I saw some of the show, “Bridget Loves Bernie,” when it was on (I was very young), and met Meredith years later. R.I.P.

St. Elsewhere was a favorite show of mine, and we’ve been able to rewatch the series on Hulu.
I felt for him through the marriage-ending issues with his wife, Meridith. Bizarre.

The show was popular — slotted between ratings juggernauts “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “All in the Family
It was NOT really popular. It did better than "Fay" and "Beacon Hill" and "All's Fair", maybe, but that's about it. It lost a quarter of the "All in the Family" audience who had to change the channel, and change the channel again for Mary Tyler Moore.
Move "Bridget Loves Bernie" up against Monday Night Football or even "The Partridge Family" and it loses big. CBS could do better, and they did.
MASH, Bob Newhart and even the HORRIBLE Maude did better in that slot.

..short-lived thanks to controversial protests by Jewish groups who disagreed with the “intermarriage” of Birney’s Jewish cabbie character, Bernie Steinberg, and Baxter’s Bridget Fitzgerald, a Catholic grade school teacher from a wealthy family. Oy vey.

I enjoyed Bridget Loves Bernie as a teen, and I’m not only sorry that he’s gone, but that he had Alzheimers. RIP, and condolences to his family and friends.

I saw the first episode which was mostly about Bernie and Bridget, and saw a few of the later shows which seemed to be mostly about the two sets of parents and stereotypical humor. In one episode Bernie’s parents win a trip to Rome and Bridget’s parents win a trip to Israel. They initially pretend to be trilled with the prospective trips but finally agree to switch. As if Irish Catholics wouldn’t have any interest in seeing the Holy Land.

I remember liking Bridget Loves Bernie, but that is all I remember about it.
