CHiPs returned with even more spectacular car crashes and more cute girls for Ponch (Erik Estrada) to charm. The series really hit its stride in this second season (aired in 1978 and '79), balancing nerve-tingling stunts with human drama and whimsical escapades. On the high-tension side, you have a school bus that careens out of control and Jon (Larry Wilcox) has to jump on the roof to rescue the kids inside; trucks jackknife across the highway, causing multiple pileups; an ambulance overturns, trapping a girl in an iron lung; an investigation of dirt-bike vandals leads to angel dust dealers. Then, to lighten things up, Ponch gets a boa constrictor wrapped around his leg and has to help out a team of stranded cheerleaders. But more than anything, this second season was a showcase for Estrada's easy, perfect-for-television charisma. Not only was he handsome and cocky, he could be surprisingly gentle and compassionate, as when he rescued a suicidal woman about to lose her home. Wilcox, even at his best, never seemed fully comfortable in his role, but Estrada radiated the kind of relaxed pleasure that invites the audience's adoration. There were certainly silly moments (the Supercycle! A tiger in a deli mart! Ponch and Jon help a woman give birth in a disco!) and the increase in cars bursting into flame stretches credulity, but most of CHiPs stays reasonably down-to-earth and is all the more enjoyable for it. In fact, the low-key cinematography, without a lot of frantic editing, often makes the car crashes all the more vivid and jolting. This season also introduced more supporting characters, including the first significant female officer on the show, Sindy Cahill (played by the charming Brianne Leary). The boxed set features only one extra, a promotional featurette about the real California Highway Patrol, who love the show about as much as the show loves them--though the real cops' hair is decidedly less fluffy. --Bret Fetzer

Watching the old TV shows that I grew up with brings back alot of memories of growing up. That is why watching them is so much fun. Not only are they clean, wholesome shows, but it takes you back to those days growing up, laying on the floor in front of the TV watching the shows as a kid. Shows like this influence our lives more than we know too. Watching Adam 12 and CHiPs influenced me to get into law enforcement, and I am now a motor officer with our department, and it goes back to these shows ... Read More

Great to have finally the second season! Can anyone tell me if this box by amazon has portuguese audio too? Thanks! Hopefully we don't need to wait too long for the other seasons. And I'm crossing the fingers that they will have the portuguese audio available ;-)

Now that I have both Season 1 and 2 of CHiPs on DVD, I find myself re-watching the second season more frequently. I love Season 1, but the plots and music in Season 2 are even better. Ponch was just a novice in Season 1, but his character has matured a lot by Season 2. The supporting characters are also stronger this season. Finally, I really enjoy the many important messages embedded in this series, particularly those aimed at kids and youth (e.g. Family Crisis, Disaster Squad, Neighborhood Watch, ... Read More

This season was great, better than season 1. My husband and I watch the whole season till it's done and then we get online to see how soon we can order the next season. Watching these old episodes of Chips takes us back to our childhood when we watched all of these for the first time. Good buy for any Chips fan.

I have to say that the amazon product review sums it up perfectly. This is a great retro gift to yourself or a friend. You feel good watching chips, even if you never saw it the first time. The same zanny antics from season one continue, with the blend of action and comedy going at 70 mph. Estrada's little special feature, where he interviews actual Chippies, is cute and shows how much he was influenced by the show. An odd episode, which I chalk up to being made in the 70s in a more innocent time, is where ... Read More
