The main point of this episode is Hogan and his men are hoping to switch live …

I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …

I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode PTV in a while so I was thrilled to come across it on television today.
