For me this series is timeless other than the era of the vehicles. The story lines are great and the actors are fun to watch. Very relaxing for me.

Finally the 3rd Season with 24 Episodes is out after all those years waiting.Picture-Format: 1,33:1 / 4:3 (appears correct on 16:9 TV's with black bars left and right side)Picture-Quality: goodSound: monoSubtitles: EnglishCHIPS, the 3rd Season is again full of fun and thrilling moments on the California Highway (Los Angeles Area).Jon and Ponch again hunting on their motorbikes bad guys and helping people.As a new Officer is starring now Michael Dorn who might be famous for his role as Worf in the Star Trek Franchise TNG.Guest Actors: Jim Brown ("The dirty Dozen", "Rio Concho"), Aldo Ray ("We're No Angels"), Billy Barty, Andrew Duggan, Bruce Glover (James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever), Robert Dowdell (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea), Ponchs Mother played by Anna Navarro was in "Topaz", Rosemary Forsyth, Warren Berlinger, Edd Byrnes (77 Street).Episode 2 "Roller Disco - Part 2" contains some great names who did a cameo for the "Benefit"-Storyline: George A-TEAM Peppard, Adam BATMAN West, Ruth Buzzi, Melissa LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE Anderson and any more.Trivia:- in the Episode "Hot Wheels" can be seen a Fire-Truck with the Number 51. Its the same truck used in the serie "Emergency".- Episode 12 "Destruction Derby" is Billy Green Bush guest starring. He is the father of the famous Twin-Sisters Sydney and Lindsay Greenbush (!) who played Carrie Ingals in the longtime running "Little House on the Prairie"FAZIT: old-fashioned? Possible. But its entertaining with a good portion of humor.

I am pleased it finally came out. I think the show is terriffic! 2 motorcycle cops out there who actually know how to make a difference. The show has taught me to respect any motorcycle cop on the highway. John & Frank handle stuff big & small. Some of the accidents I've seen are the kind where electricity poles get knocked over, or broken in half. & In one episode they try to keep a car from going over a 600 ft cliff, while the third officer tries to get a mother & 2 kids out of the car. Its not long before it goes over. & they always deal with roadragers on the freeways. They always give kids advice, confidence for example. Stuff like that. As well as helping folks who fight on freeways sort out they're differences. What we see in this season 2 groups whites & Hispanics fighting on the road & at the beach. I would have never guessed they'd be getting along at the end of the show. That's what IM talking about. Frank & John I got to give them 2 thumbs up!Anyways I am enjoying the show. & Im looking forward to seeing season 4 come out. & I'll wait as long as I have to! People? Don't ask me how desperate I am! When I get all the seasons, whew! Won't I be relieved!! Its funny? I watched the other show In the Heat of the night with Carroll O Connor. All seasons came out in such a short amount of time One after the other. Why can't they do the same with Chips? It doesn't make any sense!!Don't worry I won't go on & on about it! As long as Warner Bros understands where Im coming from. We all have do only one thing, Hold our breath & keep our fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely a show worth watching, & I'm just as eager as the rest of you guys out there to receive the rest of the seasons! Erik Estrada? Tell them to hurry up with the 3 remaining seasons! Your about the only one who can convince them! We're all very impatient!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As my title says, Finally. Its been a long time coming for Season 3, and it will not disappoint. I may not have watched the entire disc set as of yet, but CHiPs is like a police action lover's paradise. The intense, multi-car/truck crashes on the freeways around Los Angeles, the crazy antics of Ponch who along with John, Sgt. Getraer and the rest of the supporting cast that made CHiPs a household name back in the 70's and early 80's. I remember long ago, well 2005 and 2006, when Seasons 1 and 2 we're released and it brought me back to my childhood watching the show with my dad every week. So, I figured along with all the other fans that Season 3 would follow suit and be released in 2007, but none of us got our CHiPs 'fix' for another 9 years, after which most other TV DVD sets we're being released regularly.Great show, keeps you riveted, especially since I recall very little of the individual episodes, except that it had motorcycles, spectacular car crashes, and the caring, but tough Seargeant. Let's hope it doesn't take another 9 years for Season 4 to be released. If that trend continues, I'll be an old man when the final season comes out.
