It took only one season for old-school cop Capt. Greer (Tige Andrews), and his new-school undercover Mod Squad to bridge their generation gap. In the season opener, "The Girl in Chair Nine," a psychic tells Julie (Peggy Lipton) that she has two men in her life; that would be Pete (Michael Cole) and Linc (Clarence Williams III). But there is a third, she corrects him: Capt. Greer. And in the episode, "An Eye for an Eye," the trio get involved when Greer’s new girlfriend is kidnapped, culminating in an emotional scene in which Linc must stop him from crossing the line in confronting a suspect. Later, Greer thankfully proclaims of his young charges, "This is my family." Too touchy-feely? Not to worry; there’s plenty of groovy cop-show action in these 13 solid episodes. As Julie observes at one pont, "When something’s happening, you’ve got to go where it’s at," and the youngsters come to the aid of a Mexican urchin used by two thieves in a series of robberies, try to cool tensions when a black student is killed during a college protest, investigate the murder of a washed-up country singer, and expose a phony healer. One case hits real close to home when Pete is framed for murder. Two welcome returns in this season’s first half are Marvin Kaplan as kindly Sol Alpert (one of the passengers on the ill-fated airplane in the Season One episode, "Flight Five Doesn’t Answer"), whose cousin is revealed to be a bigoted slumlord in "In This Corner-Sol Alpert", and the trio’s trusty Woody station wagon, which has a heroic last hurrah in "The Death of Wild Bill Hannachek." Notable guest stars include Carolyn Jones (The Addams Family) as a woman traumatized by her husband’s suicide in "Lisa," Maurice Evans as a charming con man in "Never Give the Fuzz an Even Break," and a quite fetching Tyne Daly as a waitress in "Hannachek." From a Raquel Welch reference to covers of songs by Poco and Carole King, The Mod Squad is stuck in the ‘60s. But the seamless ensemble lifts it beyond time capsule status. As Capt. Greer says at one point, "Like the kids say, 'It’s something else.'" --Donald Liebenson

4.0 out of 5 stars The Peggy Lipton Show, December 31, 2008

By 

Christopher Edwards (Redlands CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mod Squad - Season 2, Volume 1 (DVD)

I'm surrendering to my temptation to rate this set just below 5 stars, soley base on how many scenes Peggy Lipton is in. She failed to show up much in one episode, so I'm shaving off a star. Seriously, this IS the reason why I'm buying up this series; I haven't outgrown this schoolboy crush I have on Peggy, but I have outgrown much of what television has to offer me. The Mod Squad, however, ..and I'm very surprised by this, doesn't annoy me. It's quiet, charming and has a strong ethical core. In this set you get the abortion issue with a psychic slueth, a charming episode about a family-less mexican boy, capt greer and linc fall in love, a charming con-man, a dangerous quack, and a very adorable Peggy Lipton singing a Carol King tune, country style! What's missing from all these sets so far, is commentary from Clarence Williams. This particular set has no commentary at all; no special features. The soundtrack is original, and the writing is very good. Very well worth a purchase, even if Peggy Lipton isn't the sell.

This review is from: The Mod Squad - Season 2, Volume 1 (DVD)

i'm just fond of this series,back in the late sixties,early seventies the mod squad was the hippest show around;Peggy Lipton was sweet and charming,Clarence Williams the Third so intense and Michael Cole as the rebel of the squad was so cool;speaking of him,"ride the man down"where he's framed for murder is my personnal favorite(with a special appearance of Richard Anderson,"Oscar Goldman himself".Another episode features Monte Markham(Steve Austin's nemesis).the "squad" is so cool,so acting centered it's a must have for all cult series fans.
