You can catch Capt. Barney Miller and his squad of mismatched detectives at various weird hours on the schedule, if you look hard enough. It's a fitting state of affairs for a show about people doing good work at odd hours and generally flying under the radar.

For example, Sundance TV has lately been filling up its early morning hours with mini "Miller" marathons. You can also catch it on the WPIX schedule and the Antenna TV.

No one seems to know what happened to Conrad McMasters' (Clarence Gilyard Jr., "Walker, Texas Ranger") red, mid-'60s Ford Mustang convertible, his hiding place for many a stakeout and other investigative tasks for his friend and employer, Ben Matlock (Andy Griffith, "The Andy Griffith Show").

Presumably the last known owner is Dean Hargrove Productions, which produced "Matlock," but even that's not certain -- cars, particularly rare ones, are often rented to productions by private owners.
