Review of Bridge and Tunnel

Right off the bat, the dialogue offended me. "Hook up" was not used in 1980 the same way it is today. In 1980 it referred to meeting up, not have sex like it does today. Strike one. Then, when the guy that just got laid prays, he says "...it was a big ask..." Again, that's a current phrase not used in 1980. Next, I noticed the beer bottles were longnecks - not introduced in the States until 1986. Ordinarily such glaring anachronisms are enough to make me change the channel, but I really wanted to see if I could overlook them for a compelling story, compelling or even likable characters, or some decent referencing to Manhattan and its residents disdain for the B&Ters... No such luck. I won't be tuning in for episode 2.

And Ed, seriously, if you want to do a nostalgic trip, work a little harder on authenticity.

Thanks
