@Coogan : Re plausibility, read my other post in another thread, but here's more detail. No cop would risk his life drinking a drink known to be spiked. In the story, he knew the likely substance, but he didn't know where the crooks got it from - it could well be different or have dangerous impurities. And it was totally unnecessary for him to drink it. Once she dropped her bag he had enough grounds to arrest her, have other cops arrest the accomplice, and give them each the usual interrogation, etc. I don't know what the law was in 1950's LA, but it has long been pretty standard in western countries that cops cannot arrest and hold people willy nilly. But once there is clear suspicion (in this case dropped handbag per known modus operandi) it's a different story. The crime depicted is pretty serious - 1) using a stupifying drug; 2) stealing drugs worth a considerable sum of money, 3) it was a crime planned in detail. And the crims are a husband and wife team. Such a combination is statistically quite unlikely unless at least one has a criminal record. Hence in real life they would almost certainly be identified by the car plates. Again, sufficient grounds to arrest, grill, and search. They would have left prints in the drug company vehicles too. That's the first thing cops would check for. This TV show seems much like "Dragnet" - another cop show cranked out each week like sausages, on the cheap and written by scriptwriters working to tight deadlines without bothering to check if plots are realistic.

While we make a lot of jokes about Crawford’s drinking, it should be noted that he was an incredibly talented actor, an Oscar winner for his his role as Willie Stark in “All the King’s Men.” An unforgettable performance in a classic of the silver screen. He was so talented that Fellini hired hm as the lead in his 1955 film, “il bidone” (The Drum, or The Swindlers). When asked about Crawford in an interview, Fellini said Crawford was a pain the the ass, but a “really talented actor.” Crawford’s drinking really escalated during the time he starred in “Highway Patrol,” leading me to think that the show may have contributed to the problem. In those days, television was seen as a definite step down for most actors, and for an actor of Crawford’s ability, he may have seen himself as humiliated for taking the role. By the way, note how easily he goes from being Dan Matthews into the role of truck driver. Great slob acting.

The same production company that did Highway Patrol also did Sea Hunt and I believe 1 other show ( a western), so they might have had their hands full with hour long programs. Just Googled ZIV PRODUCTIONS and they churned out a ton of half hour programming, including a couple of westerns (Bat Masterson, McKenzie's Raiders, for example). Highway used several different actors as patrolmen, but if you watch closely you see several young men (Clint Eastwood appears in at least 1 episode) that went on to bigger roles in films not to mention being cast for several episodes. Why they didn't have several regulars as patrolmen is a mystery. The other ZIV PRODUCTION show: Sea Hunt did seem to have a roster of semi-regulars as characters as well as 3 or 4 actors that appeared at least twice over the shows run. And again, a few of the actors went on to bigger roles. Examples? Larry Hagman and Leonard Nimoy, Hagman appeared once or twice and Nimoy several times...usually as a bad guy.

For the curious out there who might wonder how much the actors got paid in 1958 for a show like this, I have a AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) Handbook of Rates 1956-1958. Performers on Dramatic Shows, who speak MORE than 5 lines on a show over 15 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes, the rate was $155.00 - the work was considered to be 11 hours (rehearsal hrs. included) with an hour for lunch (unpaid). Performers who speak 5 lines or less on the same length show, the rate was $77.50 and your work was capped at 5 hours. Rehearsal on two days or less, one of which is the show day. Extra rehearsal was $6.25 an hour. I have no idea how much the lead actor (Crawford) might have been paid.

I guess it would depend on the exchange and level of technology employed, as well as how many low number (1, 2, 3) vs high numbers (8, 9, 0) were in the number dialed. In the 1950's, there literally was the whole spectrum of technology from magneto crank phones to direct-dial rotary dial phones in use in our country. I recall in the late 50's and early 60's, to make local calls in my area, you dialed the last number of the exchange number (say 8 of 738) and the last 4. In the early or mid 70's, you had to dial the last two of the exchange (say 38 of 738) plus the last four. By the 90's, you had to dial all 7 numbers of the local number. Today, you have to dial the whole thing, area code plus exchange, plus last four. Touch Tone/DTMF really speeds it up.

The radio frequency used by the CHP at that time required antennas several feet long and mounted outside the vehicle. A portable radio used inside the vehicle with no external antenna would have very limited range, not more than a few hundred feet.

He looks like a guy who has pounded down many martinis .

Awesome program.

They only made one mistake, Mathews went to the ACE detective school. Graduates of that police academy always get their man, or woman.

Good show...love it when the baddies get caught :-)

When they rob the trucks, he puts on gloves. She on the other hand just climbs in the back, no gloves.

Eventhough this is before my tomes, this show like many others were wonderfull shows, where they always had advice from the different agencies as to make it close as possibly to the real thing.

The lady(blonde) is driving a Mercury Turnpike cruiser.

The lady(blonde) is actually driving a 1957 Mercury Montclair Phaeton Sedan not a Turnpike Cruiser. The Turnpike Cruiser would have had an exclusive Breezeway Ventilation consisting of : 1- Front roof-level air intakes with radios antennas sticking out. 2- Power-operated back window. 3- Skylight dual-curve windshield that wraps upward as well as around providing extra light and vision with special tint at top to filter out glare. Cruisers also had a flat-top deep-dish steering wheel. The interior cloth fabric pattern was different than what we have here. Other features to the Cruiser that we do not actually see in this episode are 1- The monitor control panel including a tachometer and an average-speed computer clock. 2- Padded instrument panel. 3- Push-button operated transmission shifter, along with the parking brake. 4- Quadri-Beam headlamps (two eye browed chrome headlamps in each fender) (although some States disallowed four headlamps 'till 1958).

The plot is absurd - why would all these drivers stop for food between the plant and the drop-off? It's too bad - the plot is shockingly incredible. The chances of a driver having to stop are like 1/200.

Not necessarily. I drove local trucks and one outfit I worked for it was common to stop for a coffee and maybe a breakfast before making the first delivery. A good way to start the morning.

The blond was played by Celia Whitney. She was married to Bernie Koppel from "The Love Boat." Too bad she passed away in October of 2013.

Dan staggered after one small sip of drugged coffee. Sure!

Shows in the 50's ran 39 episodes a season and each show was 26 minutes out of a 30 minute slot. I think they are around 22 these days

I don't think that there was any standard back then, a lot seem to have been produced under contract. Highway Patrol, like most ZIV shows, was a syndicated show offered to network affiliates, and independent stations, for time slots when there was no network programing available.

yep and commercials up the ass these days...

Anyone else stop and rewind to look at some of these great vehicles again? Also, why do we often see people get in from the passenger side? I guess back when people were thin is was easier.

Oh, oh. That one last job syndrome has done them in, as always. THE FOOLS!!!

This was a great episode! One observation I had at 1:45 is I thought Broderick seemed a little more lethargic compared to other episodes. Maybe this one was filled in the afternoon after lunch. Doesn't matter - love everyone of these shows. They're timeless.

From 24:19 to the end, he didn't need to act at all - Broderick jusht d-did wha' came natcherly (hic).

I love how at 8:42 there is this looong dialog pause as they wait for the siren from Dan's car to start. Too funny.

A COP driving impaired!?!?

The man sounds like micheal Douglas Looks like him too only real young.
