Great news! Hasn't been streaming anywhere for a couple years.

It looks like all seasons are there now as opposed to when they had it before and only had a couple of seasons at a time.

Why does the season-three episode "Sex Surrogate" not have mixed case closed-captioning on Tubi (and other SVoD platforms) like literally every other episode of Barney Miller, instead retaining the all-uppercase VITAC captioning (apparently taken from Barney Miller's Antenna TV reruns)?

I think it could be a simple mistake by the distributor (Sony Pictures Television). SPT could have used the time that BM was absent from Tubi to convert the CC for "Sex Surrogate" to lowercase. Those hideous, dreadful uppercase-only VITAC closed-captions for that "Sex Surrogate" episode need to be deleted from its SVoD showings for good,

and until that happens, I will refuse to watch that "Sex Surrogate" episode at all.
