...and Spock... and the whole cast of Barney Miller!

I'll see your Spock and raise with Data. I agree about Barney Miller. Although, I was always partial to Jack Soo's character.

Second Archie Bunker. O’Connor played him with a depth rare in television. (Or most other entertainment, these days.)

That robot was “B9”.

Hmmm, I never knew he (it?) had a name.

A very thoughtful and laid out article. I never put that much intellectual effort into the show, but as a conservative,what the author offers as a theme makes sense.

Most funny episode was Edith's change of life. That was a classic.
