CHiPs

(1977-1983)

Crime Drama

Cast: Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox and Robert Pine

CHiPs was a television crime drama series that aired on NBC from September 15, 1977 to June 17, 1983. CHiPs followed the lives of two motorcycle police officers of the Los Angeles Central Division of the California Highway Patrol, starring Erik Estrada as macho Officer Francis 'Frank' "Ponch" Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as his straight-laced partner, Officer Jonathan "Jon" Baker. Ponch was the more trouble-prone of the pair, and Jon generally the more level-headed one trying to keep him out of trouble with the duo's gruff yet fatherly commanding officer, Sergeant Joseph Getraer (Robert Pine). 

The series ran for 139 episodes over six seasons.
