- Chips TV series goofs, facts, car and motorcycle stunts, and guest stars featuring funny mistakes and interesting goofs that made into the final cut along with fun facts of Chips, and a look back at the awesome classic TV guest stars that made appearances on this classic television series. Chips starred Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine for the majority of the series. One of the stars, Michael Dorn would go on to be a major star on Star Trek the Next Generation and Chris Pine, Captain Kirk himself would manage to get onto Chips before he was even born.
In this video I take a look at not just mistakes made, but how those amazing car and motorcycle stunts were done by tiny revealing goofs that made their way into the scenes.
The show featured almost as many guest stars as The Love Boat and Fantasy Island except usually the guest star was either getting arrested or at least getting a ticket, but Chips also featured a couple of giant celebrity charity shows with lots of stars from that time period.
Relive the 70's and early 80's with Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello aka Ponch.

When I was a kid my family traveled to San Diego for a family reunion, after the reunion was over my immediate family drove up to LA for a few days. As my dad drove on one of the freeways I happened to glance out my window and saw the spot they used for the CHP building in the show, it was one of many highlights of the trip for me. That, and seeing Miramar NAS where Top Gun was held.
Awesome!
I hope you all have fun reliving the 70's and 80's with the Chips TV series. This show had almost as many guests as The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Some of the goofs were pretty noticeable, but it is definitely worth watching again. They used real cars for their stunts not toy models and, of course, there wasn't any CGI back then.
Thank you, TVCrazyman! I most certainly will have a blast kicking back in my cowboy boots and watching the various goofs and errors you uncovered while rewatching the long-running crime drama! Happy New Year and keep up the good work, bro!
l love how in the thumbnail you have Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf) looking at Chris Pine (Cpt. Kirk) and the son of none other than Robert Pine (Sgt. Getraer), Turner's boss on CHiPs. That's nuts 😄
9:35 Yes, it’s called a *Backdoor Pilot.* Any time they have an episode featuring a completely different cast for the A story it’s just a test run for a spin-off.
Yeah, they used to do that a lot back then. They probably would have done better by having the actual stars of the show play a bigger role in those kinds of episodes.
One of my favorite shows crazy stunts in the show love them
I enjoy these videos, good fun! Dwight Schultz played Reginald Barclay in Star Trek TNG too, btw.
Right, I meant to mention that. Maybe some other time I'll do a video with all the Chips Star Trek connections. See how many I can list.
The star trek facts were the most interesting to me. I did not release that Worf was on CHips. Another fine job spotting everything. Happy New Year to you Tvcrazyman.
On top of that, Andrew "Garak" Robinson filled in for Erik Estrada when he was injured, and was even seen shaking hands with Michael Dorn, years before they would work together on DS9.
Thanks
Best show ever
Awesome guest star list.
As for the contract disputes, " tell it to the judge! "
Thanks!!!
Thanks tvcrazyman. Brought back a lot of old memories. I loved CHiPs and watched it all the time both when it was in season and the many years in reruns. It was a great show similar to Emergancy (hint clue for possible episode maybe:) another great tv show back then.
I used to watch Emergency too a lot back when I was a kid.
Super great video. Chips was my favorite show of all time. Hopefully you can find more goofs.
Thank You 🎉
Great stuff. At the 7:40 mark of this video , I don’t think they used a dummy for the stunt, it appears the stuntman actually slammed the back of his helmet/head on the pavement so hard that it knocked him out! Kind of like when a fighter gets knocked out, the arms go stiff, which is what looks like happened!! Nice job on this video!!!
Thanks
That’s what I thought as well. I’m not 100% sure whether it’s a dummy or a knocked out stunt man but either could apply.
NBC aired reruns of ChiPs weekdays at 3PM EST between April 26, 1982, and September 10, 1982. The same year during the original run of the series, syndicated reruns of older episodes of ChiPs was retitled CHiPs Patrol in local stations to avoid confusion with the episodes already airing on NBC during that same time. Later syndicated reruns after the show went out of production reverted to the original title. The show aired on TBS from 1988 to 2004, TNT from 1992 to 2002, on MeTV from December 19, 2013, to May 26, 2017. The show currently airs on Charge!.
Thanks for the info.
1:20 Looks like he stole the Brady mobile; Bill Boyett was in "Emergency" too; HR Pufnstuf baby!
Back with more brilliant goofs as always bud 😀
Thanks again!
That was fantastic. Good observations and trivia.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoy you showing “goofs” because you’re giving insight on how stunts were done! It’s definitely harder to catch that than know that CGI was used. Another thing that bugs me is seeing CGI gun flash in gun fire. It just doesn’t look right compared to firing actual blanks.
That's true. I also hate it when they show CGI sparkles off of cars that are hit with bullets and there's no bullet holes or dents or anything to show for it.
@@tvcrazyman ain’t it the truth! not to mention all of these stuntmen and pyrotechnics were put out of work, who did wonderful effects! CG can be a great tool, but those effects make these high budget films look cheap! It looks lazy….

Could this be Ponch's guardian angel??😇
10:52 If ever a character needed a toxicology exam it would be H.R. Puff’n Stuff. (Oh but you can’t test for Hallucinogens…) 11:33 Dwight is Star Trek Royalty!
1:30 I see the exact same dark car with a door under it.
Would love to see bloopers from Hunter and DeeDee...
Works for me, but I wonder if Hunter made any goofs?😀
Robert Englund (Freddy Kruger) appeared on the episode "Forty Tons Of Trouble".
Say really great video Rick great job
Very entertaining!
Thank you very much!
Even with all the goofs it was fun to watch, glad they didn't have CGI, can't watch a movie with CGI.
Works for me
Looks like to me the car was there just the lighting made it brighter looking and the door is laying beside it. The truck shows up but could have been the angle
And I totally agree about CGI why I don't like most newer movies Looks like you are watching a video game
Thanks, maybe they'll go back to more traditional special effects some day. I hate the video game look too.
if you look at the blue car parked the other side of the truck, you can clearly see the door under the back
Another fun fact: The Squad 51 vehicle from Emergency made a couple of appearances on CHiPs.
I think Clarence Gilyard was in Designing Women and Matlock as well Walker: Texas Ranger.
Meshach Taylor was in Designing Women not Clarence Gilyard.
OMG this was so weird i was going to ask you about doing goofs for chips. Here in the UK it was very hard to get the dvds so i only have season 1 and 2, loved watching this as a kid. Just about every episode you can see camera crew reflected in the shades, in the episode mait team which was about a huge car pile up all the stunt drivers were wearing very colourful crash helmets i thought that was strange at the time and it was very obvious that when ponch or jon took a tumble it was a stunt man. Thank you so much i love chips
Glad you liked it! 😀
1:53 - It's Mel Cooley not Mel Tooley (lol) ! 😎 Still, a very good production - thanks for posting !
Appreciate it.
At the 4:58 mark the speedometer shows 0 mph.
❤ it
Sonny Bono😊
Some more CHiPs trivia:
Bruce Jenner filled in for Erik Estrada for several episodes during the fifth season since Erik was in a contract dispute.
Besides Michael Dorn, Randi Oakes, Brodie Greer, and Larry Wilcox did not return for the sixth season.
In spite of always carrying their revolvers, neither Ponch nor John ever drew they guns on a suspect during the entire run of the show.
I think they didn't want to pull out the guns because so many kids watched the show. I know I heard that somewhere. I think from one of the Chips actors on a interview somewhere.
Erik and Larry both subsequently drew their service revolvers many years later when the two actors reunited for a quick but memorable cameo in the criminally underrated action comedy "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1"!
And Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner did indeed replace Erik early in season five due to Erik's salary dispute with MGM Television; it's unfortunate Jenner didn't become Erik's full-time partner at the start of the sixth (and, sadly, final) season following Wilcox's acrimonious departure from the sputtering series.
I’m loving your content but at 1:33 you can see the dark car with the knocked off door beneath it. It’s on the left between a camper and the truck that just pulled in. In the shot where it was knocked off the shot was foreshortened and so looked closer than it actually was.
Thanks, the color of the car threw me off just a bit due to the angle of the sun. I guess, you can't win them all.😀
@@tvcrazyman I wouldn’t worry. You win 99% of them and that fact about Chris Pine being in an episode was quite brilliant! 👏👏👏
Thanks, I appreciate it.@@SevenDaysToNoon
❤
You showed Larry Storch, but ignored Sonny Bono right next to him.
Thanks for the videos. I do see the same dark colored car at the 1:30 mark between the pickup that just pulled in and the parked blue van with the white top. Is that the door knocked off of the station wagon sitting on the ground slightly behind the dark blue car?
Yeah, I goofed on this one mostly because the car appeared much lighter in that shot. I misjudged the distance and the truck suddenly pulled in. In the very first shot though, it does look like there's not other cars around, but they might just be out of the frame.
better look again, there's a dark car with the door laying on the ground beside it
Now that you mention it. I do see what looks to be a door. I guess the direction of the sunlight must have made the car look a lot darker from the front shot.
I enjoy you narrating your videos, so please take this as only a correction. The angle of the camera shot when the van takes the door off the station wagon is further away than it might seem from the scene you stated. When you look at the next shot of the same scene. You can still see the dark blue care on the left side of the light blue truck. On the ground near the rear bumper of the dark blue vehicle, you can see the door on the ground where it originally landed. Given that you only can see just the back end of the dark blue car when the door flies off in that direction, it's difficult to determine how far away it actually is. I do think that light blue truck was obviously parked there later.
Appreciate your opinions on the matter. Finding goofs is a little like being a detective looking at all the clues and angles. 😀
I'm going with dummies..
Did you in 1980s movie the Incredible Hulk returns the one that has Thor? He was supposed to have a tv series but it never happened.
I think I heard that. That would have been a fun show to watch.
No dark colored car? You can't see the blue car with the door just behind the car at 1:31 ? Not just a dent, but the tail light is askew and the chrome trim on that side is suddenly missing at 4:12. Also had a full roll cage in the truck at 5:57.
you showed him, but you missed Sony Bono.
The stunt man riding the bike was not a dummy, If you look at back of his head hitting the pavement he was nock out, and you can tell because his arms raise and he turns stiff. Look at MMA fighters when they get knocked out they have the same reaction.
Interesting.
Ughh! As someone that likes to spot and take pics of cars I grew up with it makes me cringe when I see them smash up so many great 60s cars! I get why they did it to save money in a practical sense, but still!
"Force Seven" was undoubtedly the worst episode of "CHiPs," bar none! I actually watched that horrible episode on Plex this past weekend! Unsurprisingly, it was not the first but the second attempt at a proposed spinoff series that thankfully never materialized (the equally mediocre "Mitchell & Woods," which also aired in the fifth season, was the first)! Oddly enough, had "Force Seven" actually transitioned into a weekly ongoing series, Fred Dryer probably wouldn't have been available for his later--and far more successful--series "Hunter" (interestingly enough, Dryer was also strongly considered for the role of former Boston Red Sox relief pitcher and recovering alcoholic Sam Malone--a role that would eventually go to, of course, Ted Danson--on the long-running, Emmy Award-winning sitcom "Cheers")!
Coincidentally, Tom Reilly, who had a guest-starring role in the aforementioned "Force Seven" as Officer Rick Nichols, would replace Larry Wilcox at the start of "CHiPs'" sixth and (sadly) final season as California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer Bobby "Hot Dog" Nelson (here's another coincidence, folks--"Force Seven" also marked Wilcox's final appearance as CHP motorcycle officer Jon Baker until his hilarious cameo alongside his former "CHiPs" co-star Erik "Ponch" Estrada in the criminally underrated action comedy "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1" eleven years later)!
All in all, this was another highly entertaining video! Thanks for sharing, TVCrazyman! Keep up the good work and Happy New Year, bro!
Thanks. I'm glad Dryer went on to star in Hunter. That was one of my shows to watch back in the day.
You're very welcome, @@tvcrazyman ! I used to watch "Hunter" way back in the day, too! Dryer's on-camera chemistry with his beautiful co-star, Stepfanie Kramer (who played Dee Dee McCall), was an important factor in its success! Have a happy Hump Day!
The Force 7 episode was awful
