Troubled young adults became hippie undercover cops in this popular drama. The trio comprised a monied longhair from Beverly Hills, an Afroed son of Watts and the comely daughter of a San Francisco hooker, who were recruited by a police captain for the covert unit. Series creator Bud Ruskin, a former LAPD cop, based the show on his experiences working with a special youth squad in the 1950s. The cast reunited for a TV-movie in 1979; 20 years later, a big-screen remake flopped.

Tige Andrews, Emmy-nominated in 1970 for his role as The Mod Squad's Capt. Adam Greer, died on Jan. 27 of cardiac arrest, at his home in the San Fernando Valley. He was 86. Recalling her father's legacy, Barbara Andrews, one of his six children, tells the Associated Press, "He felt the show made a big difference, because it was one of the first television series to address social issues — such as drugs, prostitution and teen pregnancy — that were hush-hush before that time." read more
