Where was the setting for the TV sitcom "Barney Miller"?

The TV sitcom "Barney Miller" was set in Manhattan, specifically in a fictional New York City Police Department station in Greenwich Village, on Lower Manhattan's East 6th Street.

The series followed Captain Barney Miller and the detectives assigned to the fictional 12th Precinct. Although many episodes focused on the squad room rather than outdoor locations, the Manhattan setting shaped the show's stories, characters, and dry urban humor.

"Barney Miller" premiered on ABC in January 1975 and ran for eight seasons, ending in 1982. Its ensemble included Hal Linden, Abe Vigoda, Max Gail, Ron Glass, Jack Soo, and Steve Landesberg.

A common mix-up is answering simply "New York City." That is broadly correct, but Manhattan is the more precise borough-level answer. Greenwich Village is the neighborhood associated with the fictional station.
