[@devinagrace1999]

I love how he put out her cigarette, but did Not pick it up

[@bigtimeinfluencer7628]

I suspect that Friday is gay but this is the 1950s so he can't come out.

[@beakt]

9:52 Interesting, he gave the real address and directions of the Hollywood Station of LAPD, which is still there (probably the same building). For all other addresses, they'll describe an intersection of two streets that exist but don't cross, or they'll give a house number and name the street and the house number doesn't exist (5758, where the numbers go from 9000 to 11000).

Thomas Jackson (Joel Pennet in this episode), portrayed the tough as nails detective, Sgt. Flaherty, in the 1931 film "Little Caesar". That film was the thrust to the glorious film career of Edward G. Robinson.

[@Mikael5732]

He played in at least one of the Highway Patrol episodes starring Broderick Crawford.

[@shodanart]

Friday responses during conversation: “...uh huh....yea....right....um-hum” Blonde dame, rebuffed by Friday, stands to leave, throws cig to the floor...walks out. Friday doesn’t pick it up...he mashed it into the floor with his shoe. The 1950s!! lol

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Non filtered ciggs. At least they dissolved eventually.

I like this show because of the serious background music, the odd characters they run into and Fridays retorts..22:30.

[@Retroscoop]

Ever heard of Adblock ? Just add it to your computer, and you can enjoy the programs without one ad. I've used it for 5-6 years, it works out very fine. KZbin of course doesn't like it, as this means less income from ads, if millions of people would install it. The only thing with Adblock is, sometimes other websites from newspapers etc can't be entered, because they too use ads. But KZbin without ads really is heaven ! I'd be ready to pay a small fee every month, if it would be free of stupid ads. Adblock is for free.
