I nominate BARNEY MILLER as a great cop show..

I remember years ago watching Mike Douglas interviewing a veteran New York City detective. He asked him which cop show then on the air was the most realistic.

The detective answered "Barney Miller."

Douglas then asked him which was the least realistic. The detective answered "Hawaii Five-O. Because at the end of each episode McGarrett says "Book 'em, Danno!" And if that were actually the case you would never see Danno, he'd spend all his time in court."

Good mix of comedy and social commentary, likeable characters. They're back, on Antenna TV Sunday evenings. Just before WKRP.
