[Vision2020] Bad 70s TV shows

[Carl Westberg]

In putting together the playlist for Sunday's worst songs of the 1970s 
program that Joan and I will be doing Sunday, I couldn't help but think of 
some bad TV shows of the same era.  Which led, naturally, to "The Mod 
Squad", which (dis)graced the airwaves from 1968-1973.  Remember, if you're 
old enough to have watched it, how Clarence Williams III, in his role as 
Linc Hayes, constantly used the word "solid"?  Five years on the air, and 
that word never caught on with the general public.  Of course, it was up 
against "far out", and "groovy", and the venerable "cool".  I think the time 
has come, in honor of Linc Hayes and "The Mod Squad" to give "solid" another 
try.  Next time someone tells you, for instance, that it's going to be 
almost 70 degrees today, instead of saying "wow" or "cool", try "solid" 
instead.  It deserves its day in the sun.
