Childhood memories


I was probably around 8 years old and my 12 year old brother was a big fan of CHiPs. One day when he was in the shower the phone rang, I answered it and talked to whoever it was for a minute. Then I got this idea... I wrote down a phone number from the phonebook and when he came out I told him that Erik Estrada had called and wanted him to call back. He actually called the number back to find out it wasn't Erik Estrada at all. My parents were pissed.

Those were the days.

lol for a few minutes he must've been anticipating having a full on conversation with Ponch

My CHiPs memories are the episode were theres a UFO trying to abduct a girl throughout the ep and it ends on the beach Ponch screaming at the UFO to leave them alone (it seems every 80 series did a Close Encounters/ET inspired UFO ep - Equalizer, even Miami Vice.. maybe ATeam, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Magnum did as well idk)

Also I remember having a CHiPs annual and CHiPs policebike with figure attached
