Barney Miller rang in its seventh season with a few assorted homicides.

The long-running police sitcom starred Hal Linden as the titular captain, along with Max Gail, Ron Glass, James Gregory, and Steve Landesburg. In "Homicide: Part One" and "Homicide: Part Two" — episodes that ran on October 30 and November 6 of 1980 — the entire station gets overhauled into the NYPD's new homicide bureau. And these detectives are not happy about the switch from mediating lighthearted community spats to hunting down hit men, murderous wives, and serial killers.

Áine and Kevin report for duty to chat about “young, hot Stalin,” the Six Day War, Community and Parks and Recreation, and the nature of policing. In this episode, Áine must also deduce which Barney Miller character Kevin was often compared to as a lad.
