Ponch and Jon are back in the fourth season of the six season series of fighting crime on the highway! Back are Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox as Francis “Ponch” Poncherello and Jon Baker respectively.  The success of the series has inspired and all new theatrical film starring Dax Shepard (Parenthood) as Jon Baker and Michael Pena as Frank Poncherello!  This season the highway adventures continue with Ponch and Jon making sure that the highways of California stays safe!  Infused with the same light-hearted subplots of the past, CHiPs: The Complete Fourth Season brings you entertaining action-drama at its finest!

“Chips” has its Fourth Season premiere on DVD on March 15^th!  Two more seasons to go!  Eric Estrada and Larry Wilcox are still on the show although the pairing of the two were starting to wear off being that the two did not get along off camera making it somewhat strained to work together.   This season consists of 21 episodes over 5 DVDs.  The quality, although not restored is crystal clear for prints of their age!  Guest stars in the fourth season were Sonny Bono (Sonny & Cher), Robert Ginty (Baa Baa Black Sheep), Michael Ansara (Star Trek), Milton Berle (Texaco Star Theater), Tina Louise (Gilligan’s Island), Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street Films), Andrew Duggan (In Like Flint), John Davey (Shazam!), Richard Roundtree (Shaft), Cindy Morgan (Caddyshack, Tron), Barbi Benton (Playboy Magazine), Danny Bonaduce (Partridge Family), Diana Douglas (Beverly Hillbillies), Dwight Schultz (A-Team), Michael Cole (The Mod Squad), and Joanna Kerns (Growing Pains)!   There are no extras on this set.  Please visit www.wbshop.com for more information!
