This is for Barney Miller afficianados. As far as I can recall there were only 2 Canadian cities mentioned during the run of the show. Name one or both. Also, I welcome any correction to the answer.

All of the episodes of Barney Miller were recently uploaded to archive(dot)org by a guy named JTDiver, to his 'J.T.'s_Ghost' account:

Watch online, or download. The online viewer has the same features as YouTube.

I have a huge digital video collection, but it's small, compared to this guy. I check his page every day, looking for new uploads.

His original account, (@ jtdiver ) :

No new uploads. Most of these are movie collections featuring a specific actor or actress.

The current account, ( @ JT's_Ghost ) :

New material uploaded at least every few days. In addition to film collections, 'JT's_Ghost' also has a lot of TV series, almost exclusively shows from the 1950's/ 60's/ 70's/ 80's, but the odd newer series appears.

I'm currently uploading the, (almost), complete series of Strange Paradise to my page at archive(dot)org:

There were 195 episodes, in three story arcs of 65 episodes each. I have 194 of them.

Apparently the videotape for one episode in the third arc was wiped, and no longer exists. The file that I have, name 'Strange Paradise - Episode 194', is actually the series finale, #195. I think one of the ones from #180-189 is the lost one.

The first 95 have been posted, (my uploads are the CINEPACK files, (Xvid .avi file type). The site has created 34 H.264/ (.mp4) versions so far - the online viewer only plays .mp4 video. I upload new batches of five at a time, and Episode #'s 96 - 100 are currently being processed. Mine are much better quality than what's posted on YouTube.

For those interested, Strange Paradise was a 1969-70 Canadian Soap Opera which tried to capitalize on the, (then), popularity of ABC's Dark Shadows. It was a half hour Monday - Friday show, with a supernatural element, and acting/ budget one would expect from a Canadian TV show from 55 years ago. At least it was in colour.
