It's amazing how so many folks young and old enjoy watching these old shows and comment that they wish they made shows like this nowadays. You would think the movie studios would think about what people say.
-
I’m 46, and discovered this show 5 or so years via Me-TV, and is now one of my favorite shows!
-
I always liked this show. I still enjoy watching reruns of Highway Patrol, Dragnet and Perry Mason. They just do not make great shows like that today.
-
Another good episode from season 1 (1955). Note the 1955 Buick they drive off in at the end with the 4 ''air vents'' in the front fender.
-
I prefer these old shows than this crap on tv today NCIS, Blue Blood, etc. This is real and ORIGINAL with authentic people that really play the role.

back then you could tell what kind d of car it was by the, grill, lights, and the overalll shape of the car itself. Today the cars mostly look the same....oh I miss those days...💕. thanks for putting Highway Patrol videos up!

Highway Patrol-2 way car radio's was a cool thing in the 1950's. This series has alot of beautiful cars now considered great classic cars!.

The only time I hunt in a hat, coat, and tie is when my hunting tuxedo is being cleaned.
-
I wasn't even "swimming" when these were made, but they are brilliant and give a good running for their money for the modern programmes!! Glad Foxeema made available.
-
I keep saying the the last episode was the best until the next one. This was a great episode. Casting Carleton Young as the retired mob boss was spot on and his performance with Broderick was a perfect fit.
-
The guy playing the retired gangster is Carleton Young, a favorite of John Ford for his westerns. He had one of the great lines in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend". This was one of the better episodes. Good interplay between Mathews and the retired gangster. The one thing that wasn't logical is the police using lever action winchesters instead of one of the many surplus M1 rifles available at that time.
-
What a great performance by Carleton Young! He's one of the two or three best villains in the whole series run.
-
Carleton Young (1905-1994) was a staple in the 1950s appearing in dozens of TV shows and films, some small parts and others quite prominent such as this one. He carries the episode quite well and a good lineup of cars and trucks show up.
-
It's 'Wishbone' from Rawhide.
-
You have to love the theme and commercial break soundtrack music! And this was real music folks! Those horns are from a real orchestra, not a computer,synthesizer or tape loop. My how times have changed!
-
Classy gangster. Large book collection and a grand piano.
-
Carleton Young who played Jack McCall had an illustrious career in westerns and gangster films. He also had a part in the cult classic, “Reefer Madness”.
-
The safest job on Highway Patrol was that of the narrator: Art Gilmore lived to the ripe old age of 98 (1912 - 2010).
-
The credits for this and several other "Highway Patrol" episodes show Quinn Martin as "Audio Supervisor." He later formed QM Productions, the company that produced "The Fugitive" and "The Streets of San Francisco," among other programs.

Even in the fifties, I never heard of anyone hunting in a tie and jacket with a Fedora, too.
