These old shows were the best. We need to get back to these values in America and common sense.

[@schotext2683]

DoctorArt PhD , sure we need to go back to these values....when women were excluded from just about any higher postition, and when they were fired when the became pregnant, when discrimination against blacks was institutionalized, when homosexuality was a crime, when saying you did not believe in god would cost you your job, when an unmarried young mother was a shame or when the child was being taken away to an institution, when the man was the undisputed boss of the society, when abuse could take place without it being considered a serious crime etc. Don’t be so naive as to believe that the moral values of the 50s were higher then now.

California sure has changed. Dad gets out of prison and can buy a Smith & Wesson on his way home? No background check? Today, you'd never be able to buy a handgun in California that easily. Let alone if you'd just been released from prison. 23 cents back then was the equivalent of $5 minimum today. If you could buy a home in California back in 1957 for $23,000, it would be worth at least $500,000 today. Broderick Crawford probably needed that 23 cents for a drink after such a busy day. Both women in this episode were hot. Casting director knew his business.

@ John Mitten -- It is called shrinkflation when a company reduces the weight or amount of product in what they are selling and don't lower the price. For example, most brands of the "not from concentrate" orange juice sold it in the 64 ounce size. Then about ten years ago, they all reduced the weight to 59 ounces. Then about two years ago, all of the brands reduced the weight to 52 ounces. Another example is toilet paper. I have been buying Angel Soft double rolls for at least 25 years. During that time, they have reduced the number of sheets per roll at least four or five times. At one time, each sheet was 4.5 x 4.5 inches. Now each sheet is 4 x 4 inches.

Very true. Prosecutors care a lot more about their reputations than the guilt or innocence of the men they put away.

The character he played was a very "down to earth" man I'd love to meet. His daughter Amely is very, very much my type. She has a strong sense of duty and is very honest. I wouldn't care that his father went to jail; I'd knew she'd make a fine wife and I wouldn't pass by such a chance at happiness. This is very much the kind of woman I would have married had I lived in these years; if I take into account the fact this is a TV show, then I find myself with... a real-life woman who looks remarkably like my current wife!

It's interesting how this is a crime show, but at the end of each show, Broderick Crawford closes, stressing auto safety, and I love that. Then I figured by them covering highway crimes, mostly, that's why. Those sayings he give should be posted in schools, before kids get license, and by seeing them they will practice them. And not think a car is a toy, or extended version of bumper cars, at the fairground. Back in those days of HP you didn't see wrecks nearly as in present time. And I never heard the word road rage, till about 2000, because ppl drove with manners, then. Folks make it a contest of who gets the parking space. When I see someone trying to break their neck, to beat me to a parking spot, i just oblige them, and let them get it, while mentally thinking, "Go ahead child, don't kill yourself, it's not all that serious, to me". It's sad that's their only joy, probably wrote in their diary, "I got a good parking space, today", with a bunch of smiley face emojs behind it. While they should be writing, "I got a life, today, or better still, I got a new life, today". Get that old, mean, devil spirit, out of you, and ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

I have a friend who served in Vietnam. He said that at the PX you could get a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine - the cost was .23 cents. You would put a quarter and .02 cents we’re on the outside of the pack wrapped in cellophane.

[@michaelfornell4467]

I remember buying ciggs for 33 cents a pack.

This is a 1957 Ford Custom 300 model which has a shorter wheelbase than upper Fairlane & Fairlane 500 models of same year. Fair Lane (2 words) was the beautiful estate Henry Ford built in Dearborn as his house.

Anyone else notice Dan is talking at a reasonable rate here? He doesn't use that machine gun delivery he's famous for.

@Retired Music Educator, DRUM BRAKES WERE NOT THE BEST. THAT IS WHAT THOSE CARES HAD ON THEM.

Such a great old program. I always found it funny that Crawford always used the radio before entering the vehicle.

[@frankfarago2825]

All crooks back then were Caucasians. There were only Caucasians in these episodes, come to think of it, so of course the crooks had to be them, too. All crooks were neatly dressed. The cars were built like Tiger tanks, and in the episodes, all cars sounded exactly the same at start-up and when pulling away. The air quality was already pretty horrendous in the L.A Basin and Southern California in the mid to late 1950s. And oh yeah -- there were no graffiti, no garbage splattered on the streets, and no human waste from hundreds of thousands of homeless and other unfortunates flooding the streets, squares, and parks of the main cities.

Great Bible Quote!! from the daughter

[@JohnPMitten]

Amen.

[@PatrickBaptist]

Wow matthews aka ol 502 was actually driving in this episode, I thought his DL was suspended until the later episodes. 17:40 AMEN! Forgiveness actually comes with a price, you must forgive others.

[@royj8549]

@Nuclear Christian Problem is, this man was "forgiven" when he did nothing wrong. The State should have compensated him.

[@mrlaw711]

Funny, you got right through to the police back in the day. Dispatching today interferes more with crime than it helps. I know this because I installed and trained 9-1-1 systems and users. Also, very, very few cops would care about convicting the wrong man. America was a better place back then...never to return.

Even though this is a TV series, in real life there are many people in prison and some that have been executed for crimes they didn't commit. Thank goodness for DNA, it's freed and spared the lives of a lot of innocent people.😮

[@8176morgan]

The daughter goes from ecstasy to hysterics in just five minutes. Tough day for her but thanks to the brave effort of Dan Matthews her father won't have to spend the rest of his life in prison. Just a few years maybe. Thank God for people like him! 😀

[@cdrenfro6682]

Now here's a fantasy episode that you'd never have happen today. No one in law enforcement would ever lift a finger to get someone out of jail that they mistakenly put there. God forbid they admit a mistake.

@75joev China Virus or CIA Virus let loose in China!! CIA has a long standing reputation of Sending in Death Squads! John Perkins the writer spilled the beans on the CIA in his book "Confessions of An Economic Hitman". This book is a real shocker of a reaction those who previously had no idea about the Real inner workings of the Terrorist CIA!!

[@tralfazy]

Well, I finally know who those "Lab Boys" are that Dan Mathews is always asking for! It's just one guy.. Larabie in the next room! 5:55 hehe

[@conniewojahn6445]

I noticed Laraby firing the weapon, but I didn't connect him to the "lab boys" remark Matthews made. Good catch.

Hopefully, DNA testing will keep a lot of people out of prison.

[@TerryM-eu5ou]

Man, Matthews is pointing that gun right at his officer while sitting at his desk, and loading it!! That’s crazy! Love these shows tho..I was 6 years old when this one aired..🙂

Was he loading it? I thought he was just handling it.
