Fish was a spinoff television series of the sitcom Barney Miller. It starred Abe Vigoda as Detective Phil Fish and Florence Stanley as his wife Bernice. For a while, the character of Phil Fish continued to appear on Barney Miller as Vigoda headlined this program.
In the series, which focused on the domestic side of his life, Fish and Bernice became foster parents to five racially-mixed children known as "Persons in Need of Supervision", or PINS. The kids were played by Todd Bridges, Denise Miller, Len Bari, John Cassisi and Sarah Natoli.
Eventually, Fish left Barney Miller altogether, and his character retired from the New York Police Department.
Fish was directed by Jeremiah Morris and aired from February 1977 through June 1978 on ABC.
