The doubly-named Detective Meyer was a dry, oddly wry philosopher. I can't prove this, but he may have been the inspiration in the creation of Detective Arthur Dietrich on 'Barney Miller'. Within the reality of Toobworld, Meyer Meyer may have been Dietrich's mentor before Arthur joined the squad at the 12th Precinct.....
