Review of CHiPs

CHiPs (1977–1983)
Cheesy fun
21 September 2008
I happened to be born the same year this show came out. Everything that typified 70s TV shows was there. The big hairdos, the stilted dialogue, the bizarre music, and the thin plot-lines. The acting was second rate. Basically the show is a fictionalized account of two patrolman, Frank and Jon. Much of the situations are pretty repetitive and ridiculous. Either they are chasing down bad guys or are responding to calls of stranded motorist. There are a lot of intentionally and unintentionally funny scenes. I remember seeing an episode in which the the two officers pull over a large guy driving a tiny Honda for speeding. After being pulled over, the guy starts sabotaging his car in anger by tearing off the seats, hood, doors, steering wheel, and wheels! Overall the show is nostalgic fun.
