CHiPs DVD set season 2 will be released on Oct. 1st. Warner has not provided a release date yet. They haven't even finished their Sept. schedule, and haven't gotten to October yet.

Would it be possible to include what "CHiPs" actually stands for? The article doesn't mention it anywhere, and I'd think it should be right near the top, if not in the opening paragraph. --Khaim 11:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

On the 2010 version of Hawaii Five-O, CHIPS is playing in the background of the episode "He Kane Hewa' Ole". Danny and Steve begin discussing who would be Ponch and John.

Should this article contain an analysis of the homoerotic subtext of this show? Camp 70s disco, tight uniforms, butch chaps etc... 79.73.2.90 (talk) 20:01, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

"CHiPs" doesn't stand for anything. In California CHP officers are referred to as "Chippies". Rick Rosner originally wanted the show to be called that, but NBC didn't like it so he changed it to "CHiPs." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.198.177 (talk) 00:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CHiP's.jpg

Image:CHiP's.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

2003 Remake

There is no source listed for the 2003 remake. Someone had added a link to http://www.booyastudios.com as a reference, but I can find no information related to "CHiPs" or a 2003 remake on that site. --PatrickD (talk) 00:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

CHiPs Producer Mistake

The Rick Rosner linked to this article is not the same person as the CHiPs producer. This article links to a page in[REDACTED] about the TV show producer Rick Rosner. However it is another Rick Rosner (see http://en.wikipedia.org/Rick_Rosner). The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) has both, Rick Rosner II, the man linked to this article who is not involved with the series (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1262827/), and Rick Rosner I, the actual CHiPs producer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0743121/). A proper article about Rick Rosner should be created and linked to this article, or at least change the links to points to a void article in order to avoid misleading information about the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.195.13.142 (talk) 08:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Merger_proposal

CHiPs '99 is a four year old stub, of basically 2 lines of text and a rather excessive cast list, it could have a section here - with a loss off all those red links.  Ronhjones  22:06, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Merge Well... it has almost been 2 years since you brought this up! So why not! Move the one line into a section and embed the infobox. Do we really have to wait a week? ChadH (talk) 03:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Y Done! ChadH (talk) 16:59, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit request from Teambeach, 24 March 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} I would like to add a picture of Frank Poncherello's Badge from the series. It has the actual B600 number on the badge.

Teambeach (talk) 20:17, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

That would be interesting. Can you please link to the file? Dawnseeker2000 20:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Ponch Italian?

"The character of Ponch was originally conceived to be Italian ("Poncherini"), but when Erik Estrada won the part, the character was changed to Hispanic American."

In one episode, Ponch identified as Italian. The patrol officers were getting a bit rowdy in the briefing room, and Sarg told them to cool it. Ponch said, "I can't help it Sarg. I'm Italian, we're emotional." (And to which Sarg's stone-faced reply was "I'm Dutch, we're not.") 207.6.107.32 (talk) 20:37, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

My instinct is that when the writers of a show change a fact to suit whatever scene they're writing, then they consider that fact unimportant. So unless some third party can be cited saying it is important, Ponch's ethnicity should probably be ignored by Misplaced Pages. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Please add the fact there will be a cast reunion and convention on September 15th, 2012. More info can be found on the official site: http://chipsreunion.com WebWriter24 (talk) 22:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Please also add that CHiPs was inducted into the Diecast Hall of Fame on February 24th, 2012 at the Diecastspace.com SupercConvention in Las Vegas. Larry Wilcox and Robert Pine were there to accept on behalf of the show. Photos are available. More info available on the Diecastspace.com site. WebWriter24 (talk) 22:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Looks like advertising to me. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Not done: WP:ROC for the first request. WP:ADS for the second request and it's not on the list that you mentioned http://www.diecasthall.com/announcements/hall-of-fame-class-of-2012-updated/ ChadH (talk) 22:55, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

The fact that the CHiPs cast is having a reunion to celebrate the 35th anniversary isn't relevant to CHiPs? Are you people for real? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.198.177 (talk) 00:12, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

"Fact" is probably the operative word here. And the lack of interest in independent sources, which makes one question the whole thing. Can you cite any independent newspapers, magazines, books, professionally edited web sites, etc on this planned event? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:01, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Note: I did about a hour of searching to find a WP:THIRDPARTY and WP:INDY with no luck. The CHiP's reunion website seems to be a fan run site, which is not an independent source (Which I am assuming Dennis was alluding to). Remember Misplaced Pages is is not a crystal ball, so while the reunion is great, (and as a huge CHiPs fan myself, it is) until it happens it's basically advertising which is not allowed on Misplaced Pages. There needs to be independent sources so that it brings factual and informative content to boost the article about the CHiPs TV show. While searching for sources, the website is one of the top hits as well as the Facebook page... Those are the best forums for that type of information, and I urge you to read what wikipedia is and isn't. ChadH (talk) 04:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Source of info about future DVDs?

On 15-Jan-2012, several edits were made adding information about upcoming DVD releases of CHiPs seasons 3, 4, 5 and 6. No source of this information was provided. A phone call to Warner Home Video's customer service line, asking about this, says that "nothing has been announced" for those seasons. How do we know this is legit information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.177.44.119 (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Is this series really camp?

According to the aforementioned article, this 80s police series is now considered to be camp!! By definition, camp means:

an aesthetic sensibility that regards something as appealing or humorous because of its deliberate ridiculousness.

Anyone care to comment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.225.8 (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

If there are unsourced facts or opinions at Camp (style), feel free to challenge or delete them. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Please change the phrase 'strait-laced' to 'straight-laced' because the former is incorrect. Stebonius (talk) 08:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

 Not done - As a UK English user I agree it looks wrong, but "strait-laced" is an "Alternative spelling of straight-laced" as can be seen here - Arjayay (talk) 09:44, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Caitlyn Jenner credit

See Talk:Caitlyn Jenner#Film and movie credits -- this has been discussed before, and there is a standing consensus. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

It follows MOS:IDENTITY which is a guideline backed by WP:BLP, "do no harm". The harm that it does is describe at Deadname. If VPP rewrites IDENTITY then we will write to the new guideline. Skyerise (talk) 04:02, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
