Is Abe Vigoda really dead?

Fish was most of the reason for watching Barney Miller.
He was even better than the theme music. ~

RIP, Abe. You made us laugh, and we thank you for that.

To a very understated actor- and he did it very well. Perfect timing. Thank you, Sir.
clink Cheers!

@Here2_4 – ThankYou for the strolls down memory lane. It’s still funny today. I never would have gotten to see them again. I appreciate the laughs…

He was also wonderful in Joe vs. The Volcano

He was so sweet in Look Who’s Talking. He played John Travolta’s grandpa, with memory issues.

I had forgotten! His dry delivery on that particular Barney Miller you listed, made me laugh all the more.
The Snickers commercial with Betty White from the Super Bowl was good also. Shocked some who thought he had passed away, I’ll bet.
