CHiPS is an American action-comedy television series that aired on NBC from 1977 to 1983. The show starred Larry Wilcox as Officer Jon Baker and Erik Estrada as Officer Frank "Ponch" Poncherello, two motorcycle police officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and their daily adventures on the highways of Los Angeles.

The series was known for its blend of action, comedy, and drama. The show featured a lot of motorcycle stunts and action sequences, which became its trademark. The series also explored the personal lives of the characters and their relationships with each other.

Aside from Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada, the show starred Robert Pine as Sergeant Joseph Getraer, the tough but fair boss of the CHP. Brianne Leary played Officer Sindy Cahill, one of the first female motorcycle officers on the CHP. Lou Wagner played Harlan Arliss, the CHP mechanic who kept the motorcycles in top condition. Paul Linke played Officer Arthur "Grossie" Grossman, another member of the CHP. Bruce Penhall joined the cast in the fifth season as Officer Bruce Nelson.

The show also had several notable guest stars, including Heather O'Rourke, who played a kidnapped child in one of the episodes. Michael Dorn, who later gained fame as Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation, played a motorcycle officer in several episodes.

One of the unique aspects of the show was its focus on motorcycle safety. Many episodes of the series featured safety tips and messages, such as the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. This message was reinforced by the fact that the main characters were all motorcycle officers and were always seen wearing helmets while on duty.

The show was a hit with audiences and ran for six seasons. It spawned a spin-off series, CHiPs '99 in 1998, and a feature film adaptation in 2017.

CHiPs was a classic television series that blended action, comedy, and drama. Its focus on motorcycle safety and the adventures of the motorcycle police officers of the California Highway Patrol made it a hit with viewers for many years.

CHiPS is a series that ran for 6 seasons (139 episodes) between September 15, 1977 and on NBC
