Bridget & Eamon was a popular Irish sitcom that ran from 2016 to 2019. The show is set in the 1980s and revolves around the lives of Bridget and Eamon, a working-class couple from a rural Irish town who have a hilariously dysfunctional relationship. The show stars Jennifer Maguire as Bridget, a housewife who dreams of a better life, and Bernard O'Shea as Eamon, her thick-headed husband who stays at home all day, drinks beer and watches TV. Other cast members include Colum McDonnell, who plays various supporting roles throughout the series.

Bridget & Eamon is a nostalgia-laden comedy that pokes fun at the cultural quirks and conventions of 1980s Ireland. The show is characterised by its outrageous humour, silly antics, and memorable catchphrases.

From the first episode, Bridget & Eamon grabs the viewer's attention with its high-energy physical comedy and larger-than-life characters. The tone of the series is set early on as Bridget and Eamon navigate the ups and downs of married life while grappling with financial difficulties, cultural clashes and the stresses of everyday living.

Throughout the series, the show's creators playfully riff on the stereotypes of rural Irish life in the 80s, highlighting the quirks and absurdities of small-town living. Many episodes revolve around Bridget and Eamon's harebrained schemes to make ends meet, from opening a B&B to selling knock-off cosmetics door-to-door.

Other episodes see the couple dealing with a variety of hilarious predicaments, such as getting stuck in a lift, being mistaken for IRA members, or accidentally becoming involved in a political protest.

One of the most memorable aspects of Bridget & Eamon is the dynamic between the two lead characters. Bridget is portrayed as a feisty, independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind, while Eamon is a lovable but foolish man-child who needs Bridget to keep him in check.

Despite their constant bickering and disagreements, Bridget and Eamon clearly care deeply for each other, and their love for one another shines through in some of the show's more intimate and touching moments.

Overall, Bridget & Eamon is a funny, irreverent comedy that expertly captures the spirit of 1980s Ireland. The show's infectious charm, memorable characters and laugh-out-loud moments make it a must-watch for fans of Irish comedy or anyone looking for a good laugh.

Bridget & Eamon is a series that ran for 4 seasons (27 episodes) between February 1, 2016 and on OhmTV
