Asking for the map reminded me....my Dad worked at a gas station back when you drove over an air hose that would "ding" a bell and attendants would come out to your car. Gas, clean your windshield, wipe off your headlights..check your oil if you wanted. One time a guy came in and asked for 25 cents worth of gas......and a road map.

My guess is that criminals were using that road as a getaway until the City of Rochelle said enough is enough and closed down Creston rd over I 39.

None of the customers want to be there. One couple I interviewed couldn't stop discussing when they could get out of town. Another man, a highway patrol captain, just kept screaming for another and another scotch and soda.

Dragnet always realistically provided the actual years and make of the car, such as "1952 Chevrolet coupe." I think Highway Patrol omitted car brand names because Ziv shows were made for 1st run syndication and the various TV stations that purchased the show may have had car makers as sponsors, and if Chevy was an advertiser that week they wouldn't want to hear verbal Ford references in the show, etc. You also never here anyone order a "Coke" or anything like that, all products are always referred to by generic names in Ziv programs.
@davidhimmelsbach557
Жыл бұрын
That's IT. It as common for the main local sponsor to be an auto dealer. It's also why HP/ Ziv Productions kept using so MANY makes -- side by side. Few state patrols ever bought cars -- other than bulk -- from one firm -- typically Ford. This shifted as time went by... with even AMC getting into the game. Check out the AMC cop cars in "Argo." They were laying around after "Adam 12."

All the car sounds are authentic. Many tv shows and movies from this era through the late 70s are all wrong but this show everything matched. As a car guy this is important. A chevy v8 should not sound like a six cylinder british car. It took Hollywood years to get the sounds right. They should have listened to Highway Patrol sound tracks!

The bad guy was Douglas Henderson when he had hair. He was the nearly bald Colonel Milt in the 1962 original Manchurian Candidate movie starring Frank Sinatra.
So nothing but Diner's back then, not a lot of choices to eat in the late 50's, no wonder we ate home most of the time as I grew up not far from this Four Oaks Cafe but didn't eat there till years before it closed down. It was pretty expensive I think.

This week on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. the Four Oaks Café. A restaurant which seems hopelessly stuck in the 1950's. The sign says "short orders" when it should say "sh!t orders". None of the customers want to be there. One couple I interviewed couldn't stop discussing when they could get out of town. Another man, a highway patrol captain, just kept screaming for another and another scotch and soda.

Another vote for Brodrick, "You wanna bet" No wonder this series was so popular. I hope he knew how good he was.
I love this show
Dragnet always realistically provided the actual years and make of the car, such as "1952 Chevrolet coupe." I think Highway Patrol omitted car brand names because Ziv shows were made for 1st run syndication and the various TV stations that purchased the show may have had car makers as sponsors, and if Chevy was an advertiser that week they wouldn't want to hear verbal Ford references in the show, etc. You also never here anyone order a "Coke" or anything like that, all products are always referred to by generic names in Ziv programs.
@davidhimmelsbach557
Жыл бұрын
That's IT. It as common for the main local sponsor to be an auto dealer. It's also why HP/ Ziv Productions kept using so MANY makes -- side by side. Few state patrols ever bought cars -- other than bulk -- from one firm -- typically Ford. This shifted as time went by... with even AMC getting into the game. Check out the AMC cop cars in "Argo." They were laying around after "Adam 12."
ALWAYS look for a second weapon, and cuff asap after u findy any weapon! Training was different then. That's how we learn- the hard way. Felony stop procedures came into being because of the Newhall tragedy in 1970.
