Duffy's Tavern TV Series  1954


"Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie speaking." The TV show transferred as much as
possible from the highly popular radio show. But times had changed by 1954. Population was shifting
westward from blue-collar cities to white-collar suburbs, while New York ethnic types were no longer
emblematic of the nation as a whole. The show itself was syndicated, not network sponsored, which
may account for the cheap production values, often a single set of the tavern interior. That put a lot of
pressure on the quality of the scripts. These were often as amusing as the radio half-hours, relying like
those half-hours on the fractured English of colorful characters.
