CHiPs Filming Locations - Part 2 - Neighborhood Watch - Skateboard Episode

[@jimdog6014]

Keep the CHIPS episodes coming, like the first installment, the filming locations almost took a backseat to the actual stupidity of the episode itself. I think the deplorable use of the stunt doubles actually topped the mannequin in the first installment. Good work!

[@ibtaba]

“Grocery hating hooligan”. That did make me laugh out loud 🤣

[@NemeanLion-]

This is great stuff and I really think you’re onto something here. You’re not only visiting the locations, but you’re also recapping the flow of the episode while interjecting humor. I think it’s really creative and entertaining at the same time. Nice drone coverage btw.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

He does an awesome job

[@lesgore54]

Fantastic!!! Bravo!!! More! More!! Please!!

[@gcopter1963]

Weird how I came across this episode. Just a week or so ago, I was watching this episode: I bought the DVD box set of CHiP's, and watched this very episode. Many years ago, I worked in L.A., briefly, for six months, and, whenever I could, just drove around town, checking out the local landmarks that I've previously seen on TV as a kid. This is why I love California so much, just being there, took me back in time, to my younger years.

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

That was just so nicely done. The re-enactments with the family: excellent. It works because you guys know you are being corny and just run with it. Well researched, well edited, well written, well executed. Kurt seems to be operating at a professional level now.

[@doggerproductions]

haha.....love the humor you throw in.... that guy running in the alley was a classic 😂 another great video Kurt 😊👍🇬🇧

[@Gcar-Squad]

3rd time watching this and even though I left comments, I forgot to hit the like button. Probably one of your best commentary videos.

[@mikejohnsonCHG]

I had a C.H.I.P.S. “Big Wheel” back in 1981. That was the big time. This video was amazing Kurt! ✌️

[@Wild1995]

Gosh I love these Thank you for all your work

[@TheBandit7613]

A new CHiPS location video? Thumbs up #526 Gonna be a good day!

[@davidbliss3220]

This is awesome! Chips was one of my favorite shows as a kid. It had a big influence on me becoming a police officer myself. Keep up the good work!

[@samholdsworth420]

I used to love watching re-runs of CHiPs as a kid in the 80s. Now.i love watching your videos 👍🏻

[@MR_KILL777]

Hey it's cousin oliver! Haven't seen him in ages since that Brady Bunch episode!

[@METAMYSTICPODCAST]

Thank u for all ur work and humor! It’s really touching and special to see all of these spots especially since I grew up in the Bronx watching and wondering about all these places and ended up making my home here decades later!

[@johnp3390]

Thanks for these! If anyone doesn't know - a network called "Charge!" plays CHiPs from 4-8pm every weekday and my 8 year self loves it .. Looking forward to the next one!

[@timfischer]

Lots of love and care with these. I haven't watched CHiPs in 40 years but it's still a blast.

[@808pilaaaa]

Thanks I really like these filming location shows of chips! Me and my friend's would sit around and watch them and figure out where they were being filmed at! bring back great memories 😊 Keep em coming

[@albertbekassy2709]

In every episode you take me back to the 80's :)

[@jaybarney1]

Thank You for upload Still Enjoy the reruns

[@gavinmellon9313]

Superb!! Love the SJ too.😀🍉

[@paulpizzo5539]

We’ll done. I can’t wait for the next one. I grew up watching CHiPs and these videos are awesome.

[@matthewdavenport2490]

I love this so much. CHiPs takes me back to my childhood like nothing else. Well done!

[@80sLife]

Thank you! more on the way.

[@tommystrawnarm2810]

One thing I enjoy about the locations is that some look the same an even with a change I personally just like those houses an buildings. Just think of all the years that have passed. Wow, 80s Life, I’m glad to see you doing this. Because I’ve never been to California but thru your videos I have so much appreciation for what you’re doing

[@jameskett5241]

You had me literally "lol" a few times in this one.

[@scottfailla7201]

I could watch your “CHiPs” videos all day long! I was a fan of the show way back in the day when it first aired. Love the humor as well as seeing how much things have changed or stayed the same. Keep ‘em coming!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! I got more on the way

[@thecandyman9308]

Love these CHiPs episodes! That gag at the end had me rollin'!

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

My favourite part is where he grabs his boy's arm and yells "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THOSE FLOWERS! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheFinnMcGovern]

Man, I love CHIPS and didn’t know it was this corny lol. Great videos and appreciate the time you take.

[@mitchdownunder]

G'day from Adelaide, South Australia! Love all your filming location video's. I'm a massive CHiPS fan. Thankyou!

[@alopezjr]

Loved the ending credits. I almost forgot about freeze frames. Thanks

[@gunsdiesel4197]

Love the CHiPs episodes

[@MichaelSmith-mk2uj]

Fun! AND interesting to learn where scenes were filmed. Maybe the setting car on fire scene was filmed on a backlot. I need to find the episode and take a look, but maybe that’s why you couldn’t find it. Just a thought. Thanks for another entertaining episode

[@alancrisp1582]

🤭🤫 Really enjoy watching your channel. Chips was a hugely popular series in my country- New Zealand 🇳🇿, when I was just a teenager. My whole family 👪 use to look forward to Friday nights at 7.30 when Chips was shown here. So interesting to see how and where it was film 🎥. Thanks for the effort 👍you must put in to making these videos..

[@TJ-qz6hr]

Great work! Loved Chips.

[@peterneidhardt9217]

Great video and great channel. You have a certain quality that is fun to watch and listen to.

[@holyspokebikerepair4815]

This is possibly the greatest CHiPs/Skateboarding/Retro Location Hunt video I've seen this week. I love it, keep up with the great stunt shots too. Slightly more realistic than the original series.

[@tomthomas2646]

the FLAILING HEAD...... THE BEST ..... LOVED IT....CANT STOP LAUGHING....

[@michaelhallom4112]

Awesome video 📹! Love these Chip's location episodes. Keep them coming.

[@jeffl9167]

You are absolutely brilliant with these. From your sense of humor to pinpointing the locations and overlaying them with video from the show, etc. Thank you for all the work you put into it.

[@gilramirez9370]

You're the best....keep up the good work

[@tomthomas2646]

Always the Best. and HUGE Thanks for doing CHIPS....

[@CycolacFan]

That red station wagon moved really fast, at 9:34 it was parked behind her… then at 18:13 he almost runs down the drunk guy. Busy day… Great effort bringing us this info, loving it 👍

[@MrJkent27]

Great job with this video! It really took me back. Especially the music! Really loved those cement style skate parks.

[@ChiCan76]

Made my day! Thanks for all the hard work.

[@evancortez2]

Everything looked so much better back then - the streets, the buildings, even the people - the LA I grew up watching in movies and TV is gone now

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I always loved chips because they always ended it with a smile. Your ending was amazing. Thank you for keeping the chips memory alive. I loved it. It made me happy.

[@80sLife]

Awesome! Thank you!! Should have a new Chips episode dropping tomorrow.

[@SnapshotSniper]

Good job on all the work you do making these videos. CHips was great!

[@atomicbrainz]

Always love your videos! Fun to see your family getting in on the fun too. Hilarious! Can't wait for the next one!!!

[@joseyeastwood]

I love these old school CHIP episodes and wished my dad knew how to skate when i was a kid that would have been so cool.

[@80sLife]

Me too and me too. Haha. Thank you for watching

[@artcoleman3503]

good job enjoy watching your CHiPs , I remember watching them film in Canyon Country,Now living in Reno. Thank you please don't stop

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

Nice job on researching all the locations. I like the extra work put in for the transition & ending scenes

[@koreancardboard]

My favorite from this vid might be the imitations. Amazing detail on every shot.

[@p.m-audio]

Amazing Video, really cool Thank you very much for your work. I love that you name all streets too...the end was really funny🤣

[@TrashLefties]

That was awesome!!!!

[@slyjay73]

These CHIPS episodes are awesome Kurt! Love the freeze frame shots that you did at the end like they did at the end of every episode 😂 Can’t wait for battle of the bands!

[@Rassilon72]

I'm really enjoying these CHiPs locations. I loved this series when I was a young kid and have recently started watching the reruns on TV again here in the UK. I love the attention to detail in your videos and your humour is the cherry on the cake. Please keep them coming. They make my day.

[@whoami7721]

I loved CHiPs as a kid and still do. Nowadays, if I see it, I like to see how much has changed since the early '80s. It's hard to sometimes nail down exactly where the scenes were filmed, as the production went from Santa Monica to Sherman Oaks to Pacific Palisades and back, like in this episode. I could totally identify the 210 freeway, which was being worked on during the time the show was on the air, and often used for the chase scenes. Another piece of nostalgia was that my mom had a yellow Ford Granada, but it was a two door model.

[@davefilms345]

Absolutely brilliant Kurt as always, top fan of this channel, love it all, keep em coming

[@Rayman1971]

You add so much value to these old shows!!! It's wild to see the places change so much, all the smog of the old days .... Keep it up!!!

[@se2702]

You are amazing finding all these locations! I don't see how you do it. And the humor, it's great - fits right in with Ponch and Jon! Thanks, and can't wait for more!!

[@emeyer6963]

I just watched this episode yesterday.Nice job as always

[@kuriaki71]

Awesome job. Love your work

[@montydagreat5714]

Hilarious and great work Kurt “Grocery hating hooligan” 😂😂

[@MrTCB1975]

That was too funny when you get hit by the car and the dummy comes flying across the screen.

[@Rob78169]

Man I love these chip's filming location vids. You do such a good job finding and lining up the shots.

[@johnjuan812]

Yes!! Awesome! More of these!!!

[@gcopter1963]

Love it how you do these "CHiP's " re enactments!👍

[@JohnnyLobes]

The amount of work you put into these videos are crazy! I love them all!

[@2532robh1]

Yay!!!!! We get another one!!! Thanks!!!!

[@SanAntonioRosie]

Awesome as always! Thanks brother! 🤟🤟🤟

[@cheryl2675]

I died with the running re-enactment! 💀Love your videos! Thanks for the fun research! Also love how you cover the skate scene! I heard Van Nuys was OG skate hood back in the 70’s/80’s. Great job!

[@hottotty13]

I used to look for that CHP station every time we drove past that area as a kid.

[@davidlilly3564]

Cool. I really loved chips. Like starsky and hutch. Zebra 3.

[@jeremywelton588]

That was AWESOME! Great sense of humor! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Leg-xx5md]

Great clean channel, you bring back the 80s all over again for me. Thanks for the great videos.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much for that!

[@bom-vinho5660]

Guy: Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!! I was a Chip's fan, watched it a lot in the late 70's and early 80's 😀😀!! I'm still a fan and I watch! See how the streets were around at the time of filming, and see how they are now, very cool 😃😃!! Congratulations for your work, I already subscribed to your channel👏🏾👏🏾😀😀 !! Paulo (Brazil - May / 2022)

[@RDJ134]

Loved this show as a kid.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Nice. In the scene at 1:14 you can catch a glimpse of the trailer the two bikes are strapped to in lower left corner. CHiPs is such cheesy fun.

[@SunJetViking]

I absolutely love this. Great series and an awesome job as usual from you and your family. Love from Sweden

[@Mostlyonoff]

Nice work. For all its endearing cheesiness looking back, CHiPs really provides a nice documented time capsules of the times. Fun to see the changes and not changes. The Datsun B210 was huge, Station Wagons before minivans, trucks before SUVs all with their own style. While in the modern cutbacks the cars look the same, just in black or white

[@magamaga1827]

Much like NYC was back then in the 70s, you see how less populated and cleaner LA and the Valley appear to be back then. Quality of life looked great. Now every city is way over populated.

[@BuccaneerBruce]

That was really fun. They clearly figured your 1978 19-27 inch lo-res TV would not show any of the stunt people.

[@nhdenver7883]

I love everything you're doing here! The humor is great, the info is great, the "pausing" at the end is spot on! Thank you!

[@1sikgolf]

GREAT ENDING to another GREAT video. Your a damn natural at this! I to always thought to myself " why are these chp dudes never on the highway", haha. Also, is that your samurai, its rad!!!

[@cornishrider]

Many thanks from England! They have just started re-running CHiPS on tv here after an absence of many years. Saw this episode the other day so great to see the locations now and they haven't lost their appeal to someone who grew up in the 70's & 80's dreaming of that sun and heat as England is typically grey and cold! Still at least we do have surf here in Cornwall so that's one similarity!

[@troutman1971]

Thank you so much! I love your channel!! You are awesome for doing this. I’ve always dreamed on visiting the locations of CHIPS. Thanks again for making this a fun reality

[@BostonSmitty]

This is seriously one of my favorite channels. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@80sLife]

Its my pleasure. Thank you so much!!

[@drscopeify]

What a fantastic video as always, you do such amazing work on matching up all of these scenes. The running scene was hilarious with the head bobbing, I guess they added it for dramatic effect? So funny.

[@thomastierney3857]

Glad to see that you are still ripping up a lot of pavement with your skateboard. And I think your stunt doubles are more realistic than the ones that used to use on CHiPs.

[@culcune]

That Dodge dealer across the street from Skatercross was the first time I saw a Viper in person. Years prior to that, I recall the last couple years of Skatercross, but it had already closed when we moved to Northridge in 1979. I regretted never sneaking in and skating it before it was razed. My parents still live in the same house (the area is now called Porter Ranch), coincidentally right near where another scene from CHiPs was filmed at the intersection of Tampa and Chatsworth (the episode involving an alarm company and the scene was the mayor's limo was stolen and recovered at Chatsworth and Tampa). I saw that one filmed (circa 1983-ish). Not too far from ANOTHER scene near the intersection of Devonshire near Reseda where another scene was filmed, but I believe it was in '77 or '78 and before we moved nearby. That was the scene at the store where the young man bought a BB gun before he caused a major car accident and where he went back to try to get a refund on the BB gun.

[@Czechbound]

That was *excellent*. So well researched, scripted, edited. Ha ha, that ending is very cool 🙂 Great to see the places today that filled our Saturday afternoon tv watching 40 years ago. I guess these were filmed on 16mm. Even that vs video today, I guess the "air" looks different maybe because of the smog back then that we would read about ? This is one of my favourite channels. Greetings from Prague, CZ

[@paulnoel2142]

You had me rolling.😂 Keep up the great work.👍🏻

[@tommycamino]

Thanks for this, love the chips locations, can't wait to see the next one, keep going, great work

[@mikecarter8880]

I love film locations, I have a bad habit of looking at then and now with google images and trying to track locations. Some things are fairly easy growing up around LA, some harder. So I just finished your 2nd video and you have yet to mention how much better the air quality is these days. Just finished a rewatch of Quincy and boy you watch these old shows and I remember the smog alerts where we couldn't go out for lunch or recess. When I look at the then and now photos of shows the air quality is a massive improvement. I go for walks daily and I usually am surprised at how blue the sky is. I don't remember a blue sky in the 70s/80s. Oh and that CHP station, late 80s I use to go to an acid house at a place called The Casa (Now Club Vertigo) which is right next to the station along with the clubs parking lot, we use to climb one of the buildings overlooking the station and drink before heading in. Good times!

[@YourreelmemoriesAu]

Good work lining up the shots. I find it strangely fascinating to see what has & hasn’t changed in 40 years.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@toycartel.]

The commentary on the episodes are my favorite from you. Keep them coming. 😂👍

[@faiellarobert]

You keep posting the videos and I’ll keep watching them!! Thank you for bringing back many good memories of my youth❤️🤘🏻

[@80sLife]

It's a deal! Thank you so much!

[@Coopdog-dp5eq]

That was Rad! I hope the next episode is the one with Punk Rockers. Reseda Skater Cross was in Skateboarder Magazine like a million times. It ran through an old drive in diner. That's why part of it has a roof that makes no sense. I love how every week there was a new hobby or sport that Ponch and Jon were somehow experts at.

[@trinketsmusings]

Haha! That was fun. That Alpha Beta was our grocery store when I was little. I still live in that neighborhood.

[@80sLife]

How cool. Thank you for watching

[@topperlongo]

Dude! CHiP’s is still one of my favourite programs to watch. It’s a perfect time capsule of that time period. For some reason I always liked the days when it rained in LA. It just reminds me of a perfect time with friends and all that. There is a CHiP’s episode where Ponch and Jon have to use a squad car because of the rain. It’s the plot about a rolling casino. I love that particular episode because of the rain. Thank you for all the work you put in getting to these locations. Peace.

[@BreakTime10101]

It’s called “Rainy Day” and one of three episodes where Baricza pulls a weapon. In this episode he pulls out the vehicle shotgun.

[@topperlongo]

Nice one. Thanks. Yeah, I remember him also pulling a gun on Billy, one of local henchman Andy Macedon’s karate gang. Billy and his crew are stripping a car and “Bear” pulls up on them. Cool.

[@BreakTime10101]

@@topperlongo Yes, the episode “Karate”. He also pulls out his revolver in the episode “Peaks and Valleys” but you don’t actually see the gun, just his motion of doing it. So to recap S1E20 - “Rainy Day” shotgun S2E1 - “Peaks and Valleys” revolver S4E16 - “Karate” revolver

[@buckpotter3184]

Your shows is awesome I love when you reenact the parts
