Description: It follows the lives of two motorcycle officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP). A signature of the show, especially in the later seasons, were frequent over-the-top freeway pileups. For filming, traffic on Los Angeles freeways that were yet to be opened, was non-existent and most chase scenes were done on the back roads. The show starred Erik Estrada as macho, rambunctious Officer Francis Llewellyn "Ponch" Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as his straitlaced partner, Officer Jonathan Andrew Baker.
