Considering the era in which it originally aired, on a network known at the time for “jiggle TV” and light entertainment, the fact “Barney Miller” ever made it to air and found success was nothing short of miraculous.

Created and produced by television veteran Danny Arnold (“Bewitched”, “That Girl”) and with a stellar cast headed by professional clarinetist Hal Linden as the title character, “Barney Miller” was set in a dirty, dingy New York Police Department squad room in the fictional Twelfth Precinct.
