It was a TV series. Constance appeared in a recurring role in about 5 or 6 episodes. It was a warm, gentle series about a boy from a Jewish family in Brooklyn in 1956 and 1957. The show was beautifully written, very funny, tender, and touching, one of the best 30-minute series ever made. Unfortunately, CBS wasn't much behind the series and kept moving it around the schedule, so it was never able to attract a following. It only lasted for 35 episodes, sadly. But it was brilliant.

Brooklyn Bridge probably confused a lot of viewers sampling it for the first time since it had a somewhat different format. it wasn't the "rapid-fire jokes/snappy retort" sort of sitcom with a studio audience and laugh track that most people expected. I guess it could be one of those "dramedies" that everyone was trying to make happen in the 1990s, though it was classified as a sitcom at the Emmys. The producers were the same bunch behind Family Ties, but BB had a semi-autobiographical element that made it more sentimental rather than a joke-fest.
