What does the tv show c.h.i.p.s stand for? :Chris:

CHiPs stands for "California Highway Patrol."

As counter-programming to the heavy police procedural dramas of the 1970s, NBC’s CHiPs (1977-83) took a lighter approach to law enforcement.

Amenable California Highway Patrol officers Frank “Ponch” Poncherello (Erik Estrada) and Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox) rarely encountered anything more serious than a freeway pileup; families enjoyed the low mortality rate, and the series developed into a solid merchandising and ratings success.
