BarneyMiller

Barney Miller was a situation comedy TV series set in a New York City police station in Greenwich Village. The series originally was broadcast on ABC-TV until May 20, 1982.
Decades after its cancellation, Barney Miller retains a devoted following among real-life police officers, who appreciate the show’s emphasis on dialogue and believably quirky characters, and its low-key portrayal of cops going about their jobs.
