When Beckman brings in the functional fan and the papers on the desk start flying- the air is blowing in from the side of the shot, not from the direction of the fan.

Quotes
Det. Janice Wentworth: Sorry I'm late, cross-town traffic is the pits and there is absolutely no air in this room. You could sustain heavy brain damage from living in a condition like this. Do you people realize your breathing in pure heat ? Who took all the air ?
Det. Phil Fish: We don't use the stuff. You must be thinking about another precinct .

I see below that I'm not the only one upset with this episode.

I am a fan of Barney Miller too; but this episode was clearly inappropriate. The men all make a big joke about it and excuse it as the heat. In the end she doesn't sign the complaint and the men applaud her and send her on her way as that is the right thing to do.

We are then treated to jokes by the character Fish subtly hinting that there might be domestic violence to his wife.

Very disappointing to see a normally good show produce such trash.
