So long Little Levitt. (Also was good in a couple of Mel Brooks movies)

 

RIP.

 

Am I the only one that has never heard of most of these people we have RIP threads for?

 

You must be under 30.

 

Waaaaaaaaaay under.

 

He was a good little character. RIP.

 

Ron Carey was part of what could be called the greatest ensemble cast in the history of television comedy.

 

And Abe Vigoda outlasts another one.

 

Watching those old Barney Miller shows are bittersweet, because in the opening credits they would show the NY skyline, and you could tell how old the episodes were by whether the WTC was there or not.

And that is the Best. Bassline. Ever.

 

Thanks, FB. I've been humming that tune in my head for the last hour.

 

I remember reading once that in a poll of police officers, Barney Miller was voted the most realistic cop show in TV history. By a landslide.

 

So who's left from the cast? WoJo, Barney, Fish and Steve Landesberg (can't remember his character)?
