BARNEY MILLER - The Doll

Air Date/Released Thursday, March 26, 1981
Station/Studio ABC / Four D Productions

The detectives of NYC's 12th Precinct in Greenwich Village solve their cases, while dealing with the predominantly eccentric victims and crooks that cross their paths.

A valuable antique doll is held for ransom, a man swindled into buying a phony passenger ticket on the space shuttle causes problems at a regional NASA office, and Luger decides to leave his life savings to Barney. In the episode prologue, Levitt is surprised to learn that intellectual Dietrich is a fan of the Three Stooges...
Levitt: Did you do anything last night?
Dietrich: Went to the movies.
Levitt: Foreign film?
Dietrich: Three Stooges festival at the Gramercy.
Levitt: Really? I wouldn't o'thought you went in for that sort of thing.
Dietrich: Are you kiddin'? They're my favorites. I think they're one of the most underrated comedy teams of the '30s and '40s. Surrealistic use of violence and mayhem, the almost Chekovian interplay between Curly and Moe...
Levitt: I like the ones with Shemp.
(pause) Dietrich: I don't think we have anything more to say to each other.
A few minutes later...
Dietrich: Captain, we have a disturbance on Broadway.
Barney: Okay, you and...
Dietrich: Shemp!
Levitt: (under his breath) They never let you forget.
