Mixed Blessings (Canadian TV series)
Mixed Blessings was a Canadian sitcom that aired on the CTV television network from 1990 to 1993. The series focused on the interfaith and interracial marriage of Barbara (Bronwyn Davies) and Brian (Eric Peterson), and the challenges and humorous situations arising from their differing backgrounds.
The show explored themes of cultural differences, religious tolerance, and family dynamics, often through comedic situations involving Barbara's Jewish family and Brian's Irish Catholic family. Recurring characters included their respective parents and other relatives, who often clashed in good-natured ways.
Mixed Blessings was created by Martin Sage and produced by Alliance Communications. While it enjoyed moderate success in Canada, it was not widely distributed internationally. The show is remembered for its lighthearted approach to sensitive topics and its portrayal of a diverse Canadian family.
