I watched long enough to hear the announcer say "You can boogie with Joann Worley" before turning it off. As a side note, my family used to watch CHiPS every Sunday night while we ate homemade pizza. We'd always watch for whatever we called the "weekly pile up" - there was always a scene where there was a major multicar accident. It's a good memory.

This reminds me of the time I got so mad because I broke my arm the afternoon before the Dukes of Hazzard Demolition Derby special episode, and they had to put me under to set my arm, so I missed it.

Love CHiPs. It always makes me smile that's Chris Pine's dad.

For some reason my brain tells me that was the one co-starring Lief Garrett.

I also remember an episode with a long square-dancing scene.

You know what I sort of miss? Just turning on the TV and letting it run... We had between 6 and 12 channels and on a that night we would just turn it on at 6 and then off at 10. Watching TV now involves making a decision on what specifically you want to watch. I know you can put Netflix on shuffle but knowing I have a choice, I'll click around until I find a show. I guess it's just nostalgia (because we sat through some truly shitty TV back then) but I want less options.

I actually love turning off the TV. Without the constant background noise, we have actually excuses to hang out, talk, maybe play a game.

yeah times were so simple back them. And I remember watching Tom Baker Dr Who Episodes and Dark Shadows reruns on some Public access station

I love that the Unknown Comic skated by in the background at around 2:55.

I'm still binge watching CHiPs. Classic. It's so watchable.

70's TV had a magical secret ingredient: cocaine

So that explains why we got a show called Super Train!!

I watched both episodes this morning. I didn't think a single woman was wearing a bra. Giggity.
