My sister, Margie, gave me season one of Barney Miller for Christmas last month. After viewing it, I went out and bought season two.
This has not lost anything through time. It is still relevent today.
An excellent cast.
You know how Hollywood likes to recycle TV shows? This one you can't. Period.
No one could be Fish except Abe Vigoda. And no one could be Yemana except Jack Soo. Both had their own unique quality about the role that could never be duplicated.
A female woman is making an obscene phone call to the precient, making lewd gestures. Fish is on the phone with her.
Fish: If you would like to reach me personally, the number is 555-2391.
Barney: Fish, that's the fire department.
Fish: I know. She's in heat, isn't she?
If you are young enough where you don't remember the men AND women(remember Linda Lavin as Wentworth? She went on to be Alice at Mel's Diner.) of the 12th Precient of the New York City Police Department, do yourself a favor and find it and watch it. And be prepared to laugh.
