed in 2011 when she was 69. I will always believe he sucked her youth and life out of her like a vampire sucking the life from its victim.
@@hoss73ford Are you sure it was white? Why not any light colour? A very light grey is my candidate.... Good luck with your restoration work. I wish I had one of those trucks meself, no matter the colour!
This is one of my favorite episodes. One thing I’ve always noticed in the opening, and this goes back to when I was Watching them on TV as reruns in the 1970s, Is that when the car is approaching the roadblock the car Is not being driven not within the lane. Of course, back then I didn’t know about Broderick Crawford and his fondness for the bottle. Do I assume he was doing his own driving there? As with so many of these highway patrol episodes, I assume it is filmed on the Canyon roads surrounding the San Fernando Valley and eastern Ventura county going into Simi Valley. I know that area very well, and it is very urbanized now, but some of the One lane each way canyon roads Still exist. Unless they film this one over by Griffith Park in Los Angeles. Also, the man who is the proprietor of the store In this episode (“Mr. Larkin”). Is he the one who went on to do the Pepperidge farm commercials in the 1970s and 1980s “Pepperidge Farm remembers.” That sure sounds like him.
Watching the episodes on the blog is hard to do. I agree with VikeFan Tony who posted here regarding the person who reported Foxeema for uploading this show. I only watch the ones on RUclips, and, therefore, I, and others, are missing a whole lot of good tv.
Thank you so very much Foxeema2 for the fantastic memories. It's the kind of relaxing sensation that Gilligans Island brings to me, & great memories...a much simpler life and time in my life...the kind of relaxing that makes one want to poop. Broderick Crawford plays the most awesome prick-cop. Very true-to-life. LoL Many thanks again & keep 'em comin' if you can. ☮ Peace/Love ♥ , 7
I wished the TV networks and cable would please please please please dump those boring reality TV shows off the air and bring great shows like Highway Patrol,Perry Mason,Dragnet and westerns back on the air.Another things many of the great classic TV shows had that many of today's shows do not have,great theme music.I am glad we now have Antenna TV,ME-TV,RTV,THIS TV and many other channels carrying these great classic TV shows and movies.
Every episode it's a different 2 door patrol car. Fast talking Dan is too tough for today's criminal. He always ends his command with..."move, or let's go".I do believe he has a spastic colon.
Where do you see an Impala? There aren't many automobiles in this episode and I see no Chevrolet Impala: www.hotrod.com/articles/1958-chevy-impala-valvoline/ Had their been, it would have to be an early production of the first model year (1958) as this HP first aired November 18, 1957 per IMDB. The title sequence shows a Nash approaching a roadblock composed of Harley Davidsons and 1955 Buicks, two each. Then we see the soon - to - be shooter of tonight's episode walk past his 1957 Plymouth. At 00:30 Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) enters frame in the 'Highway Patrol' 1956 Buick that he uses throughout the episode, parks in front of a 1956 Ford F100 'pickup', then confers with another officer at 00:34 alongside his Buick with a Highway Patrol 1957 Mercury parked behind it. The title sequence ends with a 1954 Oldsmobile in 'Highway Patrol ' livery (no actual state is mentioned) entering a highway at 00:40 before the screen is filled with a dedication to "...the Highway Patrols throughout the nation...". The car shot by the villain at 01:32 is a 1957 Ford, at 02:53 the 'Highway Patrol' '57 Buick and Merc again appear onscreen. The shooter's '57 Plymouth is shown to Mathews at 08:47 and there's a good view of it's snoot at 22:39. At 12:15 the 'Highway Patrol' '57 Merc pulls up behind the '56 Ford F100 to find the evil Plymouth driver's shooting victim. No Impala, though.
I had to go back and listen to the fast talking parts again to understand what a couple of the actors said. It's interesting that Crawford could talk so fast when he was inebriated. Usually, people slur, or talk more slowly, and don't get their words right when they're drunk. Crawford was quite a guy.
over 60 years ago! see how southern CALIFORNIA was just about to grow into huge urban sprawl, how different times were then but same old bad drivers still exist more things change...
The networks and cable need to dump the reality TV shows off the air and bring back TV shows the way they should be.Have you noticed Hollywood is not making many westerns nor there aren't any comedy variety TV shows on the air like those Red Skelton,Jackie Gleason,Milton Berle,Carol Burnett and Bob Hope once made?
@@rollinsdet8229 On closer inspection I believe that you are right and I am wrong as the '57 Ford does not have a prominent V placed on the front of the side panel of the car, but the '57 Plymouth does. So good eye on that one.
I believe those were surplus CHP cars that the CHP actually used. I have a book on the history of law enforcement cars and cars like this on the show were standard use. The emblem originally used was because the CHP was part of the DMV before being made a separate agency in the 1950's
At about 4:55 to 5:05, When Matthews is talking to Herb Dunlap, Dunlap says something about boys “shooting [Unintelligible word] off telephone poles.” What is he saying?
Crawford was TANKED the whole time he was doing this show. It's more obvious in some bits than others. They had to get his scenes in the can by lunchtime, because by 1pm he'd often be too drunk to stand. The show was almost cancelled once or twice because Crawford would get pulled over for DUI roughly a once a month....not really a good example to set when you're in a TV show about the frikkin' HIGHWAY PATROL.
Sad huh! There's proof a person really CAN be addicted to booze and not able to control it. Too bad he didn't have a director and good friend who insisted he get rehab
5:19 "I don't like to see anybody flaunt the law," says this suspicious character. Flaunt is to show off, so we assume he meant flout, which is to ignore something, or was he giving Dan a subtle clue about what he really thought of the law ? Sadly, it is most likely that the scriptwriter was just plain ignorant.
@@Boogaboioringale True. Also because the bullet is so damaged it can't be of help to forensics. And the shell casing has no primer, so there's no way to match it with the gun.
Be wary of downloading any "player" that is needed to view vids @ foxeema's blog. Not saying it's dangerous, but investigate first and decide if you want to take the risk.
It really helps that they had a 23 to 26 inch waist. Women today seldom have that waist unless they were health conscience as a girl and workout. Too much junk in our food nowdays. Most of them now are straight down from the armpits to the hips.
Actually, they were called bullet bras not torpedo. Torture bras would probably have been a better name, lol! Only men would have enjoyed them! I mean bo offense by my reply, just correcting a term. 😊

If you're driving and someone hits your car with a bullet, the LAST thing you want to do is jump right out and inspect the damage.
You're so right Barney Fife, and you're one to know!

Sad huh! There's proof a person really CAN be addicted to booze and not able to control it. Too bad he didn't have a director and good friend who insisted he get rehab
Old 502
@@unclemikeb Even when you are a good friend and you insist, it won't do any good if the person doesn't want to get help and stick with it.
Still he was a great actor
Foxeema means?
@2:54. -that Mercury needs new shocks!
Too funny !
5:19 "I don't like to see anybody flaunt the law," says this suspicious character. Flaunt is to show off, so we assume he meant flout, which is to ignore something, or was he giving Dan a subtle clue about what he really thought of the law ? Sadly, it is most likely that the scriptwriter was just plain ignorant.
Well, that'd be a case of serendipity, for "flaunt" fits the script perfectly....
My uncle gave me the same 22 with no serial numbers
Which state
"He's really got us outclassed with weapons.........................with a .22
Hit men with the mafia always use a.22 because the bullet ricochets throughout the body and wreaks havoc.
@@Boogaboioringale True. Also because the bullet is so damaged it can't be of help to forensics. And the shell casing has no primer, so there's no way to match it with the gun.
Be wary of downloading any "player" that is needed to view vids @ foxeema's blog. Not saying it's dangerous, but investigate first and decide if you want to take the risk.
Hey, that Trooper didn't write anything down.
Bacons on sale at Walmart
Why does Matthews talk a million miles a hour?
He was so drunk he had to. Needed to finish filming by noon. Dan was too cooked to go on
Too bad Brod wouldn't administer a field sobriety test to himself during the filming of this show.
+MrShobar I understand that he drove home the show's patrol car to prevent being stopped.
Thanks for the chuckle.
And these women are always conveniently wearing dresses with torpedo bra's .......
ahhhh, the good days.
It really helps that they had a 23 to 26 inch waist.
Women today seldom have that waist unless they were health conscience as a girl and workout. Too much junk in our food nowdays.
Most of them now are straight down from the armpits to the hips.
Actually, they were called bullet bras not torpedo. Torture bras would probably have been a better name, lol! Only men would have enjoyed them! I mean bo offense by my reply, just correcting a term. 😊
.22 long range passes thru windshield then penetrates skull?
He's dead, Jim.
He moved real well for an alcoholic.
When he turns my way nail him lol
🔵I FEEL SAD😢 THAT THE SHOOTER SHOT A NICE 1954 FORD F-100 TRUCK.🔴
Probably wouldn't back Broderick in a foot race
Jay Santos brought me here!
Lee Harvey Oswald's favorite episode. lol
That guy actually reminds me of LHO, he was a sniper.
As he was dying, he stepped on the brake and turned off the ignition.
An old straight drive truck would have stalled and stopped
Always weird seeing cop shows from before Miranda Rights. I always expect the cop to start reciting them when he arrests someone.
Some people have nothing better to do than put a bullseye on their head.
What got a plaster kit in his backseat of the police car . And 5.40 for new work boots man .
ditto 10-4
If I'm ever wrongfully accused of crime I hope somebody like Matthews is there to solve it.
So the fat man goes on the foot chase! :)
A 6 cylinder Buick made a fine police car.
@Luffaman Even with 3 ventiports? 00:33
when she stopped I thought she was going to get her B.A.R. out of the trunk and return fire on this community organizer.

Jesus loves you!
Yes, Amen! Praise JESUS Forevemore.
I want Catwoman to solve mine...ha!!!
oohhh yessss lol
Like a .22 bullet would hurt a car engine.
The definition of vandalism given here is incorrect.
Not for a 1957 audience, wise guy....
