This is DEFINITELY a recommendation: Ten years ago, one of our TVWW contributors, Tom Brinkmoeller, wrote a column that remains, I believe, our most commented-upon blog in our 13-year history. It was about the lamentable fact that Gary David Goldberg’s
Brooklyn Bridge, the outstanding 1991 period comedy set in 1950s Brooklyn, not only was nowhere in syndication or cable, but had no then-current plans for home-video release on DVD. That was a decade ago, as you can read in
Tom Brinkmoeller’s guest blog, and
Brooklyn Bridge has been a maddeningly reclusive creature since then – until now. Beginning tonight at 1 a.m. with the series pilot, Decades is presenting one episode nightly. I’d complain about the late hour, but I’m so thrilled to see it all, all I’m doing is pointing you towards it. Marion Ross, after playing the ultimate WASP matriarch of
Happy Days, plays the quintessential Jewish grandmother here. Record these episodes. Save them. Treasure them.
