I remember "Benson" reruns on KWGN back in my college years, but I don't think I've ever seen "Barney Miller." Before college my viewing was restricted to NBC and PBS, so there is a lot of stuff out there, which I'm old enought to have seen, which I just haven't seen.

Dan,

You'll get to meet Fish, who was probably my favorite character in Barney Miller. Both shows are great additions to their classic TV lineup.

Barney Miller went through a lot of transition over the years. It was never a big favorite, but I tended to watch it. Some seasons are better than others, which is the norm I guess for most shows.
