Barney Miller (1975)
The Best In TV History!
What a brilliant show! Rivals "All In The Family" for the title of best sitcom EVER! The writing and directing were always top-notch, and it featured, arguably, the best cast in sitcom history. The main cast was outstanding, led by the great Hal Linden in one of the all-time best straight-man performances. The other regulars - Ron Glass, Max Gail, Jack Soo, Steve Landesberg, the ageless Abe Vigoda, Gregory Sierra, Ron Carey, and James Gregory - were absolutely second-to-none; when you factor-in the "Danny Arnold Players" - the endless wave of veterans and newcomers who did outstanding turns as guest actors for eight years, then this cast had no equals. Just as funny, poignant, and outrageous in reruns today as it was when it debuted in January of 1975. It's a time capsule of television excellence that's STILL lauded by the law enforcement community as the best, most realistic depiction of police life ever. This show will never be equaled...
Echo (2023)
Wonderful!
I REALLY enjoyed this series! Seeing and hearing authentic (original) American voices & stories is something to be valued. The music is terrific, and really speaks to the heart. While I'm not of Native American ancestry myself, the full participation of The Choctaw Nation in the making of this series radiates authenticity at every turn. The lead, Alaqua Cox, has definite presence. The show also features many other talented actors that I'd love to see more of. Unfortunately, because it's not a Lily-white depiction of "Fanboy Action Heroes", it has been slammed by many. That's a shame. I applaud Marvel for giving us something other than blond-haired, blue-eyed "heroes". There's room for many in the American Diaspora...
