Castle homage to Barney Miller!
Apr. 22nd, 2010 10:18 pmI 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!

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.
