In 2003, General Mills had a promotion where DVDs of old TV shows would be included in cereal boxes. This is a very special episode to me because it was the very first episode I ever watched. I’m not Roger Ebert I’m here to provide a guide to the Barney Miller novice, without reflecting too much on myself. I don’t like to get too personal on these reviews. And Powell would likely be thankful for that. Dietrich knows it’s just enough to keep Gerrity on his toes. An oblivious Powell smiles at Gerrity, prompting fear that Powell is planning sadistic revenge. Dietrich reminds Gerrity about the second half of his prediction. Though Ed Gerrity’s a paranoid cynic, suspicious of anyone’s motives, Paul Powell is genuinely thankful for the room and board Gerrity’s provided. Engels is much more of an empiricist, to the point where he rebuffs a Thanksgiving greeting more forcefully than Dietrich did.Ī happier ending greets the other case. Barney tactfully allows her the dignity of ambiguity, while Dr. But she believes she killed him, and possibly her father. No, she didn’t kill her husband, in fact he left her. Biederman was committed by his son for “making too much noise,” and Dietrich certainly didn’t think that Dukane had a problem in advocating nudism. There was some doubt whether or not the automat would press charges, but the main concern was the patients’ conditions. There’s an old man, Rudolf Biederman, who replies to Wojo’s condescension with sarcasm, Ana Rada was caught attacking an automat employee who feels extreme guilt for murdering her husband, and Dukane, a chronic nudist. Of course, Wojo’s a bit condescending to the patients as he loudly instructs them to enter the squad room. Susan Davis’ performance as Nurse Krewson is like a flirtatious Jane Curtin who explains herself to Harris, leaving him a bit flustered when she leaves and he has to explain himself to Kenny. Engels “that’s the way he refers to himself,” are worried about three patients that have “wandered off.” He’s brought two of his staff, Kenny Brewer and Nurse Krewson, both of whom were locked in the closet by the patients while the two of them were “checking inventory.” Dietrich informs him of two trends: first that many artists only gain fame after death, and second that family victims of such attacks usually don’t press charges, but may plot revenge.Ī slightly agitated shrink, Dr. Gerrity’s while he tries to make it in art, to Gerrity’s chagrin.

At any rate, Luger tells Dietrich that even agnostics can greet each other with a “Happy Thanksgiving” as it’s just a greeting to use like “Hi buddy!” Dietrich deliciously counters Luger’s next attempt to elicit a reciprocal response to “Happy Thanksgiving” by saying “Hi buddy!” I suppose that is the thanking being done on this particular holiday, though it didn’t occur to me growing up. But Dietrich’s agnosticism prevents him from thanking any specific deity. Wojo’s got a hot date for the evening, and Luger, as usual, passive-aggressively courts an invitation from Barney and family to ameliorate his loneliness.Īt least he gets the jump on Levitt on wishing everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving!” In particular, he wants to wish, and receive wishes, from Dietrich. So he celebrates by betting on Alcorn State, underdogs playing their arch rivals. They play football on Thanksgiving right?
