Description

Airing on ABC primetime from 1974-1982 and seen by millions, Barney Miller is a situation comedy television series set in a NYC police station in Greenwich Village. Captain Barney Miller (Hal Linden) is the kind of cop we'd all like to meet. He somehow manages to maintain order over a group of inner-city detectives who gamble for a hobby, get hit on by anything in skirts, go to renaissance philosophy conventions for fun, and would really prefer to be writing. These colorful characters worked together to make one of the funniest sitcoms ever and is cemented in classic TV status. Created by producer Danny Arnold (That Girl, Bewitched) and writer Theodore J. Flicker (The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show). Guest Stars include Jeffery Tambor, Ray Sharkey, Marla Gibbs, Adam Arkin, Charlotte Rae, Linda Lavin, Doris Roberts, Dave Madden, Christopher Lloyd, Joe Regalbuto and Meshach Taylor.

  • Rejoice Barney Miller fans - complete series DVD set is here!
Anyone who is a fan of this classic TV show shouldn't hesitate to purchase this DVD collection. No matter what the video and audio quality grades are that one may assign this item, it doesn't change the fact that it is very unlikely that another `digitally enhanced' or `high definition' version of this series will ever be released. Most distributors and studios are decreasing the amount of physical videos made each year as they turn their attention to streaming internet content. The bottom line is this is a solid DVD collection and should satisfy fans of this outstanding comedy series. [ Note the special features include a couple of good retrospective documentaries and season 1 of the spin-off `Fish' (which is below average, but will appeal to viewers seeking family-friendly entertainment). ] TECHNICAL GRADES: Season 1: This season needs substantial remastering as the video goes back and forth between levels of clarity. [ Video: D+; Audio: C ] Seasons 2-3: These two seasons surprisingly have the best video quality in this set. Clarity does vary episode to episode, however. [ Video: B; Audio: B ] Season 4: Uneven clarity all season long. [ Video: C-; Audio: C ] Seasons 5-6, 8: These seasons have consistent video quality, except for occasional tint issues. [ Video: B-; Audio: B- ] Season 7: While it has decent video quality, the audio experiences some inconsistencies on a few episodes. [ Video: B-; Audio: C+ ] SERIES REVIEW: Season 1-3: The first three seasons are really the glory period for this show. Sgt. Chano's energy was an underrated component and it is a shame the producers were not able to keep actor Gregory Sierra on the show. It is no accident that the best episode of `Barney Miller' called "The Hero" features Chano. The original cast chemistry was wonderful and sadly never equaled in the latter seasons. Season 4: The show is clearly in transition as the same running gags are found on episode after episode. Also, the departures of actors Abe Vigoda and Gregory Sierra are painfully noticeable as Steve Landesberg and Ron Carey's characters are not able to hold their own this season. It wasn't a good idea to have three droll and dry witted characters on at the same time (namely Yemana, Dietrich & Levitt). One of the lesser seasons to be sure. Season 5: The series returns to top form as social issues are tackled in frank yet humorous manner. Actor Ron Glass is given more to do and he rises to the task. Sgt. Dietrich loses his stoic posture and reveals that he is quite the passionate progressive. After seasons 3 & 4, one is happy to see actor Steve Landesberg passionate about anything! The last great season of this show. Season 6: Another solid season that is memorable for giving Officer Levitt finally something more to do than suck up to everyone. Unfortunately, the worst `Barney Miller' episode ("Uniform Days") appears this season. Sgt. Harris crosses the line with Barney in a manner that is neither humorous nor realistic. However that episode, for better or worse, begins a two season long story arch that takes Harris to some dark places. Actor Hal Linden is terrific in the season finale, "Fog." Season 7: A mean spirited tone permeates throughout the worst season of `Barney Miller.' This declaration doesn't change the fact that it is still good overall - just simply the least of the eight seasons. A real surprise that two of the best episodes this season feature Officer Levitt (namely "Field Associate" & "Stormy Weather"). Oddly, actors Max Gail and Steve Landesberg have diminished roles as Ron Glass and Ron Carey are frequently center stage this season. This is probably due to the writers' challenge of creating stories in what is essentially a two-set sitcom. Wojo was featured often in seasons 1 through 5, while Dietrich was featured often in seasons 4 through 6. So, in the writers' minds, Harris and Levitt were obviously viewed as characters ripe for exploration. Season 8: This season is a fitting close to a great show that was able to mix satire, farce and social commentary into an endearing dish of comedy. While Hal Linden playing the straight man to his wacky associates goes unnoticed at times throughout eight seasons, it must be said that this show wouldn't have worked without him. From seasons 5 to 8, it is incredible the number of the same supporting actors that appear in multiple episodes. The producers apparently used the same veteran actors they could rely on that didn't mind the long shooting schedules. Season 8 does try to return the show to its roots by focusing more on adventures at the precinct and less on the detectives' personal lives. (See "Examination Day" & "The Clown" for episodes reminiscent of the early seasons.) This back-to-basics approach is a welcome change after the much darker season 7. TOP 10 EPISODES: 1) "The Hero" [Season 1, episode 13] 2) "The Architect" [Season 6, episode 124] 3) "The Harris Incident" [Season 5, episode 90] 4) "Rain" [Season 2, episode 24] 5) "The Escape Artist" [Season 1, episode 11] 6) "Quo Vadis" [Season 4, episode 76] 7) "The Stakeout" [Season 1, episode 6] 8) "The Search" [Season 5, episode 83] 9) "Strike, parts I & II" [Season 3, episodes 56 & 57] 10) "The Vandal" [Season 5, episode 89] MORE MEMORABLE EPISODES: "Experience" [Season 1, episode 2] "Happy New Year" [Season 2, episode 28] "Quarantine, parts I & II" [Season 3, episodes 37 & 38] "Hash" [Season 3, episode 46] "The Rand Report" [Season 3, episode 49] "Bugs" [Season 4, episode 60] "Vacation" [Season 6, episode 107] "Fog" [Season 6, episode 126] "Stormy Weather" [Season 7, episode 138] "Examination Day" [Season 8, episode 157] "The Clown" [Season 8, episode 158] ... show more

  • Good, but...
I received the (2019) 23 disk set, which does not contain "Fish: The Complete First Season" and a collectible booklet that was available in the (2011) 25-disc version. The 2011 25 disk version is out-of-print. Does contain the Pilot, some bonus features and commentary. This ad lists 168 episodes instead of the 170 episodes originally broadcast, I couldn't find an explanation for the missing two episodes, turns out that Shout Factory combined two 2-part episodes into two extended episodes (S5-E1 and S5-E2 The Kidnapping Pts 1 &2 and S5-E16 and S5-E17 Wojo's girl Pts 1 & 2) so the full series is there... One other thing, I can't get the closed-captioning to work, but that might be my equipment... All in all a good value, well worth the price, I would highly recommend! ... show more

Even though old, it doesn't feel dated. People dealing with other people, and trying to figure things out.

  • Barney Miller by Shout Factory
I used to watch Barney Miller on late night reruns with my dad back in the early 80’s just about the time the show was coming to its end. I don’t think I saw half of the episodes so, I was very pleased to find this Barney Miller The Complete Series 1974-82 by Shout Factory on DVD. I would have bought this without extras, but I, certainly, was looking forward to seeing the Life And Times of Barney Miller pilot where his family was the focal point of show with his wife not played by Barbara Barrie, yet. Also of note, in the bonus features (all bonus features are on the end of season 8 disc) are the cast interviews with Hal Linden, Abe Vigoda, Max Gail, Steve Landesberg and writer Frank Dungan (I’m probably forgetting a couple other interviewees, too). Their reminiscing is definitely worth a look. An early episode with Gregory Sierra as Chano is a favorite. Chano shoots a robbery suspect (off camera, of course) and is having a difficult time, emotionally, with taking a life. Barney visits Chano at his rundown apartment, one of just a handful of scenes ever shown outside the 12th precinct, hoping Chano will be able to continue working as a policeman. Although Chano is rather unceremoniously just ‘gone’ from the show by season 3, other cast member favorites like the crotchety Fish (Abe Vigoda) departs in a 2-part goodbye to start season 4. Barbara Barrie would slowly be written out only appearing as a guest star to, basically, remind the viewer The Millers’ marriage is on the rocks. She is having a difficult time remaining married to a police detective, the hours, and the dangers. Whenever Barrie re-appears there is great care taken by the writers to flesh out her character as a once proud wife of a police captain. When the other officers see her visiting the ‘one-two’, it’s almost like the actors get a chance to honor and appreciate the actress Barbara Barrie not just Mrs Barney Miller. Well, at least that’s what I found myself believing/thinking. When Jack Soo (Sgt Yemana) passed there is a touching-funny recap of his time on the show complete with cast raising their coffee cups to their departed friend. By Season Six the show hadn’t lost a thing. The relatively new to the police show block Steve Landesberg (deadpanned, knows something about everything, ‘Dietrich’) and Ron Carey (wannabe detective Leavett) are both finding their comfort zone and comic legs; and the season 6 episode The Dentist is a non stop hoot with a writing credit NOT involving Reinhold Weege, who I was noticing on episodes I believed were good ones. Frank Dungan wrote The Dentist. Snippets: I liked the first Season intro more with the NYC skyline appearing grittier than the later Video change as the beginning theme music plays (more horns originally); and also was glad when the creators decided to change the freeze frame of actors laughing (especially Hal Linden’s mouth wide open laugh) when introducing the cast. That was so easy to make fun of like, say, Police Squad (movie) did (spoof), very well. I almost forgot to mention James Gregory as Inspector Luger who never, really, became a full time regular, but the more I saw him, the more I appreciated his pseudo-tough guy, vain, saying the wrong thing not helping, old fashioned, can’t help but be a sexist, when it comes down to it he’s just an all alone sap, who will stop and do a soft shoe dance at, probably, an inopportune time, humor. What a ham. What a performance. So, I couldn’t be happier to own this Shout Factory presentation of Barney Miller. It is just like watching on a great color TV set circa 1980! Police crime writer Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field) said he liked watching Barney Miller (again, extra features worth a look, too…Wambaugh probably appreciated/related to Ron Glass character ‘Harris’ writing a police novel about the 12th Precinct titled: Blood On The Badge). I marked 4 stars at start of review But I’m writing 5 stars now. ... show more
