Truly universal appeal

I grew up Methodist,not Jewish. I lived in Oklahoma, not New York. Yet this series felt like family, with some delightful cultural differences. It could be warm without becoming cloying. The people were fully developed, not stereotypes or "characters." The episode in which the Jewish and Irish Catholic families went to a Chinese restaurant is one of the best racial and cultural commentaries I've ever seen in any medium. I wish it could have run forever.

"BBBB" (Bring Back "Brooklyn Bridge") on DVD!

The short-lived television series "Brooklyn Bridge" was one of the finest family programs ever. It was nostalgic... and funny... and sad... and entertaining... and educational... and worthy of many other superlative accolades, as well.

With a good marketing effort, "Brooklyn Bridge" on DVDs would, we believe, be the popular program it should have been when originally aired, but was prematurely canceled.

PLEASE... "BBBB"-- Bring Back "Brooklyn Bridge" for a new generation (as well as for those who remember it fondly).

VERY ENTERTAINING SERIES...WARNING--MAY BE ADDICTIVE!

Kind of a "Jewish Wonder Years". I didn't catch Brooklyn Bridge during its initial run on CBS; probably a good thing, since it was cancelled. Bravo to the BRAVO network for picking it up! It only took one episodes for me to become hooked. I've never lived in NY, only visited- and Brooklyn has got to be the most colorful city in the whole US. Brooklyn Bridge represents REAL people with REAL feelings in REAL life. It's fast-moving and the writing is authentic. Love it!

GREAT SHOW

This is a great television show that can teach you a lot of lessons.Too bad it is not on television anymore,not even on reruns.I use to watch in Bravo.I think Mr.Grier and Grandma were the best characters.Usually,you don't get that many television shows these days that are so entertaining.A television show doesn't have to be laugh-out-loud funny,though it doesn't have to be a crappy police drama either.If this show is on video,I am buying it.

One of the best ever ... but viewers weren't interested

Goldberg's "Brooklyn Bridge" is one of the best television series ever made. But viewers ignored it, as did so-called watchdogs who whine about there not being high-quality programs for families. The cast, led by Gerard as the oldest son, was excellent. The stories about growing up and trying to get along with an extended family were down-to-earth and sometimes poignant. If it comes back to cable, watch it. Every episode was solid, with most rising to a level untouched by TV. "Brooklyn Bridge" should be considered classic television.
