The Mod Squad is a police drama that features 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 premise 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. The show portrayed a multicultural society and dealt with issues of racial politics, drug culture, and counterculture.The series earned six Emmy Award nominations, four Golden Globe nominations plus one win for Peggy Lipton, one Directors Guild of America Award, and four Logies.
