Barris was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended Drexel Institute of Technology where he was a columnist for the student newspaper, The Triangle. He graduated in 1953.
Barris got his start in television as a page and later staffer at NBC in New York City, and eventually worked backstage at the TV music show American Bandstand (then filmed in Philadelphia), originally as a standards-and-practices person for ABC. Barris soon became a music industry figure. He produced pop music on records and TV, but his most successful venture was writing "Palisades Park". Recorded by Freddy Cannon, it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks (June 23-30, 1962), the biggest hit of Cannon's career. Barris also wrote or co-wrote some of the music that appeared on his game shows.

HILL STREET BLUES 🌟 THEN AND NOW 2022
What’s the greatest police series of all-time? A question which yields a wide variety of answers, from Barney Miller to Law and Order.. But the one that tops our list is the unlikely Hill Street Blues, a phenomenal show that not many people watched, at least at first. But they got some huge help from their network, even being the first weekly series to receive $1 million dollars to film a single episode. NBC knew what it had, a show that was unlike anything else, with a delicious mix of drama and comedy, and featuring a wide cast of multi-dementional cops. The cast of Hill Street Blues is perhaps one of the more infamous ensembles in TV history. It’s regarded as a hallmark in American dramatic television and was nominated for a record 21 Emmys for its first season in spite of low ratings. ...

As Furillo walks out of the office, a hungover J.D. lets loose on him in front of the whole squad room. He cites his accomplishments as a detective and makes a declaration that if he has "a few personal problems, then it's this lousy, stinking, rotten job that gave them to me." As LaRue continues on, all of the officers in the squad room look at J.D. with a mixture of disgust, shock, and ultimately, sadness. When he finally storms out, Furillo just looks away, as he is helpless to save J.D. from himself.

Barbara Bosson Dead: Hill Street Blues Actress Death Explained Before Her Funeral, See Here.
Barbara Bosson, the Emmy-nominated actress best known for her role on Hill Street Blues, died over the weekend. She was 83.
Bosson's son Jesse Bochco confirmed the news on Sunday via an Instagram tribute. "More spirit and zest than you could shake a stick at," he wrote in the caption. "When she loved you, you felt it without a doubt. If she didn't, you may well have also known that too. Forever in our hearts. I love you Mama."
Bosson was born on Nov. 1, 1939, in Pittsburgh, Pa., and knew she wanted to be an actress from a young age. She moved to New York City after high school to kickstart her career. One of her first jobs was at the Playboy Club as a Bunny before she enrolled in drama classes in 1965 at what is now called Carnegie-Mellon. A few years later she got her first major role in Steve McQueen's 1968 crime film Bullitt.
She worked steadily in film and TV until she landed the role of Fay Furillo, police captain Frank Furillo's (Daniel J. Travanti) ex-wife, on NBC's 1980s drama Hill Street Blues — which was created by her then-husband, Steven Bochco. Her work on the first five seasons earned her five Emmy nominations before she ultimately left the show in season 6 with her husband.
A decade later, Bosson went on to star as Miriam Grasso in ABC's drama Murder One in the '90s, which earned her another Emmy nomination. Bosson and the late Bochco (he died in 2018 at 74) were married for 27 years before they divorced in 1997, and worked together on multiple series including the Rockford Files spin-off Richie Brockelman, Private Eye, Hooperman, and Cop Rock.
Bosson is survived by her son Jesse, daughter Melissa, and two grandchildren.
