Michael Cole

Michael Cole plays Pete Cochran on The Mod Squad, Aaron Spelling’s late-1960s youth-crime franchise: one Black, one white, one blonde, three young undercover cops with records fighting the system from inside. Clarence Williams III and Peggy Lipton share the poster; Cole’s Pete is the white-boy cool the hour needed to sell the dare. Late-sixties social issues rode along in the car.

Michael Cole treats The Mod Squad as the whole overlay — Pete Cochran, ABC, 1968–1973 — the chair the hour still uses. Michael Cole is the temperature ABC actually had to cast for the 1968–1973 run. Watch Michael Cole for craft — Pete Cochran as architecture on a dated ABC hour. Leave other credits in the other tab. Michael Cole is busy on The Mod Squad.

Michael Cole's first code is s01e01 because Pete Cochran is already the job. The Teeth of the Barracuda is the 1968 poster: Cole, Williams, Lipton as young undercovers with records, fighting the system from inside. Michael Cole turns at s02e01: The Girl in Chair Nine opens season two still selling youth-crime as franchise — late-sixties social issues riding along. Michael Cole is still the weather at s03e11 — The Judas Trap — mid-run title as betrayal grammar, the trio still photographed like a poster while the casework ticks.

Establishment television dressed as a youth movement. Cole sells the undercover as a photograph that still works. On TV Flash he is 1960s catalog voltage — the Cochran who made a squad look like a poster, and the reason the hour still photographs as a franchise instead of a lecture in bell-bottoms.
