The two writers were aguring about crappy teelvison shows and Mork and Mindy was mentioned, I believe this scene was cut from the Tv Land broadcast of this particular episode but I also have it on one of the Barney Miller Columbia House Tapes...

One guy was complaining about filth and midlessness on TV and the other guy who worked for a TV network said something to the effect "we only program what you people ask!" Then the other guy said "I didn't ask for Mork and Mindy!"

Dietrich and Wojo also mentioned the show "Wanted Dead or Alive" where Steve McQueen played a bounty hunter. This was in the episode where a bounty hunter showed up in the precint.

"Welcome Back Kotter" was mentioned on the episode which is on the total cereal dvd in which the disgruntled teacher expresses disgust for the show because of the kids he has to face at work.

The teacher mentioned the show, none of the characters did...But it would be cool if Harris and Washington were buds, or related in some way...

In one episode (perhaps "Liquidation") Harris says he's going to submit a script to "Palmerstown" which was a CBS series from 1980-81.

In "Homicide," in the conversation with Kotterman in the cell, M*A*S*H and Trapper John MD are mentioned.

Was Palmerstown a Comedy?

In an episode from the 2nd season called Hot Dogs a man arrives at the 12th to report that his wife was missing, and that she was not home for Monday night to watch her favorite programs, which were the Monday night CBS line-up;

Rhoda

Phyllis

All in the Family

and Maude
