- Fantastic to be able to have the Mod Squad Series!!
- I am thrilled the Mod Squad Series is finally available after all these years. I have been looking for years! My sisters and I would watch the show diligently every week. It was part of our lives and brought a perspective of the world into our home. Contraversial topics were presented tastefully and meaningfully. I hope they produce the entire 5 seasons. I will be first in line to buy them. I want the cast to know how much their show meant to us. Thanks Peggy, Michael, and Clarence, you have made a meaningful contribution to the television history.

- I feel like I have waited a lifetime!
- I can't explain how thrilled I am to have the Mod Squad back on TV, and right in my home. I was a pre-teen when this show premired and it became an instant favorite. My thrill back then was looking each week at Michael Cole. His face not only adorned my black and white TV set, but the back of my bedroom door. All those great pictures from 16 and Tiger Beat proudly were displayed on that door for many years (much to my mother's distain may I add) My thrill now is seeing the episodes in color! I know that sounds silly, but we didn't have a color TV until 1976 so I can't wait to see my long lost love...Michael Cole in living color!
I'm sure I will be transported back to being 12 years old!
Thanks Paramount for being so smart as to bring back these great nostalgic shows! - 2008-02-06, 8 of 10 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The 2nd Half Of The Squad's First Season!
- Pete, Julie and Linc. TV's hippest squad of undercover cops are back on the DVD scene with The Mod Squad - Season One, Volume Two. Loosely based on creator Bud Ruskin's experiences as a police squad leader for undercover cops, ABC's "The Mod Squad" (1968-1973) recruited the talents of reformed Pete Cochran (Michael Cole), Julie Barnes (Peggy Lipton) and Lincoln "Linc" Hayes (Clarence Williams III) to fight crime as an undercover unit of the Los Angeles Police Department. Guided by their boss, Captain Adam Greer (Tige Andrews), the only other officer who knew of their identities, the Mod Squad not only bridged the generation gap on the show, but also blazed the hip cops trail for several future crime shows including 21 Jump Street and New York Undercover.
Picking up where Volume One left off, with the 2nd half of the show's first season, The Mod Squad - Season One, Volume Two is a 4-disc set featuring the Squad's remaining 13 hour-long Season One episodes; Digitally Remastered Full Frame (1.33:1) video; plus the following Special Feature: "Hello, My Name is Julie - The Mod Look" - Featurette highlights the groovy style of Peggy Lipton's Julie Barnes (10:15). Guest stars include: William Windom, Ed Begley, Lou Gossett Jr., Leslie Ann Warren, Tom Bosley, Ida Lupino, Sammy Davis Jr., Robert Duvall, Edward Andrews, Bo Hopkins and John Beck.

- Landmark Crime Drama Began The Spelling Empire
- The 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 Squad began an incredible and unprecedented almost forty year run of producing television shows that captured fans with either high-octane action sequences, or opulent comedies or soap-operatic dramas. The partial list includes The Rookies, SWAT, Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, Vegas, Hotel, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, and Charmed.
But still at the heart of this show was the rapport and relationship between the three street kids who were rounded up and rehabilitated into undercover cops - rich kid Pete Cochran (Michael Cole), runaway Julie Barnes (Peggy Lipton), and taciturn revolutionary Lincoln Hayes (Clarence Williams III. Pete, Julie, and Linc had immediate street cred with the mostly young felons they ran across, and even though it could be testy or frosty, their relationship with their mentor and rehabilitator, Captain Adam Greer (played by Tige Andrews)was solid, and they grew to have much mutual love and respect and affection.
The shows could stretch credulity almost to the breaking point, but the shows dealt with relevant issues, were very entertaining, and well written and well acted.
It is a great treat to watch these episodes again, and we can look forward to the release of the other episodes with great anticipation. - 2007-12-26, 7 of 10 people found this review helpful, Rated:
