barney miller

Barney Miller is name of a television series created by Arnold and Theodore J and directed by Noam Pitlik. It was set in   a small Village station of Greenwich. The series was broadcasted from 1975 to 1982 on ABC station. The series had made Steve Landesberg, one of the actors, famous and today, the fans mourned his departure.

Barney Miller is the story of the right kind of cop we'd all love to bump onto.He is always on his right mood, sensible and manage to instill discipline onto his rather odd squad, whose favorite past time is gambling and chasing after beautiful young girls.

If anything were remembered about Barney Miller, is that it had  helped to make Steve Landesberg famous. Landesberg was perhaps best known for his role as the intellectual and sometimes annoying Detective Sgt. Arthur Dietrich. The younger generation would know him about his role as a doctor in movie hit in 2008 titled  "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

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, such as his living arrangements but mainly his novel ("Blood on the Badge"), and his inability to remain focused on his police work; Fish's age-related health issues, marital problems, 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 quest to become a detective (which was eventually successful); the rivalry between the precinct's resident intellectuals, Harris and Dietrich and continually — but reliably — bad coffee (usually made by Yemana).
Decades after its cancellation, Barney Miller retains a devoted following among real-life police officers, who appreciate the show's emphasis on dialogue and believably quirky characters, and its low-key portrayal of cops going about their jobs. During his appearance on Jon Favreau'sIndependent Film Channel talk show Dinner for Five, Dennis Farina, who worked as a Chicago policeman before turning to acting, calledBarney Miller the most realistic cop show ever seen on television. Hal Linden has told interviewers that he is still occasionally called "Captain" by working police officers
