Brooklyn Bridge is an American sitcom television series which aired on CBS between September 20, 1991, to August 6, 1993. It is about a Jewish American family living in Brooklyn in the mid-1950s. The premise was partially based on the childhood of executive producer and creator Gary David Goldberg. Brooklyn Bridge won a Golden Globe for Best Television Comedy or Musical and was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1992. In 1997, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" was ranked number 46 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. While the show received acclaim, low ratings were present from the get-go. By November of 1992, CBS put the show on hiatus, which Goldberg believed was a lie done to quietly kill the show off. Despite a grassroots viewer campaign by the Viewers for Quality Television and others, the show was cancelled at the end of the following year.

DVD release

Gary David Goldberg had announced on his official website that CBS Home Entertainment (with distribution by Paramount Home Entertainment) would release the complete series of Brooklyn Bridge on DVD in Region 1 in the middle of May 2010. However, the DVD was later delayed indefinitely; Goldberg died in 2013. Bootleg copies of select episodes in VHS quality were once available on YouTube.
