My thoughts on Return Of The Turks:

I didn't really care for this episode about two men who decide to drive like maniacs because they are going through a mid-life crisis. The only thing that saved it for me was when Ponch and Jon rescued the girl in the iron lung. Ponch's rendition of Rumpelstiltskin in the ambulance was adorable and I loved when the girl kissed the guys on the cheeks in the end. Is it me or did the ambulance drive seem totally unconcerned about the girl?

The part about the man issuing traffic tickets in Ponch's name similar to "No More Pickpockets," a season one episode of Car 54, Where are You?
Why can't I find someone to take over my job voluntarily?

Yeah I didn't think it was that great of an ep either. That man was pretty much an a$$!!! I mean a mid life crisis is one thing, but hey if you kill somebody by causing accidents on a freeway, you are looking at life in prison or he could have gotten killed himself! Didn't seem like a bright thing to do just out of boredom!!

Ponch is so good with kids. I love when they feature children in the eps. Jon is too! He was so sweet to that girl. The Rumplestiltskin story and telling her she looked more like she was going to turn 15 rather than 13 on her B'day!! Nothing more flattering when you are a tween, to have somebody say you look older, esp a hot older guy!

Remember that ep where the baby was left behind at the truck stop, and Ponch just fell in love with the baby!

He wanted to hold her all the time. And he was a natural, he was adorable with that baby! And he even convinced CPS to let his neighbor who loved kids and had a lot of kids already to keep her! And he even babysat and brought her a teddy bear!!! Things like that make me really love Ponch!!!

Nothing better than a guy that is handsome and hot but still very down to earth and a sweetheart! From what I am reading on the internet that is pretty much Erik Estrada's real personality. He has the kindest, sweetest brown eyes, and such a friendly smile!

Another saving grace on tonights ep was Ponch looking hot playing pool!!

Bonniegirl · 10-14-2014, 12:33 AM

Oh look what I found!!!! How adorable holding Chihuahua puppies!!!!

If you look closely he is barefoot!!!!!

He should come on here and add to the wearing shoes in the house thread!!! LOL!!!!

Wasn't he a father too? ( I should record these episodes instead of relying on my awesome memory. ) You would think that would have made him more sensitive to highway fatatalies. I feel like this was a plot more suitable for a darker show, like the original Hawaii Five-O.

So far, I feel like Jon isn't given as many opportunities to do charming stuff like Ponch. He was cute trying to speak French in "The Sheik," but the girls made fun of him at the same time. He ended up with the girl anyway, so it all worked out.

I've been thinking about that girl. It seems kind of odd for a young, American girl to be in an iron lung in the late 70s. I assumed she had polio which would have been seen more in the 40s and 50s. I guess they needed something to add to the drama of having a pile of pipes on top of her.

Bonniegirl · 10-14-2014, 10:40 AM

It was the bigger lighter haired guy who was the father. (At least he came to his senses, and grabbed the key out of the ignition) .

They didn't ever mention if the other guy was a father or not.

I have NO idea why the girl was in an iron lung??? But yeah I guess to make the show more dramatic!

I love Ponch with all my heart, so I'm not complaining, but it sometimes does seem unfair to Jon! It does seem like the cute and cool stuff revolves around him more than Jon. There of course being a personality clash in real life. Larry was more a no nonsense more serious personality and Erik has a really big , bubbly personality.

Larry was hired first and he was supposed to be the star, and Erik was hired as the second billing, the sidekick. But it turned out Erik got more fan mail. And I guess the writers went to where the money is, and it ending up being more about Ponch than Jon.

And Ponch is so funny and expressive, when they encounter the pretty girls he is all grinning and pretty much letting his feelings show ,

where as Jon even stays reserved than!!! One ep recently that Jon got the attention, his neighbor's teenage daughter had a big crush on him. Even went to his apartment in the middle of the night, and than had a table set for them to have a romantic dinner and everything. Jon, of course didn't take advantage or lead the young girl on, but she had a romantic image of him. But my point being it was Jon they picked for the girls crush and not Ponch!

Bonniegirl · 10-14-2014, 10:50 PM

An ep that Jon gets the girl is coming to mind, it was either last week or two weeks ago, She was a pretty blonde divorced lady with a little boy. ( The little boy was really into motor cycles) When Jon and Ponch met her, Ponch right away pretty much said to Jon, go for her, she is your type.

Jon asked her out to a picnic and Ponch babysat the kid at the picnic. Well Jon got the girl, but still it showed Ponch's charm by being so good with the kid!

Bonniegirl · 10-15-2014, 11:43 PM

I liked the Rodeo ep tonight. I was wishing Ponch would have ridden a horse though!!! This ep really featured Jon and his rancher/rodeo skills it was cool.

But still I wanted to see my Ponch on a horse. Maybe Erik declined, he grew up in Spanish Harlem,NY city wasn't to used to rodeo's and horseback riding!! LOL!!! He would have been adorable though!

GidgetGrape where are you???

I'm posting by myself!!!!! LOL And surely there must be other girls and guys who liked Chips and should be posting here too !!!

I'm behind in my tv watching! I'll post later today.

Today's episode was really good with the whole car theft auto ring and we got an earlier look at Randi Oaks who plays a different character here but we Chips fans know she goes on later in the series to play officer Bonnie Clarke (kind of weird how guest stars would come back as a different character).

gidgetgrape · 10-17-2014, 01:25 AM

I loved Down Time too! It's my favorite episode of CHiPs so far. I liked how suspenseful it was and that the entire force got in on the action. Don't you love how even after losing his $83 dollar Firebird, Ponch still finds the strength to smile?

Did anyone else notice MeTV censored this episode? When the women came of the water, the woman with the blonde hair's bikini top was blurred out. I didn't know MeTV edited for content.

I didn't know that about Randi Oaks. I've only been watching the show since last week. I hope MeTV shows more of the seasons, but I read on Imdb.com, that they only played the first 2 seasons during its first rotation on the channel.

I loved this ep! Ponch did keep a good attitude, esp. being that his car got stolen right when he was ready to go on a trip! Poor baby and breaking his pinky finger. I wanted to kiss it and make it better!

It was so sweet of him too, that even after he found out that Kim was in on the theft ring, he still was compassionate when she said her father had died. (naïve but compassionate).

And what a dedicated worker he is. My gosh, when he was told he had 5 days off vacation coming to him , he was hesitant to take it. WOW if I was told that I'd be jumping up and down!

Oh no!!! I hope it doesn't just go for 2 seasons on METV. I want to see it all in it's entirety ! Do you think they will start over on season 1 or just cancel it? Oh no!!! That would mean it is almost over. I hope they don't change the programing for winter and pull it!

I will purchase the DVD's than, but still METV shouldn't take it off so soon! I hope not!
