"Shaft" is an excellent example of a director getting the most "Bang for the Buck!", pissant. No big names. No budget to speak of. Shot on location. What is considered by many to be the first "Anti-Blaxploitation" film made. Which did well enough at the box-office to generate two lesser sequels.
"The Mod Squad" was mediocre episodic television. Though I thought Tige Andrews was great as Captain Greer!
Jack.
Both better than the Courtship of Eddie's father or Room 222, though!
