Really enjoying the complete release - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I purchased Shout!'s complete release of Barney Miller on Monday, and got it on Wednesday. I've already seen 10 episodes of it (finished the first disc and have moved on to the second), and it's as good a show as it was made out to be. I think that it's actually far funnier than Hogan's Heroes or McHale's Navy; neither of those really had any laughs to them, IMO.

In short: Barney really does bring it.

I've been thinking about buying the complete series. I'm trying to cut back on my TV DVD purchases but I really want this set. Since I bought the complete series of "The Bob Newhart Show" this month, maybe I'll buy "Barney Miller" next month.

I'll probably get The Bob Newhart Show next month, seeing as I'm getting ever closer to the end of Barney.

What is the size (dimensions of the box) of this set?

Kasey · 09-15-2014, 12:47 PM

The box is the exact hard cardboard stock as the Mary Hartman set except Barney is 1.5 inches smaller in depth. The exact measurements are 8"tall, 5.5 across, 3" deep.
