Trivia:
The freeway chases and crash scenes were filmed on nearly-finished stretches of Southern California freeways. For the first season, the Glendale Freeway (Highway 2) in Montrose, California was used. For the second and subsequent seasons, the intersection of the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) and the Simi Valley Freeway (Highway 118) in Sylmar, California were used. These sections of freeway were under construction for many years, allowing producers about a mile of finished freeway section to use for the show. The 210 and 118 were opened in the early-1980s forcing the freeway scenes for the last season to be shot in Long Beach, California. moreQuotes:

I may say that "CHiPs" is part of my life. It was a wonderful TV-series, that influenced my childhood, that of my friends, and that of people all around the world. It was very entertaining and we always have tried to imitate them when we're playing. "CHiPs" is a reference point on the entertainment history!
