A female detective on Barney Miller once saw very lewd graffiti with a phone number on a wall. Incensed, she wrote it down with the intention of arresting the guy who wrote it. Her note was left on Fish's desk by mistake. Fish walks in and is told his wife called, message is on his desk. Of course, he picks up the note with the lewd comment on it instead. The look on his face was just great.
Fish was such a great character and Vigoda a fine actor. RIP

I saw him once at my Grand Union food store in Ringwood, NJ. I lived in Wanaque, next town over. I was behind him as he went into the store and wondering is that who I think it is, it was indeed and I always wished I’d asked for an autograph but also glad I didn’t in a way.

I always liked him in Barney Miller, however, when they decided to spin off his character into his own show, “Fish”, it was an absolutely terrible concept. It’s no surprise that it didn’t last very long.

Antenna TV is rerunning Barney Miller episodes. But I think they’re up to a time in the series past Sgt. Fish’s retirement and he pops in now and then, not as a regular.

Oh, this is terrible news from the celeb front. Too many interesting characters did this man play. Rest in peace and thanks for the memories. “Tell Michael that it was only business.” Classic line.

RIP to a very talented guy.
He was a health nut, which helped to account for his longevity. Oddly, he still always appeared far older than his actual age. His character, Fish, on Barney Miller was supposed to be a decade or so older than he.

Wow, he lived a good long time. I remember watching Barney Miller when I was a kid in the 1970s and he looked very old even back then.
