Can’t wait to see this one. Will Larry Wilcox, Robert Pine, or Brodie Greer etc have cameos? Love this show even though it may appear cheesy by today’s standards, it entertains me every evening on MeTV.
The show of Chips is my best movie in life. When I was little until now I love this show. I which I can meet those actor and actress to ask some question how they fell in front of the tv and have those autograph from them too. They did good job and I love there series.
