The captain of a city police station and his staff handle the various local troubles and characters that come to the building.
Barney Miller is a comedy television series set in a New York City police station in Greenwich Village that ran from January 23, 1975 to May 20, 1982 on ABC. It was created by Danny Arnold and Theodore J. Flicker. Noam Pitlik directed the majority of the episodes.
Captain Barney Miller (Hal Linden) tries to remain sane while leading the 12th Precinct’s detectives: crochety, nearing-retirement Jewish-American Philip K. Fish (Abe Vigoda); naive but goodhearted Polish-American Det. Stanley “Wojo” Wojciehowicz (Max Gail); ambitious, arrogant African-American Det. Ronald “Ron” Nathan Harris (Ron Glass); philosophical, wisecracking Japanese-American Nick Yemana (Jack Soo); and Dauntless Puerto Rican Chano Amanguale (Gregory Sierra).
He also has to deal with his unapologetically old-school superior, Chief Inspector Frank Luger (James Gregory), and diminutive (and obsequious) Officer Carl Levitt (Ron Carey), who passive-aggressively badgers Miller constantly about being promoted to detective. Amanguale was replaced by intellectual Arthur P. Dietrich (Steve Landesberg) from the third season on.
The show’s focus was split between the detectives’ interactions with each other and with the suspects and witnesses they detained, processed, and interviewed.
Some typical conflicts and long running plotlines included Miller’s frustration with red tape and paperwork, his constant efforts to maintain peace, order, and discipline, and his numerous failed attempts to get a promotion; Harris’s preoccupation with outside interests, mainly his novel, and his inability to remain focused on his police work; Fish’s incontinence and reluctance to retire; Wojciehowicz’s impulsive behavior and love life; Luger’s nostalgia for the old days with partners Foster, Kleiner and Brown; Levitt’s (eventually successful) quest to become a detective.
Not forgetting the rivalry between the precinct’s resident intellectuals, Harris and Dietrich and continually bad coffee.
City Homicide was created by Danny Arnold, Theodore J. Flicker and Chris Hayward.
It stars Hal Linden, Max Gail and Ron Glass.
