I think I saw the All in the Family Ep, he died in a car bomb in the end? That seemed lame.
I remember they sent a new detective (Steve Landesberg) in Barney Miller and Captain Miller said “It’s about time, (Jack Soo) has been gone for almost a year” and then the new guy says no he was sent to replace Chano (who’d been gone for years)....that was funny.
Yeah, car bomb. It was a shocking ending.
