How well do you remember the series premiere of Highway Patrol?

Stolen cars, police blockades and precise communication. All part of the plot for the first episode of Highway Patrol.

 

Before there were 155 more episodes, there was the first one. Highway Patrol was on television from 1955 to 1959. In the process, the police procedural drama inspired several other similar shows years later. 

Can you remember the series premiere titled "Prison Break?" 

Take a look at the questions and images from this episode and aim steady! 

Good luck.

Wow! That's great that you got together after all this time. ☺️
Wow! They should have done for you like that old program "This is Your Life" She and an old teacher you had plus others show up and it is on camera. They bring them on stage one by one and you're so surprised. They talk about you and everything. You get gifts. Maybe even an old boyfriend shows up from HS --This Is Your Life AWL! 🤩
Lol…Wouldn’t that be something 😆 Sounds like fun to me 😉

2/8. I think I've seen about one episode of Highway Patrol in my entire life. Still enjoy taking the quizzes.

The only other show I have ever seen Broderick Crawford in other than Highway Patrol was in one episode of Land of the Giants. He played an evil scientist creating a giant sized robot.

4/8, I have seen most episodes but don't even remember the premiere. I'm not sure if I saw that one.

You got 4 out of 8
Were you able to track down the right score, or did it slip away?

5 out of 8. I can’t get how Broderick Crawford got away with his rapid fire dialogue deliveries. I call him the Fast Talking Man!😂
