yea ok....like a cop in full uniform is gonna jump in the water, and no life jacket to on top of it. Nowadays it would be more like: "Foley, call in a diver. I hope that kid can hold on."
Thank you so much for posting this video! This was one of my fathers favorite shows, and even though he hated Star Wars and anything else scifi related, because of Dirk Benedict, it was demanded that our family had to watch the premire of "Battlestar Galacitca" in Sep. '78. Even thou the tv premire of the '76 King Kong was on. This is my first taste of Chopper One, and I wish I could get more!
I didn't catch on to BSG until about half way through the first season. My dad watched it. I love Sci fi but at that time it was what sparked my interest in sci fi. Besides, Dirk Benedict was hot! I didn't realize he had done a tv series before BSG. Then again, I would have been too young to watch. I was only about 6 when Chopper one came out.
Why aren't this and 240 Robert out on DVD yet? I remember both shows from my youth, and they both have strong points for selling them now (Pre-star status Mark Harmon and Dirk Benedict). I'd buy them. They have Riptide out on DVD now for goodness sakes!
I remember this how - amazing! I was gutted when it ended. Wish there were moreclips on Youtube!

This looks around the time when the LAPD just started receiving the Bell 206.

I remember this too. It's from about 1975 but I'd totally forgotten that Dirk Benedict starred in it as well.

I think I remember a promo that went something like
"The men of Chopper 1 don't walk a bit".
I don't really remember that much about the show but I remember that promo.
