Castle homage to Barney Miller!

[amedia]

I can't believe it took me this long to notice! We've been watching Castle for a couple of months now, I guess; a colleague at work recommended it. It's a lot of fun.

A few days ago the characters got into the elevator like they always do, the doors closed, and for the first time we noticed what the lettering on the doors said. 12TH PRECINCT. They're at the old 1-2! The next ep, I started noticing the local addresses; they visited a place on Houston (pronounced House-ten, not like the city in Texas), which was frequently mentioned on Barney Miller. So they're in roughly the same location!

Now they need a guest cameo by Hal Linden as the retired inspector stopping in for old times' sake. Or Ron Glass and Steve Landesburg as Harris and Dietrich, celebrating the anniversary of their tryst in the evidence closet. Or something!

I loves me some Castle, though he dissapointed me last week. Castle and Glee are my shoooows. <3

The guy who is running Castle has to be a fan on some level. He used Firefly during the Halloween. I tune in on that show every now and then, and am usually amused.

Yay for the Castle love!

It is generally amusing. Not the greatest mysteries, but the characters and their interactions are what I enjoy.

OMG! You READ Harris and Dietrich in an evidence closet????!!!! I'm really proud of my Barney Miller fics, but it's such a tiny fandom that every reader is deeply cherished!

Come to think of it, I should probably post the stories to LJ - there's no easy way to leave feedback on the fanfic.tv site where they're currently residing.
