CHiPs

I loved this episode of CHiPs. I have to admit that CHiPs season 2 is my favorite. Probably because it features Brianne Leary as Sindy Cahill. She's my fave female CHiPs officer. I hated how they gave Bonnie a similar story in season three's Dynamite Alley. She already took Sindy's call number, did she really have to steal something else?

This episode is different from other CHiPs episodes & mirrors more recent cop dramas before they even existed, but to much better effect in my opinion. I loved how the gang got togtehr to try & clear Sindy of what she had been acused of. Showed the family atmosphere of the CHiPs. The stunts were really great & I enjoyed how they ended the episode off on a lighter note after all the drama.

Sure, this episode is pretty outdated now, but boy was it exciting back in the day! To investigate the accident, the best technology they had at the time was used. It's comparable to the CSI shows that are so popular now. I was just a kid when this episode first ran and it thrilled me to see how accidents were investigated. I think it's still fun to watch this one just to see how things used to be done. Amazing how things have changed!



Another reason why I like this episode was because of Sindy. She was my favorite female officer on CHiPs. Pretty dramatic to have her involved in such a serious accident and then be blamed for it! Yeesh! It had me on the edge of my seat to see if the rest of the officers could save the day!



And by far the best reason to watch this episode is the big crash. Crashes are always cool (despite the obvious ramps the show used). They show this crash over and over and over and over. Just awesome! I don't recall this episode having a "fun activity" at the end like most others, but this episode wasn't like the others. I think some people who don't like CHiPs because of its cheesiness would enjoy this one.

In this episode die more people than ever in CHiPs. The idea of the pile up is not new but here we see not only the wrecks and dead people - no, we learn how a case like this is solved. Of course for today it´s looking a bit old fashioned as today in the time of ABS and EPS the traces doesn´t tell all.

A bit annoying was the apperance of the Senator. I don´t know if it is usual in America that the politicians take part in running enquiries but I´ve nerver heard from in my country.

Even Sindy was most seen in a hospital bed, this cute officer steals everyone´s heart. When first watching "Mait Team", I cried a lot but watched it again and again.

I like the solution they found. In the other way .... what would have been happend if the pile-up really was Sindy´s fault? We never will know but I like this thought. How can a human bear the blame of such a big desaster?

It was good that the writers gave "a bit hope" and fun at the end, even it was not much.

Fazit: One of the best CHiPs moments ever
