Dingy Honest Cops

Barney Miller was the first cop show in a drab setting that I remember on TV.  Back in the 1970’s Barney, Wojo, Fish and the gang always looked tired– but they still showed up for work every night.  Abe Vigoda NEVER smiled except for publicity shots like the one above.  It’s cool to watch this show again on YouTube when I’m done working and I feel a little tired myself.  Here’s a list of episodes.
