Bridge used to be one of those card games that adults were expected to know how to play, and a big help would have come from watching Championship Bridge with Charles Goren, one of the greatest bridge experts ever. His columns on bridge ran in newspapers for decades, and his books on bridge sold over ten million copies. Championship Bridge ran on ABC from 1959 to 1964. Here's an episode with guest Chico Marx.
