My two sons are suddenly into watching CHiPs again. Remember CHiPs. Of course you do. That timeless TV show from the late seventies and early eighties. Two motorcycle cops on patrol on the highways of California. Yes that's the one.
Well yours truly is a fan. I mean I was a fan when it was on the TV. I was only a young lad then of course.
Some time ago it was showing again on one of those channels that plays endless re-runs of The Dukes of Hazzard or The A-Team. One saturday morning it was on and I paused briefly out of nostalgia and my little boys were hooked.
That led to me buying the DVD of season 1 which we all watched and loved. Then season 2 came out on DVD but by that time they had kind of moved on to Mario Kart and there I was all alone with my green-coloured box set.
Until this weekend that is. They just asked to watch it and have watched a fair few episodes over the weekend.
There is one that really stands out. The one where Jon and Ponch fall foul of a bunch of frat kids on their way back from mexico with a bag of the old fella.
It all ends rather bizarrely with the frat kids making a batch of hash brownies an trying to slip them into the Highway Patrol's cake sale. Needless to say Jon and Ponch save the day and the brownies end up on the ground unfit for consumption by the fine citizens of California.
Excellent.
