ABOUT
A cop show hailed for both its inspired lunacy and remarkable realism, Emmy® Award–winning Barney Miller is a humanistic and comical look into the daily grind of a police squad in New York’s Greenwich Village. Beginning in 1974 and continuing for eight acclaimed seasons, the unforgettable detectives of the 12th Precinct took on everything from domestic disputes to suicide bombers to bad coffee. The plain, cramped squad room of Barney Miller played host to a glorious array of American oddballs — perps and victims alike — and the officers met them with patience and paperwork.
New York’s finest include the cool and collected Captain Barney Miller (Hal Linden) and his squad of detectives featuring the dryly miserable, intestinally-challenged Fish (Abe Vigoda), the burley and boyish Wojo (Max Gail), the coffee-killer Yemana (Jack Soo), the fiery Chano (Gregory Sierra), the dapper and hip Harris (Ron Glass) and the encyclopedic, deadpan Dietrich (Steve Landesberg). With a criminally talented assortment of guest stars, Barney Miller pulls comic rank on every cop show ever made. |
