Originally broadcast from January 23, 1975, to May 20, 1982, on ABC.
Barney Miller retains a devoted following among real-life police officers,
who appreciate the show’s emphasis on dialog and believably quirky
characters, and its low-key portrayal of cops going about their jobs. It
won Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Comedy or Musical
Series in 1976 and 1977 from a total of seven nominations. In 2013,
TV Guide ranked Barney Miller at #46 on its list of the 60 best series
of all time.
