Subject: RE: BS: Barney Miller
Wojo was kinda sexy in his way...at any rate he seemed to be the one who was always gettin' some (or talking about it)...

for sheer animal magnetism, I liked the foxy (if fastidious) Harris...

my favorite lines from some of these guys:

on being asked by Barney during a heat wave, "Don't you sweat?" Harris replies, "It's a question of values. This is a fifty-dollar shirt."

after a gorgeous, intelligent woman walks through the squad room, Harris says:
"She walks in beauty like the night, Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes... (pause) Lord Byron."

to which Dietrich replies: "There is nothing like a dame... (pause) Oscar Hammerstein." star
