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

As a Yank that lived in Ireland for half a year in the the 70's and visited in the 80's and in 2010, I find "Bridget & Eamon" to be a right proper comedy. From gregarious to the subtle, humor abounds, minute to minute, in this old-world-Irish send-off. Rarely can so many clichés be acceptably jammed packed into 24 minutes with such great results. I highly recommend this 5 star comedy. It's well written and nicely performed.

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.

I managed to catch the second episode of Bridget & Eamon. Admittedly it takes time for comedies to develop. Unfortunately I can see no foundation on which to build a series. It will take time for the "talent" to fix the many problems in the show, which will be difficult because they don't appear to have any talent. They need the live audience from The Big Bang Theory, experts at laughing at nothing. The closest we get to comedy is characters shouting loudly, a badly choreographed fight scene and the F bomb being dropped for no reason. The writers may have attempted to write jokes, but have seemingly only succeeded in making themselves laugh, and no one else. Sure, Jerry Seinfeld only wanted Larry David to laugh,and vice versa, but they were intelligent and articulate. They're witty observations tapped into a collective conscience. There's nothing in Bridget & Eamon that anyone can relate to. It's set in the 80's, broadcast in 2016 but has nothing to say about either time period. It takes place in an alternate universe, a live action series which inexplicably contains cartoon characters. And there's the biggest problem, characters. Eamon is a big, loud fool. He gets drunk, threatens to fight himself and falls over. I've seen that character far too often in television and movies, enough. Bridget is a one dimensional Hyacinth Bucket knock off, who tortures dogs with her high pitched whining. Episode two is awful. There's no evidence in that episode that the series could improve. Even if it does, I'll never watch it again. Bridget & Eamon episode two is the worst thing I've ever seen on television.
