Reports of Fish's Death Somewhat Exaggerated - Barney Miller - 1975 

Abe Vigoda could say more with one silent expression than many actors can say with an entire page of dialog!

"I'm dead." . . . . "And I didn't even go out of the house all weekend." Priceless.

A false article in a 1982 People magazine reported Abe Vigoda died at the age of 60. Took a long time back then to find out he was still alive till the ripe age of 94.

Yes! This the scene I was commenting on before. There's another great moment in the same episode when someone says he looks just like Boris Karloff and Fish says "we both have something in common, we're dead"

Abe was 102 when he was born.

Forecasts the premature reports of Abe's death, and the humor he had about the whole thing.

Ron Glass's laugh at 0:41 is perfect.

When he said “I didn’t go out of the house all weekend” I laughed out loud and nearly woke everybody in the house up.

I love Abe's delivery in this scene!

Fish reminds me of my ex father in law.. same walk, talk and dead pan delivery of a punch line. RIP Abe " Fish" Vagoda.

Yamada and Fish...both are awesome!!!!!! 👍👍👍

i used this very "Barney Miller" seen for a essay I had to write for my adult education class! It was on Voter Id for more secure ID measures for voting or not.

Barney Miller was so funny, way way ahead of all the curves.

At work I became the Abe Vigoda is not dead guy 😁

Abe Vigoda outlived Jack Soo, James Gregory, Ron Carey, Steve Landesberg, and Ron Glass.

Coffee explained, by Nick Yamana 🤣

How in the heck did the actor in the back of him keep a straight face. I am busting up and I’m very loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂

His face looks like it was made by Jim Henson.

Missed his death date by 41 years!

I ADORE THE LOOK S ON FISH'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS! ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS ! 💖💝💔⚘🕯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Probably a mistake?😂

"It's Maroon!" "It's The Color Spectrum. You mix Brown Coffee with Yellow Water You got Maroon!"😂🤣😂🎤🍫💛🌊☕👮‍♂️📺B.W.

When TV was truly good.

Call the wife and tell her she wins the bet.

"Probably..."

Can someone please post the full episode, this is my favorite one of the series.

"You gotta be TOUGH with them...scare them a little" oh hello😅

FISH, has to go to the "Payroll Office " to Prove he indeed is very much alive...." and that isn't going to easy" as he leaves the 12th Precinct.... lol. Great comedic qua,city! Especially with his priceless expressions on his face and with his eyes !! 🌝⛾💎🔱♥️🎥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⛾

It would have been extra amusing if Wojo had picked up on that call and laughed in the background right at the end of that bit.

Fish..... :.... I'm dead 😄😀😅😅😆

Gotta love Abe!

R.I.P. Abe Vigoda

...so Tom got him off the hook after all, for old times sake...

Abe Vigoda was amazing.

Hal Linden once said that Liz Smith was finally right.

As great as these guys are, much credit goes to the writers.

I thought the reference was because he got whacked in The godfather for sleeping with the fishes.

He did live well into his 90s.

Tom,can you get me off once for old time sakes?

Abes now passed amid some rumors.

He was in his mid 50’s here! 😂 💀

Abe lived his whole life dead it never bothered him

I thought Stg. Fisher retired?

Fish was great on Barney Miller ❤ It.

Best show scenes I love lucy

Tessio is a police ? 🤪
