 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: The Mod Squad
The Mod Squad quickly developed a reputation for handling socially relevant issues of the day while so much of prime-time fare continued to focus on the inanities of suburban witches, nuns who could fly, bumbling secret agents who talked into their shoes, and the rural adventures of the gentle folk in Hooterville and Mayberry.
