Pretty much typical plot, although the big motorcycle and pretty blonde dispatcher were a nice touch. Chief Dan has never talked faster, as if he was itching to leave. Still, HP was a fun watch and provides great 50s nostalgia, especially given all the guest stars over the years. What's amazing is the fact there is no acknowledgement, or even a hint, that this is the end of the series, which would have surely boosted ratings. Highway Patrol (1955-59) and Seahunt (1958-62) were two of the most iconic series from the first full decade of TV, with two stars, Broderick Crawford and Lloyd Bridges, who knew how to wear a fedora and an aqualung, respectively.
