- This is an excerpt from a Barney Miller episode called, "The Harris Incident." It is a serious episode, in which Harris (Ron Glass) is in the process of arresting a felon when he gets interrupted by a pair of trigger happy patrolmen, who shoot at him, mistaking him for a holdup man.
Barney Miller is some of the best writing and acting on television... even after all these years.
I still watch “Barney Miller” and “Adam-12”. One of my top favorite episodes is “The Hero” regarding Sgt Amengul who has a good shoot during a bank robbery and the episode shows how it weighed on him. Modern cop shows don’t show that.
"Y'know, it only takes 2 to make a dialogue. 5 to make popcorn. That's what Barney said." Brilliant! LMAO! Dietrich is the man.
Wojo is such a good friend who feels for his colleague.
You don’t see shows like this today. Ron glass was excellent as an actor, always made me laugh!
Ron Glass (and the writers) really crafted some interesting nuances in the Harris character as the show developed. Great show and great acting. RIP.
Mike Gulliver yes all these characters were so nuanced and layered they could have been just one dimensional stereotypes but the cast and writers made them real people. Harris is such a great character especially for a black actor because how many educated black men that dressed well and were still hip and in touch with their blackness were shown on television at that time? still not many now. Ron Harris paved the way for Kyle Barker on Living Single and Carter Haywood from Spin City

I watched this show when I was in my teens and I thought it was "just ok"
Flash forward several decades, 26 years in law enforcement and this show to me is incredible 👏 ❤
It was a miracle. I was also a teenager during the time and simply adored it. Thought the cast was perfect. It always came on after Welcome Back Kotter on Thursdays. Kotter was my brother's fav; I'd watch that with him and he'd examine Barney with me.
Wojo's expression and tiny nod a few seconds after Barney says, "We can handle it," at 4:16 is utterly incredible. The empathy and compassion is perfection. There is so much "between the lines" in this scene, brings tears to my eyes.
You know.....I've seen this episode a hundred times....and this is the 1st time I noticed that. Then I came across your comment. Tha acting on BM was incredible. Never to be replicated.
Very subtle, and very effective...
Yeah, if you aren't paying attention, you'll miss his subtle nod that tells his partner, "We got this." What an awesome detail brought to life in such an understated way.
"WE can handle it.." - Wish there were more Barney Millers in this world.
Bond Pyant Absolutely!! 👍
A cool boss😃
"We" made all the difference.🌈
"Amen"
There are, it's just that when they speak up they're mocked, called liars and shamed into silence... So, why bother anymore....
One of the, if not best series ever on TV. The cast and characters and writing were top notch. Look at the piece of crap on TV now. I’m glad that I got to experience quality TV like this...
I heard that Maxwell.
"It was a bad day"... "There might be more".."There WILL. Be more".... "We can handle it"... That episode and those words mean so much right now,ya think?
No
YEs, I do. To think this episode was written and aired 40 years ago. We obviously didn't get it then, and some of us still won't today, but it was incredible. This show was one of my father's favorite sitcoms ever, and now I see why. It was one of the deepest shows ever, but I hardly think it got the acclaim it deserved.
One of the greatest scenes in Comedy Television.Max Gail and Hal Linden were fantastic 😊"Takes 5 to make Popcorn, that's what Barney said,".... Classic,..
This episode was definitely ahead of it's time! Great show!! I remember it as a kid and still enjoy watching it!! Funny as hell!!!
R.I.P Ron Glass, so cool as Harris
Loved Ron, my dad loved that show.
Yeah, he was great as Harris. He was equally good as Book on Firefly.
That explains why I didn't see him after those two episodes of Agents of SHIELD. RIP
He definitely helped make the show 💗😪💗
He and Yemana will always be my favorites...then as well as now.
I wish I hadn't been too young to really appreciate this show when it was on the air.
This episode won an Emmy for best directing.
Really?
Really?
Ohh really 😆
Wojo was not the deep thinker Ditrich was or possess the grace of Barney. He was not as suave and charismatic as Harris, but he was the most genuine.
🔊🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉2.30pm...like Barney Miller said..sorry your not in the mood. Good way of telling people not everything in life is timed just to suit your personal needs!!!!!
Thats says a lot in Volume!!!

My favorite Harris moment was the episode where Barney arrested a priest and Harris asked him if he threw the good book at him. My god, that was funny.
My favorite Harris moment was when he came in the squad room dressed as a woman for decoy duty and looked so elegant the guys were speechless and Barney told him he was beautiful and Harris says "Hey, I want to look good........but not better!"
Insert Shepherd Book joke here
Now that's funny
Dietrich: .....that's what Barney said.
Ooo, I lost it. That was gold!! 😅😊😂
Damn this was a good show. They had great scripts, and these guys were/are great actors.
"You mean the book written by the man!" Great episode. Love you, Ron. Rest in paradise.
This scene beats whole episodes of Blackish or Colbert or any of these late night political talk shows trying to do issues. Because this scene is done with such nuance and depth all while still being intelligent, respectful and FUNNY! Great writers and Ron Glass created an amazing character in Harris. Ron was made for the role. Same for the rest of this epic ensemble.
I thought it was touching that Wojo seemed on the brink of tears while he was confronting Harris.
@@WobblinGoblin1 Great acting by Max Gail there. The whole cast killed this one.
Barney Miller was the first & only TV show I made a point to be home for. Great regular's & endless possibilities. Wife & the hit man, rich beggar, hash brownies.
It’s wonderful that the writing United them against what ever hurt Harris.
And the sharpest dresser.
He look like my cousin ex - husband lol...
Yes Harris was the best dress person
No doubt
This is one of the best episodes.
Wojo is spot on and Barney's "Dietrich!" 😄
The cast of this episode are the best ones
Everyone of them has their quirks that are hilarious except Barney. He's just a rock that holds it all together. That was a great show.
Great show. So well written and acted. Definitely ahead of its time. I can still remember watching the pilot so many years ago....
What a great show. Can you please give us more.
I wish the dialog today was as honest as in this episode. It takes communication.
Back then you said what you thought. Nobody had to guess or make "assumptions" you meant something other than what you said. Honest dialogue overcomes a multitude of sins, ALLOWING people to do some self-reflection when "the other side" is HEARD. Not guessed at. When we guess, we almost always go worst-case scenario. So often it is not.
Barney had that look on his face after wojo missed the point. He had that look that said, "get out."
"Semantics is my life!"
Why didn't anyone tell me Harris was black? Lol.
He didn't talk, dress or act "black". But then most DON'T. Not in the real world. Only on TV.
@@tomswinburn1778 🤣 ABSOLUTE truth !!
@@tomswinburn1778 THIS. Nobody in real life "acts" a race.
Absolutely love this show. Still binge watch👍🏼😄🌟❤️
I laughed at the popcorn joke. That was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
If only all police chiefs were as cool as Barn.....
This show was way ahead of its time.
This series is just as fresh today as it was when I watched it 40 years ago.
You are right but it also means we as citizens of the U. S. have made so little progress on race relations. Sad and tired of the caste system.
Best show ever.
Great memory looking back, funny cop show, usually they were serious shows, this was a good way of humanizing law enforcement.
I wanted Harris’s Afro then and I want it now! Sadly I was in the USAF at the time and now I’m an old man.😥
It beats the alternative! Thank you for your service!!
Don't blame you, Harris is one sexy man.
Get your afro back man.
There is another great scene in the series where Miller confronts Harris in his office about not wanting to wear a uniform, and having more of an interest in his book, and approach to his work when Harris angrily rebukes Miller for his lack of prospects.
I believe that Harris used the expression "severely limited"
Wojo looks and acts like Lloyd from Dumb & Dumber. I had such a crush on Harris; sharp dresser, smart man and very attractive. ❤️ This was a great show, I still watch the reruns on FeTv every night.
They had some good writers on that show.
Good? Naw, man, the very best ever. The talent and skill these writers had were a dime a dozen and you don't see that today. Not the same experience or passion in sitcom writing as there used to be. I don't think you'd get writers over 22 in a writers room today.
Barney and Levitt!! LMAO
Love this show.
I miss this show
I miss shows like this!
Semantics are my life....No truer words have ever been spoken haha
So timely for the now - and always. I'm happy to acknowledge someone in pretty much whatever want they want. And I understand that what you've gone through in your life - all the bad and all the good, I can never know what that was like. But I hope we can always find common ground as the brothers and sisters we are and make tomorrow a better place for all of us. I would love it of we could look back at 2020 as the year that made everything change for the better. Well, if wishes were horses...
Saw this on tv today.. 15 June 2020
I have always loved Barney Miller. Special problems..
... still so relevant
...still so far to go
I have yet to see the beginning of this episode.
He was shot at, by other 👮
My favorite episode is when Nick and Harris ate the brownies with hash in them. Plus the theme song is the bomb especially season 3
I truly miss that T.V. show! 😢 It was great!
I never realized how good this was, compared to the shit on TV today
Why do I remember Nick starting to tell the polish joke to someone. Wojo yelling a straight answer to Nick... "just like everyone else!" Nick replying in his calm indifferent character, "That's not the way Barney tells it." Wojo turns to Barney just in time to see the office door swing shut.
Even remember Barney making his paper runs to desks. Comes to Nick's desk when Nick begins telling the joke. Barney snaps up & walks quickly to his office.
What a scene !! What a scene !! Wouldn't fly today with all the PC!! But this is what we need. Dialogue. More than ever. Just takes 2 people. For popcorn only 5. Dietrich....you devil you...!!!
One of my favorite episodes!
I think Barney Miller is the only "diverse" sitcom! It respected the diversity!
It WAS diverse, but it worked well not because of its diversity, it worked well because of the quality of the actors and scripts. IMO, Barney Miller is on the Mt. Rushmore of sitcoms.
As was proven with many series in the 1970s, the writers used humor to open up discussions on racism and bigotry. All in the Family, M*A*S*H, Barney Miller and others tackled issues people didn't like to address because it made them uncomfortable. The levity opened a door that usually remained closed to a fuller understanding of problems and unspoken evils.
Knock knock?
Who’s There?
Polish Burglar
Wojo is the greatest!
This was one of the best shows ever watched as a kid and still watching
Harris was my favorite
A Polish joke is nothing like being shot at.
Ron Glass had to fight to end this episode to end with how it truly feels to be in law enforcement and be a Black African in the US.
Great show, watch it everyday, if can't I record it,
Lmao😂🤣😂😅5 to make popcorn
Oh Dietrich..... 😅😁
If Wojo really wants to know the answer, he should ask Archie Bunker. Lol
I always want them to hug.
This is the only cop show I can watch. This show had hope, the others were about fear and wot scared average people!
Barney was the best manager.
it only takes two to make a dialog and 5 to make popcorn
Classic comedy/drama!
This was one of many shows that influenced my attitude about police officers. I always have respected them. They were parents of friends and family. It's a shame that they have allowed some really bad bad to infiltrate their ranks and destroy their credibility and standing in the world.
Class class class
POWERFUL........♥️☄🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕯☯️🕉🔱⛾.
3:45 That's what I'm talking about! I'm Jewish & I have no problem with people based on their race or other demographics. But I have no patience for people thinking I should try to read their minds & know what will offend them. Just don't insult me on purpose & don't threaten my existence, then we're fine.
No, I don't even notice. When I was in college, one other student was South African. The only thing that pointed out his origin was our own weather. It never occurred to me he hadn't seen snow before. Someone had to take him shopping for Winter Clothes when he thought a little bit of snow was our Blizzard. No, it was only 2 below zero. When we DID have a blizzard, at 40 below Zero, we told him THIS was as severe as our weather gets.
Miller was at fault, too, in a different episode with Levit. Levitt was turned down for a promotion due to his hieght.
I think that's when Dietricht was brought on.
The best!!!
How about a Lithuanian joke for Barney
Or a Jewish joke for Harold Lipschitz?
Barney Miller was Jewish. It is only mentioned about twice on the show.
So I didn't imagine that? Something about changing it Ellis Island, right?
June 2020. ThanQ
...GOLD...
My younger brother and I used to think that that was the funniest show on TV before it's time I think one of the best episodes is Nick with Mushi Mushi Mushi just my opinion
90% of Polish jokes were recycled from Irish jokes from England.
Hilarious!
Harris? What happened to Ron? 🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏻
What episode was this? I want to know what caused the disagreement in the squad room.
John Becker The Harris Incident
@@Agent-xn1hr Thanks Agent, I'll watch it next
]
@@Agent-xn1hr Oh... so the exact name of the clip... I thought that was just it, the name of the clip, not the episode.
John the issue here was cops racial profiling other cops! Wojo and Harris did a plain clothes case and the other white cop assumed Harris was the perp because he was black! Forcing Barneys squad to have ro deal with racial srereoryping!
I like that joke. 1 to hold the pan and 4 to shake the stove.
Our family has heard/said similar. Three people. One to hold the pan over the fire, and two to shake the person with the pan. (Our family is part Polish.). Eventually, it, just, became directed at my family with "Grace of a Chase."
Great show. Terrible laugh track
Well it is a sitcom. And honestly Barney Miller has probably the most realistic laugh track I ever heard. I never wouldve known they stopped using a live audience around the 3rd season. If you don't like it you should watch a single camera
All I try to watch are programs from this era new stuff sucks
So what happened exactly?
You Missed A Fantastic Episode
These things happen when people make other people less than human like 3/5 of a person.
I wonder why Polish jokes were a thing and why have they gone away like a fart in the wind.
I our family, they haven't. I AM part Polish, and now I call it "Grace Of A Chase." (My last name is, obviously, Chase.)
this is one of the few times I felt her Harris most of the time all I saw him as is a huge I'm better then you peacock he always acted like he was gods gift to the world and it owed him everything that he's supposed to be this special golden hero of life some of my favorite scenes are the one where hes humbeled and nocked down a peg or to but no one deserves this what happens sucks
What?
thats stupid lol
Waw
Hey Americans...binge watch this and you will get through Trump.
2 Weeks Left, not that I'm counting as a Canadian..
Yeah now we got a Alzheimer's patient in the White House way to go!!!
Probably the worst episode for legitimizing violence and pushing generic political garbage messaging.
