Gary David Goldberg and TV Worth Watching shared a love of quality television — including Goldberg’s. His own personal website, for years, has linked to a story on TV Worth Watching by Tom Brinkmoeller, bemoaning the lack of a DVD release for one of Goldberg’s finest series, Brooklyn Bridge.
With the news of Goldberg's death, we here at TV Worth Watching feel it’s time to do more than bemoan — and to be active. So what we pledge to do, in the coming days and weeks, is mount a campaign to persuade some home-video distributor — collaborating with them, if necessary — to get Goldberg’s semi-autobiographical 1991-93 CBS comedy Brooklyn Bridge released on DVD at last.
And the first step is to do the social-media equivalent of collecting signatures, asking what sounds like an old con but actually is a sincere query:
The question is, Would you buy the Brooklyn Bridge?
If you would, tell us so, so we can count you among the eager fans waiting for such a release. And, if you like, tell us why, because what we’ve heard from people who love this show is that memories of it are as fond as they are strong.
The more of you who respond, the better case we can make in trying to make the Brooklyn Bridge DVD a reality, in honor of Gary David Goldberg’s memory, and legacy.
Please, leave your comments below, and we'll keep you posted on our efforts.
