The other night I saw a repeat on Antenna TV where everybody gets a paycheck but Fish. So he calls personnel and tells Barney "You're not gonna believe this, but according to their records I'm dead. Now I have to go down there an prove to them that I'm alive...and that's not gonna be easy!"
The sitcoms of the 1970's & early 80's were my favorites, excellence in both writing & acting. I was a huge fan of Barney Miller, from the pilot right up to watching Hal Linden turning out the lights & closing the door on the "Old 1-2". My mom actually cried during most of the series finale, I know that I sure as hell felt like it myself. You just don't get excellent shows like that anymore..........
The good ol days of solid jolly humorous TV series... All in the family, Barney Miller, Cincinnati's Radio WQRP...Great stuff ....Here I am back again someone tagged me so I must offer three wishes...#1 I want Barney and the gang back #2 I want Loni Anderson #3 I still want Loni Anderson...Those were some fine Times in television... But you know of course it was the actors that made these shows what they were, and to all of them our prayers and thanks...
You see many of the extras playing different roles in Barney Miller and over the years always at your very best. Every one involved at making or performing Barney Miller you are at the top of your craft.
I'm 72, in my twenties when Barney Miller was in first run. Still watch reruns now. It's still on my top10 favorites list. This hookers compilation is classic!
The red head in the second scene (the "hoofer") later landed on a hit sitcom with Ted Knight - "Too Close for Comfort" IIRC. Always cool to see those early roles.
This was one of my Dad's all-time favorite TV shows. He NEVER missed Barney Miller.------------I loved the show, too.-------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
I have been thoroughly enjoying this. One of the view videos I don't feel a need to fast forward or skip. Just happy to watch it all through. Laughed just like then (even though I understand some of the bawdier content now - back then I was a kid in the 70s!). Loved all the guest stars from some of my fave shows like Soap and Its a Living and so many character actors. I had to mention Sarina Grant (I remember her most from Good Times, but she was in a lot of shows!). She was sort of not too featured in The Call Girl episode, but she did everything with the part she had (Dubois). Her facial expressions and gesticulations were terrific! They didn't pay much attention to her and they were not very respectful, whereas the other call girl was treated like royalty. Hmmm.
My brother got to be an extra on one of the Barney Miller episodes. He got into the union by winning on the Gong Show.... the precursor to today's idol worshipping talent shows.
@@LordZontar …..oh my yes, “ Harris” had Style, he was savvy, and even complimentary to the “ Ladies of the Evening - that scene is still my most favourite part of that Episode. He can find humour anywhere within the 12th 🌟🧡🌟. Thanks for sharing your comment. It brought back great memories 💔
Like my dad whom I loved sharing in watching this show with. Compassionate. A compassionate human being and teacher and not much credit in life for it, even though his students loved and appreciated him.
I am dying to see the episode where Dietrich dresses like a woman for Purse Snatcher decoy detail but the crew at the precinct can't let him leave because he "looks ridiculous".
I was a teen when this aired, I'd watch many cop shows, this show was the first to show law enforcement as people with emotions and feelings, it put cops on a good light as good people, which most are, it's the bullies and ones that abuse power that gives them a bad rep, it was good for cops to show reality and humor. Everyone hates cops until they need one, toughest job.
Reminds me of what a little old Jewish man told me 50+ years ago. "Ladies of the Night" have the ideal business, they got it... they sell it... they still got it!
The thing is, she's literally selling her body for money and gets offended when called a hooker or tramp? Not saying we should be disrespectful but technically, those nouns are correct to describe her behavior.
15:50 The attractive red head is much like my red head organ teacher! When playing Bach I loved watching her shapely legs ashe played the organ pedal notes.
AH, HOW I MISS CHANO, ESPECIALLY WHEN HES EXCITED, HAPPY OR IN QUITE A FOUL MOOD . THE SPANISH AND ENGLISH ARE COMBINED ... ITS SO MUCH FUN TO WARCH HIM, ESPECIALLY DURING THE " RAT SCENE " WHEN HE GRABS A BAT, AND REALISES WOJO WAS BITTEN, STANDING, UP; SO HE TAKES OUT HIS GUN. TO SHOOT THE RAT! ..... OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!☆ LOVE CHANO ♥️☄🕯🎇⛾🔱🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Loved how they used Jack Dodson and played him against type. After a career of playing the nebbish they had him as a psycho who killed barbers who gave him a bad haircut. Brilliant.
Brilliant writing, inspired delivery. And here we are fifty years later staring at a million channel wasteland of cliché and bad hyperbole. “Mime her her rights.” A comedy that imagined its audience having actual brains.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
The woman who played the rookie was also in the series as a detective (see before and after they were cops Barney Miller Before and After they were Cops) AND she later played the wife of Bruno Bender.
Wojo's such a meathead. Everything he says is a snarl, a contradiction and a low minded jab at others. He's the perfect characterization of an institutional drone. Complaining, bullying, quick to judge and quick to snap, a real grind on the system. Thankfully they made him funny and with some compassion at times. He has more facets than first glances may reveal.
@Baba Ganush preach brutha! Too many of my old friends can't find their sense of humor anymore, can't do anything but complain. The show's writers made a great job of creating a character that's already limited his outlook and his dialogue is perfect for it.
Wojo had a bit of a moral streak in him. But what he failed to understand was that some had different beliefs or others fell on hard times and had to do not so nice stuff to get by. But deep down he was a decent man.
@@CriswellKOL Rosanna DeSoto. One of her more well known roles was in La Bamba . She played the mother of Ritchie Valens ( Lou Diamond Phillips ) in 1987.

Wojo is a Viet Nam Vet and does not pick up on all the civilian people right away. It takes him time but Wojo gets there. That in some ways would make him a child.
I never liked Wojohowitz or Levitz (the short one). Wojo's arrogance definitely not justified, and Levitz was a Chihuahua. Levitz was a mall cop who got the PD job because he's good at bootlicking. I LOVED Fish's and Soo's dry sense of humor, lol...
Barney Miller is one of my all time favorite sitcoms, I would put it in the top ten category amongst the best sitcoms ever made.
The other night I saw a repeat on Antenna TV where everybody gets a paycheck but Fish. So he calls personnel and tells Barney "You're not gonna believe this, but according to their records I'm dead. Now I have to go down there an prove to them that I'm alive...and that's not gonna be easy!"
And 30 years later a website dedicated itself to whether Abe Vigoda was alive that day or not. It went on for at least a decade.
I remember one like that! They had great writers, and great delivery.
@@skipads5141The irony! 😆
@@skipads5141omg. That stuff on Conan. I used to watch it. Had no idea it was based on this.

How can anyone give this a thumbs down ,

At the 4-6 minute mark it is "Howard Sprague" from the Andy Griffith show.
Muriel!

Nancy Dussault
I don't remember the show's episodes were 1-hour long. Maybe they were such engrossing stories that time flew by.
Played twice
This was one of my Dad's all-time favorite TV shows. He NEVER missed Barney Miller.------------I loved the show, too.-------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
This was my dad's favorite show as well. He just passed away at the age of 74 too.
Same. Mine left us in '87. He was 53. I was 17.
Rosanna DeSoto appeared in several episodes. She portrayed Ritchie Valens' mother ( Lou Diamond Phillips ) in La Bamba
She was also the only female chancellor of the Klingon Empire in Star Trek history!
“ I couldn’t get a lousy 5 mins , but for someone else, she does Sound of Music”
“Austrian peasant guard, must yodel,” 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for the uploads.
younger generations don't know how good this show was.
Facts!
Saw a comment from a 23 year old that does, I'm in my late 30s

No Hill Street, no LA Law, no Sopranos without this show
I grew up watching this from the time I was 12. I love this show.
Harris, the best dressed NYPD detective of all.
No question about that.
I love him!
And oddly enough, he was still playing a stylish cleric on 'Firefly', another good show that died for lack of care...
Ron Glass was so great.
When a mercenary tried to recruit Harris for his outfit, he turned him down. Harris' reason? "I can't wear khaki."
My brother got to be an extra on one of the Barney Miller episodes.
He got into the union by winning on the Gong Show.... the precursor to today's idol worshipping talent shows.
Cool!
Love the way " Harris" reads the Ladies their rights ..... Cool & Groovy 💖⚘😊🇺🇸🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎹🎼🎵🎶
Falls into a rap with the ladies.

Aww. Barney is so compassionate.. another reason I absolutely love this guy. He's truly one of a kind.

Not to mention he was HOT!!
Harlot Reel is a good band name, especially because reel is a type of dance.
Like the one when fish pot lace Brownies and fish was able to jump between too buildings
🤣
Barney: Go home til you feel better.
Harris: I’ll go home, but ain’t never going to feel any better
I break laws, not commandments. perfection!
I am dying to see the episode where Dietrich dresses like a woman for Purse Snatcher decoy detail but the crew at the precinct can't let him leave because he "looks ridiculous".
@Gildor Inglorian LOL that's the topper. Thanks for jogging my memory!
I loved watching Dietrich.
I was a teen when this aired, I'd watch many cop shows, this show was the first to show law enforcement as people with emotions and feelings, it put cops on a good light as good people, which most are, it's the bullies and ones that abuse power that gives them a bad rep, it was good for cops to show reality and humor. Everyone hates cops until they need one, toughest job.
I heard a lot of cops like this show too. It did portray cops as human beings with real issues like everyone else.
The most realistic cop show.
Reminds me of what a little old Jewish man told me 50+ years ago. "Ladies of the Night" have the ideal business, they got it... they sell it... they still got it!
that Chippendale guy--Lance Peterson, is the most surprised for being busted! I love when Fish asks him: "Can you sing?"
12:30 I ran around the world twice in 7 months. Nope. I reached 1,100 miles today, and that was with lots of 12 mile runs before it got hot.
"I hope you're a good cop. 'Cause you're a crummy human being." Possibly the best line ever
The thing is, she's literally selling her body for money and gets offended when called a hooker or tramp? Not saying we should be disrespectful but technically, those nouns are correct to describe her behavior.
Is that Muriel Rush ? From Too Close for Comfort.
Dietrich: name?
Defendant: Robert Joseph.
Dietrich: Bobby Joe?
Defendant: you got it.
17:30 - Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen.
This was the part of the series where woo lost so much weight we all worried that he was really sick
Hooker: I break laws..not commandments. CLASSIC!
15:50 The attractive red head is much like my red head organ teacher! When playing Bach I loved watching her shapely legs ashe played the organ pedal notes.
That actress was gorgeous. She did a show where she was a waitress too, and she was even more gorgeous in that.
@@mrwritestuff1 Her name is Barrie Youngfellow and the show was called " It's a Living" ✌
That teacher on a Subconscious level could "feel" your sexual attraction for her. 💕😃👍
When Tessio infiltrated NYPD.
I sure miss Wojo and those double knits.
Dietrich: you want me to mime her her rights?
One of my Fav shows
35:00 This Afro White Guy appeared in only three episodes and it was the highlight of his career.
I believe the “Afro White Guy” was Richard Gere

Sad, I tbought he was great, much better than Levitt

Profound statement. Most laws are just arbitrary rules.

14:50 - This lady is funny. Couple of funniest lines of Barney Miller.
29:20 - There she is again. She's funny as hell.
She's hot stuff

Why is soliciting illegal? But a one night stand isn’t?
Exchange of money
Brilliant writing, inspired delivery. And here we are fifty years later staring at a million channel wasteland of cliché and bad hyperbole. “Mime her her rights.” A comedy that imagined its audience having actual brains.
The ladies were treated with compassion given the era.

Wolfsky9, this was always my favorite TV show. They had the greatest actors, writers, and characters. Who's 74, your father or you? I'm 71.
"I wouldn't sell my body!" I mean, you're kinda already doing that if you're in the military. Wojo himself was a marine :P
One of my favorite episodes was "Bugs". It's a funny thing to think one of the Harlots they arrest is a wife with kids.
The woman who played the rookie was also in the series as a detective (see before and after they were cops Barney Miller Before and After they were Cops) AND she later played the wife of Bruno Bender.
