Here is the opening to the pilot episode of the sitcom "Bridget Loves Bernie" starring Meredith Baxter and David Birney.
The show ran for only one season on CBS TV from September 16 1972 until March 3 1973.
Bernie (David Birney) is a struggling young Jewish writer who supplements his income by driving a cab. Bridget (Meredith Baxter), his young bride, is an elementary school teacher whose parents are wealthy Irish Catholics. The couple share a small apartment above a New York City delicatessen owned by Bernie's parents.
The widely divergent ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds of the Steinberg and Fitzgerald families, and their attempts to reconcile for the sake of the young couple, provide most of the plot situations.
