Barney Miller was an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy television series set in a New York City police station that ran from January 23, 1975 to May 20 1982 on ABC. It was created by Danny Arnold (who also worked on Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch) and Theodore J. Flicker. The show was frequently directed by Noam Pitlik.
Barney Miller is the kind of cop we'd all like to run into. He is always sensible. He maintains order over a squad room of detectives who gamble for a hobby, get hit on by anything in skirts, go to renaissance philosophy conventions for fun, and would really prefer to be writing. Nearly all of the action takes place in the squad room where the citizens and criminals are brought in to complicate the mix. Written by John Vogel
