      Yeah that smartazz Deitrick,, but the facts don't really square with the script because although the kid said that it was only lacking the plutonium to make it operational, chemical explosives would be needed to initiate the fission reaction and those WOULD DEFINITELY be illegal to have sitting in a Manhattan apartment...

    By the way...interesting encounter when my family and I went to Orlando, Florida 2 yrs before the Pandemic shut everything down. We were all sitting around a pool at Port Orleans at Disney Resort. There was a gentleman (who looked about 70, gray hair, )sitting with a woman his age. Also with a bunch of his grand-kids. He was from Queens, NY...and a retired cop. I told him that I loved a lot of the Law & Order tv shows set in NYC. I asked if they were "true to life" in the line of police work. He grinned for a moment & said "Not too much..." and he gave me a reason why....can't really remember the reason. BUT when I asked him; "ARE there any cop shows set in NY that resemble the real world of policing in that town?" AND guess what...He mentioned that "Barney Miller" came the closest to fit the definition of real NY cop stuff. Awesome.

    I love how straight-faced the bomb squad guy is. He has, like, two actual jokes (“We don’t even have a training film…”), but the rest of the time just sounds like every half-competent co-worker you’ve ever known, and it’s hilarious. It’s a tricky kind of comedy to pull off, and it’s seldom, if ever, been done better than on Barney Miller.

    Japanese-American actor Jack Soo was born in Oakland, California, in 1917, his real name being Goro Suzuki. Died January 11, 1979 in Los Angeles, California, USA (esophageal cancer)
    His last words to Hal Linden as he was being wheeled into the operating room before his death were "It must have been the coffee." This was a reference to the running gag of his character Nick Yemana from Barney Miller (1975) having the reputation for making horrible coffee. ( IMDb )

      Yes, Barney doesn't get lots of laughs, compared to the others, but His humour is more subtle. Like in the 'Ice Age' one, He says to one of the Detectives about to take a Statement from one of the People who they've brought in, paranoid about the Ice Age coming:
      "Get His name, His address... which Oceans are freezing over..." 😆

    The nuke story line in this was based on real events. A student was needing something really BIG to pass his class. He designed a smaller nuclear bomb that could fit in the trunk of a car. I remember from reading about this that he was stuck on some aspect that would make the weapon work. Having spent days locked away trying to figure things out friends finally got him to go out with them for an evening. He hoped stepping away from the project would revitalize him so when he went back he could find the answer to what ever his problem.
    The friends took him to a strip club. Something about how on of the girls on stage was dancing gave him the solution to the problem he was having with his design. He ran back to school, finished the project, turned it in. He passed his course, and was immediately picked up by the FBI.

    🤣 Making an atomic bomb is child's play. There are diagrams and drawings in books and magazines. Obtaining the fissionable material (uranium 235, plutonium 239, etc) is the hard part, which helps to keep the spread of nukes down. Of course, not blowing yourself up or irradiating yourself can be a hurdle too.

    Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."

      @@felicia7756 I can't recall the episode or season of the Barney Miller episode where they talked about the windows (somebody wanted them open 'cause of a heatwave that made the precinct too hot and unbearable to work in), but there was a mention of it of them talking about opening the windows and the story goes that the windows were either nailed shut, painted so much so that it became painted shut or some other reason I can't remember that literally prevents the windows from opening (back in the '50s or some decade prior). I love Barney Miller too and have all episodes on DVD, and I remember asking myself about opening the window and that episode answered it for me. Been awhile since I watched, so I currently can't help you to name off the episode or season

      One would need enriched uranium or plutonium which is pretty impossible to get. If one had the uranium or plutonium, building a bomb probably wouldn’t be that hard, it’s just getting the product for the explosive.

      In the Late 1970s. A College Kid actually designed a Trinity/Nagasaki type device. The design was so accurate and workable that the U.S. Govt/NRC jumped on it and him. In the Late 1980s or Early 1990s. A kid scraped all kinds of old radioactive paint off clocks. He collected so much of it the EPA had to tear down his Parent's garage.
