Love this amazing show

[@greyjay9202]

Ford flathead V-8 unmarked detective cars. Cigarette ads. Search warrants issued within half an hour. Wow, does this bring me back.

[@joecrumpler]

The show started on radio. Most old time radio channels air episodes. They always start with a suspect lineup with varied characters.

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on April 26, 1957.

Great to see Seals Stadium right before the Giants started playing there.

That's my motto, and it has served me well lo these many years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like it when they show the commercials of the day. That ipana was in a plastic ball. When I was a little kid, ipana was in a tin tube and whenever I could, I'd sneak into my grama's bathroom and eat the stuff and they'd get mad about it. That toothpaste tasted SO GOOD! then I had to brush with green toothpaste. Crest! With florestan. Tasted terrible.

Retired from the SFFD in 98. Some of those old Ariel Truck Co.s and Engines were Reserve units when I first came on in 78. Love the City locations from the 50’s & 60’s. Quite a town before the Love Generation. Smelly hippies.

[@paulgooding803]

"Hippies" were six decades ago. Do you get out much?

[@greyjay9202]

The "love" generation turned large parts of the city into an open sewer. Disease, public nudity, drug peddling, biker gangs, and homeless kids wandering the streets. Not very different today, actually. Add in illegal immigrants and the mentally ill.

Just more proof that not everyone who wears a uniform is a hero.

At 26:20 the longtime news reader of the NBC Today Show in the 1950s and 1960s Frank Blair doing the cigarette commercial .

[@JJJBRICE]

With stoic grandfatherly Warner Anderson has Mr. Serious Lt. and Tom Tully as the muscle !

[@steverhodesvideos6244]

Pell Mell cigarettes, or Pall Mall cigarettes?

[@LucianTSkeptic]

Couldn't they just turn back the hands on the clock?

[@mikejohnson599]

hate the disgusting murderous cig commercials

[@tommytwogloves16]

That was life in the 50’s. Pall Mall cigarettes. You could draw smoke from either end for a certain ☠️!
