So, who will be the next "he's still alive" celebrity, then? Keith Richards?

Abe is doing better in death then in life. There's three threads about him!

you never saw the movie ? (The Godfather ?)

your profile doesn't list your age ... so are you young enough to have not seen the sit-com Barney Miller ? or just didn't watch TV back in the '70's ?

I've never seen the Godfather. Goodfellas is as close as I've got. I was born in '81 so not a lot of 70's tv for me (can't say I've ever heard of Barney Miller... sorry)

I am the lames

Just curious, has anyone checked to be sure Abe is still dead? They've been wrong before.

I remember Fish from Barney Miller. I even remember the spin-off. Yes I am old. And named my goldfish Abe Vigoda. (Ex-SWMBO had to look it up)

I've never seen The Godfather either and only vaguely remember Barney Miller. I know him mostly from the celebrity roasts and as a regular bus customer.

You guys really should make a point to see the Godfather----- and the Godfather II. There's a reason they are such iconic films--- they're freeking awesome.

Seriously......go watch them--- back to back.....tonight!
