Voices: Corey Burton
Ruth Buzzi -- Ma
Jim Cummings -- Monterey Jack, Jack, Nichols
Tress MacNeille -- Midge, female sheriff
Frank Welker -- Todd, airplane pilot
Notes:
Unusual situation of Chip presented in a NONpositive light -- "too busy"
and too eager for big cases to pay attention to the small cases the RR
specialize in -- sort of his answer to Dale as Rubber Bando.
Is Ruth Buzzi parodying one of her former "Laugh-In" characters?
Wouldn't know.
Jack & Nichols: Jack Nicholson parody.
[Chip particularly a jerk here. Berating Midge to the point of making
her (and Gadget, Zipper, and Monterey) cry? Either he's had a really bad
week, or the characterization was off in order to set up the whole sha-bang,
similar to Dale's and Monterey's treatment in "Chipwrecked". -- MP]
