(1) http://www.schoolbridgeleague.org (2) Bridge info from http://www.theleague.org/ or http://leagueworldwide.org/ : About Us (at the very bottom of the page) then Staff ... Barbara Dillbeck About Us then About - ad at bottom for Bridge Manager Info on School Bridge League in Hawaii - "840 students in 45 schools" in USA .... http://www.theleague.org/index.php?option=...id=500&Itemid=1 Info about the School Bridge Leaguehttp://www.theleague.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=204&Itemid=1 but basically all the bridge info is on website (1) not website (2).

Hanoi5 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 but I wouldn't bother discussing the bids themselves. Unless it deserved it, for example, to point out why they played a different contract than at the other table. By the way, showing a comparison is essential.

bill1157 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I am surprised no one has mentioned the DVD set of "Championship Bridge with Charles Goren" {a tv series froms the 50's/60's}. I got sets for my wife (who is now decided she wants to learn bridge) and for my brother and another couple who are all learning and playing rubber bridge with us some.The show is pretty good, has great players and celebrities (Chico Marx strikes me as the worst bridge player of all time).Anyway that might give you some ideas for a future TV show.

BillAgree. It was an excellent show. I especially enjoyed the episode(s) in which Eric Murray played. I also found the interplay between Goren and Dreier to be very amusing. My wife was introduced to bridge through Championship Bridge reruns and was later introduced to me through bridge :) IMO a show with the same basic format of Championship Bridge is much more likely to be successful than a show that attempts to cover a major tournament.

hotShot Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think there were some episodes teaching Acol on the dutch television in the 80th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill1157 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Having read most of the posts here, i have an idea for a TV show on Bridge.The show would be called: "Poker Beauties Learn to Play Bridge" and would star Shannon Elizabeth, Vanessa Russo and 2 other Poker beauties, with commentary by Phil Gordon. The ladies would start out playing mini-bridge (maybe add a slam bonus to spice things up, and the partial could be a minimum of 8 tricks rather than 7).Score 400 for bidding and making game, 900 for bidding and making slam, 150 for partscore. Also, undertricks and overtricks are counted only if X or XX. Do a pilot or 2 on you-tube and see how it goes! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think there were some episodes teaching Acol on the dutch television in the 80th. I saw bridge lessons on Dutch telly in 96, was quite cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Celebrity bridge could be really appealing. That sounds like a wondrful idea. JEC vs Bill Gates on TV, that would be wonderful. If you could get a young singer into the game even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 This idea should be followed by other countries. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, JEC sound interesting I think you could add Sheryl Crow, Hugh Hefner (would he know a bridge playing bunny :lol: ) and some others. The radiohead guys, I think Coldplay, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
