Barney Miller was one of my favorites, along with Dick Van Dyke and yes.......The Mary Tyler Moore show. I always thought Ted was a hoot and Lou often stole the show.
Watched all three, but was a total Barney Miller and MTM addict. Both had GREAT supporting casts. Jack Soo's and Steve Landesberg's dry, dead pan wit on Barney Miller would have me rolling on the floor. Ted knight and Ed Asner would do the same to me.
You can throw in Betty White's performance on MTM too. At 87 she seems still to be running on all 8 cylinders. She worked in a film this year (The Proposal - due on DVD Oct. 13), and has another currently in production and slated for release next year (You Again). Hell of a gal!
