I am currently watching 3rd season of Bridget and Eamon and have grown to love it. Whether it's Eamons stupidity or Bridget mad notions brings me right back to my childhood. Don't know if an American audience would get this humor but I certainly do and I find even if I'm in bad mood it always makes me chuckle. If you are wondering whether to try this out give it a few episodes as it does grow on you very similar to Farher Ted once you get to know characters

I must also respectfully disagree with the one star review. This show is funny and clever, and completely over the top (in the best possible way). I watched the first episode with little hope, but then found myself binge watching the entire season in one day.In my opinion, Bridget & Eamon is one of the funniest shows to ever come out of Ireland -- give it a try.

I respectfully disagree with the 1 star review - yes you're meant to think Eamon is a moron and like all characters, the great ones are never the main/lead roles (See Ep 3 - Frank in the bed!). Having grown up in the 80's with Irish family members on both sides of the border, there are references and idiosyncrasies within the script that have kept me chuckling and the black-market condom scenes were brilliant. Comparing Bridget & Eamon to Seinfeld is pointless, as B&E isn't trying to be intelligent. Given the similarities I've seen between the characters and my own Irish family members I imagine a great proportion of the script is inspired by their own experiences. The costume, titles, cinematography help paint the 80's vibe - which I love. The show reminds a little of Father Ted.

Found this on Hulu when I was checking out which programs each station offered. This show is a hidden gem, at least here in the states. I'll be honest it took a while before I could start finding it funny. Sort of like a slow burn. But after the second or third episode I really started to enjoy it. Now I have gone back and watched the series twice and love every episode. It's a little on the nose but so well done.
