Anyone remember Barney Miller from the 70s?

My office is like that in regards to coffee.

3. Abe Vigoda is still alive.

And I'm happy about that.

I bring my coffee from home - I see the guys out in the common area complaining about the company coffee and I want none of that. Who's gonna clean it up? Who's gonna make it? How strong? We want civet coffee from some monkey butt!

Nope. Not for me.

7. An interesting and true story

I had a number of friends in an organization to which I belonged. One, named George, was a Philly detective. Several of us were at a local diner for lunch and were discussing TV. When the topic of cop shows came up, someone asked George which one was most like his actual experiences. He said Barney Miller and that they really had detectives similar to Dietrich, Harris and Fish.

My tax dollars at work.

8. It was a great show. Except for the disturbing episode where

marital rape was a joke. A woman accused her husband of rape and the entire episode revolved around that "joke". Even as a kid it upset me.
