This classic television comedy, which ran on ABC-TV from 1975-82, details the exploits of Greenwich Village police captain Barney Miller (Hal Linden) and his diverse group of coworkers as they deal with an endless stream of strange characters–criminal and otherwise–on the job. Notable for a multi-ethnic cast (rare for television in the mid-70s) and smart, character-driven storylines, BARNEY MILLER was a success with critics and audiences alike. The strong cast includes Abe Vigoda (whose character, Detective Fish, got his own spin-off series in 1978), Max Gail, Ron Glass, Jack Soo, Barbara Barrie, and Gregory Sierra. This collection presents eight fan-favorite episodes: “Evacuation,” “Quarantine – Part I,” “Quarantine – Part II,” “The Election,” “Werewolf,” “Bus Stop,” “Recluse,” and “Non-Involvement.”
