Movie Reviews of Barney Miller: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: Barney Miller. Second Series.
Summary: 5 Stars
Along with Police Squad, this has to be one of the funniest Police skits of all time. It rarely steps out of the squad room, but the programme seems richer for it because we can really get to grips with the depth of the characters within the series. There's seriously funny one liners alongside some really subtle stuff, as well as some very pertinent moments that tug on your heart strings like a bulldozer. On top of that, you get the wierd and wonderful characters that occupy the cage from time to time.
Thouroughly recommended.
Summary of Barney Miller: The Complete Second Season
Changes are in store for the men of the 12th Precinct in the second season of Barney Miller, which is presented in its entirety in this three-disc, no-frills collection. Chief among the wrinkles to the show's proven formula are the departure of Gregory Sierra's Chano Amenguale, who would leave for his own series after this season; also, Barbara Barrie, who made a strong impression as Barney's wife Liz in the first season, would be relegated to the sidelines for much of this episode run before leaving the series, though she does earn her own storyline for the first and only time in "Social Worker." Otherwise, the second season is focused largely on Barney and the rest of the detectives (as most fans preferred) as they wrangle with crazed gunmen ("The Sniper"), a marauding rodent ("You Dirty Rat"), job insecurity ("The Layoff") and a punishing New York city summer ("Heat Wave"). Hal Linden's smart performance as Barney remains the glue that holds the series together, though there is excellent work from Abe Vigoda as Fish and Max Gail as Wojciehowicz, especially in "The Kid" (Fish becomes enamored of a pickpocket's mother) and "Discovery" (Wojo investigates police harassment of a gay couple). Series followers will also note the presence of future cast members Steve Landesburg and Ron Carey among the guest cast; both would join the show (as Detective Arthur Dietrich and Office Carl Levitt) in the third season. Video quality is a little worse for wear in certain episodes; the set also features two superfluous "mini-episodes" of Charlie's Angels and The Facts of Life as its supplemental features. --Paul GaitaThis classic television comedy which ran on ABC-TV from 1975-1982 details the exploits of Greenwich Village police captain Barney Miller (Hal Linden) and his diverse group of coworkers as they deal with an endless stream of strange characters--criminal and otherwise--on the job. Notable for a its stellar cast and smart character-driven story lines BARNEY MILLER was a success with critics and audiences alike. The strong cast includes Abe Vigoda (whose character Detective Fish got his own spinoff series in 1978) Max Gail Ron Glass Jack Soo Barbara Barrie and Gregory Sierra. This set includes the entire second season.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 043396229679 Manufacturer No: 22967
