During a 1995 interview with Terry Gross on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air," Clarence Williams III poked a bit of gentle fun at the formulaic nature of some of The Mod Squad's plots: "I could always tell when the writers were having difficulty coming up with a different show for us. Because they would always bring out the old chestnuts. Well, there's two chestnuts you would bring out when the writers were having a little trouble. One is that the police commissioners complain to Captain Greer that these young kids are running around. So you'd do that show about two times a season. And then toward the end of the year when we're running low on funds because a few of the shows would go over-budget, there'd always be some kind of murder at a theatrical studio, so we could shoot one on the lot without going on location. So always some movie star who got knocked off, or some makeup person who got knocked off, and the Mod Squad was brought in undercover and so we'd wind up being a grip or a makeup person, or something or other, or a script supervisor, and we'd solve the case. Because that meant we could not go off the lot for that particular episode, because we [usually} used to shoot four days off and three days in."
