why did he leave..
Barney Miller??
shareDid you notice the obituary you posted answered your previous question?
shareyes. a show i never heard of.
shareI vaguely recall seeing an episode when it came on. Like Barney Miller & later on Night Court, the basic premise was viable: a core cast in a work situation where there would be a constant stream of varied characters passing through. But it just didn't catch on.
shareBarney Miller ran for eight seasons. The producer ended production of Barney Miller for fear of repeating storylines; the show was not canceled by the network.
In 2013, TV Guide ranked Barney Miller at No. 46 on its list of the 60 best series of all time.
It caught on.
