CHiPs is an American television drama series produced by MGM Studios that originally aired on NBC from September 15, 1977, to May 1, 1983.

CHiPs was a lightweight action crime drama, which included elements of light comedy in every episode. Over-the-top freeway pileups, which occurred in almost every episode were a signature of the show. There was little if any actual violence on CHiPs and the show can be classified as a light drama. The episodes filled a standard hour-long time slot, which at the time required 48 minutes of actual programming. For filming, traffic on Los Angeles freeways was non-existent and most chase scenes were done on back roads, usually dirt roads.
