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?

"You got a little splainin to do, Lucy!"



This note was found with Sheri's collection of school photos. We have a couple of questions for Sheri:

(1) Who were the members of the Advice Giving Council?

(2) How did this license work out for you?
