The best episode of "CHiPs" ever is about to come on.

It's the two-parter "Roller Disco."

It's on Charge! TV, whatever that is where you are. I'm on the east coast, so your time might be different. If you never see another episode, this is the one to see.

Ponch and Jon hit the roller disco in this incredible scene from 'CHiPs' in 1979. Every TV celebrity of the era is in here, from Tina Louise to Cindy Williams.

The tall blond boy in the white pants who shows up at 1:04 and again at 1:28 is Philip McKeon, who died two and a half years ago of undisclosed causes.
