Barney
Miller

Barney Miller is a comedy television series set in a New York City police station in Greenwich Village that ran from January 23, 1975 to May 20, 1982 on ABC.

Captain Miller tries to remain sane while leading the NYPD's 12th Precinct's detectives: crotchety, nearing-retirement Jewish-American Philip K. Fish; naive, gung-ho but goodhearted Polish-American Det. Stanley "Wojo" Wojciehowicz; ambitious, intellectual, African-American Det.

Ronald "Ron" Nathan Harris; philosophical, wisecracking gambler Japanese-American Nick Yemana; and dauntless beleaguered Puerto Rican Chano Amanguale.

Barney Miller also has to deal with his unapologetically old-school superior, Deputy Inspector Frank Luger, and diminutive and obsequious uniformed Officer Carl Levitt, who passive-aggressively badgers Miller constantly about being promoted to detective.

The show's focus was split between the detectives' interactions with each other and with the suspects and witnesses they detained, processed, and interviewed.

Some typical conflicts and long running plotlines included Miller's frustration with red tape and paperwork.
