Chopper One was an ABC action-crime television series premiering in early 1974, depicting the activities of a fictional California police helicopter team. The program was produced by television powerhouse Spelling-Goldberg Productions. The series aired in a half-hour time slot on Thursdays at 8 p.m. Eastern.[1]

The show aired as a lead-in to Firehouse, an action-drama series about a Los Angeles fire station which premiered on the same day. Chopper One was cancelled after six months with Firehouse promptly ending the following month.
