S8 E9 Pilot Season "Barney Miller"

Show of hands.  Who enjoys dry humor, ensemble casts, urban blight, and weary sarcasm, most of which is largely confined to one room in a grimy, confined 1970s NYC police precinct?  If your hand is raised, than Barney Miller is the television program for you!  I love this series and you should too!  It's smart, impeccably acted, and funny as hell.  However, the pilot was a little underbaked and I'm not sure the producers really knew what they wanted this series to be.  So grab a cup of bitter coffee and let's chat about this 70s gem.
