I barely recall watching the Mod Squad but i know I did.

I think they called cops the fuzz on the show.

Served a Damn Fine Cherry Pie also.

When I first saw her on Twin Peaks, she looked like she’d hardly aged from Mod Squad. At one point Linc made a cameo appearance on Twin Peaks.

I remember liking Mod Squad a lot, although it felt 60’s campy even back then.

RIP

Fun show back in the day. She was one of my teenage heart-throbs, RIP.

Goodbye Peggy. I loved watching your show The Mod Squad.
Peggy was attractive and elegant, before i knew what that meant.

Decades later (1987), the theme was brought back with a little reshaping. That show was called 21-Jump Street, Starring Johnny Depp. Even back then, Johnny got special treatment and top billing. Dom Deluise had a son who acted in this also Peter Deluise. The only girl was black; Holly Robinson Peete. She still acts sometimes. Was never a big star.

So sad, she was hot. Like Michelle Phillips, Marianne Faithfull, and Susan Dey. I am sad that any of these ladies got old.

[MayflowerMadam]

She was on “Psych” about five years ago, and she looked great.

[Sontagged]

Very sad... people do not know the depths of spiritual batscrazy horrible things actresses like Lipton get into. I pray she found Christ before the end, and that her children find Him now.

RIP, Peggy Lipton.

What are you saying?

[LouAvul]

Yeah, I wondered too. I checked wiki and saw this: "During the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Lipton had relationships with a series of alcoholic, abusive, or married men. During this time, she also used drugs."

Maybe the poster knows things we don't.

Wikipedia is not reliable for anything political but may be correct in this: During the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Lipton had relationships with a series of alcoholic, abusive, or married men. During this time, she also used drugs. Lipton covered some of this period in her memoir "Breathing Out" (2005), co-written by David and Coco Dalton.
