The Mod Squad Trivia

The Mod Squad's creator was Buddy Ruskin. Buddy got his inspiration for the Mod Squad from his days as a Los Angeles Sheriff's Department officer who had worked with their special youth narcotics squad.

Aaron Spelling produced this TV show and so many other ones that only a very few of his best known can be listed here. Here they are:
"Johnny Ringo (1959)", "Daniel Boone (1964)", "The Mod Squad (1968)", "The Rookies (1972)", "Starsky and Hutch (1975)", "Charlie's Angels (1976)", "The Love Boat (1977)", "Fantasy Island (1978)", "Hart to Hart (1979)", "Dynasty (1981)", "T.J. Hooker (1982)", "Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990)", "Melrose Place (1992)", "7th Heaven (1996)", "Charmed (1998)".

Pete Cochran's car was a 1950 Mercury Woody station wagon. In episode #35, "The Death of Wild Bill Hannacheck", the old car burned up!

If you wanted to see a series that took the 60s culture to the extreme, The Mod Squad was the show for you! Bell bottom jeans with flowers sewed on, lava lamps, afro haircuts, and everything else was "groovy" "man"! Even the show's organ music was played in a very hip, psychedelic manner!

The Mod Squad was nominated for an Emmy in 1970 for "Outstanding Dramatic Series" but "Marcus Welby, M.D." won the award.

The only one of the four main Cast who got a regular role on another series after The Mod Squad was Peggy Lipton who played "Norma Jennings" on the series, "Twin Peaks". Tige Andrews did have a couple of other series before The Mod Squad, however. Those roles were "Private Gander" on "Sergeant Bilko" (aka: "The Phil Silvers Show") and "Detective Lieutenant Johnny Russo" on "The Detectives".
