The Life and Times of Captain Barney Miller

Episode 49: Fish

We've paused between Barney Miller seasons 7 and 8 to take a look at the spin-off show, Fish. Abe Vigoda is back as Phil Fish and Florence Stanley as Bernice. Also along for the ride is a cavalcade of kids (some familiar to us, and some new) and Barry Gordon doing his best at a Woody Allen impression.

Chris and Mike cover the "highlights" and lowlights of this ill-conceived show.

The word we've used to describe Season 7 of Barney Miller is "uneven". These three episodes are great examples of that with the fairly strong episodes "The Doll" and "Lady and the Bomb" in which we get the usual strange people coming to the Old One Two (including the re-appearance of Fish. "Riot", however, is a tin-eared "very special episode". https://bit.ly/3Ln5GBu

We continue to plod through the seventh season of Barney Miller with another uneven group of episodes. We meet a grammar N**i in "The Psychic" and a real N**i in "The Librarian". In-between we find out that Carl Levitt can speak American Sign Language in the sublime episode "Stormy Weather" where a deaf pr******te is under arrest. https://bit.ly/4dCN7Gm

Stolen from another Barney group. I think I made the same remark about Levitt's jacket:

This three episode run of Barney Miller was the beginning, middle, and end of a new Detective in the old One-Two, Det. Sgt. Eric Dorsey (Paul Lieber). Sitting at Nick's desk, Dorsey was a quasi-Dietrich in his humor but couldn't ingratiate himself with his fellow detectives. We chart the introduction and fall of this ill-concieved character as we continue our trek through the uneven 7th season. https://bit.ly/3PbKqAO

Welcome to season seven of Barney Miller where the guys of the old 1-2 are experimenting with new haircuts and toupees as we scream our way into the 1980s. We start off with a two-parter where the precinct shifts to dealing solely with homicides before abruptly shifting back. We follow that up with a story about a delegate to the 1976 democratic convention who's still hanging out in New York and indulging in all of his vices.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just found out that the Barney Miller episodes on Amazon Prime are not the full episodes. They lack the pre-credit sequences and put the credits in later on.
