A cop show hailed for both its inspired lunacy and remarkable realism, Emmy(R) Award-winning Barney Miller is a humanistic and comical look into the daily grind of a police squad in New York's Greenwich Village. Beginning in 1974 and continuing for eight acclaimed seasons, this unforgettable show followed the detectives of the 12th Precinct as they took on everything from domestic disputes to suicide bombers to bad coffee. The plain, cramped squad room of Barney Miller played host to a glorious array of American oddballs -- perps and victims alike -- and the officers met them with patience and paperwork. Season Four marks the retirement of Fish (Abe Vigoda), and the emergence of Det. Dietrich (Steve Landesberg) and Officer Levitt (Ron Carey) as leading cast members on the show.
