Highway Patrol 87 in Narcotics Racket

[@daler.steffy1047]

If you want to get a glimpse, for example, into what the west and northwest areas of the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles County) were like during the time this program was being filmed, circa mid-1950s, you actually will, but it will be fleeting. You will see some healthy orange groves and rural roads, where, in the course of the next 10 years, the trees would have been all torn out, the roads widened and paved, and housing subdivisions, with backyard swimming pools, then built where once stood those beautiful orange trees. I lived in Northridge from 1961 to 1966. Our home was built in 1960 (in Northridge, next to the community of Chatsworth) in what had been one of those orange groves; but we did end up with about 10 trees on our property that were not ripped out at the time of our home's construction. ~ Actually, in one episode I saw recently, the bad guys had parked their car on a gravel road next to an orange grove, and there was a construction sign that rose up behind them, but in front of the closest trees to this country lane, making it visible from the road itself, and for us, the viewers. Now, what was unique about that particular setting for me was the sign, as it was a "developer's advertising (small-ish) billboard that said on it, in large letters, Chateau Highlands; and in the background you could hear bulldozers working/clearing the land, in preparation for starting the construction of new homes, ours included. My family ended up living in Chateau Highlands Estates (moving there in 1961), so I got to see, for the first time--and the only time, at least what the rural lane would eventually become, as well as what the entrance to our neighborhood had looked like just ahead of the new housing development pushing through that orange grove and becoming, actually, a quite nice housing tract. And I am going to assume, given the sparse evidence I had to work with, that the dirt lane In the foreground of that show clip, is now Tampa Street, a wide, busy, four-lane road that runs from Porter Ranch in the local mountain foothills to the north, before dropping down onto the Valley floor, past the Northridge Mall (were there used to be a healthy orange grove and the Shasta Trailer Manufacturing Company, where I worked the summer between my second and third years of college); and then across the width of the San Fernando Valley towards Woodland Hills, I believe. ~ Sometimes I'm not sure how to define "progress," especially when seeing "before photos" that show you the "Rural Experience," and then the "afterward photos," which are the ones that make you ponder why. However, it was still a great life in both my "immediate" and extended neighborhoods in Northridge, where we were "surrounded" by wonderful neighbors and good friends. Ultimately, you have to "weigh it all out;" and in the final analysis, you really don't have any concert answer answers--just blacktop results. ~drs (08/22/24)

Actress Lorraine Dell Wood who played the dispatcher, sure was easy on the eyes. According to IMDb, she played the dispatcher on 6 episodes of Highway Patrol with no credits for any other tv shows or movies. With her looks, I would have thought she would have had more parts in tv shows and movies.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Plus she had one non speaking role (at the award ceremony for the young man in the episode "License Plates") She may have been a ZIV employee or ??? Others who appeared on the show didn't have much of a career after HP. Most of Lorraine's appearances she did have decent screen time. Also there is no birth or death dates on her so it's possible she could have died very young and not had time to kick off an acting career.

[@mikesmith-po8nd]

Muffs 55mercury, I found some more info about her and tried to post a link. Unfortunately, the platform deleted it. Anyway, there is another page about her, but it uses a slightly alternate spelling of her name. Search Laraine Dell Wood. Sometimes spelled Lorraine Del Wood. It doesn't list HP in her credits, but she was in Hollywood and involved in the movie industry during the time that it was being filmed, so apparently it's the same person. I'll try adding another reply to see if I can get you the page.

He and his family lived for a while on Halsted Street, across Tampa Street, which the latter reference ran along the side of our home. And that Dusty Rogers, the son of famed cowboy/girl stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, attended the same high school I did , although he was ahead of me by, I think, one grade level? And that character actor, Claude Akins, lived for a while in our neighborhood, that was called Chateau Highlands Estates, and I delivered the "Valley News and Greensheet" to his home (also in the 1960s)...?

Ma Davis, played by Actress Terry Blake has no bio on the Internet. If anyone has any information on her, it would be nice for them to supply her birth and death dates. I was able to find that she also played on one episode of Mr. Ed too. In a book written by Barbara Payton, entitled: "I am Not Ashamed", she mentioned that the part for Mr. Ed called for Terry Blake to faint while watching an operation. While in the waiting room, waiting to be interviewed, she screamed and faked her fainting spell so convincingly that the others who were there waiting to be interviewed called an ambulance. She got the part. :)

You know I was just thinking, when this show was on the air, Alaska & Hawaii were becoming States,and Live TV wasn't yet invented,and man hadn't yet walked on the moon. We were just beginning to orbit the Earth. No satellites, nothing like we have today. Amazing once we achieved all those, technology seemed to explode. Back then more homes had TV's than had Telephones.

[@alpha-omega2362]

there was more live TV then than now. and the "live TV" now may be taped "live" but broadcast later... most of the live TV of the 50s is lost because video tape was not yet available, some of the live shows were filmed from the tv image .....

[@frankfarago2825]

First television signals sent over the air was in 1914, by the early 1930 we had television stations in New York, and in Germany the 1936 Summer Olympic Games were broadcast on television form opening to closing ceremonies. All done as "live" as they come.

[@-oiiio-3993]

"No satellites"? Though Plymouth would not launch their Satellite until 1965, the USSR launched Sputnik on October 04, 1957. The U.S. sent its first, 'Explorer 1', on Jan. 31, 1958. By the time the last episode of Highway Patrol originally aired June 29, 1959, there had been successful launches of 4 Russian and 11 U.S. satellites. Alaska became a U.S. state on January 03, 1959, though the 49th star was added to the U.S. flag on July 04. Hawai'i was admitted August 21, 1959, the 50th star added to the flag on July 04, 1960.

Great episode. As a LA native it's hard for me to point out exactly where the locations were. The orange groves were more than likely Chatsworth, California, just outside the Spahn Movie Ranch. They used that location before and I was able to see the street signs for that episode. However, they mentioned "Larchmont" in the show which is an older up-scale shopping area in LA- before the malls. Larchmont is only a few blocks long and its almost all retail. It was blocks away from the studio where they filmed so that might be the location for the restaurant and other stores. Anyone recognize any of the businesses from 1958? I was born that year!

[@jeffsiegel4879]

That was the way it was done. In fact, almost every old car only has a key slot on the passenger door, not the driver door. Remember, there were still a lot of dirt streets but paved sidewalks, so it was customary to exit or climb into the car on the sidewalk/passenger side. All cars had a bench seat, and that's the way it was done until right about when the show was shot (mid to late 1950's). I'll bet (haven't looked yet) that all of the cars in the show have key slots on the driver doors. Things were changing fast in the automotive world. European cars had bucket seats, and in 1958 (per google) they started to appear on the American cars, so you'd need to have a key slot on the driver door!

All the 50's shows seem to do this, almost as if they think it makes the bullets go faster or something. I would think aiming the damn thing would be a little more important than style!

[@smokineagle3160]

When we were Kids (50's) we thought that was how you shot a hand gun. Cowboys did it too. I'd love to know how Hollywood thought that was how it was done. This show is so Hooky it's funny and I have to keep watching episodes. Big difference from how I viewed it as a kid....

[@binyon7]

Correctomundo, cave boy! More than how they shoot is how damn much they do shoot!

[@michaelwertzy9808]

Still do it! To this day (often) nobody can come close to hitting anything including the "barn door"! The same thing with holding the damn gun perpendicular to the target.

They may have shot Ma accidentally.............twice

[@marctoscano5354]

Not much different than todays stickups were a couple of kids with a gun stick up a convenience store and panic shooting the cashier only to find no cash in the till. Only difference is they usually run off in crappy Japanese cars instead of something really cool like these 1950's finned beauties.

[@cornucopiaofcool2144]

Did they ever film at night? They did the old "it's getting dark" but I've yet to see an actual night scene. Red Bluff CA Sheriff says no more day time patrols. CHP going to have to respond to emergencies. Resurrect ol BRODERICK the Day shift needs you.

[@leeo.g5025]

Back then no camera's could record in the dark i guess. You wouldnt be able to see anything.

[@mikesmith-po8nd]

I seem to remember a couple episodes where they did "day for night".

[@helenkruse]

They are playing this one today. They call saying they are the IRS, police & someone has been arrested, etc.'Tis all the same.

[@helenkruse]

Brian Salomon I know. I started school in 1966 so when they came out with computer dating, we ALL laughed. These gift cards to me, it says, Here I don't know you well enough nor do I care, buy what you want. Then these cards make it easier for the scammers to scam. It would be extremely hard for me to be scammed. When they call from "Microsoft" and tell me they have been getting error messages from my computer I play with them and the longest I had a scammer on the phone was 30 minutes before he finally started cussing me out. You know, I don't get many phone calls any more. I have messed with the scammers so much, I think maybe they put my number on their Do Not Call Lists. haha

[@helenkruse]

Brian Salomon That's good too. I do believe the scammers have my number on a Do Not Call list and sent it around. haha I don't get the scam calls like I used to get since I started messing with them. haha Sometimes I'm bored and it's fun.

No, they just let up of the gas so their tail lights would not turn on as they slowed down discreetly in order not to draw attention.
