Younger looking than they were, these three police officers were able to earn the confidence of the bad guys, infiltrate their domain, and then bust their backsides while still looking good.Miami Vice was still a decade away. The Mod Squad paved the way for hip and happening PO-lice on TV!

The show was pretty good for its time and probably holds up better than a lot of TV shows from back then.I've just finished watching the complete DVD set.Here are my random observations:• They didn't disguise street signs, so it's still possible to find some of the locations beyond the studio lot. Similarly, some of the phone numbers were "real" – not fake 555's. Many of the city scenes were shot on the same studio lot (Paramount), with generic business signs serving as poor disguises. (If you binge, watch for the mailbox and everything else will reveal itself.)• Cars back then (late 60s-early 70s) were aircraft carriers, and no one knew how to drive them. Even in situations with no urgency whatsoever, tires screeched. Seat belts? Nah!• Day or night, inside or outside, Pete and Linc were usually wearing sunglasses. What's more, they – and Julie (every 13-year-old boy's imaginary girlfriend) – were almost always wearing at least one piece of white clothing. Yet despite all sorts of night skulking and doing spectacular dives off balconies to tackle bad guys, they almost never got dirty.• Different story with interior walls, which were notably FILTHY – never washed or repainted, and with fingerprints everywhere. (Probably not as visible on tiny TVs back in the day, but very obvious on a big screen today.)• Cell phones would have made a HUGE difference in the stories, where characters often had to find a phone booth or were unable to make contact (let alone quickly Google something or use a GPS). The loudest noise in many episodes was the sound of a wired telephone ringing. Oh, and there were telephone booths all over the place – often serving as important meeting or spying posts. Amazingly, everyone always had a pocketful of change to make calls.• Security cameras would've helped a lot, too. Overall, security wasn't anything like it is today. Anybody could walk right to the gate at the airport. Locks sucked: everybody picked them all the time, especially Pete and Linc without warrants. Nobody ever bothered to ask who was at the door (or look through a peephole) before simply opening it – which rarely worked out well.• Before the Internet came along, the Captain simply knew stuff without looking it up. Consider this unlikely bit that came out of thin air: "Julie, there's more than 2,000 pharmacies in the West Valley!"• Somehow Pete, Julie, Linc and the Captain were always all able to finagle low-level jobs (waiters, parking valets, etc.) on very short notice, just to be on site when something bad was going to happen. The Captain's go-to undercover gig was downright absurd: selling ice cream from a truck.• Linc almost never smiled. It’s entirely possible that in some scenes, they simply used a cardboard cutout of Clarence Williams III.• Everybody except Pete, Linc and Julie smoked constantly, and ashtrays were everywhere.• You'd almost believe that everyone lived at Julie's apartment, including the Captain, because it was where they always gathered outside the office.• Clothes – bell bottoms, fringes, lots of colors – may have been accurate but were exaggerated for dramatic effect (hippies!). Neckties were large enough to park those huge cars on.• After five seasons, they finally ran out of never-before-mentioned best friends/lovers/close family members/cellmates who suddenly turned up in trouble and led Pete, Linc and Julie to follow leads over the Captain's objections - although inevitably the people turned out to be miraculously part of a case the Captain was already pursuing. What are the odds, in a city where the population was then roughly three million people?• People who became near and dear to the trio during an episode were pretty much never heard from again, although in one notable episode in the final season Julie had a flashback to a baby that she'd helped the previous season. (The baby itself was notable because in the original episode, it inexplicably tripled in size in mere hours – no doubt the result of an "any baby will do, so just wrap the kid in a blanket" approach by a casting director not worried about continuity.)• In general, the music was terrible but trying to be cool (bleating saxophones, bad surf guitar, cheap organ) and seemed overly influenced by Theme From Shaft. There was one remarkable exception: the CLOSING theme ("Theme From the Mod Squad" aka "Alone Too Long" by Shorty Rogers) was an amazingly moody fragment, way too good for the show itself, I thought. It changed a bit from week to week but was always a haunting instrumental. (Good thing, too, because the version released in 1968 by The MODernaires included vocals. Yuck.)• Remember how Mannix got shot every single week? Similarly, every Mod Squad episode included at least one huge fistfight, and more than a few shows ended with Pete and Linc leaving the perps abandoned in an unconscious heap with no sign of uniformed officers on the way to make actual arrests.• Night watchmen always patrolled with flashlights. Never, ever did they turn on the lights.• It rained much more often in Mod Squad episodes than it ever did when I lived in LA.• Guest stars included Andy Griffith, Bobby Sherman, Richard Dreyfuss, Tyne Daly, Yvonne Craig, Lesley Ann Warren, Carolyn Jones, Ida Lupino, Ed Begley, Richard Anderson, Vincent Price, Margot Kidder, Milton Berle, Carl Betz, Leslie Nielsen, Fritz Weaver, Robert Duvall, Tom Bosley, Dwayne Hickman, Ivan Dixon, Ray Walston, Jim Backus, Leslie Uggams, Vic Tayback, David Cassidy, Sammy Davis Jr, Stefanie Powers, Richard Pryor, Harrison Ford, Barry Williams (playing a kid selling newspapers on a street corner!), Ed Asner, Robert Reed, Cesar Romero and Sam Elliott – in some cases easily recognizable and in others not so much.• Pretty much every episode ended on a pier with Pete, Julie, Linc and the Captain all laughing at a very unfunny joke or solemnly talking about a just-finished case, with Linc often getting the last word: "Solid." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great series *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2023* great product enjoyed watching the series ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good condition, thank you *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023* Home use, THANK YOU --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3431660-the-mod-squad-the-complete-collection-39dvd](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3431660-the-mod-squad-the-complete-collection-39dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
