Barney Miller!

[avram]

Hey, TVLAND (Channel 18 on Brooklyn Cablevision) shows old Barney Miller reruns at 2:30 AM! Excellent! I’d been wondering for a while why it seemed that nobody was showing it. One of the best sitcoms of all time.

I discovered it while trying out Watson, a way spiffy program for MacOS X. It’s a customized web services interface with a bunch of preset channels for things like Google searches, TV listings, weather forecasts, dictionary and encyclopedia lookups, etc.

And the hash brownies episode has been restored! For a while, during the worst of the War on Drugs hysteria it was yanked from syndication, but one of my housemates saw it a couple of days ago.

Ha! I had just come here to wonder whether they would dare restore the classic hash brownie episode!

I haven't seen it in years, so I was sad I missed it. I adored Barney Miller, I truly did.
