Reflections on CHi. Ps 4. 0 Years Later. Well, you spend your younger life studying to be an actor and you accept roles in various TV series and TV commercials to work yourself up the ladder. You negotiate for better credits so one day it will say “Starring Larry Wilcox” but when you work with Charlton Heston or James Coburn or Lee Marvin, they usually get better billing of course because they have a bigger brand. First billing means your name is shown first and means you have earned some branding in the business and companies have probably spent millions of dollars branding your personal name. I have learned to accept such billing and continued to work on my brand. When Rick Rosner asked me to star in CHIPS and find a co- star with him I was excited about the fact that I would receive first billing branding and finally have another star credit.

In later years, the legal arguments were to bump my name off the first position but that did not happen. Here we are 4. 0 years later and ME TV says starring Erik Estrada and the “blonde guy”. As my wife watched an episode with me on TV and saw the “blonde guy” reference she sat amazed that Me TV would be so rude, so ruthless, to do what the National Enquirer would do. She exclaimed, “Wow, not only did they do something that is immoral, there is a contract obligation to using your name face and likeness.” The world is full of an amazing amount of respect and courtesy these days as a TV Network chooses to run the good old “classics” while exhibiting the crass morality and sensitivity of 2. Legal and morality are often stepping stones in the world of entertainment. Onward……with more shallow chameleons in the business world, one realizes that handshakes and integrity are not part of today’s etiquette in a world of wordsmiths and phony contract obligations.

By the way, my wife also said, “Blondes have more fun.” Gotta love her. CHi. Ps – 4. 0 years later and re- runs: Oh, the false intrigue and romance of memories. Well, my wife and dogs and cat sat waiting for the re- run of the old show CHIPS with fun anticipation.

However, 1. 0 minutes into the show and it still was not being shown other than a black screen which said the provider (ME TV ) is having technical difficulties and could not provide the content as of this moment. My wife commented, “of course,” tired of the abuse of the world.

Maybe God spanked Me TV for their lack of manners. We chuckled. Finally the show came on and I must say, the early episodes were really, well, let’s politely state, they were just simple. The police theme was a series of chases with a wheel that was to come off and create a violent wreck. The personal theme was the dog being shifted and hidden from the Sgt. Getraer played by good ole Robert Pine. We saw that Ponch lived in a motor home and ate ding dongs and was strutting his stuff in his briefs. Watch Pretty Cool Too 4Shared.

We saw Jon lived in an apartment and drove a very cool right hand steer Austin Mini Cooper. I think the Mini Cooper caught people off guard and added some intrigue and perhaps someone mused, “Hey, what kind of guy is this Jon Baker?”Actors like to layer intrigue in scripts that have none. In subsequent episodes the producers decided the mini cooper was not a man’s car and switched it to my pick up Chevy truck. A trite blue cupcake- a Chevy truck. But over time, even the truck became a kind of a character. However, I loved that little Mini Cooper and later bought one for my son Derek and shipped it all the way from London for him while I was filming the movie with Lee Marvin, Dirty Dozen. I can remember I just kept trying to create some depth, some interest, some intrigue in a very flat and shallow character and a script that was shallow and linear.

Headlines from the network and other sources, as well as downloads of trailers and clips.

I was always swimming up- stream with people who just wanted shallow trite packages and construed any input as some ego driven actor trying to “paint” when in fact I was simply trying to contribute……something. While watching these two episodes of CHIPS I saw some old faces that I remembered like my stunt double Scotty Dockstedder who died recently homeless and living in the parks. The stunt Scott did with the lay down of the bike was scary and very dangerous and as I watched I remember him being concerned about high siding the bike at that speed.

High siding is when the bike flips you over and then comes crushing down on you. The solution in those days was keep both brakes on and locked until you can separate yourself “completely” from the bike so it does not pop up and drag you with it. Scotty tore up his arm in that stunt but was OK I assume…. Stuntman’s Bar for good ole male back slapping mixed with shots and beer. So sad that Scotty had to leave this world the way he did…. It is another reminder that we only have so much time with our friends and loved ones.

Watching the show and Scotty’s sacrifices reminded me of all the people who I owe so much too as I got caught up in my own circle. Lew Saunders with his afro looked great and so the show and cast grew and continued. Later when female officers were brought in the show added some more shine and lipstick it gave a nice balance and pleasing visuals for a wider demographic of audiences. Cy Chermak did a nice job of that and steering the shows and keeping them on track The production values in the later shows are quite obvious unlike these early shows. The post production and music mixes had a lot to be desired but they were typical and representative perhaps of the late 7. However, I would humbly suggest that my 4.

Saturday afternoon quarterbacking review of CHIPS is time sensitive and not simply black and white. It is and was hard for me to sit and watch this show with my wife, Marlene. I felt like I had told her about the days when I was a star and then we both sat down to watch this famous old icon TV Series called CHIPS and the horns drag on and the actors say corny lines and I look over at my wife hoping what she sees is perhaps different than what I see.

However, her reaction says it all……. Larry, wow this was written pretty poorly and puts you in questionable light……I mean is this a cartoon. It really was like watching Sponge Bob or something thereof, as an adult. Sorry…. but really makes me cringe to watch myself. The writing is so bad and so corny at times I just think……oh man…how in the heck are you going to deliver that corn- ball line. LOL The long chase scenes with the music that goes on forever and screeching horns for drama accents and grainy film is just awful…. Ponch and Jon is cute and how you would hope two respectful young men with integrity would act.

It takes a team of people to produce a quality show and each have to interface with all parties. People just do not understand that ALL of the actors have to be trained; ALL of the crew must be experts and the writing can make anyone look absolutely horrid and I mean anyone. As I look back 4. Michael Dorn and the one liners they gave him were a nightmare for him and any actor. Robert Downey Jr could not have delivered his lines. Today I watched the show with the snakes and the runaway bus, however, I was most excited to see the scene with my son Derek who played the little boy of the family whose father was killed in a car accident. It was so fun to see Derek in that show and to see his film credit at the end of the show.

I think some of the action shots and aerial shots of the motorcycles are excellent and I think the cast chemistry was the magnet for sure. I was actually kind of impressed with the riding that Jon and Ponch did on the show and how nimble “we” became with the motorcycles. I can easily spot the stuntmen in certain shots but the camera angles and mount shots were done well for the day as they had no Go. Pros or DSLR cameras to mount everywhere. Every shot was some big Panasonic Camera or an Arrie 3. Robert Pine’s character was narrowly defined and he plays his role well as it was usually at the podium giving Sergeant like instructions.
