I met Abe in Sears Surplus Store in Oakland NJ in 1986,I didn't want to bother him with asking him for an autograph,i wanted to but I just felt he didn't want to have all these people around him.He was kind,polite,and very sweet,his daughter lived in the next town over,and he came to my line(I was a cashier)and used his credit card to make his purchase.I am glad he is still alive & is in better shape than me...lo lLong life ABE>>you are truly a gift to us all......:)
Loved "Barney Miller" and so glad to know Abe Vigoda and Hal Linden are friends off the set and are still friendly after all these years. Good to see Abe is still hale and hearty at 90. Thanks for sharing. =)
I see Abe's face and a million wonderful memories of 1970's TV come flooding back, not to mention "Joe vs The Volcano" - this guy is a freaking living legend! Vive Abe Vigoda!
Abe Vigoda had a great sense of humor :-) The chemistry between him and Hal Linden was awesome :-) R.I.P. Abe. Thank you for all the laughs :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Yessirree. Me as well. The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Hogan's Heroes, Gilligan's Island, Hee Haw, Barney Miller, WKRP In Cincinnati, all great ensemble casts and all GOLD. Great time to grow up!
I remember seeing him at Amy Ruth's Soul Food restaurant on 116th street in Harlem. I was so excited that I pulled up a UA-cam clip to show the busboy!!!
Barney miller one of the best comedies still today,very sad that most of the cast has passed on,nice to see abe and hal in this video,wish max gail was there with them.
grew up watching Barney Miller with my late father. I didn't understand some of the metaphors....I was young ,what can I say. I did see something in the show that many of todays shows just don't have........real sense of fellowship and camaraderie.
Today, February 24, 2015, is Abes ninety FOURTH birthday. Congrats man. Hope youre in just as good of shape today as you were four years ago. Keep active!
I'm S-O Thankful that I get to watch this on you tube in August, 2020! I watched some of Barney Miller when I was a teenager in the 70's. I Really enjoyed them then with the laughter at the Genius of the writing and the acting by a Great cast! Abe Vigoda was the Best!
Thanks for this vid. Abe is still going strong. Ironically (& sadly) a lot of the younger regs. have left us. Ron Carey, Steve Landesberg & Jack Soo included. Watched BM in the late 70.s / early 80's. Top quality late-night comedy on YTV ( ITV - Yorkshire, in the days when we only had 3 channels in the UK !) BM & Taxi were tops, back then.
he was really something as a character actor and of all things shame on those who always made him sound like he was dead... 30 years even before he actually was.......... Damn, I hope I can live to this rip older age....!!!!
Abe Vigoda love seeing you. Enjoyed watching you throughout my childhood. Loved Barney Miller...loved Fish.. you truly are an inspiration to your audience.. God Bless.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I used to watch Barney Miller with my late Father. I find myself getting a little weepy watching the shows, particularly with the openning theme. The cast always seemed like good friends that lived down the street. This show was an absolute riot. And not a dirty work was ever used. Thank you for the memories.
After the judge ruled against further appeals on Arnold Ripners' lawsuit verdict, Ron Harris (Ron Glass) enunciated the N-word out of anger and drunken frustration 😩
If I could I'd hit the like button twice! Thank you for posting.I'm a huge fan of Barney Miller and it's nice to see the friendship off the screen as it was on. PS Nice appearance by "Lenny".
Amazing, just amazing. Great to see you again Abe! So many great things! Sorry to hear that you actually DID pass away. I thought you might pull a .... "can you get me off Tom? For old times sake?"
AND, Abe rocked in the movie "Witness To The Mob". From thinking Hash could make you fly, when I was 8, to Mafia movies, Abe Vigoda helped make life better.
Well said, everyone! And thank you picaboo56, for sharing this great moment with us. It's so wonderful to know that Abe had such a lovely gathering of friends for his 90th! He deserves it! And seeing this clip was like being invited to the party for a few minutes! :)
Mazel tov Abe Vigita on your 90th Birthday Celebration with Hal Linden, and the " children " from your Series " Fish" . Many Happy YEARS ahead 🔱💎🌻♥️✡🌝🌕🎇🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☄
Rest in Peace Abe. You gave us many great moments on Barney Miller.
Jesus this guy had more energy at 90 than I do at 39.
I know eh, I'm 39 as well. I have the same Birthday as Hal Linden (March.20th)
I wish I'm still around in my 90s and as energetic as he was.
I’m 24 and energetic lolol
@@wacodraco1558 45 now and even less energy.
Next time just start your comment with "This"
Abe's senses seem sharp as a tack...well done, Sir
90 what a long blessed life he had! RIP
I love both of these men. Love that he's still in such great shape.
Love "Barney Miller", a show that can still make me laugh despite ending 38 years ago.

Man I'm glad I grew up on this and not the garbage today.
True !
I agree wholeheartedly! My all-time favorite show.
there's been great stuff, and garbage, all throughout the history of tv. stop being a grumpy ass.

My words exactly! Still binge watching Barney today! 😂

Hooker- "How long have you been a cop?"
Fish - "I was the first."
His deadpan delivery and facial expression were hilarious!

Would love to see Vigoda and Rickles get together for coffee and talk about the old days for a documentary
So long and thanks for all The Fish.
RIP Abe Vigoda :(

Who the hell doesn't love this? Why are they here in the first place? Thanks for this wonderful moment.

The best sitcoms and shows in the 70's bar none. Today's crap doesn't make me laugh.
Bobby Mars it sucks it really bring back the memories of quality TV entertainment suitable for the whole family

Can you get me off the hook Tom? For old times sake.
+Jim Pimmers If he does that dance again Tom might let him!
+Jim Pimmers I always thought it would've been Clemenza, not Tessio.
mtoh
It's a smart move. Tessio was always smarter. But I'm going to wait. I've decided to be Godfather to Connie's baby.
Jim Pimmers Michael Francis Rizzi, do you renounce satan?

God bless you Abe. Thank you for the many years of laughter.
Abe Vigoda = Nonagenarian badass.
Hal Linden = One of the most likeable people ever to walk Earth.
Amazing, just amazing. Great to see you again Abe! So many great things! Sorry to hear that you actually DID pass away. I thought you might pull a .... "can you get me off Tom? For old times sake?"

Thanks Mr. Vigoda, God Bless.
Capt. Miller has practically outlived much of his 12th Precinct squad- of course, 2 1/2 years more, he'll catch Fish. R.I.P., Abe Vigoda!!!
So missed,abe...what a great show and guys!!
Of course Abe will ALWAYS be the man, but don't sleep on Hal Linden....he's 80 and looks incredible! Cool as ever.
