Because of his hemorrhoids, he was known to bring a donut cushion to use on his desk chair.Ī well-known character actor, James Gregory, was in the series, portraying inspector Frank Luger who has a nostalgia for the old days on the force. On Barney Miller he portrayed an old-timer on the squad, an elderly man constantly afflicted with health issues, especially hemorrhoids and constantly having to go to the bathroom. He began his acting career on Broadway but went on to appear in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Most were detective sergeants.Ībe Vigoda portrayed Phillip K. Fish. As Captain, he was in charge of the usual paperwork, dealing with budgets and keeping rein on his quirky men. He initially felt that leaving Broadway to work on Barney Miller was his most irrational act and also one of his best decisions. He then worked in summer stock followed by off-Broadway work and the on Broadway. And the characters were priceless!Ĭaptain Barney Miller was portrayed by Hal Linden who actually began his career as a big band musician and singer in the 1950s. Though the locale seldom changed, boredom never entered the equation while watching this show. But watching Barney Miller certainly brings back memories.Īn interesting aspect of this show is that Barney Miller took place almost entirely within the confines of the detectives’ squad room and Captain Barney Miller’s adjoining office at the fictional 12th Precinct in Greenwich Village, New York City. And we followed that by watching The Streets of San Francisco at 9:00, another great show that I’ve yet to find reruns of. Not an 8:00 Thursday night passed without me and Mom watching Barney and his detectives and the wacky criminals they’d arrest.

This show ran eight full seasons, from 1975 to 1982. But even better, on that channel there is also another of my old favorites ran on regular basis: Barney Miller. And though those choices make it appear that I live in the world of science fiction/fantasy, I have other favorites such as The Andy Griffith Show and Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show, episodes of which I’ve recently discovered on a new channel on my cable.

Though there’s a few new series I’ve found interest in, I still revel in watching syndicated reruns of old shows that I love, such as Twilight Zone, Quantum Leap and The Outer Limits. I’m still old-school when it comes to my TV viewing.
