You have to agree that the Barney Miller theme is  one of the coolest on television. I get a lot of mails about the Barney Miller theme; the majority of them want to know where to obtain the  sheet music for the theme. As far as I know there isn't any "official" sheet music, but here is Jerry from Hawaii's contribution on the subject: the tabulature for the bass, courtesy of the Bass Tab Archive: "Aloha Deb! Well, here's the first  part of the song in case anybody asks.
