The 39 episodes are still funny today and I enjoy them immensely. The episode where Ralph goes bowling and needs to take a doctor physical the next day at work is my favorite. Norton takes Raplh's temperature and puts the termometer under his cigarette lighter to read and starts crying as it reads 111, cracks me up every time. The other is when is called to the IRS office for his tax return.
Ensemble shows like Barney Miller and Taxi were shows that produced a lot of laughs. Fish asking Barney for time off so he could down to payroll to prove he wasn't dead. LOL When a friend of mine said Tessio was funny, I ddidn't believe until I saw it for myself. Good ole Abe Vigoda. They were great comedic shows.
Trivia - "Whos On First", routine is the only thing in the Baseball Hall of Fame that is not baseball related.

There was a retired NYC detective who lives in the Villages who said that
Barney Miller was the closest approximation of what it is really like to be a cop in NYC. Second was
Blue Bloods.
I like Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, George Carlin, Mark Twain, the Monty Python crew, Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld, & Larry David.
