I first got into Barney Miller in my first year of university, when a Canadian cable channel was running the show five times a week.I had no idea they were running it but I flipped onto one of the weaker early episodes once. Eventually I ended up catching better episodes, and after finding more about the show starting watching regularly when they were running season 3.Unfortunately the channel didn't keep with the reruns long enough to get through the entire series run, but by the time they dropped the show in the middle of season 7, this sitcom about the mundane work of plainclothes detectives in Greenwich Village cemented itself on my all-time favorites list.
