Duffy's Tavern was an American situation comedy television series . The opening of Duffy's Tavern began with the sound of a piano playing "When Irish Eyes are Smiling", sometimes with several people singing along. A telephone's ringing would cut through the music. Archie would answers the phone: "Duffy's Tavern where the elite meet to eat. Duffy ain't here, Archie the manager speaking" (short pause) "Oh hello Duffy".
Archie the manager, played by Ed Gardner, led the antics at the bar & grill on Third Avenue. Regulars included Ms. Duffy (Duffy's daughter, who was man-crazy), Eddie the janitor/helper around the bar, and Clifton Finnegan, the loveable moron.
Almost every week there was a guest star, from Shelley Winters to Nigel Bruce.
