roller disco ?


does anyone know if that episode was built around some kind of fund raiser? i cant imagine any reason that many celebs would turn out for a episode of CHIPS.

And they were all uncredited.

The episode revolved around a real charity fundraiser for Actors and Others for Animals. Earl Holliman, who also appeared in the episode was the president of the charity.

Dick Van Patten never said no to a worthy cause. In August 1979 he was among dozens of stars who took part in a fundraiser for Actors and Others for Animals by appearing in a roller-disco themed episode of NBC’s “CHiPs.” Producer MGM-TV donated $32,5000 to the org after a gaggle of actors — including Dick, Pat, Joyce and Jimmy Van Patten, showed up at Flippers Roller Boogie Palace on La Cienega Boulevard to film the pivotal scene.

Do you even like the CHiPs, or are you here to make troubles?

What do you think? LOL

Why aren't you posting as rajeashmulan anymore?

Didn't Robert Pine's real life wife appear in this episode as one of the celebrities? She was an actress back then.
