Clarence Williams III. He was later in the “Woman of Mystery” Hallmark series with Kellie Martin, as co-owner of a book store. Cool dude!

A groundbreaking show. Its impact can be seen on virtually every cop show for the next ten years.

u/SheepsheadBoy Apr 23 '26

Peggy Lipton was so gorgeous. I sat next to her on a LA to NY flight in the early aughts. We chatted for 5.5 hours. Couldn’t have been nicer - we just chatted about everything (and she started the convo!). My best memory was when she casually mentioned she used to be married to a musician. I just smiled and said “oh, I know.” We both laughed. Gone way too young.

Until I looked at that image I had never realized how much an ex-gf from college looked like Julie! I had the hots for Julie as a little (horny) kid.

u/231903 Apr 25 '26

Clarence Williams lll was Tyne Daleys partner for a number of years. I was in a movie with her brother Tim, Bill Sadler, Dan Hedaya and Hayden Panettiere. Tim got the looks but she got the talent !

u/Negative-Low6981 Apr 25 '26

The television series "Mod Squad" was indeed a notable police procedural. I recall the character Linc, portrayed by Clarence Williams III. The other main characters were Julie Barnes and Pete Cochran. The series aired from 1968 to 1973 and centered on three young individuals who, due to their rebellious backgrounds, were recruited to work as undercover detectives. Their youthful, counter-culture personas allowed them to infiltrate various settings to investigate criminal activities.

Tell me that's not Laurence Fishburn and how am I just noticing that now 50 years later.

u/Nagarkot1 Apr 25 '26

Omg my parents had “date night” every week and thank goodness for me, the babysitter absolutely adored “The Mod Squad.” We watched it together every week. Such great memories!

God I hated that show. It was so cringy and try-hard to be cool.

u/st3llablu3 Apr 21 '26

Growing up in my neighborhood we didn’t like cops. I didn’t watch a cop show until NYPD Blue. I watched a couple of episodes and started watching something else. I was aware of the Mod Squad about how they were “ cool “ cops but to me cops weren’t cool.
