Among CHiPs cognoscenti, the episodes are legendary.

I mean, you've got Leif Garrett. You've got roller skates. You've got disco. What else do you need? Oh, yeah, bad guys making their getaways on roller skates.

Wed Aug 26, 2020: CHiPs "Roller Disco" - The most Seventies scene in 1970s TV

MeTV runs a few episodes of CHiPs every afternoon, it seems. In fact, it's on in a few minutes.

A few days ago, they ran a two-parter, the first two episodes of the third season.

There was a tall blond kid who showed up at 1:04 and again at 1:27. He looked familiar, but I just couldn't place him. I looked up the episode at IMDB. The boy was Philip McKeon. He died in December.
