  BBC - Comedy Guide - Barney Miller
Early episodes, led by the pilot, split the action between the station-house and Barney's home life with his wife Elizabeth and a pair of children, but soon it focused solely on the relationships at work, and it was at this point that the series took off in a major way.
Barney Miller also came to an unusual conclusion, after the producers and the network entered into an unresolveable dispute.
While Barney was proud finally to get his long-awaited promotion from captain to deputy inspector he also knew that his team had reached the end of the line.

 Sitcoms Online - Barney Miller
Barney Miller grew out of a rejected comedy pilot called "The Life and Times of Captain Barney Miller," which aired as part of an ABC summer anthology called Just for Laughs in 1974.
But when Barney Miller made it to the regular ABC schedule the following January, the family played a much smaller role (eventually they were written out) and the locale became the Greenwich Village station house where Barney and his motley crew spent their day.
The news was bittersweet: Barney was promoted to deputy inspector and Levitt had finally made sergeant; but the men of the precinct would be scattered to different locations throughout the city.

Barney Miller was a comedy television series set in a New York City police station that ran from 1975 to 1982 on ABC.
By the final seasons, the program was unusual in its resemblance to a stage play, in that its scenes almost never strayed from the single set of the one-room precinct station (with its prominent open-barred holding cell) and Miller's adjoining office.
Barney Miller won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1982, after it was cancelled.

 Barney Miller History | sjpc_01_package.xml
The main action was restricted to the detectives' office and the small connected office of Captain Barney Miller on the upper floor of an old police building.
In contrast to other police shows of its time, Barney Miller showed viewers the more mundane aspects of its detectives' work lives, including their bad habits, passions, and their likes and dislikes, all with one of the finest ensemble casts of working people in television.
Barney Miller's lasting legacy might be the shows that developed following its gritty working ensemble mold (Night Court, for example), or the effect it had on future police shows, such as Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, and Homicide.

Barney was a great straight man to his crew, and there wasn't an unfunny one in the bunch.

Trying his best to hold the department together is Hal Linden's Barney Miller, who juggles the department politics, caring for his prisoners, and managing his staff amid the ever-present chaos.

 The World War 2 Store: Barney Miller - The First Season
Viewers familiar with the series' later seasons will notice substantial differences in the cast and storyline; episodes divide Barney's (Hal Linden) time evenly between the 12th Precinct and his apartment, which he shares with wife Barbara Barrie and two children (all of whom would be phased out of the series).
Sadly, if no further seasons of Barney Miller are released (probably due to low sales, revenue drives business), then this cereal DVD will become a collector's item.
I can't comment on how accurate the 12th precinct was, anymore than I can comment on how accurate was the 4077th, but Barney Miller had the same quality as MASH: vivid, endearing, idiosyncratic characters that you wanted to see over and over.
