Why Bridget Loves Bernie might be annoying:

    With its use of religious, ethnic and generation-gap humor, it was considered derivative of All in the Family.
    It drew protests from Catholic and Jewish groups over its religious humor.
    The producers responded to the complaints by watering down the premise until it resembled every other sitcom.
    CBS cancelled it for failing to retain enough of the audience from its lead-in, All in the Family.
