Jon Baker and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons.
The California Highway Patrol became internationally famous in the 1970s thanks to CHiPs, an NBC TV series following the adventures of two patrolmen, played by Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox.
The old CHiPs was fun for the whole family; the new CHIPS is definitely not, unless your whole family is a bunch of disreputable vulgarians.
CHIPS (not spelled CHiPs like the old show, which had slightly less talk about unusual sexual activities) opens in theaters on March 24.
