I remember watching Barney Miller as a kid. i must have been 2 or 3, but its one of my earliest TV memories.
the only episode i remember is the one where they arrest a guy who claims to be Jesus. i also had a bass line in my for years, and couldnt remember where it was from, until, through youtube, I heard the Barney Miller theme. badass.
I don't remember much else about the show. I should watch it again.
There were jail regulars that would be held at the precinct from time to time .
One was a gay man and the show used his character to address the issues of homosexuality and discrimination. I recall Barney addressing the room of his cops and explaining how the preferred term is "gay bar" and not "queer" or something like that.
