I did this partly because I wanted to see how people would rank Barney Miller. I haven't seen it since it originally aired. I watched it all the time back then, but now watching the season 1 set, the show is doing NOTHING for me. So I wondered how others felt it stood up against the more popular 70s sitcoms. I'm not surprised so far just about everyne has it low.

Aside from that, I also just wanted to see everyone's lists. I had a feeling TVResearcher would add CPO Sharkey to his list.

Dean Winchester · 01-23-2006, 05:53 PM

the only thing interesting about Barney Miller to me was seeing Ron Glass come back 20 years after the show ended and attracted a new following in Firefly and Serenity as Shepard Booke.
