    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The dispatcher's voice was that of Shaaron Claridge, a real Los Angeles dispatcher. Jack Webb thought using a real dispatcher for the voice-overs would lend authenticity to the program.
    • Goofs
      Whenever there is an insert of either the radio, the "hot sheet" (list of stolen cars), or when Reed is jotting down information on the pad, the visuals almost never match the continuity of the scene. Example: It can be daytime in the scene, but when the insert of the radio or the hot sheet is shown, they appear, due to the lighting, that the inserts are from nighttime. Also, the same insert of Reed writing on the pad is used whenever he writes info down. As with the errors with the radio not matching the scene, there are times when Reed is wearing the short-sleeve uniform, yet when he's writing info down, we see the cuff of a long-sleeve shirt.
    • Quotes
      • Pete Malloy: You know what this is?
      • Jim Reed: Yes sir, it's a police car.
      • Pete Malloy: This black and white patrol car has an overhead valve V8 engine. It develops 325 horsepower at 4800 RPM's. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in seven seconds; it has a top speed of 120 miles an hour. It's equipped with a multi-channeled DFE radio and an electronic siren capable of emitting three variables: wail, yelp, and alert. It also serves as an outside radio speaker and public address system. The automobile has two shotgun racks: one attached to the bottom portion of the front seat, one in the vehicle trunk. Attached to the middle of the dash, illuminated by a single bulb is a hot sheet desk, fastened to which you will always make sure is the latest one off the teletype before you ever roll.
      • Jim Reed: Yes sir.
      • Pete Malloy: It's your life insurance and mine. You take care of it and it'll take care of you.
      • Jim Reed: Yes sir. You want me to drive?
    • Crazy credits
      The episode "Elegy for a Pig" was broadcast without the usual opening credits sequence. Instead, the voice of series creator Jack Webb can be heard reading the credits.
