The original pilot was titled Barney Miller: The Life and Times of Barney Miller (1974), but it was rejected by ABC. It aired as a special on August 22, 1974. ABC was negotiating a deal with director John Rich at the time due to his success with Arcibaldo (1971). Rich had seen the pilot and was interested in working on the show. He insisted that ABC give it another chance as part of his deal, so the show was immediately picked up for a 13-episode commitment. However, due to disagreements with producer and writer Danny Arnold, Rich left the show after two episodes to work on other projects for ABC.
