Chips was on the forefront of what was poplar during its run. It was cool though see Ponch and John doing the hottest sport or hobby. This episode was no different as KISS was popular. Thanks for posting this. I still watch Chips reruns when I get home from work.🍻
Thank you for this episode. Being a KISS and Horror fan from the 70s/80s, I always thought Moloch was a little tribute to Gene Simmons. Maybe more than an obvious tribute.🤘🏻🎃
When you are young you don't realize how freaking cheesy this show was i really got a great laugh watching it Moloch looking like a discount Gene Simmons and our favorite rascal Flippy great vlog Kurt.
Your the best,I enjoy your narration, I also wonder why the CHP is always on scene no need for LAPD. cant wait for the next. Keep up the good work Art Reno
My favorite CHiPs episode besides the punk one. I was hoping you'd do the locations for it. I would never recognize that intersection where Moloch's hearse crashes, even though I've driven through it many times on my way back and forth to my relatives' place in Playa Del Rey. They always filmed in the western part of LA County or in the San Fernando Valley for CHiPs, so it's gotta hold a special place in your Valley boy heart.
Chips was one my favorite shows when i was in elementary school in the late 70s to early 80s. I remember this satanic band because they look like KISS. Thank you for the great vid Kurt.
I remember this episode!! Good old memories! 😅 ⚰️💀💀🎃🦇 This happened during the heavy metal craze from the 80s in Los Angeles!! Thanks for this video!!! 👍👍 Kurt you should do a video on Horror hosts from Los Angeles. Grimsley was from KHJ studios in the late 70s. And of course everyone knows Elvira, she's from Los Angeles KHJ studios as well.
My mom worked in Long Beach and saw them film all the time. I was able to see them myself a few times. Thank you for the incredible attention to detail.
Awe man, shoulda asked me about the World Way bridge off Pershing. My dad worked for TWA at LAX from the late 60s to the mid 90s. That was the way to the hangar. Aside from that, we'd drive too fast on Pershing late at night.....and we'd park on the hill between Pershing and the ocean (Sandpiper Rd) as it was a bit. of an "Inspiration Point"........
This the best episode by far in Season 6 .Been watching CHIPS for decades. Unfortunately Season 6 is mostly lame!! Cattle on the HIGHWAY, orangutans, the ET, Sea Monsters,,Alvira, really?? I think you get the picture 🖼..Moloch performed a I song set, no encores!! Wonder how much the tickets are!!!
It may be just a coincidence, you thanked your Australia viewers, the airplane with the red tail you filmed at the sign "world way west" has a giant white kangaroo painted on it. Its for an Airline company called QANTAS which I believe is Australia's premier airliner and has the record as the world's most safest apparently.
Another awesome video Kurt. Finally got up to my neck of the woods in Sunland, they filmed a ton up there before and after the freeway opened. "The back of the car is a ramp, that's extremely dangerous" - I wish you would have somehow added a sketch with your son at the end :)
Lol one of the most absurd episodes ever. Funny side story. I was in a ska/punk band back in the 90's. When we broke up the singer/sax player started a new band. He wrote a song about this episode. Was their best song.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos; entertaining and your commentary often hilarious. I too have a fascination with filming locations and so glad I found your channel ! Keep up the great work.
This episode was before Elvira was nationally syndicated. She was still just the host of a local show on an independent TV station in Los Angeles. No one watching this episode in 1982 outside of Southern California would have known who she was.
Yes! that's right! If it wasn't for KHJ studios we wouldn't have Elvira. She was local to LA and in Channel 9 from KHJ studios on Melrose Ave, Hollywood. She wasn't popular yet nor has gone national syndicate. But Elvira later on replaced Grimsley played by Robert Foster, he was a "horror movie host" in the late 70s on KHJ Channel 9 and on KTLA channel 5 on a show called Fright Night. I'm not sure why he left but he was funny and scary at the same time. Anyone remember him? or what he's up to now?
@@john_from_eastcoast. Was too young for Fright Night but I was a huge horror movie and Elvira fan. Going to 7-11 for 3D glasses to watch that Vincent Price movie was a huge deal for nine year old me. 40 years later and I still remember that it aired at 4pm on a Sunday.
@@mjwbulich Yes I remember too. I watched "The Ghoul" horror host in early 70s when I lived in Massachusetts. Then I saw Grimsley in late 70s in Los Angeles on KHJ but then he was cancelled or I think he quit. You cannot even find any video takes from him on RU-vid, it's unfortunate. I remember the movies Jaws Part 3 in 3D and also Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D played at the Pacific movie theater on Hollywood Blvd back in the 80s. And the California cable channel SelectTV they had the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" movie televised in 3D which you had to buy the 3D glasses at the 7-11 store.
I just realized why I love the Chips Filming Location videos so much....they're filmed in the same spirit as the original Chips episodes..not too serious, but SO FUN!
Your CHiPS videos are my FAVORITE! Please don’t ever stop making them! We appreciate all your effort so much. I can tell how hard you work to find these locations and I think you’re probably the best at it! You find the smallest of details and it’s amazing. Love your content so much!
@@80sLife Oh yes! Sorry dude. Awesome and detailed work!!! Im going to California next month (Brea, Orange County), and I was wondering what can I have nearby. Besides im. planning to go to Pacoima to shout "Raychaiiiiiiii!!!!"😁
I can’t believe the things we watched and believed - these old episodes are so cringy. Watching your video and your commentary - I laughed so hard. I love your videos!!!!!!!! Thank you!
When the kid gets his bike stolen, and runs between the houses, look how big that tree got! I don't know why, but the trees are some of my favorite posts of the then and nows.
Google Earth: "I am the most the advanced open source satellite network with cloud network cross-verification yet devised." Kurt: **puts on pink shorts**
17:41 Pink shirt guy is dancing in Boston. You can see the old John Hancock building right by his raised fist. This must have been from Moloch's North American tour.
What - they used a ramp? I thought cars just did that when they rear-end another car! Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it. That 6th season was even cheesier than the first 5, they were really indulging Erik's ego by then.
Flippy ain't Robert Tujillo. Assuming this episode was shot earlier in 1982, Trujillo would have been 17 or 18. I was in high school with him at the time in Culver City and he looked nothing like Flippy
Yes I enjoy seeing how much and how little has changed over the decades, but at the same time, being the kids shown, for instance in this episode are around the same age as me. I was born in '72. Most of those kids are now grand parents and some might even be great grandparents now.
