The Mod Couple
Sunday, October 31st, 2010
By the time The Mod Squad ended its five-season run, I was just about ready to turn two years old. So I never got to watch it during its first run, nor did it ever seem to air in reruns in my area, and I’ve never checked out the DVDs. I’m sure that its hip, mod, whatever-you-call-it style would seem wildly antiquated these days, so I will probably never choose to explore it.

But by noon, we were ready to proceed pretty much our normal route, finishing up in Adventureland and moving back into Frontierland. We started out at the Country Bear Jamboree, whose next performance was beginning just as we walked up to its front doors.
