On Tuesday, April 19, Erik Estrada got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. CHiPs is the most mocktastic '70s cop show of all time. I am still waiting for the day that the entire series comes out in a deluxe DVD box set.
(I tried to link the theme song and the first TV promo from the series to this blog, but YouTube wouldn't cooperate. You all can do the searches yourselves. The TV promo is definitely worth seeing, so go find it!)
In other, more pertinent TV news, Estrada is starring in a police reality show called "Armed &Famous." It supposedly began on Jan. 10, but I haven't seen one promo for it, nor have I had the pleasure of seeing the show yet. The regular time slot is Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. on CBS. The show follows this cast of characters as they go through police academy in Muncie, Indiana. Other notable stars of this program include LaToya Jackson and Jack Osbourne. I'm so glad that "celebreality" (thanks, VH1, for coining that term) is giving new careers to these formerly famous people.
