Hey, "Barney Miller" is returning to ABC!
Sadly, Hal Linden won’t be reprising his role as the affable NYPD police captain from ‘80s comedy. The actor will play an ole’ guy who helps Greg Otto (Diedrich Bader) understand the meaning of Christmas on "American Housewife".
“Of course, it will be treated ironically or it wouldn’t be a sitcom,” Linden tells EW. “Greg comes to show his kids the meaning of Christmas by bringing them to a senior citizens home where they can help out. I’m one of the senior citizens. I know it’s tough to imagine me in that role.”
Linden promises to deliver plenty of one-liners. “They don’t waste me,” he says. “It’s a lot more sardonic than inspirational, let’s put it that way.”
