CHiPS, which stands for California Highway Patrols, first aired in the 1970s and became a massive ratings success, combining action, melodrama and comedy in the daily lives of two state motorcycle officers patrolling the freeway system in sun-drenched Los Angeles. Officer Jon Baker (played by Larry Wilcox) is the straight-laced, serious character while Frank "Ponch" Poncherello (played by cheesy yet loveable Erik Estrada) is the more free-wheeling member of the duo. Throughout the show's run, episodes ranged from the humorous (such as helping a stranded motorist) to the tragic (a multi-car pile-up with multiple deaths) to the downright bizarre (using a circus elephant to tow a broken-down truck!). Other aspects of Ponch and Jon's daily lives weave through the series, with the social activity of both officers (they're single) providing many lighter moments. And on occasion, Ponch and Jon are assisted by a female "Chippie", initially played by the beautiful Sindy Cahill. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
