Japanese-American actor Jack Soo was born in Oakland, California, in 1917, his real name being Goro Suzuki. Died January 11, 1979 in Los Angeles, California, USA (esophageal cancer) His last words to Hal Linden as he was being wheeled into the operating room before his death were "It must have been the coffee." This was a reference to the running gag of his character Nick Yemana from Barney Miller (1975) having the reputation for making horrible coffee. ( IMDb )

I love how straight-faced the bomb squad guy is. He has, like, two actual jokes (“We don’t even have a training film…”), but the rest of the time just sounds like every half-competent co-worker you’ve ever known, and it’s hilarious. It’s a tricky kind of comedy to pull off, and it’s seldom, if ever, been done better than on Barney Miller.

The nuke story line in this was based on real events. A student was needing something really BIG to pass his class. He designed a smaller nuclear bomb that could fit in the trunk of a car. I remember from reading about this that he was stuck on some aspect that would make the weapon work. Having spent days locked away trying to figure things out friends finally got him to go out with them for an evening. He hoped stepping away from the project would revitalize him so when he went back he could find the answer to what ever his problem. The friends took him to a strip club. Something about how on of the girls on stage was dancing gave him the solution to the problem he was having with his design. He ran back to school, finished the project, turned it in. He passed his course, and was immediately picked up by the FBI.

🤣 Making an atomic bomb is child's play. There are diagrams and drawings in books and magazines.
