Fish: "It's a good thing I got bad feet. The way they feel right now, if I had good feet, I'd be worried." 🤣 Watch some of Fish's best moments on #BarneyMiller.
You just can't pick a favorite one liner from Fish... My personal favorite is: "You'll never open that window. They nailed it down in 1932. On the day this building was condemned."
I know exactly what you mean. The guy NEVER looked any older no matter how much time passed. I remember being shocked when I was told about a website called Abe Vigoda deathwatch. People would place bets on predicting when he would die.
I spent 15 years in law enforcement, I worked with two guys, both close to their retirement who had the exact same personality as Fish. One was my training officer, and another was an officer who had 30 years in right about when I got started but kept working. The sarcasm and wit among the two of them were legendary.
"You'd be amazed how much water an old structure can hold." "Hey it can't be turned on it's not doing anything!" "My very words to Bernice..." *INSERT HARRIS AND WENTWORTH LOOKING AT FISH IN UTTER DISBELIEF* 😂😂😂 I don't care if he betrayed Michael in The Godfather, I will always remember Abe Vigoda as Philip K. Fish and his hilarious one liners and comedic dead pan facial expressions.
Probably my favorite Fish moment was when he saved the precinct from a bomb, and placed the bomb is a safe where it detonated. The good news was that Fish saved the precinct, the bad news was that he inadvertently destroyed $50 thousand in bills.
Fish was awesome, he was gruff, but talking about his love, bernice made you realize cops were people too, at the time cops had a very bad reputation as bullies, I really think they helped humanize being in law enforcement.
Just watched the episode where his sock kept falling down to his ankle. Phil K. Fish was my favorite. But all the characters had their moments. It was funny throughout the series run, how on occasion you'd have a character not make an appearance for a couple of stints. They'd explain it away as their being on assignment or something. I think the writers were balancing out each character's input.
Abe Vigoda was only 56 when he left Barney Miller. He played 7 years older on the show, and looked it. His character was hilarious, but even the dour-faced punchlines got old after a while. I couldn't stand the character of "Bernice", nor did I like his spinoff series. Vigoda lived to 94. Nice life.
Died? He got spun off into a retirement sitcom imaginatively titled _FISH operating a group home for juvenile miscreants..."How would you like to have YOUR buns toasted... CRISP!?!"
The way Fish delivered his lines, with the most dead-pan expression, made the punch lines unexpected and hilarious. Like Buster Keaton with sound.
"I started in Homicide and worked my way up". 🤣
Abe Vigoda had this weird kind of funny Boris Karloff vibe going that worked SO well for him he was a riot just standing there.
You just can't pick a favorite one liner from Fish... My personal favorite is: "You'll never open that window. They nailed it down in 1932. On the day this building was condemned."
I'm 57 and it's hard to believe that when Barney Miller debuted on ABC TV, Abe Vigoda was only 54 years old. I think that man looked old from birth!
@Brad 1980 no. Handball.
He lived until 2016!
Some actors were always old. Abe Vigoda was one of them.
I know exactly what you mean.

I always loved that line, "You should call me first. I need time to put my teeth in."
I am now...resembling that remark 😖
You missed his best line. In the Hash episode, Fish said "I haven't felt this good in 20 years and it had to be illegal"
I was just going to comment on that.
Oh my, What have I done
Remember he told that Man to stay away from Bernice, And then in said, Oh my, What have I done
ोौौो
,
"My wife moved out."
"So what's the problem?"
I'm ROFLMAO!!!
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fish was always my fav. Especially if you consider his roles prior to this one. It was his first venture in to comedy and he just nails it.
I spent 15 years in law enforcement, I worked with two guys, both close to their retirement who had the exact same personality as Fish. One was my training officer, and another was an officer who had 30 years in right about when I got started but kept working. The sarcasm and wit among the two of them were legendary.
I worked with an o’d nurse who had the same personality
talking about a carriage ride when he and Bernice were courting: "...I kept thinking that horse was trying to tell me something..."
It's still amazing how Abe went from The Godfather to Barney Miller
He was in Barny Miller first 😊
@@muffassa6739 The Godfather came out in '72 and Barney Miller in '75
Absolutely the GREATEST character on this show!!! RIP Mr. Vigoda!
"You'd be amazed how much water an old structure can hold."
"Hey it can't be turned on it's not doing anything!"
"My very words to Bernice..." *INSERT HARRIS AND WENTWORTH LOOKING AT FISH IN UTTER DISBELIEF* 😂😂😂
I don't care if he betrayed Michael in The Godfather, I will always remember Abe Vigoda as Philip K. Fish and his hilarious one liners and comedic dead pan facial expressions.
Abe Vigoda played such a marvelously, deadpan, cranky old man
Fish after coming back from a massage parlor..."Bernice, haven't I always told you, you rub me the wrong way?"
Probably my favorite Fish moment was when he saved the precinct from a bomb, and placed the bomb is a safe where it detonated. The good news was that Fish saved the precinct, the bad news was that he inadvertently destroyed $50 thousand in bills.
Repairman trying to fix an electric fan: "I don't understand. I keep plugging it in the socket but nothing happens."
Fish: "My very words to Bernice."
Even when I was a little kid , I really enjoyed this show . Abe reminds me of my Dad!
I love Fish he was one of a kind ❤️
" And the Problem?"
This was comedy gold.
Even his spin off Fish was absolutely hilarious 😅
He’s right about the bike seats! I have an exercise bike with a wider seat, a gel seat cover, and a throw pillow. Still hurts to sit on it.
I think Abe was one of the top guys on that show!
Fish was awesome, he was gruff, but talking about his love, bernice made you realize cops were people too, at the time cops had a very bad reputation as bullies, I really think they helped humanize being in law enforcement.
The fact that Fish needs to use the bathroom more than anyone, is hilarious.
Abe Vigoda is just one of the classic actors in this series.

My personal favorite was when Wojo brought in the hash laced brownies....Fish said" the best I've felt in years, of course it has to be illegal "...
Barney Miller is a tv classic.
He Made the Show 😊
All of thee are great but I loved when Fish had some of the Hash Brownies and said it was the best He ever felt but it was illegal.
Thank you for posting this.
Fish was always smarter.
Abe Vigoda was simply splendid.
I love this show I watch the old show still I can watch it ❤ I like old shows so much better
I am the nurse version of Fish .
@3:39. One of the best character actors of the 70's. Played law and order cop characters. I believe he had run-ins with Felix Unger and Archie Bunker.
And he tried run Fonzie out of town.
Also played gangster roles in comedy and drama movies. Great actor
I would of love to hear Fish say to anyone there "Get out of here, I'm Busy" or "Later I'm Busy" just like he did in Look Who's Talking 1989.
Abe Vigoda and Sully Boyer is priceless.Abe..the Best deadpan stare on TV then.
I’m 56 years old now, and Abe Vigoda was younger here than I am now. Not sure if that should make me feel more vibrant or more depressed
He just always looked old, in face and body. His Fish character was about 7 year older than Vigoda was. And it worked.
Abe Vigoda. Rest in peace .
Love this show. Hate the laugh tracks. Good jokes don't need canned laughter.
ABE VIGODA IS THE MAN.....R.I.P FISH.
After Tessio was "kicked" from the family. He bribed the families to let him live and recruit as a Detective.
Brilliant
62 cents for a stamp.
Amen sir

I love the show. I hate the box you put it in.
And the problem?
That Phil fish

They created Fish just for Abe.

I remember the episode where he died.....I was little and cried myself to sleep.

He got spun off into a retirement sitcom imaginatively titled _FISH operating a group home for juvenile miscreants..."How would you like to have YOUR buns toasted... CRISP!?!"
writing was poor. they had the right characters tho.
Tell Bernice.... It was only business.
