Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 11/25/2008 Amazon.com: It took only one season for old-school cop Capt. Greer (Tige Andrews), and his new-school undercover Mod Squad to bridge their generation gap. In the season opener, "The Girl in Chair Nine," a psychic tells Julie (Peggy Lipton) that she has two men in her life; that would be Pete (Michael Cole) and Linc (Clarence Williams III). But there is a third, she corrects him: Capt. Greer. And in the episode, "An Eye for an Eye," the trio get involved when Greer’s new girlfriend is kidnapped, culminating in an emotional scene in which Linc must stop him from crossing the line in confronting a suspect. Later, Greer thankfully proclaims of his young charges, "This is my family." Too touchy-feely? Not to worry; there’s plenty of groovy cop-show action in these 13 solid episodes. As Julie observes at one pont, "When something’s happening, you’ve got to go where it’s at," and the youngsters come to the aid of a Mexican urchin used by two thieves in a series of robberies, try to cool tensions when a black student is killed during a college protest, investigate the murder of a washed-up country singer, and expose a phony healer. One case hits real close to home when Pete is framed for murder. Two welcome returns in this season’s first half are Marvin Kaplan as kindly Sol Alpert (one of the passengers on the ill-fated airplane in the Season One episode, "Flight Five Doesn’t Answer"), whose cousin is revealed to be a bigoted slumlord in "In This Corner-Sol Alpert", and the trio’s trusty Woody station wagon, which has a heroic last hurrah in "The Death of Wild Bill Hannachek." Notable guest stars include Carolyn Jones (The Addams Family) as a woman traumatized by her husband’s suicide in "Lisa," Maurice Evans as a charming con man in "Never Give the Fuzz an Even Break," and a quite fetching Tyne Daly as a waitress in "Hannachek." From a Raquel Welch reference to covers of songs by Poco and Carole King, The Mod Squad is stuck in the ‘60s. But the seamless ensemble lifts it beyond time capsule status. As Capt. Greer says at one point, "Like the kids say, 'It’s something else.'" --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Peggy Lipton ShowI'm surrendering to my temptation to rate this set just below 5 stars, soley base on how many scenes Peggy Lipton is in. She failed to show up much in one episode, so I'm shaving off a star. Seriously, this IS the reason why I'm buying up this series; I haven't outgrown this schoolboy crush I have on Peggy, but I have outgrown much of what television has to offer me. The Mod Squad, however, ..and I'm very surprised by this, doesn't annoy me. It's quiet, charming and has a strong ethical core. In ...

Read More: Rating:  - Hope this is not nobbled like the Fugitive soundtrack!?I agree with the reviewer below. (Vitoskywalker) I won't buy this till I know that everything has been left in its original state. What CBS/Paramount did with The Fugitive (added new soundtrack) was criminal! Let's hope this release can be enjoyed by all fans of this wonderful show - how it was intended! Season One was fine (picture/audio); the only disappointment being that it would have been nice to have the unedited pilot included as an extra. Also, just because I'm a purist, I would have ... Read More: Rating:  - Don't trust Paramount/CBS!This set hasn't hit the streets yet but some people are giving it five-star reviews. Whenever you see something being released by CBS/Paramount, a red flag should immediately be raised because you don't know what you're getting. The company has destroyed recent DVD releases of "The Fugitive" and "The Odd Couple" by removing all the original music from the episodes. Who knows how the upcoming release of "The Mod Squad" will be altered? Wait before you buy. DO NOT pre-order anything ... Read More: Rating: - Landmark Crime Drama Began The Spelling EmpireThe Mod Squad is a seminal television show for several reasons. One is that it was so clearly a product of its times - from the clothes, hairdos, to its rebellious, revolutionary, hippie sensibilities. The second reason is that The Mod Squad was the beginning of the legendary producing legacy of Aaron Spelling, and his many years of providing viewer-friendly programs to both ABC and Fox. Although he had worked as an actor and writer, and had already produced Johnny Ringo and Burke's Law, The Mod ... Read More: |
