I do enjoy the economic storytelling in some of these old TV shows. Highway Patrol was one of the best written, despite the fact that it was obviously very low budget. It's not better than the best new stuff, but it's relaxing, nostalgic entertainment. Very enjoyable. Thanks to Foxeema for these good quality uploads.

Neither the acting or writing seemed low budget. It seems like its expense in the quality of the show is better than anything else back or today. Why spend more money on CGI, Fancy cop clothes, over paid actors. Its only my opinion, I disagree with you its not as good as the best new stuff. There were great writers & actors back then who had to do well or starve. Today the actors get paid millions, why should they care how good their acting is, kids will piss their money away nowadays anyway. The writers were famous over many different tv shows. Many famous directors back then in movies, directed in certain tv shows. Westerns they wore cheap clothes to save money didnt detract from the story line. The actors today cant act themselves out of a paper bag. Kids wont watch a movie unless they have to pay it in a movie theater, it has to be in color, Stallone has to be realistic doing cartwheels dodging machine gun fire, it has to have CGi graphics, cussing, nudity, blood splattered on the wall, the movie has to be widescreen, bluray, not made before the year 2000 THX sound, & come in a pretty box, Young people dont know their as from a hole in the ground.

I can understand you watch only G movies. Cop shows have to be violent to be realistic. Kids have to be educated about violence, just read the bible. If blood splattered walls movies come on, I simply turn the channel. The violence on this would make kids laugh compared to garbage nowadays.

Probably true. 50's movies shows didn't carry any explictly violent or sexual scenes, a clear sign of the culture that prevailed back then. The 70's were a turning point, when things began to change, with the attendant increase in sexual abuse and violence in US society.

The restaurant became a speakeasy in the 1920s with illegal hooch and prostitutes. Given the clientele, a number of bad things could have happened on that piece of real estate. The one documented case was a doozy. Down a bit from the current Four Oaks site, a man stormed into a roadhouse and confronted his wife in bed with her lover. In a rage, he hacked off the male adulterer’s head with a scythe, bathing the room in blood. The locals captured the murderer and hanged him, and the wandering wife inherited all of the man’s money and property.

This seemed like a throwed together episode. Lotta bloopers. Usually they got police procedures pretty close but even tho the victim wrote "blue convertible" on the drawing, what we in the police world call a "clue" they didn't immediately, or really ever, put out a BOLO, Be On Look Out, for the vehicle. Kinda wasted that part of the scene. I'm no artist but seems like it would have taken several minutes to draw a good likeness like that. I know it was the 50's, I'm bout same age as the show, but they usually took more care with story lines. Of course ya gotta take into consideration that a crime had to occur, Dan the Man had to find out about it, get some amazing breaks and solve the crime in one episode. Not too shabby. After over 40 years of law enforcement and related fields I'm pretty sure this show, then Adam 12, Emergency, CHiPs and of course Dragnet affected my career choices. Unfortunately real police work ain't nothing like TV and movies. Stupid criminals account for most solved cases and when we get shot or beat up it hurts or kills us. We don't do a Bruce Willis and lean on an ambulance givin life lecture to our daughter 30 minutes after a beat down and shootin thru our own shoulder to kill the bad guy behind us. We have multiple surgeries and months of rehab, IF we even survive. Then PTSD makes us write long boring comments that no one reads. But that's ok, we call it "therapy" cause nobody wants to hear our old cop stories. Ya'll take care. And I hope on some other plain that every time we watch these old shows the characters come alive and get to relive em too. Crazy, right? Guess I'll never grow up. Thot it was real when I watched as a kid. Then had to figure out that real life sucks, mostly. Ain't that why we're here still watchin? Escape? Ya'll take more care. L8r.

The infamous Four Oaks Cafe... It's a slow day in the neighborhood when the Highway Patrol pulls over to look at a paper pad on the road. You could make a pot of tea, or 10 or 20, with that behemoth. That art gallery dealer is going to loot the place as soon as Mathews leaves. 20:00 "I was going to give that guy a break and write him for 60 in a 55. Now he's getting the full ticket, by golly." 21:52 "We can't hire another killer. There isn't time!" Next time, plan ahead. I like Williams' glance at Mathews in the apartment. "The place is surrounded." "Really?"

Neither the acting or writing seemed low budget. It seems like its expense in the quality of the show is better than anything else back or today. Why spend more money on CGI, Fancy cop clothes, over paid actors. Its only my opinion, I disagree with you its not as good as the best new stuff. There were great writers & actors back then who had to do well or starve. Today the actors get paid millions, why should they care how good their acting is, kids will piss their money away nowadays anyway. The writers were famous over many different tv shows. Many famous directors back then in movies, directed in certain tv shows. Westerns they wore cheap clothes to save money didnt detract from the story line. The actors today cant act themselves out of a paper bag. Kids wont watch a movie unless they have to pay it in a movie theater, it has to be in color, Stallone has to be realistic doing cartwheels dodging machine gun fire, it has to have CGi graphics, cussing, nudity, blood splattered on the wall, the movie has to be widescreen, bluray, not made before the year 2000 THX sound, & come in a pretty box, Young people dont know their as from a hole in the ground.

Probably true. 50's movies shows didn't carry any explictly violent or sexual scenes, a clear sign of the culture that prevailed back then. The 70's were a turning point, when things began to change, with the attendant increase in sexual abuse and violence in US society.

I enjoy watching all of these videos, its amazing how the Highway Patrol and police departments can do their job, today with all the modern technology their job can go much faster and better than back in the 1950's modern computers and other technology systems.
this isn't so much of a crime show, but an vehicle showcase -- at lest they use the Big Three, Ford, GM, and Chrysler, mostly the latter, though. love looking t those classic finned beauties.
The restaurant became a speakeasy in the 1920s with illegal hooch and prostitutes. Given the clientele, a number of bad things could have happened on that piece of real estate. The one documented case was a doozy. Down a bit from the current Four Oaks site, a man stormed into a roadhouse and confronted his wife in bed with her lover. In a rage, he hacked off the male adulterer’s head with a scythe, bathing the room in blood. The locals captured the murderer and hanged him, and the wandering wife inherited all of the man’s money and property.
All this, packed into less than 30 minutes! Makes all the garbage that's stuck into movies, and shows, glaring. Just the meat of the story.
I liked this one very much.

They said meet at the Mountain Cafe but it said 4 Oaks om the sign.
It seems like wherever possible, they tried to shoot with only one camera. This is particularly obvious in the scenes where people seem to slide across from one side of the car to the other and in some of the dialogue where they actually shoot with one person talking with their back to the camera. I guess this made for speed and kept the budget down.

This seemed like a throwed together episode. Lotta bloopers. Usually they got police procedures pretty close but even tho the victim wrote "blue convertible" on the drawing, what we in the police world call a "clue" they didn't immediately, or really ever, put out a BOLO, Be On Look Out, for the vehicle. Kinda wasted that part of the scene. I'm no artist but seems like it would have taken several minutes to draw a good likeness like that. I know it was the 50's, I'm bout same age as the show, but they usually took more care with story lines. Of course ya gotta take into consideration that a crime had to occur, Dan the Man had to find out about it, get some amazing breaks and solve the crime in one episode. Not too shabby. After over 40 years of law enforcement and related fields I'm pretty sure this show, then Adam 12, Emergency, CHiPs and of course Dragnet affected my career choices. Unfortunately real police work ain't nothing like TV and movies. Stupid criminals account for most solved cases and when we get shot or beat up it hurts or kills us. We don't do a Bruce Willis and lean on an ambulance givin life lecture to our daughter 30 minutes after a beat down and shootin thru our own shoulder to kill the bad guy behind us. We have multiple surgeries and months of rehab, IF we even survive. Then PTSD makes us write long boring comments that no one reads. But that's ok, we call it "therapy" cause nobody wants to hear our old cop stories. Ya'll take care. And I hope on some other plain that every time we watch these old shows the characters come alive and get to relive em too. Crazy, right? Guess I'll never grow up. Thot it was real when I watched as a kid. Then had to figure out that real life sucks, mostly. Ain't that why we're here still watchin? Escape? Ya'll take more care. L8r.

" Stupid criminals account for most solved cases and when we get shot or beat up it hurts or kills us." A surprisingly honest confession from a former cop. I read your long comment to the end. Testimony like yours helps put the show in the right perspective. Thanks.

@@alphonsozorro7952 Most smart people find a way of earning a living honestly, or at least one that looks so. Most crooks are, then, idiots by definition. That makes the real smart ones double dangerous. Thus, police end up being an evolutionary "survival of the fittest" mechanism!
This plot is just silly: A guy is shot twice at close range, yet still manages to complete a detailed charcoal sketch of his killer. Somehow the sketch pad ends up on the road. A cop decides to stop and pick it up.

A bit far fetched
The cop pulled him over for doing 70 in a 55 . . . that's 'going to church' speed today on the Long Island Expressway, you gotta do about 80+ to get a cop to think about pulling you over.

@@BearStar1 I know that look it up in a repair manual, I have one actually I have a lot they cover American cars from 1940 up to 1985 and in 1958, the cubic inch was 364, the torque was 445. If you don't have a repair manual Google it
We'll be at the Mountain Cafe, 10-4. They pull up the Four Oaks Cafe.
The booze gave Crawford the perfect "cops voice".
The infamous Four Oaks Cafe... It's a slow day in the neighborhood when the Highway Patrol pulls over to look at a paper pad on the road. You could make a pot of tea, or 10 or 20, with that behemoth. That art gallery dealer is going to loot the place as soon as Mathews leaves. 20:00 "I was going to give that guy a break and write him for 60 in a 55. Now he's getting the full ticket, by golly." 21:52 "We can't hire another killer. There isn't time!" Next time, plan ahead. I like Williams' glance at Mathews in the apartment. "The place is surrounded." "Really?"

Those are some greedy, bloodthirsty geezers. Not the way I care to leave this veil of tears.
DUH, if the "professional hit man" had just drove the speed limit, he could have been long gone. Guess he wasn't so professional after all. And who would let the hired killer know where they live so he could find them later?
