Happy 10-4 Day.
Cue the announcer:
"Whenever the laws of any state are broken, a duly authorized organization swings into action. It may be the called the State Police, State Troopers, Militia, the Rangers, or the Highway Patrol. These are the stories of the men whose training, skill, and courage, have enforced and preserved our state laws.
From the web site:
Currently, Highway Patrol is not being aired on TV, and the owner of the series, MGM, has never released episodes on VHS or DVD, as far as we know.
Bummer. Let MGM know of your interest in a trip down memory lane (obeying the speed limit, of course. Don't want to get pulled over).

I remember it was a hoot the way he rattled off the numbers calling back to headquarters on the police radio. How about reruns of “Sky King?”

Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, you young pup. Didn't your grandparents tell you about the days back before TV was in color? Highway Patrol was made in the 1950's. Maybe that's why MGM isn't rebroadcasting the show - figures the public won't accept black & white programming and it will cost too much to colorize.
Just don't reply "gramps, tell me about the olden days." :)

Be sure to wear a Drinking Helmet. Technically, that would be a William Holden Drinking Helmet. :)
