Changes are in store for the men of the 12th Precinct in the second season of Barney Miller, which is presented in its entirety in this three-disc, no-frills collection. Chief among the wrinkles to the show's proven formula are the departure of Gregory Sierra's Chano Amenguale, who would leave for his own series after this season; also, Barbara Barrie, who made a strong impression as Barney's wife Liz in the first season, would be relegated to the sidelines for much of this episode run before leaving the series, though she does earn her own storyline for the first and only time in 'Social Worker.' Otherwise, the second season is focused largely on Barney and the rest of the detectives (as most fans preferred) as they wrangle with crazed gunmen ('The Sniper'), a marauding rodent ('You Dirty Rat'), job insecurity ('The Layoff') and a punishing New York city summer ('Heat Wave'). Hal Linden's smart performance as Barney remains the glue that holds the series together, though there is excellent work from Abe Vigoda as Fish and Max Gail as Wojciehowicz, especially in 'The Kid' (Fish becomes enamored of a pickpocket's mother) and 'Discovery' (Wojo investigates police harassment of a gay couple). Series followers will also note the presence of future cast members Steve Landesburg and Ron Carey among the guest cast; both would join the show (as Detective Arthur Dietrich and Office Carl Levitt) in the third season. Video quality is a little worse for wear in certain episodes; the set also features two superfluous 'mini-episodes' of Charlie's Angels and The Facts of Life as its supplemental features. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Great show, great cast, low quality transfer
I am so glad to have this show, it has been worth the wait. The cast is stellar, the writing smart and what a trip down memory lane. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5: I am disappointed with the poor quality of picture on some of the episodes -- this is DVD man! But to be able to laugh over and over is definitely worth every penny. It is time for Sony to get on the ball and release the rest of the show. Thank you Hal Linden, Ron Glass, Max Gail and everyone in the cast for delivering great timeless performances.
Rating: - Barney Miller. Second Series.
Along with Police Squad, this has to be one of the funniest Police skits of all time. It rarely steps out of the squad room, but the programme seems richer for it because we can really get to grips with the depth of the characters within the series. There's seriously funny one liners alongside some really subtle stuff, as well as some very pertinent moments that tug on your heart strings like a bulldozer. On top of that, you get the wierd and wonderful characters that occupy the cage from time to time.
Thouroughly recommended.
Rating: - Barney Miller Season Two

Rating: - Desert Island TV
I'm not a DVD collector. No TV episodes. Only two exceptions: 1) Homicide: Life on the Street. 2) Barney Miller. These shows offer superior writing, casting, acting and story lines that literally embarrass the drivel festering today's airwaves. Always witty and oftentimes poignant, Barney Miller is simply great yucks and a joy to watch. This series improved consistently, especially from season 3 onwards, as the characters settled into their groove. A truly great ensemble cast! If all the remaining episodes were released today, Amazon would have my order within the hour. Essential television.
