Barney Miller (TV Series) Wojo's Girl: Part 1 (1979) User Reviews

Merc work

[DonandLiG · 10/10 · 4 September 2019]

This was a 2-part story line. The line "merc work" is hilarious! And Harris' line, while laughing, "I could never where khaki" tickled me, too. Part two (shot at Wojo's apartment) was somewhat tedious. Overall, Barney Miller was a top-shelf sitcom.

Meh.....

This is from the Dvd....the last episode on one of the discs was Wojos girl. Watching it late at night i was tired, and it seemed to be another story on Barney Miller. I perked up when i saw Micheal Conrad from Hill Street Blues show up as a paramilitary Col hiring an old man for mercenary work. It was cool to see him but ine wonders why in hell he would get dragged to a police station for such a recruitment. Then Wojos girlfriend shows up and Dietrich hits in her. I didnt get she was Wojos girl for several moments. So anyway she wants to move in with him so she wants his apartment key. She keeps bothering him while he's at work in a squad room full of police detectives and it seems just a little unrealistic that she would pester him that way while he was at work. After she leaves Wojo has a discussion with Barney and it becomes clear that she is some kind of prostitute. The rest of the episode Mouzon and resolves as Barney Miller episode to do bring a couple of guys in a Cell in having them eventually not press charges against each other, then having Dietrich comment on it. I wasn't paying very close attention as I said I was tired and I should be going to sleep but for some reason Wojo makes up with his girlfriend gives her the key to his place or calls around telling her that she can come by after he gets home from work. That seemed to be all there was to that Michael Conrad was released in The Old Man and the old lady decided he shouldn't be a mercenary and they left and there's two guys in they sell declined to press charges so they left episodes over right? Somehow somehow without noticing the scene switches to Wojo at home is it apartment while the usual modus operandi of the episodes was that everything was resolved and roll credits the freeze frame in the theme some reason it seemed to go to Black like it was going to commercial hey coach bad apartment. There's a knock on the door and lo and behold it's Wojo's girlfriend with all of her stuff. I thought well that's strange the next Racine? Then she comes in it's totally awkward for 10 minutes I never seen more Awkward acting on both parts. He wants her to stay but he can't tell her she wants him to be more attentive but she can't tell him he starts to watch an old television with a hockey game playing and she gets bored and says she'll be in the bedroom. Now where this actress was I was nonplussed by her while she was at the station she did have a nice body per say but she was kind of flat chested so I wasn't really all that into our but that's the way they were built in the 70s I guess she did have a nice bottom half though at any rate she's waiting for Wojo Who falls asleep on the couch doesn't come to bed and she abruptly leaves the next morning because he obviously doesn't want her there and frankly who would? She's pretty sort of flat chested she wore tight pants it might be a different story but for now she was just wearing jeans and she didn't appear to be all that attractive especially with her former profession hanging over her head. By this time I was wondering what in the hell was going on? This episode should have been over 15 minutes ago is this an hour-long episode and no one told me? I guess on the DVD it just says Wojo's girl and plays both parts 1 and 2 I didn't see the title at the beginning of the show so I may have had a clue then maybe it said we'll just Girl part 1 and 2 or part 1 but at the time I was oblivious and kind of confused it seemed to be a spin-off which it was actually for Homelife of Wojo. It was totally uninteresting and dragged on does he like her? Is he going to tell her? Is he going to let her know his boundaries? It was just so much 1970s relationship fluff I was completely turned off even though by that time she had put on a red nightgown and looked a lot better than she did in the first half of the show. I have come to learn that dishes for have some idea that they had to have episodes where some of the men went home and hijinks ensue. I thought they learned their lesson when Barney Miller in the first season went home to that flat awful family and everything stopped especially the comedy. Well that's my review I hope it was helpful.

Doris Roberts and Peter Hobbs, round two

[kevinolzak · 5/10 · 1 June 2014]

"Wojo's Girl" was originally a one hour broadcast, inexplicably split into two for IMDb, despite the fact that the hour long episodes of SOAP all count as single entries. This first half centers on Harriet Brauer (Doris Roberts, third of four), last seen in "The Sighting," in which her husband Phillip (Peter Hobbs, fourth of six) was obsessed with gold. Now he's switched from appliance salesman to amateur mercenary, subscribing to 'Combat Quarterly,' published by Col. Charles Dundee (Michael Conrad), going so far as to purchase a bazooka. Meanwhile, disgruntled vacationer Frank Mallory (Philip Bruns, second of four) reports that after taking his wife on a second honeymoon to Europe, something they've been planning for ten years, she's decided on divorce! Travel agent Nells Finney (Lewis Arquette) made it clear to him that it wasn't the deluxe package, resulting in '28 days of horror,' and now the despondent Mallory wants a refund. Darlene Parks as Wojo's new girlfriend Nancy sets up the second half of this episode, in which no other cast members appear.
