Why are they releasing this? It is just a repeat release of a few season 3 episodes. Any real BARNEY MILLER fan really wants season 4.. and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8! I am delighted they have released the seasons they have done so far. But this DVD makes no sense. Except for someone who only wants a sampling of a few shows. They should just get on with releasing season 4. For the most part BARNEY MILLER just kept getting better as the seasons progressed.

I gave this 1 star because of the fact that the release is unnecessary. For content I would have given it 4 stars.

Thanks for the wonderful service! I am very happy to have so many beloved old tv shows available to me. This dvd, however, calls itself fan favorites, which made me think it might have some of my favorite episodes. In fact it is only a few episodes from season 3, which I already have. Not the seller's fault, but for future customers, that's all it is.

As others have said, Sony should get on with season 4 already and quit wasting time on junk like this.

C'mon....what goes on here. Barney Miller was popular enough to have lasted EIGHT seasons. There's got to be enough fans that want to see the remaining 5 seasons. This is a waste. Any fan of the series has these episodes.

No wonder people bootleg movies & TV shows, it's not right but Quit the marketing gimmicks & get those other seasons released.

It took almost 4 years to release 3 seasons of this great comedy.
How ridiculous that it took that amount of time! I wish Sony would quit wasting time on stuff like this "greatest hits" dvd and move on with releasing the remaining seasons, which is what people that are fans of this show really want to purchase!

To me, Barney Miller was good TV. All the characters were believable and so were the storylines. I rarely missed an episode and now find that reruns are broadcast on Sunday nights. That is what prompted me to buy my own copies. Now I can look at them when I want, not wait for reruns.

I agree that Sony should get off the dime and get the other seasons out but Season three is where the series begins to hit its stride--Werewolf, Quarantine, Recluse, Christmas Story--these are some of the great hallmarks of Barney Miller. We need more but this is a five in my book

Get on with releasing the final season sets and stop double dipping. Better yet... figure out a way to sell DVD on demand... or just release episodes digitally.

Starting with it's second season this show began to get really good. It had lots of funny characters in the regular cast and the guest actors. This was an intelligent show as it dealt with issues current at the time, most of which remain relevant to today's issues. The main thing about the show I enjoy(ed) is the interaction between the people coming into the precinct, (guest actors), and the detectives, (regulars). Good writing, good characters, lots of humanity all add up to one of the best TV sitcoms ever. Here's my vote for season 4, and more!

I agree with the other reviewers. Why re-hash old dvd releases where there are almost 100 episodes of Barney Miller that have never been released on DVD? Bring on season 4 and stop double dipping.
