Special guest Richard Hatem returns to discuss four episodes of Barney Miller! Resignation in which Deitrich tries to resign only to manage to insult all of his co-workers. Field Associate in which we learn that there's a snitch in the precinct. And the two-parter, Movie, wherein Harris becomes an auteur by creating a heady adult film.
This three episode run of Barney Miller was the beginning, middle, and end of a new Detective in the old One-Two, Det. Sgt. Eric Dorsey (Paul Lieber). Sitting at Nick's desk, Dorsey was a quasi-Dietrich in his humor but couldn't ingratiate himself with his fellow detectives. We chart the introduction and fall of this ill-concieved character as we continue our trek through the uneven 7th season.
Welcome to season seven of Barney Miller where the guys of the old 1-2 are experimenting with new haircuts and toupees as we scream our way into the 1980s. We start off with a two-parter where the precinct shifts to dealing solely with homicides before abruptly shifting back. We follow that up with a story about a delegate to the 1976 democratic convention who's still hanging out in New York and indulging in all of his vices.
We're wrapping up the super sixth season of Barney Miller with three episodes that discuss topics as diverse as domestic terrorism, hypnosis, and intellectual property. We even discover a window in the 12th precinct that we never knew existed.
On this ultra-woke episode of The Life & Times of Barney Miller we discuss "Guns" wherein Wojo uses a bazooka against Barney, "Uniform Days" where Harris doesn't want to don the old blue threads, and the two-parter "Deitrich's Arrest." We're joined by renown screenwriter Richard Hatem to talk about a quartet of solid episodes from season 6.
Mike and Chris discuss the two-part episode "Vanished" in which Harris investigates the disappearance of several homeless men, forcing him to go undercover. In "The Child Stealers" we see the return of Marty and Mr. Driscoll while discussing parental rights for queer people.
We continue looking at the 6th Season of Barney Miller with three solid episodes wherein we hear about the state of DNA research in 1979, get a visit from an undercover detective, and reunite with a lot of familiar faces.
We continue our look at the solid Season 6 of Barney Miller with three episodes that include Wojo buying a parrot with a short shelf life, Don Calfa as a nearly-catatonic criminal, and the disappearance of Nick's old desk.
We continue our coverage of season 6 with three banger episodes which include discussion of human bondage, spontaneous combustion, and sowing wild oats.
We're back and kicking off Season 6 of Barney Miller with a discussion of the first three episodes: Inquisition, The Photographer, and Vacation. We've got the return of Lt. Scanlon and the re-introduction of the first gay officer working at the 12th Precinct. On this season Noam Pitlik takes the reign of all directing duties.
Richard Hatem joins Mike and Chris to talk about the final episodes of Season 5 of Barney Miller. It was a very strong season and ends with a very poignant episode wherein the members of the "Old One Two" reminisce about Jack Soo, the actor, and Yamana, the character.
On this episode we discuss three-four original Barney Miller episodes from the show's fifth season: The Spy, Wojo's Girl, and Voice Analyzer. Wojo's Girl was an attempt at a back-door pilot for a Wojo-centered series that never happened.
Special guest Otto Bruno (Barney Miller and the Files of the Ol’ One-Two) join Mike and Chris to discuss three episodes from the middle of the fifth season of Barney Miller, the best season of the show so far.
Chris and Mike discuss three solid episodes of "Barney Miller" with stories of past grudges, racial relations, and patriotism. The Harris Incident, in particular, is an amazingly powerful half hour of television.
We're still in the nascent stages of Season 5 where Chris and Mike discuss Dietrich being accused of lewd conduct, Yemana being underappreciated at work, and a cat burglar who continues her husband's work.
We're in the beginnings of Season 5, the season of Noam Pitlik, where we are discussing the episodes The Search, Dog Days, and The Baby Broker where we start to come around to Levitt while Harris loses his mustache.
We're wrapping up Season 4 and starting Season 5 of Barney Miller with the one and only Otto Bruno who triumphantly returns to discuss his book, Barney Miller and the Files of the Ol' One Two. Buy Otto's book at https://amzn.to/3hfYkUN
A woman files a complaint against an art gallery, Don Calfa takes the 12th Precinct hostage, and the proprietors of an adult bookstore get hassled by their snotty kids on the latest episode of The Life & Times of Captain Barney Miller.
We're discussing another two-parter with Eviction wherein Barney Miller squares off with Ruben Kincaid who's trying to evict tenants from a hotel. This is followed by a very special episode of Barney Miller directed by Max Gail which discusses the problem of erectile dysfunction.
Writer Richard Hatem joins us again to discuss a trio of episodes from the fourth season of Barney Miller: The Ghost, Appendicitis, and Rape. In The Ghost, Kenneth Tigar returns along with his personal poltergeist. In Appendicitis we get a health scare from Nick. And, in Rape, it's a sobering discussion of spousal rape coupled with a laugh track.
