One of the detectives brings a box of brownies from a "friend" of his. All the guys sample them several times and discover they have hash in them. The result is hilarious as it all unfolds.
My dad, a financial business man, had a side job as a reservist at the County Sheriff's Office. He LOVED this show! He said, "Whoever writes for this show has hung around a police station." We still love it after all this time.
Spending 20+ years as a jail guard and a prison officer I guarantee you this is more accurate . Like the time the jail commander sent me and my co-worker out to burn some evidence ( pot ) . lol After we were done we ate a whole bag of licorice .
Still watch Barney Miller every night here in Phx from 8-9pm on local cable. That old guy zip,bam,boom.. Love Fish's line. First time i feel great and it has to be illegal!
Tbh every episode gave all of the cast members a chance to shine. Every character always either had a great storyline or just plain great lines in just about every episode.
The actor who played Harris NAILED IT acting high. Not over the top, but just cool and thinking he was funnier and more philosophical than normal. And just a bit goofy.
Not only a classic episode of Barney Miller, but a classic episode in the history of all TV sitcoms. This show had a fantastic ensemble cast, with characters -and actors- who complimented each other so very well. I miss TV shows like this; Barney Miller, WKRP In Cincinnati, Taxi, Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H*... It was a wonderful time for television comedy. Oh...and one last thing: “Mushy-Mushy”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love this show. This is if not my favorite one of my favorite episodes. I still watch the reruns. Mushy mushy. Have u seen my legs.if I cant drive a car I better not drive a bus lol
I love this program and this episode is hilarious!@!!! So many funnies with a lot of great actors!!! Mushy, mushy! "Hey Barn, If I can't drive a car...... I better not drive a bus"....
0:18 What makes this scene so funny is Barney’s reaction to Nick singing. The look of surprise on his face is completely hilarious! I’m pretty sure Barney was just filling out paperwork on his desk, then he starts hearing Nick sing. his first thought is “hold on he never sings somethings wrong”. Lol 😆
Everything in this scene was perfect! Not over acted or over articulated. Today's version there would've been another sober character asking too many questions. And that would've thrown off the other actors comedic timing. This scene is just seamless.
Nick had a nice singing voice. Fun fact: The actor who played Nick, Jack Soo, was in the movie version of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, Flower Drum Song. It was one of the first American movies that featured an all Asian cast; sort of a proto-Crazy Ritch Asians. I remember him singing in a duet called 'Sunday, Sweet Sunday' with his love interest, a showgirl played by this gorgeous Asian-American actress by the name of Nancy Kwan.
This show was always one of my very favorite sitcoms. This and All in the family? Along with Taxi. All great sitcoms as was ? Threes Company too. But Barney Miller? And the squad room at the old ?.... 1. 2 precinct of the great N.Y.P.D. Thanks for sharing this classic.
Someone took a poll of the NYPD years back to find out what NYC police felt was the most realistic police show on television. "Barney Miller" won. The feeling was that the manner in which the drudgery of daily police work was portrayed as well as the shabby working environment, the stupidity of NYPD upper brass and the crazy people who would walk in was the most accurate.
amazing! now several yeas later I am sure things have changed a lot. one thing i found really unbelievable that when someone walks in , one of the officers would always say' can i help you or something like that. And barney himself would often offer a hand and offer help...theres not that much personal interaction anymore. of course things were much simpler back then.
@@jessiejames7492 simpler, less complicated, but people were more connected back then. now, everything is so mechanical, automated with virtually no personal interaction. sad.
The reality of course is The Simpsons. They have the most accurate representation of police. But the cartoon characters are way less racist than real life police.
@snipe69 Don't forget, one of the staff writers on BARNEY MILLER was Rhinehold Weegee, future showrunner of NIGHT COURT. Some of the character actors from BM went on to guest star on NC. God, I miss old school comedy...🇵🇷🇺🇸🤣🦂
Everyone should also watch the WKRP ep where Venus & Johnny were doing a drunk test on the air with a local trooper. It'll make you laugh as much as this did!
This was one of my favorite favorite shows in the 80s I never missed a show! The satire was perfect, the actors fit their roles very well. When you stop to think about it most of the episodes were in one room one place, and you would’ve never thought of that because how they came across and brought us great joy and unbelievable humor! I truly enjoy watching the reruns never gets old, thank you
I have seen this MANY MANY TIMES AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN HARRIS AND NICK MAKES ME GUT BUST LAUGH...LOVE IT WHEN HARRIS SAYS “ THATS BEAUTIFUL MAN” HE AND NICK HAD GREAT CHEMISTRY!! ALL THE SHOWS FROM THE 70’s absolutely kill me laughing!!!
Very first episode I watched which got me hooked on the series. Though this series was far over by the time Night Court came around, it would have nice to see all of them reprise their role for a cross-over episode.
A great show. There were a few characters interjected during its run that didn't fit in and luckily removed. Abe, Jack, Tim and Hal a great combination that even when scripts were weak their diversity and humorous interjections made them work. We'll always remember Wojo, Fish, Barney, Harris and Yemana. Whether Florence or George, Archie and Edith, Chico and the Man, Al Bundy's disfunctionals, the time of class TV entertainment has past.
😸 Ahhh! I love Jack Soo! AND Ron Glass! Both superb actors. AND Hal Linden, ditto. 😏 Fantastic show, cast, writers, production. Jack was my favorite, though. I remember being so sad when he passed, and also being sad when I heard the show was not renewed. This show and WKRP in Cincinnati were so awesome. Thanks for posting this vid. (man, I'm old!) 😏 💕
I love it mushee mushee one of the best shows In my time these guys are great writers are awesome we need show’s like this Jack Soo you are missed Rip my friend. I would watch this show with my mom she loved this show got to buy the DVD’s
I think this clip was great but anyone else that's enjoyed this clip you should now go and find a clip from the same episode featuring fish it's really awesome
Thery used to show this really late at night here when it was on...I was just flipping through the channels before turning the tv off and going to bed when I accidentally saw a bit...watched it till the end and never missed an episode afterwards.
A scene from this episode not seen in this clip was the perp coming in raving about how FISH, who was high, chased the him, jumping from roof top to roof top! Fish yells "Ya think you're playing with kids???!!!"
CLASSIC...........................Reminds me of Taxi...when guy was given to the answer, to the driving test...do slow...So he aske's the question again ..go slow...so he says S L O W..
Wow. That scene from Taxi ran through my mind as well. Go figure, since Yamana asking if anyone saw his legs and Rev. Jim asking what a yellow light means were the rare times where I actually belly-laughed from a sitcom.
There's an episode where they have to take Barney's badge away for something (can't remember). Inspector Luger "Who is your second in command?" Barney "That would be Nick." Nick "Oh god!"
The funniest episode ever. Fish chasing after criminals jumping roofs and acting like a teenager. One thing the episode taught me: Don't eat anyone's brownies except you own or from the bakery or Little Debbie Brownies.
I love how Harris is stoned, and the look on his face when he's watching Nick sing. He's very amused.
My dad, a financial business man, had a side job as a reservist at the County Sheriff's Office. He LOVED this show! He said, "Whoever writes for this show has hung around a police station." We still love it after all this time.

All in such good homour for the 70's... WELL DONE, GENTELMEN OF THE 12TH PRECINCT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CAPTIAN BARNEY MILLER .... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ron Glass sating “Sharp as a tack” always cracks me up.
The actor who played Harris NAILED IT acting high. Not over the top, but just cool and thinking he was funnier and more philosophical than normal. And just a bit goofy.
Ron Glass.
I like the way Harris analyzed the brownies.
THE episode on TAXI about the coca cookies was hilarious too. the way REV JIM analysed the origins of the coca plant used in the cookie.
@@jessiejames7492 Of the two (Harris and Rev Jim), Rev Jim is the expert. ;-D
@@TairnKA funnier too. you could see it on Danny De Vitos face. that was real.
Best by taste test!
Not that way!!
"Whaddya say we guys go down to the beach and shoot some clams?" That absolutely kills me, this is my favorite episode!!!
Absolutely. Jack Soo was great.
I still say this when i'm really buzzed.
"I can take him home, Barn. but I'm never gonna feel better"!
Not only a classic episode of Barney Miller, but a classic episode in the history of all TV sitcoms.
This show had a fantastic ensemble cast, with characters -and actors- who complimented each other so very well. I miss TV shows like this; Barney Miller, WKRP In Cincinnati, Taxi, Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H*...
It was a wonderful time for television comedy.
Oh...and one last thing:
“Mushy-Mushy”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taxi
Moshi moshi!
Love this show. This is if not my favorite one of my favorite episodes. I still watch the reruns. Mushy mushy. Have u seen my legs.if I cant drive a car I better not drive a bus lol
I love this program and this episode is hilarious!@!!! So many funnies with a lot of great actors!!! Mushy, mushy! "Hey Barn, If I can't drive a car......
I better not drive a bus"....
Jack Soo, a wonderful, wonderful actor! He gave me so many hilarious laughing moments. Sir, you are missed so very much!!
MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE EPISODE, OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOW!!
RIP Detective Harris (Ron Glass).
Just heard. I loved that character.
Omg no really?!? He was so funny..
Nick: "Can you spell cat?"
Levitt: "Excuse me?"
Nick: "Cat! Damnit! We need guys with experience up here"
Hehheheeh
my favorite exchange ever....
Barney: Harris Take him home
Harris: Yes Sir
Leavitt: C-A-T cat
Barney: very good sit down
0:18 What makes this scene so funny is Barney’s reaction to Nick singing. The look of surprise on his face is completely hilarious! I’m pretty sure Barney was just filling out paperwork on his desk, then he starts hearing Nick sing. his first thought is “hold on he never sings somethings wrong”. Lol 😆
Jack Soo was the first non African American to record with Motown with the song " For Once in My Life" , made famous by Stevie Wonder.
I end up on the floor. laughing I miss this kinda comedy
"Take these things, have them analyzed" "Not like that!!!" LOL
I love it when Nick says Let's go down the beach and shoot some clams.😆
Jack soo he was so funny I just wish he never die
Jack Soo should have won an emmy for this episode
🙏🤝🤙😎😅🍓✌👌
What a great cast I never missed a show
Jack Soo was so funny!! So glad we have these clips!
I 😍 Barney's facial expressions.
This was a brilliant episode, but the whole show was so much fun. They don't make TV shows like they used to, that's for sure.
Everything in this scene was perfect! Not over acted or over articulated.
Today's version there would've been another sober character asking too many questions.
And that would've thrown off the other actors comedic timing.
This scene is just seamless.

If they use this show as a model for other cop shows they would have a hit
An episode today , Would include cursing, Sex, And something about computers,, And not even be half as Funny,,,

I enjoy being a girl. Dean Martin lampooned it onstage
Old lady: "Gambling is such a waste of time." Nick: "Ya gotta apply yourself!"
Funniest episode ever! Mushy Mushy! 😂😂😂
i think its cute
👍
Technically, when you say "moshi moshi," you're politely saying "I'm going to talk" twice. But it feels more like, "Hey, dude."
@@darinsingleton3553 oh i didint know that
The BEST Episode!
This is one show I could watch now and it would be just as funny as back in the day.
I still love this show!! When jack soo passed away the show was never quite the same.
Not the same but still perfection. The ensemble as a whole was so amazing.
This show was always one of my very favorite sitcoms. This and All in the family? Along with Taxi. All great sitcoms as was ? Threes Company too. But Barney Miller? And the squad room at the old ?.... 1. 2 precinct of the great N.Y.P.D. Thanks for sharing this classic.

I'll have to check that out
That episode was brilliant.
Yes!!! Second favorite next to the Thanksgiving episode!

Okay Barn, i'll go home . But i ain't never gonna feel no better.😂😂😂
Yemana singing the theme from Brigadoon is classic.
👏🤝😉👌✌
His last line in Barney Miller was "I have nothing to add". It is also reported in his Biography that was also his last words spoken before dying
it was, something about the coffee.
Your kidding, ....right....???!?
NYPD officers often said that this was one of the most realistic TV cop shows.
What “NYPD officers” ? Where? Give me one citation. Just one.
Adam-12 I guess was #2?
Jack Soo absolutely great...this episode is one of the best, if not THE BEST!!!! 👍👍👍😀🤗
Hey man, sharp as a tack!
Very first episode I watched which got me hooked on the series. Though this series was far over by the time Night Court came around, it would have nice to see all of them reprise their role for a cross-over episode.
Absolutely love that show
love this show
"hey, sharp as a tack" I remember seeing that originally.
If I remember correctly, when Fish and Wojciehowicz enter their suspect is exclaiming how fast "that old man"(?) could catch up and tackle him? ;-)
😂
That was correct...One of my fave Fish moments of all time!
agreed
Yea. "WHADDAYA THINK? YOURE PLAYING WITH KIDS??" That line from Fish cracks me up.
Definitely in the top five best sitcoms of all-time.
When tv was actually good
Jack Soo was a singer!
Very Chekovian...writers earned every dime they were paid.
More intense
One of the funniest episodes in a funny show
"I heard it...it goes Squish Squish" lmfaaooooo
Lol
" Can you spell cat?" Classic! Great show!
The hash episode was freaking halarious!
1:27 "NOT THAT WAY!"
That always cracks me up!!!!!
Back in the day, when tv was good, every hit sitcom had an episode that was non-stop laughs. This was Barney Miller's episode! 🤣
As good as jim getting his license on... taxi.... And the turkey episode on ......WKRP in Cincinatti
YESSS it was you🙄😉😎🤞🤙🍎👀
What does the yellow light mean? Slow down. Whhhaatt dddooeess. 😄 I actually like The Fish Story episode on WKRP.
Another good episode of W K R P The Pig/ Drunk Test On Air Venus got smashed & Johnny Fever was good
As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly.
They started an episode by expressing the loss of Nick... I’ve never seen a show do that before or since!!!!
This is the funniest show! Way ahead of time and wish they continue after they moved to another place. I still watch it every night!
😢
Anybody seen my legs..
They're about this long. LOL
At about 1:43 you can see Hal Linden trying not to laugh out loud...Loved this show as a kid....
One of my favorite episodes
Barny's expression. This was the funniest episode. I still occasionally quote the great Jack Soo, "Mushy, mushy."
Legendary episode an since I am from evansville in. Ron Glass never forgot us.
A great show. There were a few characters interjected during its run that didn't fit in and luckily removed. Abe, Jack, Tim and Hal a great combination that even when scripts were weak their diversity and humorous interjections made them work. We'll always remember Wojo, Fish, Barney, Harris and Yemana. Whether Florence or George, Archie and Edith, Chico and the Man, Al Bundy's disfunctionals, the time of class TV entertainment has past.
It's all genitalia & butt humor, with partisan political crap smeared all over.
Don't forget Dietrich, Leavitt and Luger.
Hash and the episode that had the Vampire in it they are the funniest episodes among many.
You got to see Jack Soo's talent as a singer and comedian.
Love this episode still to this day makes me laugh...
Nick: “Whadda say we guys go down to the beach and shoot some clams”.
That line absolutely slays me.
🤣🤣😂😂😂
😸 Ahhh! I love Jack Soo! AND Ron Glass! Both superb actors. AND Hal Linden, ditto. 😏 Fantastic show, cast, writers, production. Jack was my favorite, though. I remember being so sad when he passed, and also being sad when I heard the show was not renewed. This show and WKRP in Cincinnati were so awesome. Thanks for posting this vid. (man, I'm old!) 😏 💕
Seriously. I'm crying.
tv simply does not get any better than this.
My favorite episode.
I loved this back in the day, thank you for video.
Ah this episode is one of the funniest Episodes.... with the exception of " THE ESCAPE ARTIST " THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!! THANK YOU ' MR. ARNOLD ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This will always be my favorite episode!

The video starts 30 to a minute seconds too late...
Still funny, and thanks for uploading this classic clip.
What’s happenin’ baby? My favorite episode.
This is my favorite show. Sad they did not continue the show. All the actors were great
Nick and Harris are the true king of comedy after getting stone by the browines
This show brings back so many great memories,,,,❤
"Anybody seen my legs?" Every once in a while when I walk into a room ill drop this one, just to see who gets it.
I think this clip was great but anyone else that's enjoyed this clip you should now go and find a clip from the same episode featuring fish it's really awesome
Best show ever
mushy mushy!!!
🤝🤙😎🤞🍎🍒🍓✌
Thery used to show this really late at night here when it was on...I was just flipping through the channels before turning the tv off and going to bed when I accidentally saw a bit...watched it till the end and never missed an episode afterwards.
Love this show. Have it on DVD
"How's Nick?"
"I like him."
What A Fantastic Episode ❤ It.
Mushy mushy.
A scene from this episode not seen in this clip was the perp coming in raving about how FISH, who was high, chased the him, jumping from roof top to roof top!
Fish yells "Ya think you're playing with kids???!!!"
and I made a pig of my self .
LMAO
A pig test it before you jump in it
Great show
CLASSIC...........................Reminds me of Taxi...when guy was given to the answer, to the driving test...do slow...So he aske's the question again ..go slow...so he says S L O W..

This episode and Chuckles the Clown from Mary Tyler Moore are the funniest half hours of all time.
There's an episode where they have to take Barney's badge away for something (can't remember).
Inspector Luger "Who is your second in command?"
Barney "That would be Nick."
Nick "Oh god!"
