Great episode. As a retired 20 year NYPD vet- from my viewpoint this is the best episode. The wife is keeping his memory alive by contributing to , being involved in ,and helping the department he gave his life serving.
Pretty good episode, showing what the wives go through and how different women handle it in their own way. Great of Dan to use his contacts to help Wiley find a job. Very few, if any, managers will ever do that.

An excellent episode and a nice departure from the usual crook chasing. Showing what happens in the personal lives behind the scenes of law enforcement spouses is just as important.
A tragic situation like the loss of someone close can be like being at a crossroads. One can either go one way and become very depressed, or go the other way and become enlightened, as this episode clearly depicted. Great story line.
Back in the early 80's a woman lost her husband who was one of our drivers in a motorcycle accident and our bosses gave her a job in the office as she had some experience in the field. We thought it was the last place she'd want to be but it worked out fine for her.
@@Scott-ly2nk "Cat's in the Cradle" came to mind. I think relations with the boy were going to get better now that the whole issue with his wife being afraid for him was resolved.
Maybe change "mundane" to a different word? Errands and personal matters are often seen as interchangeable... Errands are part of personal matters but personal matters like here are farthest from mundane. Sorry, just i am retired now. I was a Sr enlisted (USN USMC) also cross trained with SWAT Teams; later an Officer, who was part of similar situations, lost many, and am last one alive of my Recon unit. I know you meant well in your reply. My PTSD from seeing so many deaths (military, healthcare and ordained minister) ... Personal matters aren't mundane. Every time Dan speaks with a victim is a personal matter. I'm only trying to show how from many who may have read that are unable to say something, in my different occupations i did what Dan is doing in this episode which never came easy or mundane these 2 words are interchangeable.
Good episode. Why you ask? --because it illustrates the strong connection in humans between what we think and how we feel. The girl in the episode changed her thinking about the dangers inherent in her husband's work and her feelings rapidly fell into line, recognizing that real happiness could be achieved for both. She hadn't thought about what it meant to her husband to excel in the career he had chosen or understood the real services he performed on duty, and she recognized that a supporting her man's career choice meant real happiness for both him AND her!! In addition there was the point about taking risks pointed out by Matthews. Yes we all take risks in life: walking to the store, using a ladder to paint your house, driving to the grocery store, etc. It's like Mike Rowe has said before about the topic of safety. If we endlessly put safety first, denying ourselves the chance to do what we believe in and excel at, & which serves a vital purpose, we can actually cause more harm to ourselves as we live a safer and more emotionally miserable life... Matthews is the Philosopher-Copusing applied values in action to get things done!
Mathews really showed himself to be a good boss in this episode. He didn't give up on the guy and even found old Ed another job.Where would you find an employer like that in reality? Now that's what I call setting a good example, even if no employer I ever had followed it.
After I graduated from high school, I joined the US Navy and I wanted to make a career of it because I loved going out to sea and the military life. I got married and my wife wailed and ranted because I wanted to re-enlist for another 4 years. Well, I gave in and left the Navy after 4 years. I went into an engineering career and made a good living, but to this day I miss the Navy and my life's dream. See how women screw up your life?
@@andrewbillingsley9377.. we're a dying breed hoss, and there will be less, and less of our breed. I also served in the US NAVY, and had three failed relationships while on my enlistment because of my deployments. I don't blame them for feeling mellodramatic but there's a mortal sin to abandon your conscience. My momma was against me going into the armed forces either but it was my dream to defend my country just like my uncles. I guess it's a women's point of view, and nature. I'm NOT married but I tried numerous times until my fortieth birthday with no avail. Oh well. The US DoD and NASA are taking care of me now with a healthy competition 🇺🇲🫡⚓👉🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
U can't be too mad at her she's in your channel picture. What did you do in USN? I was USN USMC HMC, Later was stupid and Commissioned as a Nurse Corps Officer. Never married, no children (not counting nephews and nieces), no pets also no wife/children to leave the pet with.
Larry Thor was the cop who quit. Famous. He had a staring role in at last one sci-fi movie. He stared on radio as a cop in Broadway Is My Beat, a very popular show. He later taught acting at UCLA or USC. Also an announcer on a radio series.
Observe Crawford'so facial expressions as the cop's wife talks about her husband and what he was like. You're watching a real pro in the acting world. There was a reason he was an Academy Award Winner. For those interested, watch the 1951 movie The Mob featuring Broderick Crawford! He plays the cop whose last name is Da'Mico. Spelling is incorrect, but that's the name.
Crawford did a fantastic job in that scene. And so did the actress playing the cop’s wife. Breaking this kind of news to bereaved families is said by a lot of cops to be the hardest part of the job. He remember Inspector Morse telling Sgt. Lewis how it was the part of the job he hated. To which Lewis answered “that’s why you make me do it.”
Larry Thor had been a busy actor in radio drama during the late 1940s-early 1950s. He starred in a long-running series, “Broadway is My Beat”. Very recognizable voice..
10 of 10. Best elisode ever. To the wives and families of the men in blue everywhere,,, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your fear, and sacrifices, dont go unrecognized, of unappreciated..
Great episode, even though most of them are. This confirms what I keep saying about Dan : Hes a real nice guy . . . unless youre a crook, then hes a real bastard =)
Officers back in the day did not have "back up" as you see today (sometimes even today it is 1/2 hour or more depending on shift and manpower needs) The Cops then were WWII and Korean war vets, that did the job period. (no strangers to danger) Mathews stated in one episode that he has a car for every 100 square miles. True then and still in some areas, now we have a basic ratio of 1 Cop for every 1000 residents that need service in a city. Defunding of the Police and we now have less. These shows are of what was Law Enforcement then not now, and remember it is a TV show. (and a very good one at that!)
The time of the real kitchen canaries! Perfectly coifed (although the drapes didn't match the carpet) and gloves to go visiting.An episode where no one gets slugged with a 38 and Dan's snub nose heater stays in the holster.Good one.
*I didn't recognize "Will Robinson's" dad, "John Robinson", who was the cop that was shot and killed at the beginning. But I did recognize the name of actor Guy Williams, who starred in "Lost In Space" as Billy Mumy's dad aboard the starship Jupiter II. Funny thing, since he was at rock bottom in the Highway Patrol credits, but not one of the half dozen names atop his were recognizable to me. Only his.*
THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE EPISODE! ANY PERSON CAN DIE AT ANY TIME FROM ANYTHING! WE LIVE IN A FALLEN WORLD; NO ONE IS GUARANTEED TOMORROW! I AGREE WITH THE COMMENTER BELOW ABOUT BRODERICK'S ACTING!! SO AWESOME! MOB & SCANDAL SHEET WERE INCREDIBLE!!
Funny. Episode 74 Insulin which I just saw, was the house next door, 2245 Canyon Rd. Los Angeles Ca., which you can see in Google Earth street view. They took care of this house, not the one just mentioned. Shame, was a beautiful home before.
If that little boy is asking his daddy to spend time with him..play catch or throw darts..then the dad had better well do it! Build a relationship for the hard times to come.
@@muffs55mercury61 Dang! I got beat out of that one by 3 weeks! I kept singing the chorus to that song in my head every time the son got snubbed. I think the relations with the boy were improved after the fears of the wife were resolved and the guy went back to the HP.
I've had many friends who were cops and some still.are. Full respect is due to Law Enforcement spouses. Nobody ever believes that it can happen but officers can't dwell on it. You do your job and hope that it's not your time. My cousin got shot last year and her vest saved her life. It wasn't her time
This episode reminds me of what the institution of marriage was for many many years. A man wanted what his wife wanted & vice versa. I know such unions are still out there but they're very hard to find, so much of the thinking being "what's in it for me?".
Wylie: Got to look before you leap, I have made the same mistakes when working, even returning to a previous job. Carol Thurston (1920-1969) was a beautiful actress, was nice to have seen her as the dispatcher, she died young at just 49, I was only 13 at that time, very much enjoyed this sad episode, hope it went well for ex officer Wylie.
I enjoy these episodes and I really like the scenery and the cars of that era. I think if someone would study the scenes and areas where filming took place and do a then-and-now type UA-cam story showing the houses and buildings and other locations it would be interesting to see the changes that have taken place over the decades. Speaking of changes how about retiring on $250.00 a month?
At 1:33, the car keeps moving forward after he gets out of it. As a post-script, the next morning, Officer Wiley was killed by a sniper. His wife overdosed on sleeping pills in an attempt to fight the grief. Dan Matthews spent the rest of his life playing catch with Wiley's little boy.
snowden67 Wiley's little boy grew up to be Michael Jackson only to overdose and die during a las vegas performance rehearsal. Dan, grief stricken, promptly fell asleep.

At 17:09, Ed says "When a person says 'no', I accept it. If I were a salesman and really cared about my work, I wouldn't accept it". No wonder people don't like sales people! Nope! A good sales person is not somebody who won't take "no" for an answer (that's a bad high pressure sales person, no matter how many sales they make). A good sales person is someone who loves selling so much, that s/he can charm anyone into saying "I'm not interested, but maybe you might get me interested, you got one minute." And then winds up making the sale, or at least getting a "maybe" after s/he gives out s/his business card to the prospect, after one minute is up.
Marshall Curtis exactly. People are saying not interested BEFORE they know what they are not interested in. I ask them just what are they not interested in? You’ve not heard anything yet. I’m not a salesperson but at least listen to what they have to say. People just don’t want to tell the salesperson no.
Great episode. As a retired 20 year NYPD vet- from my viewpoint this is the best episode. The wife is keeping his memory alive by contributing to , being involved in ,and helping the department he gave his life serving.

Remind me of that song I think it’s cat Stevens father and son
Yep, it seemed very sad when the kid was reduced to saying " ...I don't suppose you want to play ball with me, pa?"

In the first few seconds of the action, the perp's car almost runs over a dog; when he jumps out of his car it keeps rolling and hits the gate.
It only adds to the realism. He was a desperado, wasn't he?

“Landline call” I thought that was a recent term ( late 90’s) to describe calls not made from a cell phone.
Land line to police and fire is a normal phone. Otherwise it radio.
You can't beat Dan Mathews, . . He knows what you're thinking . . . " Tell him I got the message "
They keep changing William Boyett's screen name - this time it was stan.
At 17:09, Ed says "When a person says 'no', I accept it. If I were a salesman and really cared about my work, I wouldn't accept it". No wonder people don't like sales people! Nope! A good sales person is not somebody who won't take "no" for an answer (that's a bad high pressure sales person, no matter how many sales they make). A good sales person is someone who loves selling so much, that s/he can charm anyone into saying "I'm not interested, but maybe you might get me interested, you got one minute." And then winds up making the sale, or at least getting a "maybe" after s/he gives out s/his business card to the prospect, after one minute is up.

Marshall Curtis exactly. People are saying not interested BEFORE they know what they are not interested in. I ask them just what are they not interested in? You’ve not heard anything yet. I’m not a salesperson but at least listen to what they have to say. People just don’t want to tell the salesperson no.
