Love is everywhere… except in the cold, hard hearts of Beverly Hills’ super wealthy parents. It’s a theme The Mod Squad can’t hammer home enough, and in Season 1, Episode 10 — “Love” — Pete’s neglected cousin has had enough on her 18th birthday. When being part of a burglary duo doesn’t get mother and dad’s attention, she kidnaps her infant brother. Will Pete, Linc and Julie be able to straighten it all out? Solid.

Excellent guest star of the episode: Isabel Sanford! Hey Weezy!

S2, Episode 3: The Mod Squad

In Season 1, Episode 3 of The Mod Squad, Julie, Linc and Pete get pulled into a mysterious caper — yes, we said caper — by an affable but dangerous criminal Pete met while going undercover in prison.

A couple groovy buses, some really bad trips, some far-out hippies, and a lot of costumes for Captain Greer, the Squad prevails. That’s not a spoiler, you knew they would.

Julie is now three for three with bad, dangerous criminals showing up at her groovy pad. Time to get a security system. Or at least a peephole.

S2, Episode 2: The Mod Squad

In “Bad Man on Campus,” Linc, Julie and Pete go undercover at a high school to find out why a popular teacher ended up dead under a pier. No, they’re not going to fink on kids! Come on! They want to find out who the adults who are using the kids for their own criminal purposes are.

One groovy highlight: Linc, undercover as a history teacher, gets some very racist blowback from the kids in class, particularly the trouble-making ringleader. He finally blows his cool, saying to the kid with steely anger: “Hey, now that’s a big mouth, friend. How would you like me to come down and put my foot in it?”

Solid, Linc!

S2, Episode 1: The Mod Squad

Welcome to Season 2 of Groovy Tube! In our first episode we take you through, almost line-by-line, the September 1968 pilot of The Mod Squad, “In the Teeth of the Barracuda.” Don’t ask us what it means, we don’t know either.

Over this season we’ll take you episode-by-episode through the ground-breaking show, which had a major impact on our lives. We’ll discuss the actors, plots and stories behind the series, which ran from 1968 to 1973.

It’s definitely very solid, man.
