TV series about Dan Matthews (Broderick Crawford) head of police for the California Highway Patrol a few decades before CHiPs. The story is pretty self-explanatory, there don't seem to be any in-jokes or guest stars or topical/historical references.

From Endings for Old TV Shows by Paul Laikin and Jack Davis, Cracked #11, October 1959

  1. In the Mad parody, guest villain Dennis Pivnik is very cartoony in all but one panel, but I think Drucker may have based him off of Maurice Gosfield, from Sgt. Bilko.
