In 1975, TV producer Danny Arnold created Barney Miller, a sitcom set at a police station in Greenwich Village. Danny wanted to make sure the show reflected the setting - which at the time was the heart of gay culture in New York, and as a result the show had a lot of firsts for queer representation on TV. But it wasn't easy: Television was under pressure from Congress to clean up its act, and networks had decided to scrub their gay content. This is the story of how a producer who got his start on Bewitched teamed up with a gay activist to defeat one of the most powerful censors in Hollywood.
