Classic TV Theme: Mod Squad
I still remember the promos: 'One black, one white, one blonde.' This show, one of the first to tackle a number of then-current social issues, was a new perspective on police procedurals. '21 Jump Street' owes a lot to this show's concept of using troubled youths as undercover cops. It ran for five seasons, garnering critical plaudits and a few awards along the way. After the show ended Michael Cole had a decent but not spectacular career in films and tv. His autobiography was called 'I Played the White Guy'. Peggy Lipton, who character was described as 'a canary with a broken wing', married Quincy Jones and took a hiatus from acting to concentrate on raising her children and music. In later years she would have a key role in both 'Twin Peaks' and its revival series. Clarence Williams III continued his acting career in films and tv (he also had a role in 'Twin Peaks'). Eventually he would be cast as the bookstore employee with a mysterious top-secret past in the 'Mystery Woman' movie series with Kellie Martin. In one of them he was reunited with Michael Cole. As Danny Thomas was one of Mod Squad's producers, it's no surprise that Earle Hagen provided the theme. The show's opening changed little over five seasons, but there were at least two different versions of the three officers running away from...something. How many differences can you spot? Both opens included along with the end credits.
