notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Jail door used on television series <i>Barney Miller</i>. Consistent high quality in acting, writing, and directing made <i>Barney Miller</i> (1975-1982) a leading television program for 170 weekly installments over eight seasons. While the format was a comedy set in a New York City detective office, the program dealt frankly with social, economic, and ethical issues. Wide-ranging topical questions were explored with directness and superior artistry, but the emphasis remained on recognizable individuals trying to live their lives in a large, impersonal, and confusing metropolis.
