->''"In an attempt to crack down on crime, the Police Department
has created an elite new team, a team that speaks the language
of the streets. Young, hip, in touch with the Now
Generation...Funky Squad."''  ''Funky Squad'' was a hit show set
in TheSeventies. What? You mean you missed it? Completely? Well,
here's the deal...  In reality, it was an Australian comedy
series created in 1995 as a parody of shows like
''Series/TheModSquad'' where the cops hire a group (in this
case, four) of hip undercover cops. Who, in this case, are all
wearing bad wigs and hopelessly 1970s fashions.  Compare
''{{Series/Danger 5}}'', another Australian parody of '60's spy
shows, as well as ''Series/GarthMarenghisDarkplace'', a British
show with a similar premise about '80s supernatural dramas. The
characters were: * Joey Alvarez (Santo Cilauro) as "Stix", the
cool one of the bunch. Wears a FunnyAfro. * Blair Steele (Tim
Ferguson) as "Grant", the leader. * Verity Svenson-Hart (Jane
Kennedy) as "Cassie", a typical 70's feminist *
