Hadn't heard that in years. It's so obviously an extension (or rip-off) of the theme from "Barney Miller". Slightly more up-tempo, and a higher register sax, of course, but definitely at least "kissin' cousins". Same composer?
As "Fish" was a spin-off from "Barney Miller," the producers used the same composers for the original music - those folks were Jack Elliott and Allyn Ferguson. (note - this is not direct from my brain, but from investigation using the IMDB tool)

[Christmas, 1965 or thereabout]

Christmas - the lights, the music, Santa ...

One of the first bass lines I ever taught myself was that wonderful opening riff from "Barney".
