Wow…..the memories of watching Chips as a kid. Riding my bicycle around the local streets thinking it was a Kawasaki 1000 Thanks for this🇮🇪

[@Twobarpsi]

Same!

[@klass_1221]

Big fan of "Sgt. Getraer's" son Chris Pine. Chris Pine should star in a CHiPs remake. Just saying

[@FlyinZX10R]

I used to have this grip with a box on my bike grip. When you cranked it, it sounded like a motorcycle. That was my KZ1000 lol

[@FlyinZX10R]

@@klass_1221 Michael Dorn was on CHiPs.

[@joecrawford172]

The research, finding the locations-boots on the ground, the editing .. you deserve an award. Masterfully done!

[@SamIIs]

I met Erik Estrada in The City of Industry in 2002 at a the Malibu Speed Zone with a friend of mine, where he was doing an episode of a variety show about the location. After politely complimenting him on his acting career he spoke with me for about 15 minutes and he is as cool as his corrector on Chips very, very nice down to earth person. Talking to him was cool enough and I wasn't going to hassle him for an autograph, but then I remembered I worked at a maintenance shop back in the early 90's with two other guys and we all called each other Ponch to keep things equal. He thought that was funny and was more then gracious enough to sign 3 shirts to Ponch 1 through 3. There was some argument over who would get the Ponch #1 shirt so I kept it for myself. I guess we weren't equal after all.

George Lopez hates him

[@rawkusrex]

hey, man... you did the heavy lifting on that one. you deserve the #1

[@SamIIs]

@@rawkusrex No weight at all bro. Mr. Estrada is a really cool dude. 😎

[@SamIIs]

@@Jacob-nu4nd I didn't know that, I've never met Mr. Lopez in person.

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

Used to watch CHiPS at my Grandparents house. I remember thinking the intro to that show was so cool.

[@MaxPower12]

The content got me to your channel, but your humor keeps me coming back. Awesome work on these Kurt!

[@lesteralvarez903]

Kurt. I love your Chips episodes. I loved Chips and Emergency as a kid. I loved the Dude in a wig comment. Lmao... glad the vibe is rubbing off on your son. Thanks again Kurt. Another awesome video.

[@felipemanriquez5442]

I remember as a little kid in north Hollywood back in the mid 80s watching chips after school I went too kittridge elementary school in van nuys watching chips at noon on ktla channel 5 then I remember emergency coming on right after

[@BostonSmitty]

RIP J. Brennan Smith and Keith Coogan is actually one of the nicest celebrities to meet. A real genuine guy.

[@matthewpiper1421]

My number 1 favorite tv show when i was a kid. And at 47 it still is, ponch and john were my heros

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Happy 40th Anniversar chlp 🎉🥳🎂🎊 💖💖

[@joseyeastwood]

This was a typical Monday but thanks to Kurt it is going to end pretty well yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donaldduncan7095]

Like your comedy. 😅 Glad you included your Rad Truk .🚙 (Kurt spelled backwards)😜

[@crsitu]

Thanks for posting. Good to hear there will be more videos about Chips

[@ProCorona]

Thx a lot for your passion making another great chips location video !!!!! So cool and brings back lots of memories

[@80sGuy.]

11:25 Wow, it looks like the husband and wife bought a bigger boat as of 2023!

[@chk2711]

I love your sense of humor and really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos.

[@jperkins1009]

Absolutely LOVING these CHiPs locations. And nice job repping Jimmy'Z w/ the hat.

[@fredgutierrez1881]

Yes!...thanks Kurt 🤙

[@the80skid20]

CHiPs fact. In October 1981, two real-life California Highway Patrolmen were injured in the line of duty. The show's cast took time out to donate blood for the two officers. One survived. Thanks for a awesome video again. Sorry I been missing your love streams. Work seems to be busy more than usual. Okay take care.

[@veedubcrazy]

The ending was funny... Good Job!

[@BreakTime10101]

😂😂😂😂 Oh that ending was funny. But yeah, season 6 sucked without Larry Wilcox. And when CHiPs lost the use of the 210 freeway, I think around season 4 maybe, they had to resort to filming on side streets, which we all know that the CHP really doesn’t do unless they absolutely have to. Their primary function is freeways and highways. Great video, l looks forward to more of them.

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

Just a correction, the CHP also work on public roads in unincorporated and incorporated portions of any specific county. They get called to a roadway accident that could be 10 miles or more away from any freeway or highway in any county.

[@TrendzSportsCollection]

Very well done video.

[@SatoshiHODL]

Let’s freaking go Kurt!

[@larrybenson902]

Love these Chips location vids Curt!!! Please put your son in one again soon - the Punk one still makes me laugh so hard I cry!!!

[@nathangreer8219]

All these incredible 60's and 70's cars.... and the thieves steak a K-car.

[@neohermitist]

Thanks for all your hard work on this. It's great seeing the locations and for keeping it lighthearted.

[@stereoheaven11]

Awesome video awesome job thank you i didn't like this show too much when i was young for whatever reason but have rediscovered it and been watching all the episodes its a great show Thank you again i love you video! These truly were the golden years of television.

[@nhdenver7883]

So well done! Thanks for all the effort you put into doing these.

[@michaeljlink]

I remember my CHiPs lunchbox in elementary school.. Haha

[@adamh8876]

This is amazing.

[@RetroMax85]

Friggin hilarious as usual Kurt! I was literally belly laughing throughout! And then when you had John Wilcox “via satellite” 😂🤣…classic! Love your videos!

[@Gcar-Squad]

I just watched that episode about 2 weeks ago!

[@robbygaines3214]

CHiPs is 1 of my all time favorite shows. Love your location videos.

[@johnmaynard6785]

Glad I’ve found your channel, great work on “CHiPs” thank you !

[@EricBaroyMahinay]

This used to be my fave TV show in the 80s, and Erk Estrada was my fave. actor. Thanks for featuring this. Greetings from the Philippines (but I am currently based in Thailand)

[@chriscourson2824]

I love your videos!

[@THE_DOC_RAD]

You did a great job on this one! Hard to believe its been 4 decades since the show ended. As a kid growing up in the 80s, I watched many episodes of CHiPs in syndication. Also, I recognize and really dig those "pumpkin buckets" you have in your studio at the end of the video.

[@arthuridis]

CHiPs and Quincy on NBC both went off the air 40 years ago. I really enjoyed both these shows as a kid and in reruns years after.

[@jdtractorman7445]

9:22, my Mom had a Chrysler Lebaron just like that car, same color too. Thanks for posting these video clips. It's neat seeing how some things have changed and others not so much. CHiPS was a cool tv show, the motorcycles, the stunts and the theme song. It's insane that it has been forty years since it went off the air.

[@nikkipacheco6835]

That's so funny the face Kurt makes imitating "Carter" when he's driving that "CHP" mustang LoL

[@kevinkaatz883]

Cool ending bro, just like from the show

[@katosimon8603]

This geocache/ 80’s trivia channel is so much fun to watch. You rule dude.

[@Jbaz79]

Wow 1983 I was 4 years old when the last Chips episode was filmed.I watched Chips on TBS growing up.They don’t make shows like this anymore that’s for sure.

[@katosimon8603]

What great content. I’m from Ohio and I loved CHiPs because of all the California scenery and even at 10 years old knowing the show was ridiculous. Shout out Ponch rippin the snake run at some 70’s skatepark.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@davidmg4216]

Great ending to an awesome episode

[@wilson561]

These filming locations videos are great. And the ending was funny! Thanks for sharing, it brought back good memories.

[@kennethlang5480]

Chips was a Great Show and Wonderful Cast and Jon & Ponch were the Best.

[@albuquerqueturkey1567]

I like my chips 🍟 with salsa 😆 🤣 😂

[@chrissumner8172]

Your channel is amazing. The production is top notch. BTW, I love your " susuki slameri"

[@fulanito2442]

I give you props for going out and making this video. Also for the effort you put in thanks.

[@aringrags]

I'm 40. May 1, 1983 was last episode and also my bday. I grew up watching all the reruns in the 80s and early 90s after school. It was at 3pm I think. Followed by Charlie's Angels at 4. Great memories. Time flies.

[@MrTomengle]

How funny was this find. My Brother In Law was the Property Master on Chips. I used to go visit him on filming locations quite often. Thanks so much for this memory.

[@nosajdabeno]

Your “interview” with Larry Wilcox really made me lol! Fun video as usual. Whenever Chips comes up in conversation I like to point out that Sgt. Getraer is played by Robert Pine. His son was in an episode or two. I think the kids name is Chris, or something like that.

[@TheodoreRizzo]

Good job mate first time watching your content and I like it 2023 and I’m still watching tv shows from the 70’s and 80’s comparing how things were then than today I wasn’t a big fan of chips but sure was a big hit tv show. You can still watch on non cable tv. Every day crystal clear picture. Btw I was born in 75 so I can relate to this type of content on the tube

[@charlestonpinballarcade]

Great vid! I used to watch chips when I was a kid. Also, your Norm MacDonald voice is great!

[@markstrouse3101]

I miss CHIPS and sure glad this isn't your last CHIPS episode.

[@hottotty13]

Great interview with Larry. Happy Birthday btw. In all seriousness I did meet Larry Wilcox in Maryland at a BMX race where he was promoting his line of BMX bikes. Gave me a sticker. probably right around the time of the last episode.

[@kelly171a]

That was awesome and so is this channel, new subscriber here. Thank You!

[@bretthibbs6083]

this was hilarious I used to watch this show everyday when I was a little kid back in the late 70's early 80's and back then I think they did repeats of the show in the early mornings so if you missed it at night you could watch it in the morning. This show and the Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite 2 shows at that time and I also watched Popeye too. But I think I've watched almost every episode of Chips at least a few times.

[@piratelestrange]

Awesome video! So fun! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@michaelduszynski4128]

Nice show. Remember Estrada as the spokesman for California Pines....." I love California Pines !! "........

[@adammm1838]

While watching the show i pay attention to streets and stores to look up the area and compare it from then to now. I don't have to do that anymore. Thanks.. cool video

[@abcd-xr1fh]

i really love these. please keep them coming, more frequently if possible. i find wathcing your videos brings some weird feeling...nostalgia?? i am not sure...im from Ireland. but i love seeing places from years ago revisited

[@spookymorales]

OMG the mannequin, the wig, the u turn in the Samarai!!! I was crying! Hilarious man! 👻🔥

[@davidgleason3379]

That is something on how many of the houses they just tear down and replace. Nothing stays the same up there. Thank you for showing these sites there is just something interesting see from them to now

[@hotrod1984s10]

Awesome!!

[@ToxicSpork]

12:30 I love that there is a left turn lane, but a sign that says you can't make a left turn. Never change, L.A.

[@ashcee3364]

Anyone notice that one of the kids is named Johnny Larusso and then a year later The Karate Kid comes out in theaters with 2 guys named Johnny and Daniel Larusso? The Karate Kid was also filmed at the same Golf/Waterpark that was used in an episode of CHIPs.

[@vibeofthee80s_]

Another awesome video :-) please keep doing more chips locations 5/1/23

[@andrewcrenshaw2459]

Dang. Nice looking car thieves

[@tomthomas2646]

Wow. My other comment disappeared... The main thing is HUGE THANKS for doing this... And WOW. Bad News Bears TV series...and love impersonation of goofy cop in mustang.......

[@thebluelunarmonkey]

FELTON! 14:13 I used to live in a house on this road, 2 blocks from artesia. Cool house with a deck on top of the garage (which was converted to a game room). Walking on felton up to artesia, there was a great restaurant that had super cheap made to order breakfast on the right. And a mexican restaurant I'd get takeout across Artesia. This was the 90s, not the 80s tho. Lots of familiar places. What I noticed a lot was how the size of trees had massively increased over the past 40 years, especially the rows of trees with white bark in the first comparison shots...

[@tomperkins4965]

The final years of the old MGM studio

[@davedogge2280]

Damn 40 years since the last episode, I remember when this was on regularly with new episodes on UK TV. Frightening to think how much time has passed.

[@Jsmash_424]

Man prairie almost looks the same as from the early 2000’s when I was in Hawthorne.

[@angelalinderman9985]

Wow great job of spotting all these locations! I still watch Chips from time to time and I haven't seen this one...yet! Love the wig and mannequin, I was cracking up! 👍😁🤣😭

[@el-shadow71]

Some of my favorite parts was the freezing faces at the end!!! My brother and I always joked around like that with each other!!

[@dannyharris5310]

Have you ever noticed during a chase etc on CHiPs episode that the chase always sounds happy and upbeat? Good job bro.. would love to do this sometime . With you would be great! I love seeing now and then and you go the extra mile brother. Keep up the good work my friend z

[@iamjackscompletelackofsurp9606]

Seems like yesterday I was 9 yrs old sitting in front of the tv eating my swansons tv dinner watching the first episode where ponch and John meet for the first time. Oh and that disco music….😂👍

[@aquaman199]

Nice job finding these locations,pretty cool to see what it used to look like compared to today

[@dustinmichael4318]

Is it just me or could this guy probably do a great Norm Macdonald impression? Fun video!!

[@oconmx2252]

Awesome!

[@koreancardboard]

Had no idea Yoshinoya had branches in the US. Had them a few times in Tokyo. Love the fact you used your Suzuki in the vid! Exceptional video as always.

[@albertomorales9493]

Awesome video A ++++ Thank you.. What an eye for detail!

[@davefilms345]

Late to the party on this, love this Kurt bloody brilliant as always, can't wait for your next adventure 😊

[@thomastierney3857]

Thanks for putting on a wig and driving around with a mannequin in your car to give me a good laugh.

[@novicemechanic6277]

Another awesome video! Thank you

[@retrovideobuzz]

Great ending! HAHAHA

[@trr5291]

I have all the seasons on DVD. I've loved the show since I was a child. I was born in 1987 so they were remakes.

[@mhammer5]

The thing I remember is America more back then with real cars on the street, AMERICAN. I miss those times.

[@bridgetmurphyv]

I loved chips Grossman was my favorite and I loved the intro in the beginning of chips

[@axjason]

My uncle was a Camera car driver for this TV series. He also allows the producers to use his 1969 fastback mustang in an episode where his car almost gets crashed into a telephone pole, and the steering wheel comes off, and my uncle also made a cameo appearance as an ambulance driver, who never said a word for the minute and a half he was in that cameo shot

[@fj8623]

At 3:31, across the street is a dude in a pickup truck and a bunch of people hanging around the bus stop who appear to be watching the filming production. I'm thinking they are crew. I don't believe they are extras or just random members of the public because of the way they're casually looking over at the filming. Plus, in the very next shot, 3:41, they've all disappeared. Extras would have still been there. It could be that the shots were filmed at different times, or different days for that matter. Thoughts?

[@joseavila9077]

Greas vid as always. Chips was one of my fav shows back then

[@bilplaymo6121]

yipii, I'm the 400 th to put finger....thanks for sharing, some memories for me, i was fan of this two raiders cops !

[@mattparee]

Fun Fun Fun! Please keep the videos coming.

[@bizbot1655]

All I remember from season 6 from when I was a kid was that they all rode dirtbikes out in Bakersfield. That's all that stood out.

[@fernandoquica1035]

Best show ever I am from Brazil

[@rsanders27]

Awe, somebody gave you a Cameo with Larry Wilcox for your birthday. Nice!
