Since I am only familiar with memories of watching CHiPs, I would like to ask members of the group to compare and contrast that show with Alarm für Cobra 11 so that I can understand the latter. I am also curious why the German public would now be appreciating what appears to be a formula used by an American TV series almost 30 years before. I may be missing some crucial detail which will dissolve my entire thesis, but in any case I would like to hear people's thoughts!
