5.0 out of 5 stars CHiPs is the best, December 16, 2011

This review is from: CHiPs Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
We just started watching this on Amazon Instant Videos through our Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Blu-ray Player we also purchased from Amazon. I watched CHiPs as a child in the 1970s, and it's still good today. It's fun to see the old cars that were on the road at that time and to hear dialogue without "like" throughout.

You can watch CHiPs and not be concerned with any vulgarity. It's family-friendly and not tainted with modern political ideology.

Ponch and John are strapping and handsome men who can whistle at a pretty woman who will take it as a compliment. There's no obsession with environmental concerns when a truck carrying glue overturns (their prime concern is safety of the motorists). I miss the 20th century, and CHiPs is a good escape to a better time. My sons love to watch it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Start, February 17, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CHiPs Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I enjoyed this first episode. I thought that the plot was easy to follow. If I were to add anything to this episode, I would have made Ponch meaner and Larry Wilcox's character less goody two shoes.
