MOD SQUAD

The original groundbreaking TV show's Mod Squad consisted of three troubled kids (NOT indicative of the 5 kids pictured here) who were on probation when they were approached by L.A.'s police captain to form a special youth squad to catch adult crime-lords who preyed on young kids. Being from the Flower-Children era (indicative of the 5 kids pictured here), they didn't carry guns; instead they wore beads and hip clothing and used slang word like "groovy", "solid", and "keep the faith." The show ran on ABC for five years between 1968 and 1973, and was produced by Aaron Spelling (his breakthrough hit.)


Can you name all of the "groovy" members of our "solid" Mod Squad who were photoed in 1970 at this lantern-lit psychedelic pad?

I know them all except the one in red. I can't get the picture to maximize so I'll wait for others to guess.

I know three of them, Rana, Mona and Stan but I'll guess the other two are Sheryl Stotler and Steve Patton. Just a guess cause I can't get the pic to maximize either.

If this picture was taken in 1970 and the one at the bottom was taken in 1968, Rana sure did grow up in two years.

Linda....the buton ups are workable.....ya just don't wanna wait too long when it's time to go......of course manipulating them when you're inebriated can be a challenge....& good reason to wait even less.....;-)
