I love dry humor and Jack Soo was fantastic at it. The show was full of it.

[@tperk]

Every member of the cast had such sharp comedic timing. Must have been intimidating and difficult to do a guest stint on this show!

[@MrDuojet]

Loved Barney Miller as a kid. Rewatched the series over the years in re-runs. Comedy gold, IMO. These clips show how great Jack Soo was.

[@leviclark3822]

The HASH episode was the greatest moment in TV history!!!

[@krisrhood2127]

That was my mom's favorite

[@KKG51]

My favorite was the Werewolf episode.

[@KKG51]

"Hey, let's us guys go down to the beach and shoot some clams!!"

[@johnmckenzie4639]

"Barney, Barney, Barney. Is your mother from Killarney?" "Mooshie Mooshie."

[@TnseWlms]

T.V. Guide thinks the Mary Tyler Moore episode with Chuckles the Clown was the greatest moment in TV history.

[@blockmasterscott]

I always loved Jack Soo's dead pan humor.

[@videocruzer]

He was my favorites on the show.

[@ChadQuick270W]

Jack Soo was a riot!! I loved his dry sense of humor. He and Dietrich were my favorites on the show.

[@edwardwong654]

Me2! Dietrich came on much later if I recall. I still remember such mundane trivia as "Blood on the Badge".

[@Tabish29]

Yemana and Dietrich were the best but so was everyone. What a show!!

[@ChadQuick270W]

I agree. My favorite two characters on Barney Miller.

[@Tabish29]

@@ChadQuick270W I'm watching "goodbye Mr Fish part 2" right now on Antennae TV.

[@ChadQuick270W]

@@Tabish29 so am I. 👍

[@Tabish29]

@@ChadQuick270W wow. Chokes me up each time. The look Luger gives when Fish signs himself off duty for the last time. This show had the best cast and the best writing in tv history. Luger really grew on me as the show went on. Harris, Wojo, Levitt. Love all of them. What a monumental cast.

[@dannythomas417]

​@@Tabish29I struggle watching any episode Fish wasn't in.

[@whatsname2649]

If I had to pick one actor from Barney Miller it wld b Jack Soo. Considering his rough past 'an American concentration camp', he still managed to maintain a sense of humor. RIP Jack.

[@shotforshot5983]

Detainment camp. Don't rewrite history.

[@LittlePixieBot]

@@shotforshot5983 It's still the same thing as an internment camp or concentration camp.

[@johnshields6852]

Nick was great, I was a kid watching this, thank you so much for remembering when things seemed safe and innocent. 🙏

[@jamiehoover9348]

Yeah same here...i couldnt agree more.

[@hippolyte90]

My favourite moment is in the pilot when he looks through an arrested bookie's papers, reads "collect Yemana" and answers the phone saying "12th precinct, sergeant Yemana".

[@gmill7414]

Or when doing the inventory, he picked up a fan, it wouldn't work, so he said "One paperweight."

[@kaydublin5164]

BM was just one of the best shows in the ‘70.

[@happytrailcamstoyou9509]

I loved that show! I'm looking for the scene when Jack Soo was sitting at his desk and Ron Glass was standing next to him looking at something on Soo's desk. A kid they arrested said "Just ask the colored guy!" Soo responded to the kid and said "I hadn't noticed." The kid said "Not you! The guy standing next to you!" Soo said "He's black, I'm colored. Black's not a color!"

[@kennethlatham3133]

I loved that guy! He was great in "Flower Drum Song".

[@christinamellow9824]

I agree hash was definitely was the best episode classic miss jack Soo may you rest in peace much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@msmerc86]

"Mooshy, mooshy."

[@nycdweller]

Jack Soo eating his eraser! Classic!

[@TheMikester307]

My folks saw him on stage in Kansas City, I think in the 50s. A wonderful actor!

[@joesalcido7373]

I was 16 when BM came out!!! I was hooked!!!!

[@Tabish29]

Missed the greatest scene in BM imo in part 2 of quarantine. Yemana sneaks to have coffee. Wojo says what u doing to which he says I walk in my sleep. Barney says good coffee nick and yemana spits it out and jumps in bed. Had me in tears.

[@topkatz58]

My favorite part in Quarantine was the following: Nick: These coffee cups look different Daryl Drisco: I scrubbed off all the mold and mildew Nick: I thought it was the pattern From Pt 2 of Quarantine

[@Tabish29]

@@topkatz58 haha. Anything with Nick was a fans' dream. The guy was gold. I miss him & hope to see him 1 day.

[@depaola63]

Absolutely Classic ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@edwardwong654]

Jack Soo - too little, too little! Can you imagine hanging out and just buddying up with him?!

[@rogermoore27]

I can't believe his passed away since 1979. I remember him clear as day. He ever knew Covid19, President Obama, the internet, cyber-bullyibg, the fall of the Berlin Wall, a free South Africa, the deaths of Michael Jackson and Prince, the Venezuelan Crisis, Princess Diana, cellphones

[@jerryjelks7791]

He was funny 😂😂😂

[@marylynbartow6984]

where's the "mushy, mushy"?

[@heyrob-net]

“moshi moshi” (but it did sound like mooshi mooshi). I hurt myself laughing at that scene as a kid. I became a shellfish biologist and still want to go the beach and "shoot some clams".

[@TnseWlms]

@@heyrob-net I used to confuse the Japanese telephone greeting with Chinese mu shu pork.

[@TnseWlms]

Harris (writing a novel): Nick, how do you say "get me a cup of coffee" in Japanese? Nick: コーヒーを一杯もらって Next day: Harris (reading from his novel): コーヒーを一杯もらって Barney: You get your own coffee. I'm not your waiter.

[@dennisoleary6272]

Jack soo sounded like Robert mitchum

[@skullduggery3377]

He hardly worked. he just read the paper, made bets and brewed bad coffee.

[@MissT813]

Barney, Barney. Is your mother from Clarny?

[@25mfd]

"eight squad room chairs, hard... one captain's chair, SOFT"

[@muffs55mercury61]

After Jack died, I gradually lost interest in the show. He was such an integral part of the show and left a huge hole to fill.

[@dannythomas417]

Already lost it when Abe missed out four of the last five of season 3.

[@philipmotoike]

I have the film got it at little Tokyo
