Guest Star Triple Crown winner: Love Boat/Fantasy Island/Murder She Wrote.

Some would say that is more of an achievement than an EGOT.

RIP

Never liked him. Acting and looks were average at best.

R7 That's what I thought but turns out Peggy Lipton was only 4 years younger. R8 is right he was a dud but at the time having a mixed race cast was edgy and baby boomer catnip.

An early Aaron Spelling hit. Sort of a precursor to "21 Jump Street."

Michael Cole was famous in Australia for a long time after Mod Squad for this performance on live TV in 1973.

I note the comments suggest he was drunk, but the word at the time was that weed was the main issue.

"I had an infection: it's called emotion!" should be inscribed on his tombstone.

Loved The Mod Squad back in the day. Now all three of them are dead. Sad.

May they all RIP.
