Okay, my second run at this. I missed a few in the previous attempt. • Barney Miller: Before ...
This one captures every actor and actress who appeared as something other than a cop, then showed up as a cop. Some even appeared afterward as non-cops, plus one ringer who was only impersonating a cop.

Hal Linden is absolutely gorgeous, am I right ladies ?????
Ooooh. He the big ol grey fox
yeppers 😉
He really is.
Yes 😀
He is not only handsome, he can sing and of course Act
Such a perfect main cast; they all played off one another so well. Everyone got their turn to shine, and even the guest stars had their chance to strut their stuff. Truly great writing and acting!
The guest stars were terrific and just as funny as the main cast.
How great would it have been to have a full show w the Detectives going out on a Call to apprehend the criminals they arrest. That was totally missing.
Best show ever! I bought the DVD series and canceled my direct TV. This is all I need.
Linda Lavin is from my hometown of Portland Maine. My mom was in HS with her for a year. My mom said everyone knew she was going to be a hit in show business because she was so talented.
Barney Miller has always been my favorite police television show / comedy. I watched it religiously during it's original run and anywhere I could find it in syndication. All these years I've always wondered how many other people realized these actors having different roles through the years. This morning I finally discovered your video. You did a great job!
At that time, it was the most expensive TV sitcom which hard to believe that since it only had 2 sets, the main police set and Lieutenants Millers office. Probably because they had to pay the cast on the show.
@@rockvilleraven Once they showed Fish's apartment.
@@peggyarnold4333 And Wojo's apartment.
I still love this show. It never gets old.
Because it was so brilliantly written.
@@MissT813 Yup and acted. Best sitcom ever made. Period. Seinfeld may the greatest, all in the family one of the most important, etc and many along on the way but BM is the pinnacle. So many things this show predicted that unfortunately came true because the writers READ the newspapers. That's where the stories came from. It's a brilliant history lesson/time capsule, etc... The stories never get old because they're about people and the human condition and THAT hasn't changed EVER. It's also a good lesson in how we IGNORED real issues on the REAL side on television and LET these bad things come to pass. I watch this show in it's entirety TWICE a year. Always have always will till I die. Barney's compassion is something EVERY leader should have. The charcaters are REAL ( probably the realest EVER portrayed in a sitcom) and Wojo's growth as a human being is the best long arc ever. The prejudice's harris overcomes, the perceived stereotypes yumana has to deal with, luger's old school mentality vs changing ideals....fromt op to bottom this show is quality. Abe vigoda's issue with aging... only Deitrich is a little unbelievable in his versatility in every topic and issue but he's a brilliantly written and acted form of RARE walking and talking exposition. Only that comes close is Night Court's first 3 seasons before they go into the wonderfully absurd. It's a shame we never got a reunion with Barney in the luger role. The ending is also the most tasteful finale and the best 'turning off the lights and walking out the door' ending ever.
ME 2
Barney Miller had the ultimate character actor lineup in tv history.
My dad looked a lot like Hal Linden! We loved this show.
My dad looked like Alan Alda.
Thanks for putting this together. Barney Miller was one of the best sitcoms ever!
Young people. You have no idea how loose and awesome the 70's were. It had dark stuff, but it was so loose. Felt beautiful.
@@adipsous You’re not referring to me, are you? I’m going to be 66 y.o. this year. I was there for the 1970s.
For sure. My mom loved the show so much she’d be sure to get home in time to catch it no matter what she was doing!
Best cop show to date. I read that NY cops approved of the show at the time because it showed crazy side of being a NY cop and how there was paperwork to do on every arrest not just bust them and throw them in a cage.
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Major Beckett instablaster =)
@Rafael Logan Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
It was so revered that Hal Linden was actually SALUTED by REAL cops in his life always. This is TRUE detective work. Regular men and woman doing a hard job with what they have. Dealing with the CRAZIES lol and paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. One thing people never thought of was pre xerox, having to do reports in TRIPLICET. It's one of the realest shows ever and probably the best and trues cop show ever - Dennis Farina thought show and this was 2- yrs AFTER in had ended lol. It's sad only 3-4 of the cast are still alive today and 2 of them weren't even series regulars. SO many great character actors on this show too. The cream of the crop in character actors of 70/80's films and tv. Something alot of people also overlook is how many actors are brought back in different roles over the years - that was not just because of their talent but a comment on how the faces all become the same in their job as policemen. Brilliant show.
@@DJRitty And not only did many actors come back in different roles Steve Landesberg who played Dietrich and Ron Carey who played Levitt originally played criminals that were arrested by the detectives later to come back as cops.
We are nearly 40 years removed from this era. Life was so much different back then, and so much more fun. We had just 8 VHF channels, and a few UHF channels as well, and had the time of our lives.
yes we did i honestly feel this was one of the best shows ever
1 of best ever sitcoms....
I sit here in my apartment without any heat, a beer after my 12 hour shift, enjoying watching this. Thanks for posting it up. It made my morning.
Stay cool 😎. lol.
Me too 🥶. Tiny propane heater ain’t doing it . Warming up next week a little bit. I hated those 12 hrs nights.
If you can't afford to heat your whole place, an electric heating pad works wonders. Been there.
Fish telling Dietrich he must be older than he looks is a little eerie. When Steve Landesberg died, we discovered that he really was ten years older than everybody believed.
And Abe Vigoda was at least ten years younger than he was portrayed.
My favorite Dietrich moment was when he passed the lie detector test by saying he was “born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!”
@@arthurwright8827 The Gregory Peck one was pretty funny, too.
@@arthurwright8827I love that episode. Dry sense of humor runs in my family, and watching Detrich with his sense of humor helped solidify mine as a pre-teen and young teenager.
Takes me back to the days of pre-internet research.
Wojo: “Where do I look?”
Barney: “Try the Yellow Pages.”
LOL. I can’t remember the last time I let my fingers do the walking. 😅
If you know, you know. 😊
A gem from my childhood.
I watched this as a kid when I would stay home from school and go to my grandparents cuz mom and dad had to work... I never understood WHAT the audience was laughing at lol but I watched...loved this show and never knew why until I got older and UNDERSTOOD the humor lol
I loved this show too! My parents and I watched it every Thursday night.
"Yemana!!!"
"Sounds beautiful doesn't it?"
Miss Nick in later seasons. Him, Harris and Dietrich were the best.
And his wondrous coffee!!
I thot of his run-ins (ethnic wise) when Lt van Buren (black lady cop on a Law & Order show) was told to go back where she came from and replied she was from Brooklyn. Laughed at that, too.
Watch your Mana in a thousand million miracleS..
My mother took me to see when I was like 8 years old,,,
An inspirational movie
Steve Landesberg should have made audiobooks of every publication ever made.
Gtg
His deadpan humor was edifying.
I know, right? He just has that kind of voice!
Many years later, Lt. Scanlon now known as Admiral J.P. Hansen would die in combat with the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359
So well known, his likeness was "borrowed" by a god-like alien residing in the galactic core of the Milky Way during the 23rd century.
I liked Alice from Mel's diner.
@Bobbie Charles Dagger of the Mind was also the title of a Columbo episode, Luger played in an early 70s episode with Robert Culp. Prior to BM. What a character as Luger! The guy we love to hate! Genius
He played the Russian writer who threw elaine's organizer out the Limo window and her tape recorder out the hotel window, Ironically striking the same lady in the head yet again! LoL Ot was cool seeing him pop up so many years latet
Phil Leeds, who played Nash, often played characters that are swindlers involving impersonation. He played a substitute judge on Night Court and a apartment building owner in Three's Company.
I think Phil was in the last episode of NC as one of the two aliens that take Bull back with them.
@@mescko When in doubt, IMDB it out
@@mescko You sure it was the last episode?
@@johnny-becker I guess I should have said 'Series Finale'. There was one episode shown after the finale, it was supposed to be aired before it but wasn't.
@@mescko I found it. He did. I have not seen past the third season yet but he played a character named Norm in the series finale according to IMDB
I grew up watching this show and continued to watch all the re-runs, over the last 20 years, it was always entertaining, and I kind of fell in love with the characters. I can always watch them and find them endlessly funny. Its October of 2021.
A show from my childhood television.
Good memories
How old are you now? I remember it too - 63
@@ssnoc
Probably 12 years old when I started watching, in my 50’s now.
@@davidp7037
Me too.
I’m 55 now.
Loved it then, & love it now.
Another great sitcom....back when writers actually wrote.
This was a bit before my time (born in '72) but after I watched my first episode I was hooked. As a teen some laughed at the fact I watched it, along with Taxi, MASH and a few other great shows from the early seventies. I was around twenty when I realized why I liked them so much. To your point, there was better acting and writing in one scene of those shows than a whole episode of most newer ones even now. This was a show done on one of the smallest sets I have seen but there was so much to it. It wasn't about the set or wardrobe. It was about people and they had a great main cast for it. They were also very smart about the actors that were for one show or even just a scene. It sounds funny but it made the craziness "smoother", more believable. With so many plot characters passing through that was vital. Even with a great main cast like that, it would not have been as good if the main actors did not have solid actors to make the scenes work. I may not always stop on this show or others like it when I'm channel surfing, yet every once in awhile I will do a week of shows like this to detox myself from todays "entertainment". Lastly, I even go back to a few black and white shows. I have seen every episode of The Dick van Dyke Show (situational and slapstick comedy at it's finest) but they still make me laugh when I watch them again. Quality shows have come from every era of television. But it has gotten harder to find through the years.
I loved this show when I was a kid...still do.
Same here. This was a favorite of mine.
Hal Linden and the actor playing the priest were both on Golden Girls as guest stars. Hal Linden played Dorthy's date in the episode "What a Difference a Date Makes" and the other actor played Stan's psychologist in the episode "The Monkey Show."
Barney Miller, the endless voice of reason, it is a wonder he never went nuts with the crew he had.
" Classic show from the past. Great acting and Great Script writings. The whole production squad and casting members deserve an Oscar's Award for their performances. Truly classic gemstones forever." " One of the best shows on T.V.".
The show was sort of Anti Gun, and when Fish retired, Barney made a big show of taking Fish's Gun saying "you wont need this anymore." Thankfully, it does not work that way.
That was really cool, man, thanks much for the effort - and a successful and healthy 2021 to us all
With *SHOTGUN JOE AT THE WHEEL?!? SURELY YOU JEST....*

Ha ! Asleep at the wheel 😴
9 months ago huh?? Oct 23,2021 here. So much for success with this so called president.
Ahhh, what would the internet be without the whiny trumpers coming in 'off topic' to comment sections with their pissing and moaning about the orange loser, um.......Losing!
Seeing all these actors brings back memories of this show back then
Landesberg is my favorite
10:00 omg the writing and innuendo is amazing. We need this wit now also.
Brilliant series.
1975 I was 6 years old and I remember the Soldiers coming home from Vietnam. My dad worked at WABD in Ft. Campbell Kentucky across from the main gate. I had just learned to ride my bike without training wheels. This was back when there were still party lines on telephones and families would gather for Sunday supper at grandma’s house. Great times back then.
I was a year behind ya, but same experiences
And… the significance to this video is…?
even though i was born in 71, i really enjoyed this show growing up.
I was born in 76, I would watch reruns of this though the my door after my bedtime. Best show ever!
Me born in the 1980's I still love the show
I Know, Right? Plus I Had A Major Crush On Hal Linden ( Still Do) !!!
Born in 72. I watched this in reruns with my grandmother who adored the whole cast.
@@jayscards8640 It was an awesome family show and I only wish today's shows were that good.
Still my favorite show of all-time.
Mine too. I love seinfeld but this is the best.
One of the best TV shows of any genre.
Best television show ever
Agree
Agree
Definitely
Liked the show when it was on. Seeing it now I’m amazed how superior all the acting is.
Classic NYC sitcom.
COPS voted Barney Miller the most realistic if COP show on TV. That and Taxi RULED.
Cagney & Lacey was pretty realistic too, before the transition from revolvers to autoloading pistols.
An NYPD Detective Squad where everyone is a sergeant was the most accurate? What was the competition?
“Thank you For editing and uploading... This Is Sooo Funnnnnny...
Love this show!! Detrich, Barney, Harris, Fish, Yemana & Wojo were hilarious! Had crush on Detrich, brains, humor & cute.🤗
My crush was Wojo and my mom loved barney.
@@sheilagravely5621 My Mom loved Barney! He was gorgeous! Wojo too!! 🤗
I had a big crush on Detrich. I was born in 1973 so only watched in reruns. Detrich still makes my heart flutter 🥰🥰🥰
Yes he was 😊
Thank you for posting this. I love that show.
"Don't do anything stupid or we will." That's a good line.
In an interview with Hal Linden, Hal mentioned that He and Abe would play racquetball and Abe would mop the floor with Hal. Abe was 53 when he started In Barney Miller and died at 95
I swear Abe Vigoda was born a 75 year old man...🤭💗
He was an athletic man.
I adored Barney Miller as a kid, Steve Landesburg was my favourite character, with his laconic wit.
Great word, "laconic."
I think barney Miller was quite possibly the greatest police comedy with the greatest cast I ever ssseen.
I forgot how funny the show was with Barney Miller from brendon and have a blessed day and happy Thanksgiving
I remember this show on T.V. my dad love it. I was just to young at the time to get most of the jokes but now its the best show ever made.
"Doomsday"
September 11, 1975
Prescient
Also: Really missed that super funky bass line from the opening credits to Barney Miller.
I recently read that even though Fish was as a doddering old man, in real life Vigoda was in good shape, exorcised alot and ate well, and was a vegan. He took care of his health.
Remember the episode where Fish accidentally ate some edibles?
He then went out on a call, burglar made the roof jumped to the next building, Fish was on him like a flash.
Exorcised? I didn’t know Vigoda was a priest.
@@phredphlintstone6455 Yeah, right when he found something that made him feel-GOOD...and then they made it illegal...!!! Yep, the ol' "Hashish-Brownies"-episode!! ☺
Yes it's all an act. He would outrun the others and exercised daily. He was in great shape and lived into his late 90's I believe.
@@620john620
BAHAHAHA
IMO, the show had the greatest actors who were just on the show for one episode , usually victims or criminals. The writers, casting directors, and actors just nailed those characters
Great show. I was too young to watch it "originally" but have enjoyed it since ... My mom's favorite show back in the day
that show just collected the most interesting character actors in the theater buisness
Really well written.
Engaging.
Very glad that someone mentioned that. Complete acting Pros like Kenneth Tigar and Jack Somack appeared at least twice on the show. Made for a very intriguing talent roster to say the least.😂B.W.
The Lady cop was Linda Lavin in one clip, shortly before she began to star in ALICE.
Omg, Abe Vigoda, maybe I spelled wrong, wow, I remember watching these new in "75" I was 15, loved this show, thanks for memory.
RIP Steve Landesberg
OH my gosh, I forgot how good that show was!
Something am gonna watch for a very long time, well done in throwing different sets together. All time great.
Wow. Linda Lavin pre-Alice.
WHAT a cast.
Great genius comedy. The show's plots, the guest offender actors and the regular cast timing of lines all hilarious.
2:03 Max Gail is trying not to laugh.
I remember he played a newspaper reporter in the show Whiz Kids after BM ended.
In the episode where Murdock played The Army Sargent. There was a great scene at the end when Nick told him he had served in WWII and Ravelle asked which side then Nick said he served in the Nisei all Japanese division in Italy.
Which is weird because in one of his last episodes he says he just turned 46 years old (in reality Jack Soo was in his 60s at the time), making him like 12 years old during WW2.
I can't wrap my head around 11 September "Doomsday", and my guys a Preacher....... I'm SHOOKETH
Scanlon was always one of my favorite characters. He wasn’t on often enough for me.
I love how OG Fish is. That's a cannon hanging in his armpit. Lol
2:44 and on with Steve Landesberg had me laughing so hard!!! Abe's expression was also fantastic!
This great Anarchy. Thanks for putting all this together like you have. Happy New Year !
Wojo and Deidrik were my two favs back in the 70s.
10yrs old where friends,bicycles,little league, and the local High School or community pool being open were the more important concerns. Twas a great time to be alive,perhaps the last generation to experience
True innocence.
Also some of the last families to actually sit down together and watch tv together almost nightly.
It’s true the old adage “youth is wasted on the young”.
Barney Miller and the crew where awesome I still watch all the reruns this is on my phone now love it ❤️
Actor Abe Vigoda appeared in movies and TV. The news media always put out mistaken claims that he had passed away so many times and as many times as they did he'd pop up somewhere and proved em wrong.
I think he's still alive and resides in some part of Brooklyn NY, just kidding - Fish RIP.
I saw him on stage in "Arsenic & Old Lace". I loved all the characters so much, I couldn't choose a fave.
I was one of THOSE people.
@@oluhamilton2121We all thought that Abe had passed away from time to time and he'd always pop up somewhere to surprise us and prove us all wrong. And who knows he might be out there and prove us all wrong again -- I'm kidding LOL ! And then again you never can tell....
That made my nite
Godfather
Wodjo would have liked the internet over yellow pages! "Where do I look?" Resources have changed a lot over the years!
I used to love this show.
Still one of my favorite sitcoms.
A lot of the hilarious jokes wouldn't be allowed today
MGBY All, loved this show back in the 70s and never missed an episode. Such great interaction and you felt as though your part of the team. ❤
Barney Miller was one of the best cop shows ever!!! Law And Order is right there with this show.
Epic show
The yellow pages..now that was a good book
Great piece. Thx. Best written sit com. Best sit com.
Thank you, wonderful compilation. Too bad James Cromwell was never a cop.
Well he was a crooked cop in L.A. Confidential.
Such a great show with a whole bunch of talent.
Never realized there so many that initially appeared as a guest who later became a cast member
Such fantastic writing and acting. One of the best sit-coms ever.
Hal L. IS GORGEOUS!
I agree 100% ♡♡♡
Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Life was so much simpler. 😞
The last scene had Selma Diamond, who went on to Night Court, and James (Jamie) Cromwell, who has done multiple movies and TV shows. He was Zephram Cochran in Star Trek: First Contact.
And he was the silent farmer in 'Babe'.
That wasn't Selma Diamond, it was Florence Halop.
The 12 !!!! that's the same as the precinct as in Castle !
My older brother loved this show on abc Thursday night he always watched it but my favorite Thursday night abc comedy was welcome back kotter we managed to watch both shows on one TV we shared back in the '70s.
So well written.
Was only expecting to watch a few minutes and wound up watching the whole 32 minutes. Show really holds up, definitely ahead of its time.
3:10 To think that Abe Vigoda outlived Steve Landesberg by many years.
Vigoda was much younger than he looked.
Abe passed just 4 years ago in 2016 , Steve back in 2010.
@@johnny-becker Abe was 53 when he started Barney Miller.
@@letter1967 I guess a 53 year old actor, if an older appearance, could play a 62 year old man.
@@johnny-becker Oh yeah.. He cracked me up.
Barney Miller no doubt is one of the top 5 greatest sitcoms of all time. The talent that was on this show,from season 1 to season 8,was amazing. So sad we’ve lost em all except for Max “Wojo” Gail & Hal “Barney” Linden. When real police departments around the country say it’s the closest to being the real thing,it speaks volumes to how great the writers & actors were…..considering how many police shows have been on television.
Thank God for the Ol’ One-Two!!!!
Such a genius show because some of all of us is in all of them.
MyUncle was a police detective in Jersey City, NY for over 40 years and loved this show. He said the squad room was as close to life as you could get and no other cop show came close.
All they had for information back then was the yellow pages...
One of my favorites when fish said its just the building catching its breath.
Holy crap Richard gere at 23:50. He's so young. I just love to see shows about life before computers.
Not Richard Gere, but a good facsimile.
21:17 The name on the screen is Paul Lieber. The year is 1980; Richard Gere was likely busy promoting his film, 'American Gigolo' at the time.
I used to watch Barney Miller with my dad. We both had some good laughs. Thanks for the memories.
The older cops and the better cops refers to the systematic corruption that existed in the New York Police department that was exposed in the 1970s
There's actually a serpico episode too.
