I love it everytime Brod Crawford barks into the radio mic...21-50 bye!...it just doesn't get any better....I loved watching this classic show first time around as a kid, on the big 21 inch admiral down in the den in the mid '50s and still love it now, 60 years later....

[@jimblue39]

We had a big old "round" screen Zenith ......with remote controls!!!!!

[@daniellack3559]

Wow Remote controls on the old Zenith ( a great name in tv and radio mfg history)...that is pretty amazing...As I recall the remotes didn't really come on till the mid-late '60s...yours must have been one of the first trial models...was this in the '50s?...( I also recall the units being very large and bulky, barely fitting into one hand!)

[@jimblue39]

This one was a big rather clunky thing. It could change channels (go up or down, you could not select a channel you had to scroll through them all!). It also had a shut off, a mute, and up and down volume control. This was in the early 50's. It was an electro-mechanical device not anywhere near what the remotes are today.

[@daniellack3559]

Hey Jim...really interesting stuff....just one question..did this unit have a wire from the tv to the control unit, or was it "wireless", like the units we have known for many years?

[@jimblue39]

No wires, although there were units with wires. This tv cost a lot of money and I was surprised my father purchased it, we did not have much money back then. Here is a link address showing what the big old clunker looked like. We called it the clunker because that's the noise it made when you clicked on it.

I just can't believe, Cars that were normal of that era, are now possibly collector items, the way they drove such vehicles and park them like nothing, those cars were huge compare to today's standard cars except large SUV's in 2021! and by the way, I was born in 1954 and I'm very fascinated with those ships!

[@davidtosh7200]

A 1958 DeSoto Fireflite 4 door pillared sedan with dual radio antennas, and two tone paint. It look like a 1957 DeSoto, except for early ones have 2 headlights and later ones have 4 headlights, plus trimming are slightly different between these two years apart. Most of 1957 DeSoto Fireflite and Firedome did offered 4 headlights, while the Firesweep only have 2 headlights, by sharing with Dodge and Plymouth body shells.

[@paulday6875]

In 57 it was still illegal for a car to have 4 headlights in many states. 58 became legal.

When the Italian luxury cruise ship, the Andrea Doria, was sunk from a collision with another ship off of Nantucket in 1956, it was carrying a Chrysler designer car by Ghia, the Chrysler Norseman, which if economically feasible, would’ve been part of the Chrysler line and it probably would’ve shown up in Highway Patrol.

[@johnkornegay4748]

Normal voice communications protocol dictates when you are hailing someone you begin with their call sign first followed by yours. This alerts the receiver to listen up for the caller's sign. But this program uses the reverse. It should be: Crawford... "Headquarters" (sign to raise), "2150" (sign who called). Headquarters would respond "2150, Headquarters". 2150 then would initiate the conversation. I know it's nitpicking but it drives me nuts having used this method properly my entire comm career. In the prologue it states the Highway Patrol helped in the making of this program. Someone missed this minor issue.

Capt MacDonald on Adam 12

[@JackGordone]

Ted says (abt 9:25) that he thinks he might "burn", but CA was a gas chamber state, if I remember correctly. Nice to see that back then there was no silly rule about the retirement age for prison guards, not even for Death House Daves like Ted. The old man in the room with them looks to be old enough to have worked with Dave's grandfather.

Dan signs the prisoner release form in pencil?

And the sheet is "landscape" instead of in the normal position?

I'm waiting for them to have to make a turn. No blinkers on cars back then. They would have to use a hand signal out the car window.

By the time this episode was made (1959) turn signals had been standard equipment in cars for several years. I had a 57 Studebaker and have a 59 and both came with turn signals from the factory.

All the wires were above ground then on those 4 tier poles.

What a plan. Criminal genius.

The acting is so bad that I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!😅

The only thing that could make this more absurd would for there have to been a wayx dummy of Wilson in the back seat.
