The Life & Times of Captain Barney Miller
Episode 47: The Doll + Lady and the Bomb + Riot
12 JUL 2024 · 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-appearnce of Fish. "Riot", however, is a tin-eared "very special episode".
Episode 46: Rachel + Contempt Part 1 & 2
14 JUN 2024 · Rachel Miller returns! Is your pulse racing yet? Mike and Chris discuss this bizarre episode where Wojo wants to date Barney's daughter. They also dive into the two-parter "Contempt" where Barney goes to the slam due to his principles.Â
Episode 45: The Psychic + Stormy Weather + The Librarian

We meet a grammar Nazi in "The Psychic" and a real Nazi 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 prostitute is under arrest.Â
Episode 44: Resignation + Field Associate + Movie
12 APR 2024 · Special guest Richard Hatem returns to discuss four episodes of Barney Miller! Resignation in which Deitrich tries to resign only to manage to insult all of his co-workers. Field Associate in which we learn that there's a snitch in the precinct. And the two-parter, Movie, wherein Harris becomes an auteur by creating a heady adult film.
Episode 43: Dorsey + Agent Orange + Call Girl
8 MAR 2024 · 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.
Episode 42: Homicide + The Delegate
12 FEB 2024 · 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.
Episode 41: The Inventor + The Architect + Fog
13 JAN 2024 · We're wrapping up the super sixth season of Barney Miller with three episodes that discuss topics as diverse as domestic terrorism, hypnosis, and intellectual property. We even discover a window in the 12th precinct that we never knew existed.

8 DEC 2023 · On this ultra-woke episode of The Life & Times of Barney Miller we discuss "Guns" wherein Wojo uses a bazooka against Barney, "Uniform Days" where Harris doesn't want to don the old blue threads, and the two-parter "Deitrich's Arrest."
