“Don’t even TRY, CHiPs! DON’T EVEN TRY!!!!!” [and then muttered, with sneering contempt]: “CHiPs…” … as my boyfriend and Mitchell cower in fear …
Oh hell. Congrats, Ponch.

that makes me laugh out loud every time.
I was so serious. Antonio was laughing in my face as I shouted at him about CHiPs. As though he were somehow to blame … hahahaha
I love this story.
Anybody see his performance before the Judiciary Committee yesterday? He killed.
Cullen – hahahaha It was like: I could not let it go. Mitchell does a very funny imitation of me muttering, sneering, “CHiPs …” as everyone looked on, like: Mmmmkay, Sheila has finally lost it.
I wonder if John is jealous of Ponch.
Perhaps this will help him get over his tragic loss….
i love this story. just looked at the old comments where ‘land of the lost’ is discussed…
did anyone else see the HEART SHATTERING last episode? where the family, with the help of the good sleestak, finds a way to go back UP the waterfall in their little raft?
but, using the quantum physics logic that was at the heart of the show, as they go UP, an IDENTICAL family floats past them on the way DOWN into the ‘land of the lost’.
and thus the cycle continues, endlessly we beat on, rafts against the waterfall, borne back ceaselesly into dinosaur town.
Bren – HAHAHAHAHA Oh my God you just seamlessly (or endlessly?) segued into the last line of Gatsby and I am totally DYING! EXCELLENT work!!! The Crud would be proud.
I totally remember that last episode. It rocked my world. Which is so hysterical if you think about it.
How did I miss that episode? Is that really what happened? Really??
I need a moment here.
Oh. Tracey. You have no idea.
Ponch will never love again.
Don’t drink and drive.
Ok, it’s not CHiPs, it was way better, but I just had to make a comment sort of based on the previous Emergency post. And see, you don’t even know me, but I’m going to tell you this story. My best friend was trying to convince me that Kyle Chandler, from Friday Night Lights, was HER type, as if. I told her, who looks more like Johnny Gage than Kyle Chandler (except, of course, Randolph Mantooth)? Because Johnny Gage? The original type. My Type Prototype. The first TV guy you love, that’s The Guy, forever after. So, yeah, Johnny Gage, love of my life at age 8; Kyle Chandler, the one I’d leave my husband for today. Ponch and Jon, ha! Johnny and Roy, so much cuter.
The saddest thing here is that I found your blog from searching for a Sylvia Plath thing (who I can take or leave), or maybe it was Lucy Maud Montgomery (who I LOVE), but it’s the CHiPs post that gets me to post.
CHIPS is the great unifier..should’ve won a Nobel Peace Prize!
