CHiPs Filming Locations then and now- Echo Park Lake

CHiPs episode: Go-Cart Terror

[@tottigal]

I was there that day, with my family. We watched them film that episode at Echo Park Lake. We are lifelong residents of Echo Park

My uncle was part of the chips crew, he was one of the mechanics who fixed the bikes and we used to go on sundays to Angeles Temple in echo park back in the 80s

Squad 51 rolls up to render aid meanwhile the most unlucky van ever rest's on the bottom of the lake. Hard to believe Gilligan's Island was filmed at Echo Park lake!

[@kevinwalters3373]

Gilligans Island wasnt filmed at Echo Park. Some previews and commericals for it were but no episodes every were filmed there. The show was filmed at the CBS Radford Studios complex in Studio City, Los Angeles.[7] The same stage was later used for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Roseanne, the latter of which featured a daydream parodying Gilligan's Island in one episode. The lagoon was drained and used as a parking lot during the show's off-season and was the last surviving element of the show when it was demolished in 1997 as part of an expansion project. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Island#:~:text=Hardy%20often%20did.-,Production,in%20Studio%20City%2C%20Los%20Angeles.

@@kevinwalters3373 There are multiple websites confirming outdoor scenes for the show were filmed at Echo Park at least in the early days of the show. Radford is where the set's were.

I never knew that Boris Johnson was in Chips. There he is at 6:22.

Squad 51 still couldn't get a new fleet by 1980. They got a lot of mileage out of that thing.

I love how Ponch can literally jump in a lake in a few minutes later be completely dry 😂

[@SuperRobbie1976]

is that sqaud 51?

[@joegreen268]

Somebody mentioned you doing a then and now on the location where Erik Estrada had his horrible motorcycle accident. Would that be a possibility? I know it was during the filming of the episode Roller Disco. I have heard him say he had already shot most of his scenes when the accident occurred. I have watched that episode many times and have yet to figure out at what point in the episode it was.

[@chipsfilminglocations]

I heard it was on the Freeway, but I would have to double-check my sources on that one. The only upload I showed was this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6XVXoabpLWHh5I. This only shows very short previously shot, footage of Erik Estrada in the very beginnings of the chase, but as "Ponch" goes down on the sidewalk, you can clearly see it's a stuntman. Lol.

[@joegreen268]

@@chipsfilminglocations Yes this was the episode that they incorporated the accident into the show but the actual accident was during filming of Roller Disco. The season 3 premiere episode.
