Long running U.S. comedy about the oddball plainclothes detectives of NY's 12th precinct, featuring the funkiest theme song ever.

I have only seen about 20 episodes so far but it is a very good series. I am tempted to just buy the series, or at least a few seasons, so I can watch more.

I don't think I've watched a single episode since it went off the air, so I'm not sure it holds up that well, but I still feel deep affection for the actors/characters, so I'll say 8 or 9. |

I haven't heard it in years possibly on TV Land or maybe when I was a tot. I'm not sure if it wins funkiest though. Google is my friend and Sampson and Son and surprisingly Night Court both had some serious funk going on. Not to mention there was a Shaft TV show. Shut yo mouth. Barney Miller the show gets at least a 7 probably an 8 since I was too young to get some of the jokes back in the day. I remember the intellectual oddball guy was a prototype for countless similar characters to follow. Det. John Munch perhaps? |

The theme from "Sampson and Son" was righteously funky. |

Yes Detective Dietrich. I think Richard Belzer may have partially based Det John Munch on that character. Det. Munch was originally on Homicide: Life on the Street and then was on a record setting number of shows on a record setting variety of networks. Possibly best know for Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

9/10. The closing credits roll over a shot of the Manhattan skyline that features the building I worked in for 26 years.
