| I just heard that Larry Wilcox is being sentenced in Florida for securities fraud which is a bit of a shocker. HFO just had an episode with Steve and Dano watching CHiPs on tv and they were arguing about who they wanted to be Ponch or John (I'm thinking it is back to Ponch).

| Larry Wilcox got lucky, just three years probation, after he admitted he knew about the scam the whole time. I mean, I'm glad he admitted he was wrong and did a very bad thing, but my crush dwindled a little.

| I loved CHiPs when I was a kid! I remember building the model of their motorcycle with my dad. I haven't seen it since its first run, but something makes me think it doesn't hold up these days. Anybody see it lately?

| I haven't seen CHiPs since the early nineties. I remember it being cheesy then but still fun to watch. I think TV Land, and networks of the such, need to do a better job of getting these older shows on air.

| I always joke with my motorcycle riding buddies that I can tell which ones watched CHIPS and which ones were influenced by Easy Rider. The CHIPS riders have the "baggers", in other words, they look like a police bike with all the bags, the windshield and fairings. The Easy Rider crowd likes the basic bike where you can actually see the rear wheel and handlebars!

| Larry Wilcox is a scumbag. He'd been accused years ago of domestic abuse.

Certainly a sure sign of a scumbag. But if a court didn't convict him, how can we?

What a fun series, CHiPs is definitely in my top 20 favorite shows.
I always loved the guest stars, one of my favorite guest star was Elvira.
When I was in High School and took the Drivers Ed class we did the simulator where you watch the 16mm films of some driving and had to copy what was happening on the screen. Those films always reminded me of CHiPs, I think it was because the film was shot in the late 70's and shot in the neighborhoods in Calf.
