Long overdue.
This is about 4 years overdue. I look forward to picking it up, and I hope the next installment doesn't have to wait another 4 years.
The cast is just beginning to settle into their roles, though they are still adding detectives here an there, trying things out.
Season 3 is the golden season. The really hit a groove that year. I am looking forward to seeing some of these episodes though.
Detrich makes his first appearence this season in the episode Fish, about halfway through this season. But it's only one episode. Steve Landsberg also makes an appearence in the first episode of season 2 as Father Paul. His first full season is season 3 when he gets trained by Fish, and is constantly having to move from desk to desk.
Hilarious and long overdue......
BARNEY MILLER: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON is a great addition to anyone's DVD collection.
The show ran from 1975 to 1982, but, other than clothing and references to current events of the day, I found myself forgetting that this second season was originally broadcast more than thirty years ago. The jokes are fast and furious and Hal Linden (Barney Miller) and the rest of the cast are wonderful. The episodes run the gambit of scenarios. Everything from retirement to on-the-job romance to gay bashing are dealt with intelligently and humorously. I'm almost certain you'll find yourself watching these episodes again and again. These are hard times and it's important to make time for laughter. Life is too short.
The Looong wait is over!
