Television coms and dramas equally take place in similar, well -known environments. There is no shortage of shows in hospitals, police stations and court halls (apart from more reserved shows that take place family -oriented and thus in someone at home) and not only in the current television series. But it was much more traditional that, for example, a cop show should be a drama; How could a show about the people who arrest criminals and try to do justice to the crimes committed? To be fair, this question has been relevant again recently and is directly related to Why “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” called a day in 2021.
For the same reasons, something similar could be said for a long time. Can you really crack jokes about a series that revolves around accused criminals? Perhaps it is fitting that a groundbreaking comedy in one of these non-funcing settings led to another groundbreaking comedy in another of these settings. To a joke: The NBC-sitcom of the mid-1980s was always a moderate success and a wonderful, occasional show that managed to be funny during the legal system, and it could only be thanks thanks to the existing existing. another Loopy Show in his own right: ABC’s Emmy-made cop sitcom “Barney Miller”.
Barney Miller (and an unfortunate sitcom) led to the night dish
“Barney Miller”, created by Danny Arnold, concentrated on the police and detectives of the 12th district of the New York police department in Greenwich Village. Since almost every episode of the eight seasons of the show took place within the borders of the district room of the district (similar to later series such as “Cheers” entire episodes, including the full first season, only set within the title bar in the titular bar),). The show was just about the people who worked the pace of the random oddballs they would draw for processing. Fans of more modern comedies like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” would feel at home with “Barney Miller”, even if the latter show was a little more ground.
In the period only a few channels, “Barney Miller” was a solid performance for ABC, although he was never the biggest show in the network. When it was premiered 50 years ago, it feels like a fascinating look at a completely different era, and it is no surprise that this is A large part of the occupation of “Barney Miller” has continued since then. (It wasn’t that long ago that Genre favorites Ron Glass diedFor example.) The series was popular enough to inspire a failed spin-off, “Fish”, about the detective of the same name of the gracious Irascible ABE Vigoda. The idea that one of his writers, Reinhold Weege, forced the success of the show to create something from his own, of course made a perfect sense.
Timing was what it is that Weege would only let “Nachtichie” to the ground after the conclusion of “Barney Miller” in 1982. Before this series ended, he had actually tried to create another series, the Illfated CBS -Sitcom “Park Place”, with character actor Harold Gould as a lead. Although you may not have heard of this series when she broadcast only four episodes in spring 1981, the general premise may be known. Despite Tony’s name, “Park Place” was in a New York legal clinic in New York and balanced between the idealistic lawyers who work there, their wise ladder, and the crazy customers they should take over. In a way, it feels like the reversal of “night court”, which would also concentrate on the eccentric people, which is judged by the Mely and magical judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson).
The night dish grew larger in several ways than Barney Miller
Although “Night Court” was never the largest sitcom on NBC in the 1980s, it had the advantage that some seasons were played behind “Prost”. Fans of this show undoubtedly recognized Anderson from his recurring role as Harry the Hat, a charming fraudster who would often be foolish the barflies and Sam Malone.
“Night Court” may not be that unstoppable, but in some important species it was somewhat larger than “Barney Miller”. While “Barney Miller” won the best comedy series Emmy for his last season and “Night Court” was only nominated, the latter series John Larroquette was four consecutive Emmys for the best supporting actor to the point where he literally removed his name Has from the dispute after the fourth victory. Likewise, “Night Court” ran nine seasons and almost 200 episodes – tricks that “Barney Miller” could not surpass.
In its own way, the show is a product of its time (after completion of 1992). With most of the “Nachtgericht” exposed since then unfortunately died since thenAnderson included. (It is just as sad that Weege, who died in 2012, 2020s. The continuation of the series is now in season third, with Melissa Rauch from “The Big Bang Theory” regalt as Stone’s daughter and Larroquette repeated his role as Loutish Dan Fielding . Although the revival of the show in relation to other modern sitcom neust, it is worth remembering that this series and its predecessor can only exist because “Barney Miller” 50 years ago Has determined existence.
