"Highway Patrol'' was what was known as a ''syndicated'' TV show. That meant that it was not on any of the three major networks of the 1950s, CBS, NBC or ABC. Usually, it aired after the local and/or national news shows but before national network programming started. So before we got Robert Young and ''Father Knows Best,'' we got Broderick Crawford. 10-4.

We were FOCUSED ON THE LAW & PROCEDURE or he'd brag about 'His Actor friends'...Women said he was better looking than Robert Redford and could have been an actor, in so many ways. Good, bad and ugly. He could certainly LIE well... He sold Meat for an Army buddy, MAURIE RATNER, in Las Vegas for 41 years. Great friendship kept a roof over his head! He died at age 61 of BRAIN CANCER. LYMPH NODES INVASION OF CANCER, Pathology showed.... His mother had Brain Cancer. My mom, age 62, On Kitchen floor for 8 days with Stomach Cancer. Brother 'Non Hodgkin Lymphoma' age 47.

'Mission Impossible' with my business partner 'Martin Landau' in `1989' in Beverly Hills, CA and that lasted only one year. If I were lying I'd make up story about making Millions $$ With Martin and being friends for 40 years. NOT. I met Martin at my Birthday Party 1988 in Santa Monica at Jimmy Lennon home he rented to us after my Army stint... (Lennon was a Boxing announcer, as you know. Jimmy was great!

@jonathanvogel8859 Жыл бұрын
Yeah... he gave the program some real challenges.. He was an alcoholic for sure and gave the series problems. Crawford's drinking increased during the filming of Highway Patrol, eventually resulting in several arrests and stops for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), which eventually gained him a suspended driving license.Eventually the drinking strained the show's relationship with the CHP as well as Crawford's relationship with ZIV. Fellow actor Stuart Whitman became a close friend of Crawford. In an interview Whitman said they both clicked upon meeting when cast in an episode of Highway Patrol. According to Whitman, who was going through hard financial times, they became fast friends. Crawford would ask Whitman to play his character whenever he was low on cash, so that Whitman would do the dialogue while he was drinking. Whitman said that later down the line he helped to cast Crawford in The Decks Ran Red (1958). Whitman promised the production that Crawford would stay sober throughout the shoot, and he did

My grand father was off the boat from the old country as I call it. May-be I was around 10 or so, He smoked a pipe from time to time, never for get it, I asked him if I could get the pipe going, he let me do that. Were standing in the tractor door entrance looking out, I suppose I must of just heard the word, I asked my grand father about the big shots, He literally went off on me over that, Jimmy, you stay away from those no good SON's of B,s They're no good. This was in upstate NY back in the day, although I left there in 75, There were a lot of wannabe goons back then, and I am sure just as many now and more. thanks William, you quickened my mind to recount, as a Kid I really didn't understand these things, women with hat pins stabbing men in the neck and that sort of thing we were taught about in school, Now it's all about guns.

The guy who played Whitey Larkin,Sam Buffington, committed suicide at age 28 in 1960. He doesn't look good in this episode. I was thinking mid to late 40's, at least. His IMDB picture looks rough. He did not age well at all. Must have been a boozer or druggie. GOD rest his soul.

That Charlie Phelps the security guard at the main gate of the Jarmin Manufacturing Company (which is actually the ZIV television studios) sure works long hours don’t he? The guy was on duty when Buzz Larkin pulled in with his truck at 6:45 pm. He then worked around the clock with a meal break at 12:00 pm followed by another one at 5:30 am - the time when the robbery occurred - and was on duty when Matthews arrives at 7:30 am, and was still on duty around 10:00 am when the truck pulled out. That works out to be at least a 15 hour + shift. Maybe back then people worked longer hours than they do now, or perhaps the producers of the show were too cheap to hire another security guard to be on duty for all those hours. Good episode though.

The Ziv company did quite well out of producing popular shows like this (remember "The Cisco Kid" that we kids watched on a neighbour's tiny t.v. ca. 1955 ?) until the U.S. big networks began to produce their own shows.
@8176morgan2 жыл бұрын
@@None-zc5vg No, I sure don't remember the Cisco Kid on T.V. as that was before my time. I do remember though watching episodes of the Highway Patrol starting in 1965 when I was five. Aways liked it. 💛

the average family(married) in the 1950s had two children, a mother at home raising the children, one car in the driveway, and renting or buying a buying a home was a matter of choice. the rate of divorce was less then 9% for all ethnic groups. welfare was nit needed because people worked and were honest and 80% of American's attended church at least 2X monthly. The definition of family has been watered down, public schools no longer teach they indoctrinate and poison minds with the virtues of communism, health insurance is not affordable, the political party of slavery promotes racial division daily, America's predominate trade partner is an enemy of America and are communists, all societal problems today can be traced to the two charlatan political parties duping the public that they are looking out for you.

You may be right generally speaking, but your are making a stupid anti-commie comment when you say, "virtues of communism". The US degenerate culture has nothing to do with a communist disciplinary society. US laws are made by statutory pimps pandering to teen recreational sex with it attendant teen abortion and teen mothers, and failing that, leads to irresponsible adults unable to hold a marriage or a relationship for long, as the increase in single mothers, divorcees, abortionists, bachelors, etc., prove. Only the most moronic anti-commie will ever compare US swine culture with "communism", which is on the opposite side, when it comes to social management. Besides, in the 50's, US families had more than two children, and church going began to decline a lot, albeit retaining social morality, partly inspired by religion.
