Reception

The ethnic stereotypes in the series so offended the real-life Brooklyn Borough president that he publicly demanded it be canceled; it was taken off the air after only three telecasts.

Parkside Avenue (BMT Brighton Line)

Parkside Avenue is a local station on the BMT Brighton Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Parkside Avenue and Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, it is served by the Q train at all times.

Station layout

This station, which opened in 1907 as a two-track station named Woodruff Avenue, currently has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are used by the B train when it operates on weekdays.

The original southern three-fourths of the platforms are in a tunnel underneath cross streets and buildings, while the remaining northern one fourth is in an open cut. The extreme north ends of the platforms, which were extensions built in the 1960s, have no canopies and curve to the north. The southbound platform has its concrete wall painted beige while the northbound one is carved within the Earth's crust. Here, the station signs are the standard black plates in white lettering. The rest of the open cut has a concrete canopy with red columns. The remainder of the platforms has a red trim line and mosaic name tablets reading "PARKSIDE AVE." in gold Times New Roman font surrounded by diamonds.
