There wasn't much for a tv career at that time, but this is one of the many shows that we can find our 'favorites' having one of their first successes. Back in those day, if you could get there, you probably would eventually get a film career... but even those 'stars' were under contract with some rotten bosses - a miserable life of slavery to the bosses... So, you see all you black folks, you were not the only people who had to live under slave conditions and control. And now again today, black folks are living under slavery - this time it is the welfare check mentality, which is still slavery - but now it is your choice. We really have to get rid of the slavery party - the democrats - before we can get back to Trump who did more for the blacks than any other president.
10:40 love these old episodes where the San Fernando valley was covered with orange groves. Was a beautiful place back then. Now that it's covered with houses... not so much.
@@mr.majestic8713 Southern California was just yet another part of the world to be ruined by the Yanks, who had already ruined an entire continent that they named the USA. Shouldn't be any surprise....
Robert Fuller of "Emergency" and "Wagon Train" played the arsonist. I miss '50s Westerns and cop shows like this and Dragnet. It's past time to go back to the way things used to be - God, country and family.
I started watching these episodes at approximately 10 p.m. on Feb. 4, 2023 and it is now 10:46 a.m. Feb. 5. I been hooked the whole except restroom breaks and food run to the fridge and pantry. Hard to believe, but it’s true!
Happened to me lately with "The Bill". It's somehow limited, because the latter series is trash. But the first seasons are packed, much to discover like in the series here.
I liked the rural sound of the birds and the clean air that I once had back in the 60’s, so nice to have watched this gem, Dan’s great team work went a long way catching that nut.
The guy was not too experienced. He should have apprenticed with a professional arsonist, then he would have known that lighting the straw would work just fine!
OK I've just watched 8 hours of these episodes, back to back lot's of coffee lot's of cigarettes. bloody fantastic great car and gal's and the fabulous 50s. thanks for uploading.
Wow, I loved this show when I was a little kid and even more now as an old fart (66). I sure didn't notice the foxy babes back then, whoever did the casting for the ladies sure knew how to pick them. Also many quality stars appeared in these episodes. Its fun to look them up and see what else they acted in. The cars, where do I start? What a show, reminds me of a museum.. The occasional disparaging comments about Broderick Crawford don't change my opinion at all. He reminds me of a Bulldog and did a great job as a tough fair minded cop. Not sure if they knew much about gasoline and the explosive ignition it has. I was clearing some brush and weeds for a friend and had the brilliant idea that about a cup of the gas I was using for the chain saw would make my day easier. I never did that again and was relieved when my eyebrows returned after being just about singed off. Thanks for posting the episodes and the incredible trips down memory lane to a simpler time they provide.
Always wondered about Dan's personal life. Darn it, the guy asks him if he has any grandkids and Dan says "Well you see........" No answer as to his family or life off duty. Oh well. I loved this show in the 50's and never stopped loving it. Thanks for posting all the episodes, many hours of wonderful viewing.
I discovered this show on MeTV when it played in the middle of the night, while I worked the overnights at Walmart. We had a hour lunch and so we could watch this, providing the digital TV didn't freeze up which it tended to do 90% of the time.
Thanks for placing these episodes on RUclips. I remember being 5 or 6 years old watching this TV show in the late 1950s and this is the partner of Broderick Crawford I remember. I had a toy police car with 2 toy policemen that I imagined weRe this pair barking out orders just like Broderick Crawford.
Great episode. Funny how they were fighting the fire and it still had a pretty good blaze, and then all of a sudden it was out. No doubt they were running short on time.
Geez, back when tractors weren't air-conditioned, lumbar-supported, wifi land-yachts as big as a house-- however did those farmers get their work done? Answer? They WORKED!
Fabulous show. I love seeing the world round about the time I was born. Fab cars, great manners, and wonderful (if overly convenient) plots. I only wish the images were clear enough to make out the car badges.
Dan Matthews and Ken the patrol officer should have worked for the fire department. Put out a ragging gasoline-soaked hay fire with a horse blanket and portable water extinguisher? lol
Mark Muffs No. Watsonville grows 80 % of the strawberries in the US. But San Jose is an urban sprawl now covered by a layer of smog on hot days where you can taste the pollution in the air.
It took hearing the voice to make it click that the arsonist was Robert Fuller. I saw him in The Hard Ride when I was a kid. Jack Webb saw him too and signed him up for Emergency
That lumberyard was in North Hollywood at Lankershim at Chandler(which used to be have a railroad down the middle. Blocks and blocks of original buildings were completely torn down during the late 90s for new subway and development of the now, newer NOHO. Developers saved the original North Hollywood train depot, and Phil's diner. (shocking I know)..
The lumberyard was Terry Lumber in Northridge at Reseda Blvd. and Parthenia St. From 12:08-12:15 in the background is pictured Mission Peak. I hiked up there several times while living in Northridge. I'm looking at a picture that I took of that same peak in 1975, and it matches up perfectly.
@@carlc5748 Great observation. I stand corrected. Its obvious now after seeing the R next to the North sign. 😂 it’s amazing how similar that location looks to the North Hollywood one. I could have sworn I spied the Weddington train depot across from it. I have loved these shows since I was a kid. It so great to see them again and identify the Los Angeles I remember that no longer exists today.
@@larkatmic Yes, I loved them as a kid, and now I recognize a lot of the filming locations. I take it that you grew up in the North Hollywood area? I first lived in Sepulveda, then moved to Northridge (Porter Ranch) in 1965, living in Arizona now. Are you still in the San Fernando Valley area still?
@@carlc5748 I remember Sepulveda. My god parents lived there back in the 60s. If I could do heat or snow I would move in an minute. There are just way too many people here now and most have only one mindset, if you know what I mean. I grew up in Studio City/north Hollywood / pacific palisades and Fairfax district. I live in Burbank now going on 22 years. It’s changed a lot. But, you know the saying. You can never go back home 😔 That’s why I enjoy watching old shows and movies from my past seeing things I remember that are now gone. Sounds like you do to. We lived in good times. 👍
@@larkatmic My younger brother has lived in Palmdale for many years, and we have that conversation frequently how privileged we were to have grown up where we lived, at that time, and as you said "you can never go back home", but the joy of seeing how things were, via past TV programs! I lived in WLA, palms, Culver City, Hollywood, and City of San Fernando (during the '94 Northridge quake). When I lived in Sepulveda, the state of California took half of our backyard, of our 1 acre lot to construct the southbound lanes of the San Diego Freeway. I still have a pic that my grandmother took of me, in our backyard, at age 6 with the freeway behind me, and the Roscoe Blvd. exit is visible on the freeway sign, in 1963, behind me!
@@kennethlucas7473 People had to restart somewhere, didn't they. My how I hate society. They throw everything _including_ the kitchen sink in these folk's path and then complain that they didn't "learn" from being in prison. Once imprisoned, always in prison.... even when they've left the prison. One may leave prison but society will surely make sure that prison never leaves them!
I noticed that the 59 Biscayne that the Arsonist was driving at the beginning of the show had Flags over the V on the hood. That would make it a 348, a very rare car. It was probably part of the Highway Patrol stable.
I had a 58' Buick in 1969.That car didn't need safety equipment.I knocked a thick metal pole out of ground in a parking lot with it,but only put a huge hole in my bumper.
AT 12:08-14 you see Mission peak in the background, elevation 2771 ft. I used to hike up there a lot, as a kid. We would call it the "three trees", as there will 3 trees visible from further away. Mission Peak is in the north San Fernando Valley, north of Granada Hills, and Porter Ranch in Northridge. It still looks the same today. Mission Peak is seen again at 20:50-20:57.
@ 13:43 look at the old Ford P/U , I owned many pick ups over the years and they were all single seaters, and that's what i wanted. Now a days most pick ups are 4 door and two seater with a small cargo area in back. This is stupid because pick up trucks were work trucks with a large cargo area, now they even have to make trucks "fancy" so damn stupid !
@@richardcurrin8940 when I was in the military, the Navy had some push button Plymouth cars. I remember driving one to transport the base chaplain from our base to another base one Sunday morning
It's ironic (or coincidental) that Robert Fuller just 13 years later would be playing someone with the fire department. Here he's an arsonist. Sure like the white '56 Ford truck. Mine will look just like that in maybe a couple of years.
It's interesting how Dan is always a passenger in later shows as a result of racking up numerous DWI arrests after work. As a kid in the 50's I thought this show was great. After a 40+ year career in law enforcement I wish I had realized how easy it is to solve crimes with road blocks! 2150 you are 10-7.
I thought it was "Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own." Firstly: I don't think it makes a difference if the dog is stray or not. Secondly: There's a helluva difference between "hiring any passerby" than meddling in a quarrel going on between others. The funny thing about this, is that the book you are quoting from seemed to cite people who were hiring passerby people. Usually these "passerby" peeps would hangout in the marketplace and those - well at least vineyard owners - would come by and "hire" these people and have them work in there vineyards. It wouldn't have taken much for someone to set a vineyard alight. Finally the USA - a country that seems to call itself "Christian" would really benefit from that proverb and one day, they are gonna get bit by one of those dogs they keep seizing by the ears.
I was born in the mid-1950's. Remember lots of old cars and trucks from those days and lots of details, but for the life of me, I do not recall rearview mirrors sticking up from the dashboard. They always hung down from above.
Funny how Dan Matthew's is always actively involved in solving the cases. Cheif of police today won't leave their desk unless their is a press conference or golfing convention. I know there maybe some that actually do but not most.
That gas ⛽️ station attendant is a pretty cute guy, but it sure dates this film. I wonder how long it’s been since we’ve ever had anyone fill out gas ⛽️ tank and clean out windshield or air our tires up for us???!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅And I love 💕 Dan’s splay footed walk. That man 👨 means business. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Inflamable can be traced to the middle ages and still in use. Flammable was first used in the 1850s but was strickly minor compared to inflameable. During WWII it was found some people saw inflamable and since "in" in front of other English word mean non (such as in indisputable or industrutable) they saw inflamable and assume it meant non-flamable. Safty enginners have been advocated dropping the word inflamable in favor of flammable since WWII, but both words are still in use today. I have seem a lot of tanks marked inflamable to this very day.
@@paulmentzer7658 I wish they would drop the "re" in research or the "in" in infamous since research does not mean searching again and infamous does not mean being an "average Joe". There are a few other wack-job words out there.
Robert Fuller (the arsonist) had quite a TV stardom career in the late 50's through the late 1960's. He even stared in the feature film "Return of the seven" with Yul Brynner!
Ive said this before : Dan is a real nice, polite guy and he loves kids, but dont fuck with him. That guy just did and he discovered the other side of Dan. Poooowwww !!!! Ouuufff !!!
I love the cars from the '50's and '60's, but the suspensions were softly sprung. Notice the rebound of the shocks when the cars stop or go over a bump.
It hard to understand why there are some who just want to burn up something, without any motive like insurance, or revenge, but just driven to burn something. I figure they're just mad at the world. No telling what trauma they went through to get their mind stuck on that dial, because they sure wasn't born wirh it. Didn't like them having my boyfriend, Jess from Laramie play this role, but he played it well. Just a childhood crush.
Dan Mathews personal life continues to be a complete mystery. Was about to talk about whether he had grandkids before being interrupted by Williams. What is Mathews hiding about himself?
The beautiful styling lines of the '59 chevy. Detroits' professional auto artistry at it's best.O how I miss those days.
The horizontal fins and the nostrils on the front hood mark this year. Don't know if you can tell the model from the sheet metal.
I recognized Robert Fuller. This show must have been a jumpstart for many careers.
Ah yeah Robert Fuller...I knew I recognised the face but couldn't think of his name 🙂

So when the arsonist got done sitting fires he became a doctor!
Fuller is still alive at 89. He now owns a horse ranch in South Texas. He really does love being a cowboy.
Another good episode.
They never say what state it's set in, but it's so obviously California...
Are you really that dumb?

I know Robert Fuller must have loved it when he landed that Doctor gig on Emergency. Great acting in Highway Patrol.
The arsonist went on to medical school after prison and became a famous trauma surgeon/ER doctor at Rampart General Hospital I think?
Any mysterious fires at Rampart?.
1959 Chevy Biscayne! Fast motor because it had the Cross Flags on the hood!
Looks like a push-button transmission on that Dodge patrol car !

Robert Fuller must of started in the Laramie TV series about the time of this episode, as Laramie debuted in 1959 (same year as this HP episode).
If the 'fire bug' looks familiar, it's because he was played by Robert Fuller.
'Laramie', Dr. Kelly Brackett in 'Emergency'! (and many others)
Oh, so he went from setting fires to working for the fire department. Maybe that's why the fire department was having so many calls... hee hee....
AT 12:08-14 you see Mission peak in the background, elevation 2771 ft. I used to hike up there a lot, as a kid. We would call it the "three trees", as there will 3 trees visible from further away.

The arsonist is Robert Fuller who was the lead doctor on the 70’s TV show call Emergency. It’s kind of ironic seeing him here as an arsonist.
He failed the audition as an arsonist so they made him a fireman....
Is that the doctor from the (future) show, Emergency ! Rampart !!! Sick bastard.
We had a push button Chrysler product car. Can't remember what kind though but it fascinated me as a child.
George Senda my neighbor had one too. I thought it was cool
Richard Currin i
There was even a doowop song in the late '50s called Push Button Automobile by The Marathons. It's on RUclips so you can check it out. Great stuff.
Some Edsel cars had push buttons for the transmission too.
@@richardcurrin8940 when I was in the military, the Navy had some push button Plymouth cars. I remember driving one to transport the base chaplain from our base to another base one Sunday morning
Fun fact:…both William Boyett and Robert Fuller would later star in Jack Webb tv dramas….Adam 12 and Emergency!
How ironic he plays an arsonist and then goes on to star in "Emergency" a show about fire
Robert Fuller went from arsonist, to trail boss, to ER doctor. So, going in the right direction......
$3 for half tank of gas
Thanks for having ALL thes e shows. A ppreciated
It's ironic (or coincidental) that Robert Fuller just 13 years later would be playing someone with the fire department. Here he's an arsonist. Sure like the white '56 Ford truck. Mine will look just like that in maybe a couple of years.
Hi Mark. Have you finished your Ford truck?

Putting out that fire with one fire extinguisher and an old hessian sack! Amazing. They should join the Fire Brigade!
Yes a gas fire and the HP fighting it. Sure that's believable!
Looked like an Alabama Tow sack to me....which is a burlap tote sack pronounced Southern style.
Ever notice how "crunchy" the ground sounds when they walk or drive on it?! 😆
It was all post production sound effects.
Who needs gas to start a fire in straw? No boyscout.
Forget Carter and Patterson..this fire has "Shakes McDowell" written al over it....
It's interesting how Dan is always a passenger in later shows as a result of racking up numerous DWI arrests after work. As a kid in the 50's I thought this show was great. After a 40+ year career in law enforcement I wish I had realized how easy it is to solve crimes with road blocks! 2150 you are 10-7.
Hey it's the dr from emergency, give him a iv with ringers lactate . Lol
1960 Chevy. I remember my dad bought one new. I was maybe 11 at the time. It was the first Chevy he ever owned and he really loved that car.

"Like taking a stray dog by the ears is hiring any passerby" (Proverbs)
I thought it was "Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own."
Firstly: I don't think it makes a difference if the dog is stray or not.
Secondly: There's a helluva difference between "hiring any passerby" than meddling in a quarrel going on between others. The funny thing about this, is that the book you are quoting from seemed to cite people who were hiring passerby people. Usually these "passerby" peeps would hangout in the marketplace and those - well at least vineyard owners - would come by and "hire" these people and have them work in there vineyards. It wouldn't have taken much for someone to set a vineyard alight.
Finally the USA - a country that seems to call itself "Christian" would really benefit from that proverb and one day, they are gonna get bit by one of those dogs they keep seizing by the ears.
I was born in the mid-1950's. Remember lots of old cars and trucks from those days and lots of details, but for the life of me, I do not recall rearview mirrors sticking up from the dashboard. They always hung down from above.
Funny how Dan Matthew's is always actively involved in solving the cases. Cheif of police today won't leave their desk unless their is a press conference or golfing convention. I know there maybe some that actually do but not most.
I seriously doubt they could have put out that fire with 10 gallons of gasoline on that hay!
All good actors not like today this super show Dan number one
I didn't think Dr. Early from Emergency was an Arsonist?
No, that's Doc Sideburns. Early was the old guy.
even arsonists can become Doctors😂!
I was disappointed we didn't get to see Shakes McDowell. Now _that's_ the name an arsonist would have! Still, a terrific episode of HP.
Boy this boy got it bad. Dan the fireman good thing Dan has skills no telling how long the fire department was going to take 🤔
That gas ⛽️ station attendant is a pretty cute guy, but it sure dates this film. I wonder how long it’s been since we’ve ever had anyone fill out gas ⛽️ tank and clean out windshield or air our tires up for us???!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅And I love 💕 Dan’s splay footed walk. That man 👨 means business. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Go to Oregon and you can have it done today!! You cannot fill up your own tank in Oregon.
The word we use today, "flammable" was used then as "inflammable." Interesting how language changes.
Inflamable can be traced to the middle ages and still in use. Flammable was first used in the 1850s but was strickly minor compared to inflameable.
During WWII it was found some people saw inflamable and since "in" in front of other English word mean non (such as in indisputable or industrutable) they saw inflamable and assume it meant non-flamable.
Safty enginners have been advocated dropping the word inflamable in favor of flammable since WWII, but both words are still in use today. I have seem a lot of tanks marked inflamable to this very day.
Inflammable and flammable have exactly the same meaning.
@@paulmentzer7658 I wish they would drop the "re" in research or the "in" in infamous since research does not mean searching again and infamous does not mean being an "average Joe". There are a few other wack-job words out there.
His real name is Buddy Lee.
Highway patrol now airs on me t.v
Robert Fuller (the arsonist) had quite a TV stardom career in the late 50's through the late 1960's. He even stared in the feature film "Return of the seven" with Yul Brynner!
Oh wow ..isn't He man fr Laramie" or something......
This episode remindes me of a classic b-flick,, The Flaming Urge (1953) Harold Lloyd Jr., firebug characters are few and far between.
Ive said this before : Dan is a real nice, polite guy and he loves kids, but dont fuck with him. That guy just did and he discovered the other side of Dan. Poooowwww !!!! Ouuufff !!!
1959 BISCAYNE, OH THE YOYS OF POWERGLIDE, (2 SPEED AUTO
I love the cars from the '50's and '60's, but the suspensions were softly sprung. Notice the rebound of the shocks when the cars stop or go over a bump.
Very interesting show !
5:10 was at Reseda Bl and Parthenia st in Northridge CA.
It hard to understand why there are some who just want to burn up something, without any motive like insurance, or revenge, but just driven to burn something. I figure they're just mad at the world. No telling what trauma they went through to get their mind stuck on that dial, because they sure wasn't born wirh it.
Didn't like them having my boyfriend, Jess from Laramie play this role, but he played it well. Just a childhood crush.
The line they had to cut out was when D. Matthews then extended his finger to the "supervisor" and said, "Now sniff my finger."
And then he added, "That's my ass wiping finger."
Great episode 👏
Dan Mathews personal life continues to be a complete mystery. Was about to talk about whether he had grandkids before being interrupted by Williams. What is Mathews hiding about himself?
Looks like a kid in candy store when uncovers the Jerry cans in the barn
I thought the were gas cans....
Another steak out !!! I want mine extra well done please with extra mushrooms
