You could tell they were in the safe suburbs- at the end of this episode you can see a bicycle parked on the sidewalk. These days it would be snatched & stolen in less than five minutes.
Now, people are stealing your mail, plus we now have a new type of theft, the police call them porch pirates who steal your Amazon packages from your porch.
Fine for alpha and beta particles, not so much for neutron and gamma emitters. Distance matters too radiation decreases by about the power of three with distance.
The Professor is Phil Tead, who appeared in the same role in Superman! And Broderick Crawford was good casting--tough in real life. His wife told how a guy came up to him and screamed, "I know karate," and started jumping around. Crawford said, "Barstool!" and brained him with one. But as a ham radio operator I really enjoyed seeing the radios. (And I'm a member of the ARRL, which is still very active, though the callsign given was all wrong.) Sadly the situation shown isn't entirely wrong either, as a couple of times old X-ray machines have ended up in scrap drives, contaminating a lot of steel (and people). I wonder what would happen today to the house's market value....
Did you see how that little old guy made out like the pellets were totally harmless? I always like to see him act with his sad wrinkled face....Cyril Delevanti. I think that Cyril was born looking old. Like Burt Mustin. He always reminded me of a bald baby bird in the nest. Feisty old folks..way to go!
That was life in the 50s, look at Dan, people act all surprised at how quickly he moves, he's only in his mid to late 40s, but would easily pass as early 60s today.
At 17:49 through 18:00 a Precision Apparatus series E 200 signal generator is visible in the background. It uses a 6SJ7 as oscillator, a 6C5 to oscillate a 400 hz audio tone and 5Y3 rectifier or 80 depending on build date.
i thought this was "an unusual one" as Broderick sometimes says. Sure dig all the 1955 & earlier cars. Nice '55 Dodge truck at 6:20. You don't see them as often as many as Chevys & Fords. Broderick looks quite sober in this episode.
I love that 1954 or 1955 Jaguar XK 140 with its wire wheels and wide whitewall tires @ 25:15. Has Double Over Head Cam 3.4 Liter inline 6-cylinder engine (190 HP and 203 lb-ft torque). Worth a fortune nowadays. However I do prefer an early 1961-1964 Jaguar E-Type - XKE Coupe.
An excellent episode. The professor looks real familiar from maybe a previous episode? Love the ol' drinking from a garden hose. Did it all the time as a kid.

Yep 5 seconds of exposure is deadly but handling them for 2 seconds is harmless and done daily, also I counted she was there for over 4 seconds, almost deadly, lol.
I love the shows but this episode plot was confusing. After a radioactive oil indicator is stolen the start the urgency Mr Holt tells Dan that the if the tube with the pellets is opened it can be fatal to a person exposed to the pellets for only a few moments. Then we see that the wife has opened a tube and poured out the pellets before her husband can snatch her away from the table.

Funny how they misspelled Beryllium on the blackboard (berilium). Beryllium isn't radioactive anyway. It's dangerous if you inhale small particles or fumes (as from melting or welding), then you can get Berylliosis. I used to work with Beryllium Copper alloy (98% Copper, 2% Beryllium) valve seat inserts in high performance engines, and the warning is to wear breathing protection if you're going to be grinding it or otherwise producing small particles. But apart from the technical mistakes, the script was good in the way it built suspense through the episode.
Actor Pat Conway (tall guy who bought the device toward the end of the show) later had his own TV show where he played Sheriff Clay Hollister in "Tombstone Territory" 1957-1960.
I love Tombstone territory it's a great western. On Tombstone his body movements are somewhat quirky kinda a like Batman's Adam West. He's funny to watch kinda like watching Crawford run :)
I like the background footage, I forgot I was around back when the old coupes and now vintage vehicles were around and used by common folk, not rods and customs with $10,000 paint jobs. Love the practically non existent shocks on the Buicks, that's how there were lol ! I remember some of these episodes but not this one.
My uncle used to have that very model of Buick....every time I rode with him I puked.....never in another car....maybe it was his cigars and not the shocks.....
That Ford panel truck is actually the star of the show......appears in nearly all the episodes in one way or another......I'll be darned....Pat Conway......Tombstone Territory Sheriff......'55 Ford convertible.....what a jewel......Their kid was born with three heads.....
I see a 1955 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup truck @ 6:30 and a 1953-1955 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup @ 9:45 with its left side mounted spare. This Chevrolet is not a 1/2 ton as there would have been an indention in the left rear fender to accommodate that spare tire which was not needed on the 3/4 ton model. Finally I do not see any panel trucks in this episode.
I remember seeing that white haired scientist in a Sherlock Holmes movie called “The House of Fear” when he looked quite a bit younger, and also in a Twilight Zone episode about a man who could read minds when he looked quite a bit older. Note the nice looking Hudson parked in the driveway at 3:49. There are quite a few nice looking cars in this episode including some fairly looking old ones that aren't running anymore.
INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE 50s USUALLY GOT IN THEIR CAR FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND SLID OVER BEHIND THE WHEEL RATHER THEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. MAYBE IT WAS A TIME SAVER?(LS)
Radioactive oil indicator? Yet a ham radio operator figures he can use parts of it in a ham radio? Ha. Makin shit up now. Well if unscrewed there... they're screwed....wow the beryllium sphere was bigger in Galaxy Quest.
Mark, in those days, radios had vacuum tubes in them and the radio guy was hoping there might be something (tubes, etc) that he might be able to reuse. Not illogical at all.....
The Ham Radio Operator husband who had the Geiger Counter was Pat Conway of Tombstone Territory fame - the Sheriff of that early 60's half hour western.
@@briangard951 Yes, his real name was Pat Conway and he played Sheriff Clay Hollister. It was a good show, by the way and put on by the same people who did Highway Patrol...."Ziv" TV.
Habit especially for people driving in towns and cities. Not safe to climb out on the driver side when parallel parked. Another one of those behemoths driving by will put a hurtin' on you when you swing that huge door open and jump out. Very common habit until the popularity of bucket seats and a center console picked up in the 1970's.
Could have been a little more believable . I mean she gets exposed to radioactive pellets and nobody says anything about getting her checked out. The Cars are always 🔥 ‼️ + the female dispatchers 💕❤💥 They are all in there 20's AND, former run models !!
That guy talks to Australia? I didn’t see an antenna on his house that would allow him do that. And “Everyone is going to die if you open that device” turns into “Oh, there is no problem. I handle those pellets very day?” Oh, the ARRL broadcasts come out of New England.
Announcements from the ARRL are often broadcast regionally, depending on which band you are listening on. So far as the antenna, I just use a wire (dipole) in the trees. Have talked with operators in Russian, Australia, and the South Pole, among many others. Most people never notice the antenna. That was a really nice space for his shack! For a young married guy, he had a pretty big investment sitting there.
Interesting how Mathews didn't know where the guy threw the device, but pulled right into the correct spot while the "bad guy" (who knew where it was) was in the car BEHIND him......Oooops.
@@davidg.5076 No good. They would have been told by the scientist not to turn on their radios in case they triggered the nuclear device. That's what radioactive means.
The two were related, as Russia was, and still is, the sole nuclear power capable of nuking the USA into oblivion at a 20-minutes notice! Hence all the fuss whenever Russia challenges US diktats at odds with its own interests, and the demonizing of Putin by the US fake-news media.

At 14:05 you see the guy getting into the car from the passenger side. This happens a lot in this series. I get that most vehicles had bench seats at the time, which made it easier to slide over... but really...who gets in the car from the wrong side? I've talked to people who were of driving age back then and none of them ever did this or knew anyone who did.
Funny after watching a number of these episodes I was actually going to mention this very same situation a second ago until I came across your find. Alot of these series they get out of the passenger side.....so wierd but good find I say.
It was NOT at all rare baclk in those days. Not only was it easy, you could get in/out on the curb side without opening those giant doors into traffic.
@@PatrickBaptist No, Shobar is putting the cart before the horse on his comment. It was a time sequence thing. He found out it was radioactive AFTER he brought it home....not before.
Jack Stang who played the sneak thief, was a police officer in my hometown of Newburgh, N.Y. Jack became a good friend of writer Mickey Spillane when he lived in Newburgh in the 1950's. Jack was the inspiration for Spillane's character Det. Mike Hammer.
So funny... the show highway patrol always only had two police vehicles during shooting (mostly) so at 3:58 when the cop car is blocking the lane, its later moved and reused at 4:12 as a 3rd car when that first one isn't used in a shot. So at 4:27 you'll see that the first car is no longer blocking the lane because its actually the 3rd police car. Smart movie magic. As far as I know, the show has never had 3 cars in filming.
This episode was pretty very weird to me because ined my AP physics class beryllium-9 or beryllium oxide or beryllium ceramic pellets are NOT considered to be a hazardous materials waste unless it is ined powders form and do you breathed it ined. And thened it is a toxic carcinogen material and which cand cause chronic beryllium disease which cand kill you, but ined pellets form it should be not toxic. And even ifed do you breathed ined it they do thinked you do haved to be sensitized to it to geted a allergiced liked reaction which will hurted you. Beryllium copper alloy is extensively used for springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes, and non-sparking tools. It is applied as a structural material for high-speed aircrafts, and missiles, and spacecrafts, and communication satellites. I do know it that just to touched Beryllium ined solid or massive form is sposed to be harmless and you cand not geted CBD that way. But ifed do you geted powdered Beryllium or alloy ined yours skin it cand maked you sensitized to it and thened after that you cand geted Chronic Beryllium Disease which does caused granulomas ined your lungs and stuff. I keept to forgetting it this show is about liked 60 years backed and they did not know it stuff we do know it now.
@@JackGordone Oh thanked you so ofed much fore yours droll commenting. I do haved aphasias brains damaging a little and it does maked to geted words as right hard for me. ecxept but it does to comed from whened my #23 fosters father did tryd to beated me to deathed so cand I not tell it to any one he is being a vile pedophile. It does mess uped how cand I geted words but not ofed how intelligent amed I acshully. so ifed you will now tryd for castigated me just remembered it I do bited backed. And too ofed course Beryllium is being dangerous just as many ofed diffrenter stuff is dangerous ifed do you treat it wronged. Just as many radio nuclear actived particles cand be dangerous ifed do you miss handled them but are mostovly harmless ifed do you do simple ofed precautions. Even one kid as my age builded a working nuclears reactioned chamber ined his own tools shed whiched was OK until did he figured it how will he evacuated the wasteing materials whiched are VERY dangerous. Looked uped it, that did really happened.
Come on, it's a 1955 TV show! They tossed in beryllium (wrongly spellt as "berillium" on the blackboard at the PD), because it sounded impressive, "scientific" and odd enough to impress the simple audiences of the time! Do you think they consulted the American Commission of Atomic Energy in order to film this cheap show?
@@javiergilvidal1558 May be they did, how do you know it they did not contacted the Atomic Energies Commission? Just you do taked for granted of it that they were being totallysly dumb backed then and that just is purely of a supposition to ond yours part. But probly you are correct. I looked to at the credits and there was one of any thanked you to the AEC of then.
First the pellets are deadly, then they can be handled every day... I don't know what the baby she's waiting will look like... Lol. Well, it's a small episode, but quite typical of this periode fascinated and frightened in the same time by the atomic power, radiation, nuclear weapons... And wow ! Pat Conway was a very cute, and tall, guy. Thanks for sharing. 😘
These genius' who make this garbage never thought, well, maybe I ought to weld it together, or put a severe warning label etched into the steel on it. It's only highly deadly radioactive material. Let's be as cavalier as we can be.
@@roysterfutrell8889 That's all very well, but what about the unborn child ? If they had put warnings on the device, he might not have been born looking like Dan Matthews. Not so funny for him, is it ?
@@jacquesgervais1713 Yep. Notice the small, undivided rear window, characteristic of the 1948 and 1949 models. All the 1950 models had a 2-piece rear window except for the Pacemaker, but the trunk details are not correct for a '50 Pacemaker.
2:17 "Exposure to the pellets can be fatal." Matthews: "And could they kill you ?" 15:17 "Twenty One Fifty to headquarters." HQ: "Go ahead Two One Five Oh." DAN (in a correcting tone): "Twenty One Fifty." Even in a nuclear crisis, Dan is such a pedant.
There aren't even any minorities in the background, not even on the streets. The Ziv company wanted to sell this in the south in an era when some southern stations wouldn't carry Ed Sullivan if he had Nat King Cole on as a guest.
At the beginning the professor said that by just removing the tube would expose people to the radiation because the tube was lined with lead but the screwed end of the tube was only aluminum and that would cause a fatal dose with 5 seconds exposure even if the pellets were still inside the tube. But the guy and his wife took the tube out and the woman dumped out the pellets, and later the prof said they were harmless and went in to pick up the pellets and put them back into the tube...the whole story doesn't match up!
Hari Seldon Buddy if the world agreed with me I'd feel like a fool so thanks and enjoy yer week. And remember if you care to drive, drive with care. LOL.
Being different for the sake of being different is the definition of ego mania. For someone like me who lived through the Moon landings, stayed up all night watching and hanging on every word, the absurdity of the "Moon hoaxers" is laughable and sad all at the same time. It preforce must throw into question any conclusions or beliefs you may hold in regards to anything. It shows lack of anything like objective thought, or reasoning and a basic lack of even the SLIGHTEST degree of scientific knowledge. THIS iis what marks you as a fool, not how many agree or disagree with you.
I think you should get in contact with Malloy or Reed at 1 Adam 12 who may be able to help, or at least, get into contact Efrem Zimbalist Jr. at the FBI and have him investigate the matter. You may have something. You may also want to contact Perry Mason so he can prosecute the people responsible for allowing that device to get into the wrong hands. Maybe Sgt. Joe Friday or Gannon can set up a Dragnet and get the perpetrators in that sort of manner. This is an incident that never should have happened. Where I come from, in Hootersville, this type of thing wouldn't have happened. Hell, even up the road a spell, in Petticoat Junction, they would have known better. Well, I'd write more but, Ethel and Fred are here and I have to get my wife, Lucy, ready for our honeymoon trip across the country in our brand new camping trailer. After that, we are off to sunny California to try to find some treasure which is supposedly buried under a big "W". I'm telling you that this is a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

I like the background footage, I forgot I was around back when the old coupes and now vintage vehicles were around and used by common folk, not rods and customs with $10,000 paint jobs. Love the practically non existent shocks on the Buicks, that's how there were lol ! I remember some of these episodes but not this one.
My uncle used to have that very model of Buick....every time I rode with him I puked.....never in another car....maybe it was his cigars and not the shocks.....
They manage quite well cornering at high speed with those thin tyres.
anyone want to try 2 ID the shooting locations?
The old dude was the creepy guy on twighlight zone
Which episode??
@@Timewontletme Thanks....I'll check it out.
That Ford panel truck is actually the star of the show......appears in nearly all the episodes in one way or another......I'll be darned....Pat Conway......Tombstone Territory Sheriff......'55 Ford convertible.....what a jewel......Their kid was born with three heads.....
I see a 1955 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup truck @ 6:30 and a 1953-1955 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup @ 9:45 with its left side mounted spare. This Chevrolet is not a 1/2 ton as there would have been an indention in the left rear fender to accommodate that spare tire which was not needed on the 3/4 ton model. Finally I do not see any panel trucks in this episode.
I remember seeing that white haired scientist in a Sherlock Holmes movie called “The House of Fear” when he looked quite a bit younger, and also in a Twilight Zone episode about a man who could read minds when he looked quite a bit older. Note the nice looking Hudson parked in the driveway at 3:49. There are quite a few nice looking cars in this episode including some fairly looking old ones that aren't running anymore.
Yea the door saved them , she’s fried
INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE 50s USUALLY GOT IN THEIR CAR FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND SLID OVER BEHIND THE WHEEL RATHER THEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. MAYBE IT WAS A TIME SAVER?(LS)
Thanks for putting these on for us.
Radioactive oil indicator? Yet a ham radio operator figures he can use parts of it in a ham radio? Ha. Makin shit up now. Well if unscrewed there... they're screwed....wow the beryllium sphere was bigger in Galaxy Quest.
Mark, in those days, radios had vacuum tubes in them and the radio guy was hoping there might be something (tubes, etc) that he might be able to reuse. Not illogical at all.....
@@USCG.Brennan And visible on the outside were two meters (not cheap) and some control, probably a potentiometer.
Are you Charlie Manson. What a memory. They look like Jordan almonds. I'll taste one.
THAT HAM RADIO OPERATOR REMINDED ME OF A YOUNG JACK PALANCE. "TALK ABOUT CLOSE CALLS"...HAM RADIO OPERATOR.(LS)
The Ham Radio Operator husband who had the Geiger Counter was Pat Conway of Tombstone Territory fame - the Sheriff of that early 60's half hour western.
@@briangard951 Yes, his real name was Pat Conway and he played Sheriff Clay Hollister. It was a good show, by the way and put on by the same people who did Highway Patrol...."Ziv" TV.
I was so worried about that young couple. Those Alka Selzer tablets looked dangerous.
Why does everyone in this series seem to get in and out of their cars on the passenger side?? lol
Back then the DMV rules required even the driver to enter and exit from the passenger door.
Habit especially for people driving in towns and cities. Not safe to climb out on the driver side when parallel parked. Another one of those behemoths driving by will put a hurtin' on you when you swing that huge door open and jump out. Very common habit until the popularity of bucket seats and a center console picked up in the 1970's.
@@stevesimone2202 Nonsense.
@@stevesimone2202 yup, that was taught in driver's ed classes right up to the mid sixties.
Could have been a little more believable . I mean she gets exposed to radioactive pellets and nobody says anything about getting her checked out. The Cars are always 🔥 ‼️ + the female dispatchers 💕❤💥
They are all in there 20's
AND, former run models !!
Beryllium is not radioactive.
Even the criminals wear suits.
Everybody dressed like that in the 50s. I remember as a kid. Today most people look like bums.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix I agree!
@@USCG.Brennan Today when you go downtown you wear a keviar vest.
That guy talks to Australia? I didn’t see an antenna on his house that would allow him do that.
And “Everyone is going to die if you open that device” turns into “Oh, there is no problem. I handle those pellets very day?”
Oh, the ARRL broadcasts come out of New England.
Announcements from the ARRL are often broadcast regionally, depending on which band you are listening on. So far as the antenna, I just use a wire (dipole) in the trees. Have talked with operators in Russian, Australia, and the South Pole, among many others. Most people never notice the antenna.
That was a really nice space for his shack! For a young married guy, he had a pretty big investment sitting there.

So, they touch and handle the radioactive device AFTER Broderick arrives?

Incredible and double incredible!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇺
Love how those big old cars bounce up and down when they come to a stop. And that they squeak when they open and close the doors.
lousy shocks, and springs. plus a guy on each bumper to create the illusion of travel.
It isn't WHAT YOU DRIVE, BUT HOW YOU DRIVE THAT counts! 😜
Interesting how Mathews didn't know where the guy threw the device, but pulled right into the correct spot while the "bad guy" (who knew where it was) was in the car BEHIND him......Oooops.
Police radios ?
You're forgetting, Dan Matthews knows everything. That's why he's head of the Highway Patrol. Funny, we never hear his actual rank.
@@davidg.5076 No good. They would have been told by the scientist not to turn on their radios in case they triggered the nuclear device. That's what radioactive means.
@@Sootaroot Soot, it's a tv show, they can do anything lol ! We can't get too deep or we lose the flavor of it.

Why does everyone want to take it apart I guess they got tinker itis
Where in the world did that sneak thief pick up that radioactive device?
Oh, those heady 1950s.... when the only thing scarier than the Red Scare was Radioactive Scare.
The two were related, as Russia was, and still is, the sole nuclear power capable of nuking the USA into oblivion at a 20-minutes notice! Hence all the fuss whenever Russia challenges US diktats at odds with its own interests, and the demonizing of Putin by the US fake-news media.
Or the home grown version?

So the pellets were deadly but really they were harmless.
Guess the real panic was the actual price of the equipment
At 14:05 you see the guy getting into the car from the passenger side. This happens a lot in this series. I get that most vehicles had bench seats at the time, which made it easier to slide over... but really...who gets in the car from the wrong side? I've talked to people who were of driving age back then and none of them ever did this or knew anyone who did.
Sometimes you slide in if there's a lot of traffic on the driver's side. But it's rare.
Funny after watching a number of these episodes I was actually going to mention this very same situation a second ago until I came across your find. Alot of these series they get out of the passenger side.....so wierd but good find I say.
Depends on what the director wants to see. Could be going around to the drivers side would make the scene take a few seconds too long.
It was NOT at all rare baclk in those days. Not only was it easy, you could get in/out on the curb side without opening those giant doors into traffic.
Camera angle issue you twit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Part 2 her baby was born with two heads because she handled the pellets.
Three heads if she handled all of them - one for each pellet.

I was born with trillions of unseen arms in my left arm. I can fight off any

Dude brings home a radioactive device to his pregnant wife. Perfect.
MrShobar Of course he didn't know it contained radioactive pellets.
+HimJimRimDim And that is what makes it the safest, ignorance.
@@PatrickBaptist No, Shobar is putting the cart before the horse on his comment. It was a time sequence thing. He found out it was radioactive AFTER he brought it home....not before.
@@USCG.Brennan Except it didn't just become dangerous once he knew. LOL, come on now.
@@PatrickBaptist Sorry, but are you missing the actual point here?
The guy at the junk yard later played Louie Pheeters the town drunk on Gunsmoke!
Jack Stang who played the sneak thief, was a police officer in my hometown of Newburgh, N.Y. Jack became a good friend of writer Mickey Spillane when he lived in Newburgh in the 1950's. Jack was the inspiration for Spillane's character Det. Mike Hammer.
Patric Morrison “I the Jury” came out in 1947.
Whenever I watch this show I always think I’m watching ED WOOD
did I miss it? why did the first guy steal the item? and then get chased by the cops,only to dump it in a scrap yard?
You got it!
So funny... the show highway patrol always only had two police vehicles during shooting (mostly) so at 3:58 when the cop car is blocking the lane, its later moved and reused at 4:12 as a 3rd car when that first one isn't used in a shot. So at 4:27 you'll see that the first car is no longer blocking the lane because its actually the 3rd police car. Smart movie magic. As far as I know, the show has never had 3 cars in filming.
No *DANGER RADIOACTIVE* on the instrument? Uh-oh. She got a dose. Baby be damaged.
This episode was pretty very weird to me because ined my AP physics class beryllium-9 or beryllium oxide or beryllium ceramic pellets are NOT considered to be a hazardous materials waste unless it is ined powders form and do you breathed it ined. And thened it is a toxic carcinogen material and which cand cause chronic beryllium disease which cand kill you, but ined pellets form it should be not toxic. And even ifed do you breathed ined it they do thinked you do haved to be sensitized to it to geted a allergiced liked reaction which will hurted you. Beryllium copper alloy is extensively used for springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes, and non-sparking tools. It is applied as a structural material for high-speed aircrafts, and missiles, and spacecrafts, and communication satellites.
I do know it that just to touched Beryllium ined solid or massive form is sposed to be harmless and you cand not geted CBD that way. But ifed do you geted powdered Beryllium or alloy ined yours skin it cand maked you sensitized to it and thened after that you cand geted Chronic Beryllium Disease which does caused granulomas ined your lungs and stuff.
I keept to forgetting it this show is about liked 60 years backed and they did not know it stuff we do know it now.
I dunno, it looks to me like that beryllium got to the speech area of your brain. You sure it's not dangerous?
@@JackGordone
Oh thanked you so ofed much fore yours droll commenting. I do haved aphasias brains damaging a little and it does maked to geted words as right hard for me. ecxept but it does to comed from whened my #23 fosters father did tryd to beated me to deathed so cand I not tell it to any one he is being a vile pedophile.
It does mess uped how cand I geted words but not ofed how intelligent amed I acshully. so ifed you will now tryd for castigated me just remembered it I do bited backed.
And too ofed course Beryllium is being dangerous just as many ofed diffrenter stuff is dangerous ifed do you treat it wronged. Just as many radio nuclear actived particles cand be dangerous ifed do you miss handled them but are mostovly harmless ifed do you do simple ofed precautions. Even one kid as my age builded a working nuclears reactioned chamber ined his own tools shed whiched was OK until did he figured it how will he evacuated the wasteing materials whiched are VERY dangerous. Looked uped it, that did really happened.
Come on, it's a 1955 TV show! They tossed in beryllium (wrongly spellt as "berillium" on the blackboard at the PD), because it sounded impressive, "scientific" and odd enough to impress the simple audiences of the time! Do you think they consulted the American Commission of Atomic Energy in order to film this cheap show?
@@javiergilvidal1558
May be they did, how do you know it they did not contacted the Atomic Energies Commission? Just you do taked for granted of it that they were being totallysly dumb backed then and that just is purely of a supposition to ond yours part.
But probly you are correct. I looked to at the credits and there was one of any thanked you to the AEC of then.
@@jacobsparry8525 I understand your comments and think you write and express yourself in terrific form.
...and about 4 months later the first X-Man was born.
I wonder if the radioactivity gave Dan the Herpes on his lower lip or from the chick he was recently muff diving.
First the pellets are deadly, then they can be handled every day... I don't know what the baby she's waiting will look like... Lol.
Well, it's a small episode, but quite typical of this periode fascinated and frightened in the same time by the atomic power, radiation, nuclear weapons...
And wow ! Pat Conway was a very cute, and tall, guy.
Thanks for sharing. 😘
If the radiation didn’t harm her child the Thalidomide did.
Radioactive mints.
nice looking wife
That good looking guy from Tomestone Territory
Mr Adams (Atoms) Hmmm.
These genius' who make this garbage never thought, well, maybe I ought to weld it together, or put a severe warning label etched into the steel on it. It's only highly deadly radioactive material. Let's be as cavalier as we can be.
It's a tv show mark. If they put a warning on it they wouldnt be able to do the show.
@@roysterfutrell8889 That's all very well, but what about the unborn child ? If they had put warnings on the device, he might not have been born looking like Dan Matthews. Not so funny for him, is it ?
Why does the film often become blurry or "shakes" sometimes? Annoying
I'v seen that too. Must have something to do with translating from film to youtube.
From the radiation! LOL!
I thought it was copied from a tv with a camcorder.
Welcome to the new age....welcome to the new age RADIOACTIVE....RADIOACTIVE!!
Notice that '49 or '50 Hudson Commodore parked where he makes a hard right at 3:47......
That Hudson is either a '48 or '49. 1950 Commodores had different side trim and the sedans had divided rear windows.
@@stevenj8628 I have been searching "Old car brochures" and Google images for 3 hours and I must conclude that it is either a '48 or '49.
@@jacquesgervais1713 Yep. Notice the small, undivided rear window, characteristic of the 1948 and 1949 models. All the 1950 models had a 2-piece rear window except for the Pacemaker, but the trunk details are not correct for a '50 Pacemaker.
Yep it's the 50s. Fins on the backs of vehicles.
2:17 "Exposure to the pellets can be fatal." Matthews: "And could they kill you ?"
15:17 "Twenty One Fifty to headquarters." HQ: "Go ahead Two One Five Oh." DAN (in a correcting tone): "Twenty One Fifty." Even in a nuclear crisis, Dan is such a pedant.

Some rock and roll radio stations used to call themselves “radio-active “ such and such a station.
Ever notice that everyone on this show is white? It would never pass the pc test today...
There aren't even any minorities in the background, not even on the streets. The Ziv company wanted to sell this in the south in an era when some southern stations wouldn't carry Ed Sullivan if he had Nat King Cole on as a guest.
that thin metal shielding that machine is made up off wont shield radiation .
At the beginning the professor said that by just removing the tube would expose people to the radiation because the tube was lined with lead but the screwed end of the tube was only aluminum and that would cause a fatal dose with 5 seconds exposure even if the pellets were still inside the tube. But the guy and his wife took the tube out and the woman dumped out the pellets, and later the prof said they were harmless and went in to pick up the pellets and put them back into the tube...the whole story doesn't match up!
The Moon LANDINGS were no hoax, but you are a screwball.

Buddy if the world agreed with me I'd feel like a fool so thanks and enjoy yer week.
And remember if you care to drive, drive with care. LOL.
Being different for the sake of being different is the definition of ego mania. For someone like me who lived through the Moon landings, stayed up all night watching and hanging on every word, the absurdity of the "Moon hoaxers" is laughable and sad all at the same time. It preforce must throw into question any conclusions or beliefs you may hold in regards to anything. It shows lack of anything like objective thought, or reasoning and a basic lack of even the SLIGHTEST degree of scientific knowledge. THIS iis what marks you as a fool, not how many agree or disagree with you.

LOL believe what the TV told you, delusional to think I care what you think.
Don't bother trying to waste my time buddy.
I think you should get in contact with Malloy or Reed at 1 Adam 12 who may be able to help, or at least, get into contact Efrem Zimbalist Jr. at the FBI and have him investigate the matter. You may have something. You may also want to contact Perry Mason so he can prosecute the people responsible for allowing that device to get into the wrong hands. Maybe Sgt. Joe Friday or Gannon can set up a Dragnet and get the perpetrators in that sort of manner. This is an incident that never should have happened. Where I come from, in Hootersville, this type of thing wouldn't have happened. Hell, even up the road a spell, in Petticoat Junction, they would have known better. Well, I'd write more but, Ethel and Fred are here and I have to get my wife, Lucy, ready for our honeymoon trip across the country in our brand new camping trailer. After that, we are off to sunny California to try to find some treasure which is supposedly buried under a big "W". I'm telling you that this is a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
I remember the old guy from the twilight zone.
🔵BUT MICKEY MOUSE🐭 DIED😢 FROM HANDLING THE RADIO ACTIVE PELLETS AND WILL BE BURY IN A GALAXY🌌 FAR FAR AWAY. 😱HOW FAR AWAY IS THE GALAXY? NOW, LETS HAVE A MOMENT OF PRAYER🙏 FOR THE POOR RAT.🐀
Dan doesn't have Google yet, so he takes a scientist with him!
90kmh i assume!..and why would you want an expert to dismantle it, he already said exposure for a few seconds would kill you!
Dam she's baked already 22:56 the damage is done
Remember when the radiation expert here was in several issues of Science fiction theater (the only show that was cooler than Highway patrol.)
Great old show.....I remember it well. Next in order came One Step Beyond, The Twilight Zone and then The Outer Limits. ;-)
Nothing is cooler than Highway Patrol. It's got Dan Matthews in it, for crying out loud.
