Barney Miller was so beyond good. Talk about characters, they were all kinda wacked out in their own way except Barney Miller. But it wasn't overdone or unreal. They all felt like really real people as opposed to a trope or some way awesome bucket of perfection.
hahaha, I saw the Wojo dude was on General Hospital a couple of years ago when my ma was still watching it. Glad to see him still working. He was kinda my fave on account of being sorta too ordinary compared to the rest, and everyman just trying to get through the day yet not quite sure of himself.
Seen reruns on some channel (H&I? Or some channel next to the one that shows The Waltons (Hallmark?), not sure), it still seems fresh. Weird thing is a lot of stuff from my childhood depresses me, especially that being a cop show. was never big on them or court room dramas, too many sad situations or people you wanted to smack upside the head.
I was big on Sci Fi, so I watched just about all, as crappy as they might be.
