You kids today have no idea what a great show Barney Miller was.

He was funny as hell on there.

Ron Glass guest starred in my favorite All In The Family episode, "Everybody Tells The Truth". Various Rashomon-like perspectives show him as a regular guy, an Uncle Tom, and an overbearing militant.

Absolutely. It's a damn shame we never got to see more of his story.
