Highway Patrol: Hit And Run

I love watching HP. Especially seeing how rural areas around Los Angeles were 55 years ago. I'm trying to decide what kind of car Dan is driving. Looks like it might be an Oldsmobile. I know later in the series he drove mostly Dodge patrol cars. Also nice seeing William Boyett in most episodes. Later he would be seen in Dragnet 1967-1970 and of course Adam-12.

Thanks very much for the local color, it's fascinating to a non-Californian like me. I've used Google Maps "Street View" on a few of these locations, and the contrast between then and now is remarkable. I find the location settings in "Highway Patrol" one of its main draws, along with the vintage cars. Great show.

Update - The bridge on which Helen stands is on Overland Ave. in Culver City and is over Ballona Creek. If you go to Mapquest and look at the bridge with the 360 degree view you can see that the bridge railings still match. The Baldwin Hills can be seen in the background to the southeast. Earlier, when she is driving toward the fateful spot and the camera is pointed to the northwest, you can see the white spire of the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium at 4117 Overland Ave. in the distance.

Sorry. Should have written "McConnell Ave," not "McConnell Blvd."

From the just barely legible street sign that says "McConnell Blvd." and the street address - 12755 - on the house, it seems likely that at the beginning of the episode Joe and Helen are driving east on Washington Blvd. in Culver City. The other street visible to the right is Washington Place. After getting back in the car Helen continues east along Washington Blvd. past McConnell Blvd. and toward Centinela Ave.

Notice a parked VW bug in the background late in the episode. Still fairly rare at the time.

Helen Barton, an emotionally upset woman, hits a pedestrian and of course, drives off. Lots of nice SOCA locations and period automobiles. Good acting and a human story add to the mix. 10/4?

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.
