Embarrassing Bad

Never did I think I would write a review.

There is usually a review for each episode that tells enough of the story.

Season 6 without Larry Wilcox has enough low spots for everybody, but this one scrapes a new low.

It is a straight Rip Off of Animal House the movie, even called "Fun House", get it?

The always amusing Stephen Furst goes from playing 'Flounder' to the Bluto roll in this mish mash of stereotypes, with the typical uptight conservative Frat House enemies... can't believe one wasn't called Nedermeyer.

Some weird child abduction story even shows up with the unfortunate and tragic girl from Poltergeist. Her short legacy did NOT need this show on it.

The Virus, Deja Vu

Oh my goodness. Back then, a very infectious virus was only a plot point. But watching the explanation that if this virus gets loose, then many people will be wiped out -- was a real heart wrench. This plot point was buried in a light hearted take off on "Animal House" with all of the frat house antics happening at a party with a dramatic ending of this virus almost being let loose. Oh that real life was so simple.

Flounder may be a lot of things,but a quitter he is not !

It was quite a pleasant surprise and a delight indeed seeing the same actor that played "Flounder"/"Kent Dorfmann" several years earlier in the classic wild fraternity movie "Animal House" doing a very similar role in this episode of ChiPs.

Basically our hero is a "DDT" "DeltaDeltaTau" fraternity member at a nearby college.

It seems the members of the DDT frat-house are being blamed for all sorts of thefts from the university. Complicating things is the fact that one of the of ChiPS officers was once a DDT fraternity member.

This is a rather weak and silly episode but I liked it anyway.
