I miss Jack Soo.

I loved the Witch Mountain movies -- can't remember Soo in that, though. I also loved Barny Miller, great show.

I LOOVED Barney Miller.

Fish was my favorite.

Fish was great, but he already gets all the fame. And Nick Yemana did the world-weary thing just as well. He deserves a spotlight.

My sister was friends with an NYC cop in the '70s who told her that Barney Miller was the only realistic police show on TV.

The author of Blue Blood says the same thing.

I loved him on Barney Miller, his face was so expressive.

It was also nice to see an Asian guy on TV who wasn't either some houseboy stereotype or a kung-fu master.

In honor of him I'll make a pot of incredibly bad coffee tomorrow.

And follow it up with some laced brownies. Then we can go to the beach and shoot some clams?
