."2150 to headquarters"."2150 to headquarters"
I remember this guy. My dad loved him then Archie Bunker.
Highway Patrol was before my time, but I became an instant Broderick Crawford fan the first time I saw All The King’s Men.
That film ought to be required viewing every election year.
“All the Kings Men”
There’s a guy you drink with!
10-4. Back in the days when America was America.
Last week was the 50th anniversary of THE RIFLEMAN. I watched the premier episode on the western channel. Made me feel really old, but also look back on times when values were a lot more black and white.
Wonderful trip down memory lane. That theme music has been in my head for almost 50 yrs? Can it be true, and it’s the first time I’ve heard that opening to the show in at least 45 yrs. I always thought that upon seeing Broderick Crawford for the first time that he had had a successful acting career somewhere, sometime. Now that I’ve seen him in old movies that pre-date Highway Patrol I have a better appreciation for his acting ability and actually feel sorry that he had to take up TV acting when his movie value had depreciated so. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for stopping in and sharing. 10-4

What I remember was how fast he talked.
Why don’t those pictures have any color. Are they out of and old newspaper?
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?”
