The Mod Squad TV Show Theme Opening Season One

The Mod Squad TV Show Theme Opening Season One. Great quality from DVD source. 1960s Clarence Thomas III Peggy Lipton Michael Cole. The Mod Squad was a police drama that featured three young, hip, crime fighters. One White, One Black, One Blonde, was the promotional hype-line. The casting was intended to appeal to a youthful, counterculture audience. The basic premise was that the youthful investigators were offered work fighting crime as an alternative to being incarcerated themselves. The show's primary gimmick centered on the three cops using their youthful, hippie personas as a guise to get close to the criminals they investigated. The show was moderately popular during its initial run of five seasons and 123 episodes. Tige Andrews (Captain Greer), Michael Cole (Pete Cochran), Peggy Lipton (Julie Barnes), and Clarence Williams III (Linc Hayes) starred. The show portrayed a multicultural society and dealt with issues of racial politics, drug culture, and counterculture.

The show was loosely based on Police Officer Bud Ruskin's experiences in the late 1950s as a squad leader for undercover narcotics cops, though it took almost 10 years after he wrote a script for the idea to be given the greenlight by ABC television studios.

I would definitely rank this among the top ten TV intros of all time, not only do the actors have an anxious look upon their escaping through that dark tunnel, but the high energy music was groundbreaking for the time..five stars!

I'm sure The Mod Squad had an "In Color" intro at the start of every show for the first couple seasons. Anyone know where to find it?

@upperdarbybill Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones are the parents of actress Rashida Jones (of The Social Network, I Love You Man, The Office, etc). You can see qualities of both of their faces in her face.
