The Return of Mod Squad (1979 TV Movie)
4/10
Still cops on a soul beat
1 November 2013
Six years after his prize Mod Squad broke up someone is taking potshots at Tige Andrews. The LAPD chief Simon Scott thinks it has something to do with one of the many busts his cops on a soul beat as the phrase went back in the day so he calls the group back together.

They've really separated themselves from their past lives. Hippie chick Peggy Lipton snagged herself a millionaire husband, Clarence Williams III is now a teacher, and Michael Cole is still rebellious but now a rebellious yuppie.

But the captain calls and they come running. And after that they experience some near death moments and it becomes clear that they are the targets.

Such various folks as Ross Martin, Victor Buono, John Karlen, Tom Ewell are all guest stars. Some of them actually did episodes of The Mod Squad back in the day. But after looking I found no reference to any of the show's episodes in the various arrests recounted here.

In the end it is discovered that the one doing this as a special hard on for Lipton and that's not in the traditional sense. And that person really has a rather stupid reason for hating her.

Recommended strictly for fans of the show.
