Summary of  The Mod Squad Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset

 The Mod Squad is the enormously successful groundbreaking hippie undercover cop show that ran on ABC from September 24, 1968, until August 23, 1973.

They were The Mod Squad (One black, one white, one blond), the hippest and first young undercover cops on TV. Each of these characters represented mainstream culture's principal fears regarding youth in the era:Long-haired rebel Pete Cochran was kicked out of his parents' Beverly Hills home, then arrested and put on probation after he stole a car; African American Linc Hayes was from a family of 13 children and was arrested in the Watts riots, one of the longest and most violent actual riots in Los Angeles history; beautiful flower child Julie Barnes, the canary with a broken wing,was arrested for vagrancy after running away from her prostitute mother's San Francisco home; and Captain Adam Greer was a tough but sympathetic mentor and father figure who convinced them to form the squad.
