Highway Patrol and Sea Hunt were two of my most favorite TV shows when I was growing up !!
You too Mike ?
I saw and liked both of them back then. Some of my favorites were "Victory at Sea" re-runs and "The Twentieth Century with Walter Cronkite", as well as serial re-runs of "Flash Gordon".
The only one I remember is the 'Flash Gordon' series.
There was a small movie house that would show all of those reruns from the old 'Flash Gordon' series and that was back when I was in high school from 67 to 71. It was right down the street from Disneyland. It was called Melodyland Theater. I saw Bill Cosby there when he was doing his Fat Albert comedy and Johnny Carson too. I used to love it and they would show some of the old wild Bill Hickok TV series also.
Dayum, I sure miss those days.

I was wrong about Melodyland Theater. It was a theater in the round for live performances.
It was close to D'Land. The movie place was across the street from D'Land and I remember, I think..lol, that it was only open on Friday nights and Saturday/Sunday afternoons.
Used to screen Abbott & Costello movies along with Marx Brothers and many others.
Still get to watch "Highway Patrol" on MeTV. I always love all the cars in the show. Plus some of the actors that would appear as officers. A couple of them were William Boyette and John Hart. Boyette would later have a regular role playing a police officer in both "Dragnet" and "Adam 12". And season 2 of "The Lone Ranger", fans will remember Hart in the starring role as masked rider of the plains. Not a good rendition of the Ranger in my opinion, but none the less, he did have the role, for the year that Clayton Moore was away from the show.

9:00 AM Perry Mason, 1:00 PM Gunsmoke, 5:00 Adam 12, 9:00 Beverly Hillbillies, 10:00 Hogan's Heroes, !2:30 AM Perry Mason, 2:00 AM Fear Factor. Not in love with any of them but. My present TV viewing. Got rid of the cable a year ago for an antenna, I'm cheap!
I have been using an antenna for TV all my life. In our townhouse we have it in the attic. We also have a distribution amplifier for it in the house to connect multiple TVs and enhance signal.
I can watch reruns of those shows and many others of that era on available channels. Favorites are Hogan’s Hero’s and Twelve O Clock High.
