When Hal Linden, 94, took the stage on the Hollywood Present alongside his pal and fellow Barney Miller costar Max Gail, 82, it gave followers goosebumps. The 2 TV legends reuniting once more onstage was shifting for all. Over seven unforgettable seasons (1975-82), Linden sat within the eye of the storm as Captain Barney Miller within the New York Police Division’s twelfth precinct, which was crammed with insanity, mayhem and some midlife crises (many of the aforementioned coming from his personal employees). Gail was by his facet as Officer Stan “Wojo” Wojciehowicz.
The group roared to see the 2 sitcom icons take the stage and chat vibrantly for nearly an hour, by no means skipping a beat as they mirrored on the collection and shared behind-the-scenes recollections of creating the multi-Emmy-winning collection, 40+ years later.
