All characters from “Barney Miller.”
Wentworth was a detective played by Linda Lavin. Zatelli was the uniformed cop who did occasional clerical duties (and eventually came out as gay).
Was Elizabeth Barney’s wife (Barbara Barrie)?
Scanlon doesn’t ring a bell…
Frostillicus, Proposition Joe is from The Wire.
Jerzei Balowski
John Constable
Alice Richards
Ralph Kane
Oops, forgot to add one of my own:
Zeeno
I’m guessing that Ben Scanlon is the DA from “The Green Hornet.” I do know his name was Scanlon.
BTW, the actor who portrayed him, Walter Brooke, was a very, very busy actor, though I doubt he ever saw any serious paydays. He uttered one of the best known quotes in film history: “Plastics.”
Allie’s sportscaster boyfriend on Kate and Allie .
And Captain Bass was the district commander on NYPD Blue .
Mine again:
Steve Richards
Dirk
Duddleson
Wasn’t that the placekicker Oscar Madison tried to set Myrna up with on The Odd Couple ? “Keek!”
“What happened to dinner?”
“He ‘keeked’ it out the window!”
Yes, want2know. Very good.
No, not him. Just to avoid confusion with that Donovan, I’ll clarify: “The Art Donovan I’m thinking of was a character in an hour-long drama show.”
Bit of a hint too, I guess–it rules out half-hour sitcoms.
Paolo
Whitey (I had to look this one up to get the name–from a half-hour sit-com)
Winnie and Nelson
One of Beaver’s friends on Leave it to Beaver.
Mine:
Greedy Gretchen (sort of a character–she was never seen)
Whitey was one of Beaver’s pals on Leave it to Beaver .
Winnie and Nelson were Sondra and Elvin’s twins on The Cosby Show .
F Troop…Duddleson.
Wow, that takes this NYPD Blue fan back a few years!
Low-level snitch and hustler, with very annoying mannerisms, whose major score was a $40,000 reward for helping the detectives locate a kidnapped businessman.
Yes, i’m a BIG fan.
Excellent, mhendo !
And Foxy40 is also correct on Duddleson.
Just Dirk left; hint: must-seetm sitcom.
Paolo was the swarthy foreign guy Rachel used to bang before she hooked up with Ross on Friends.
How about:
Tino
Eugene Belvin
The Dregs of Humanity (band)
WAG The Drew Carey Show?
Hint: The Whitey I was thinking of was not human.
Dr. Ellis West
Yep. Barbara Barrie was “Elizabeth.”
Det. Scanlon was a recurring character from (I think) Internal Affairs with a grudge against the precinct and showed up occasionally to harass them.
Here’s some more,
Mike Yates
John Benton
Lytton (no first name given)
Sabalom Glitz
My GOD, that’s familiar! I don’t know it and it’s going to bug me until I figure it out. Silver Spoons, maybe??
As long as we’re doing bands, I’ve got a relatively easy one:
