About

You can stream Barney Miller (1975) on Philo with a subscription.

Barney Miller is the kind of cop we'd all like to run into. Always sensible, he maintains order over a band of detectives who gamble, hit on anything in skirts, go to renaissance philosophy conventions for fun, and would really prefer to be writing. Nearly all of the action takes place in the squad room where citizens and criminals are brought in to complicate the mix.

The weary officers of a Greenwich Village precinct spend more time managing eccentric local characters than actually solving crimes. This sharp comedy finds its rhythm in the dry, rhythmic banter shared between men stuck behind a cluttered desk.
