@FactsVerse: What's with this nonsense - misinformation regarding "Pert Kelton / 1967", with saying she first appeared on "THE HONEYMOONERS" in that year? Kelton was the very FIRST "Alice Kramden" in 1951.
Episode title - Unconventional Behavior> I read that a third actor was supposed to be on the train, but he had health issues and could not do the scene at airtime. So Jackie and Art brilliantly improvised the handcuff scene to fill the time. When the conductor arrives, it signaled to wrap up the scene.
Blabbermouth was my favorite hands down. The recording of ol' buttercup and the mix up and the alarm clock when Alice's mother was beyond her insults to Ralph was absolutely the funniest. My dad and I would watch these together in the 60's and we laughed so hard. The train episode was pretty good too. All of them were great.
Oh God. When as soon as his mother in law sits down Ralph sets the timer on that clock. And the way he picks it up to periodically check on it to see how much time he has before he is about to bless her out.Brings me to tears every time.
Jackie Gleason may NOT have won an award, but MTA System named a Sheepshead Bay Bus Depot dedicated the depot The Jackie Gleason Bus Depot. On the side of every bus coming out of The Bus Depot has the Logo on the side of the bus passengers go on the bus with as well. Also on the outside of The 8th Avenue Bus Port Authority Bus Station in Manhattan has a statue of Ralph Kramdem in his bus uniform standing outside the Port Authority Bus Station.
It would appear that his later years' casting of Alices was contingent on her availability. When Gleason cast Sue Ane Langdon as Alice at the start of "American Scene Magazine" in 1962, Miss Meadows was on "the Coast" filming "That Touch of Mink," then "Tell Her, She's Mine." Her unavailability to appear every other week come 1966 (by then she was semi-retired, no doubt thanks to the "Honeymooners" residuals she'd negotiated early on) led him to settle on Sheila MacRae. Compared to that, his matters of casting on Trixie after 1957 were far more casual . . . but not so much so that he didn't have Jane Kean continue to play Trixie even after Miss Meadows played Alice on those four 1976-78 ABC hour-long "Honeymooners" specials.
There's 39 classic episodes, but they only show 38.I remember seeing an episode in 1979, where Alice says, " I demand my rights, Ralph!. Then Ralph says, " You want your rights, Alice?? I'll give you your rights --And I'll give you a couple of lefts ,too!! "
I love practically all of them. From Ed Norton addressing the golf ball, playing piano the tune that Ralph needed for first question on game show, sleepwalking, etc. Ralph, his hairbrained schemes, how he faked pain sounding like a bear when he was, talking a big game and when someone catching him with just talk how he stumbles in his words, etc. Alice how she tries cutting Ralph off of his hairbrained schemes, surprising Ralph, proving how wrong he is, etc. Trixie when she is off camera can beat up Norton when he tries something crazy, how she can help Alice scheme to get Ralph or Norton to do something, the constant innuendo of how Trixie was a dancer of the exotic type, etc.

Her mother-in-law's a nice lady and everything . . . " Just a few of Gleason's flubs.
Loved the show. Fave episode? Probably when Ralph decides to take dancing lessons from Norton in prep for taking Alice out. Classic physical humor and some of the best writing of the series.
Okay my favorite episode is when he has to take a company physical the next morning and decides to go bowling. He comes back with a stiff back and hunched over. It must have been that Neapolitan knockwurst that got him LOL
TV Or Not TV. It was the first episode of the classic 39 and the only one that Norton breaks character in laughter when Ralph storms out of the bedroom after hearing gunshots from the TV.
lucky enough to catch the fist 39 and some of the other episodes that I believe pre-dated the "original" 39; regardless, picking a favorite is hard because it's been awhile since I've seen the episodes; what I do remember is they were all great; the roller skating when Ralph fell and couldn't get up; the Christmas episode; the money Ralph found in the luggage on the bus; all were great; not sure I agree with Jackie that Ed Norton was 90% responsible because Audrey and the actress who played Ed's wife were both great, as were the other actors and actress who appeared. As you mentioned, the longevity of its popularity proves "how great it is"
I like the 99,000 Dollar Answer , Ralph went on that show , knew every song sang to man . All except the tune Norton used to warm up with. That was just too much 😂😂😂
These shows were live all the time. They used the Dumont Electronicam to also record it on film as videotape had not been invented yet. This was done for syndication. They also made a kinescope of the love show so that it could be edited the exact way it was broadcast live. After the films from the camera were Edited, the kinescopes were deemed no longer useful and were usually discarded. My dad worked with Gleason on 'the cavalcade of stars" on the dumont network.
Mambo anyone? Well I know everyone out there has the same reaction. No matter how many times you watch the reruns you laugh as hard as like it's the first time your seeing it lol. You know it's coming too. Pure magic. My good buddy and me have been saying honeymooners line's for the last 47 years of our friendship. It's incorporated into our lives. We are in our 60s now and it never gets old. A little blooper by the narrator of this. In the two Alice part he says 1967. I believe it's really 1947. Long live humor!
Early in my childhood I saw the episode where they furiously fought over a winning door prize ticket. The lesson stuck with me. To this day, when I buy lottery tickets, I write my name (or other person's names) on each ticket long before the drawing.
My favorite is when Ralph learns all those song on the $10,000 quiz show, and works hls ass off learning every song , except the warm-up (Swannee River) Ed played to warm-up which is the very first song played on quiz show. Ralph's mind goes blank and finally is asked what is the song and who wrote it, he panics and says Ed Norton? He's out on first question and wins NO money.
I'm glad you said that let me tell you the problem I have with that episode they should have let him make it to the $99 thousand dollar answer and then lose on that last question as predicted by Alice's mother
One of my favorite episodes was where he goes on a game show and selects popular songs as his category. The look on his face when asked the question about Swanee River is priceless.
As I've heard on a few TV sources The Honeymooners was spun off of The Jackie Gleason Show just like The Simpsons was spun off of The Tracy Ullman Show thus,showing life rehashes itself.
Most of the video is not about bloopers at all. They even missed an obvious blooper when Ralph throws his back out bowling. He comes home all stiff and asks for his "sleeping pad," when he meant "heating pad."
I grew up in the 70's and my Dad always spoke about The Honeymooners. I love watching them now. Jackie Gleason was an amazing talent. And, the supporting cast was perfect.
Yeah, I just saw that. Also clips of unrelated shows at 2:05. Andy Griffith, Patty Duke. I think this video was made and narrated by a robot. I hate this type of video.
Wow now that Jackie Gleason is deceased he won’t even know that The Honeymooners is very popular even today , it was a big mistake for him to quit after season 1 that’s sad 😞
My favorite eposide was number 21 that first aired on February 18, 1956. This was the one where Ralph and Ed had mistaken canned dog food as a delicious appetizer made exclusively by Alice; and they both had gran plans to capitalize on it as a million-dollar product for human consumption by bringing Ralph’s boss in on the deal as a major financial backer.
Ed (after learning that the delicacy is in fact dog food, dipping his pinky in the can and tasting it): 'I STILL say it's the best appetizer I ever tasted."
Really can’t see how they could perform the way they did, and not just die laughing. That part where Ralph and Ed where handcuffed to each other while trying to go to sleep and Ed asks Ralph, “do you mind if I smoke?”, Ralph responds with, “I don’t care if you burn”, is one of THE most hilarious lines I’ve ever heard! The writers for that show were amazing.
As teens when they first came back on my brothers and I laughed SO at that scene one night (11:00-11:30 in NY) that my father came downstairs with a belt to beat us into silence cause we had woken him up! We looked at him and laughed even harder as he sheepishly went back upstairs after realizing why we were making so much noise.
I've seen a series of episodes in which the Nortons and the kramdens win a breakfast cereal contest and travel through Europe. It is quite a show. There were musical numbers in each episode. Years later, in the sixties, they revived the show, in color, with Sheila Mac Ray as Alice. It also had the nortins and the kramden traveling through Europe with lots of singing and dancing.
"A Matter of Record" episode, where Ralph screams in his Mother in law's face, You. "Are a blabbermouth!" All 39 episodes are awesome. I love when Ralph bellows, "I have a biiiig mouth!"😂
One of the funniest shows on tv- right there with the Hillbilly’s, Green Acres, etc. My favorite episode was when Ralph and Ed were determined to get drunk in Alice’s kitchen, and she swapped out the wine in the bottle for grape juice. They got drunk on grape juice. Very funny!! Good stuff. Tv isn’t worth watching anymore. 👍🇺🇸❤️
Did you know out of all the performers on Green Acres the only performer to receive an award was Arnold Ziffel as there are awards for performing animals...none of the human actors were even nominated.
@@eloiseockert9233 Good trivia, Eloise👍 That’s a shame, because the actors on that show did a bang up job in the roles they played! Nothing on tv today comes close to that show! 👍
@@FactsVerse Anything along those same lines. Love the old shows- and movies. Better than anything on tv today! Thanx for asking, and for the interesting video on the Honeymooners.👍🇺🇸❤️
The reverse actually. Pert was the first Alice in 1951 - then, nearly 16 years later, he brought her back to play Alice's mother. It was the blacklist that ended her Alice run.
Yeah, I caught that, too. Plus, he says she was removed because her husband was on the blacklist for being a "fascist". Obviously, they thought he was a communist, not a fascist. And then he shows a clip of a interview with Art, when it's Tom Poston being interviewed. I also remember they would do Honeymooners sketches on Jackie's variety show from Miami Beach, and Art was always in them, so where does this they didn't work together for years come from? I keep writing "he", but I probably should use "it", as this is most likely AI.
@@robbarbieri8676 - William Henry III, in his Gleason bio, straddled the fence by citing the "heart trouble" party line peddled for years as the reason for Ms. Kelton's departure upon Gleason signing with CBS - but then basically said it was "aggravated by the blacklist."
Art Carney was fantastic as Ed Norton . His comments , facial expressions , physical humor were unmatched . Him and Gleason were a pair made in Heaven .
The “Blabbermouth” episode when his mother-in-law gives away the ending of a play he was going to see. When he tries to make a recording asking Alice to forgive him, he loses it.😂😂😂
The Honeymooners is the best sitcom ever - - - My favorite episode is the Blabbermouth episode ---- ".... You ! You ! BLABBERMOUTH ! YOU ! OUT ! OUT ! ...."
Your facts are a little off. The first alice was not 1967. It was Joyce Randolf that received the residuals because her brother was an attorney, not Audrey Meadows
I waa in high school when first discovering the Honeymooners back in the 70s when reruns began and the show was a huge hit in my neighborhood and I'm sure in others. We would all be outside my friends and me and as soon as 11 o'clock hit we said gotta go, the Honeymooners are on. My two favorite episodes, the money and the mambo. "I had it and I went with it too..." - "But Ralph everybody does the Mambo, My Grandmother never did it".....I would fall out laughing every time.
@@FactsVerse If you are asking about The Honeymooners, "Chef of the Future" and the episode when Ralph receives a notice from the IRS. (Audrey Meadows was too pretty to be Ralph's wife.). If you are speaking of a television series, Have Gun -- Will Travel, which, in my opinion, was the best series ever broadcast on television. (I saw Have Gun -- Will Travel for the first time in 2021.)
On one of the episodes, one of the characters was coming through the door of the apartment and slammed the door closed. When this happened you could see the painted "backdrop" (the one that showed through their window other apartments beyond the fire escape) wave, or ripple a bit, from the ensuing "concussion."
The Honeymooners is my favorite TV show ever along with the Brady Bunch. The Honeymooners actually filmed from 1951 to 1957. Well I love the classic 39 Honeymooners the lost episodes are also unbelievable and some of them are less than 10 minutes long. My 2 favorite of the shorts I think are Cold and Suspense. Of course there is a lost episode where they were going to adopt a baby but did not. That was a real heartwtencher
My favorite episode has to be the one where the gangster goon asks the boss: 'You want me to give'm a little "sample" boss?", then takes Ralf into the bedroom to beat him up. After some bad noises in the room, Ralf emerges victorious, with the bad guy's gun and yells: "STICKE'M UP!!" Then he tells the goon: "I don't suppose you ever run into a BUS DRIVER before!" God I loved this show. BEST sit com ever!
I have many favorite episodes. One of them is when Ralph thinks he's pretty good at billiards and Alice's pool-shark cousin visits. You can guess what happens. Ironically, Jackie Gleason played the famous pool shark Minnesota Fats in the movie "The Hustler" about him.
"And furthermore, you are a bum." Ralph quitting his job, on his new phone...... Hilarious, as well when trying to buy a boat that must have three propellers.
My favorite episode was the train trip. Listen, what makes this show one of the best of all time was it’s simplicity; isn’t it funny how you can watch the same episode of the Honeymooners a thousand times and still laugh as if you just first saw saw it ? Can’t do that with a lot of the stuff we have to watch today. 🍸🍸
I remember a one off special of the Honeymooners in the 70s and Honeymooners back in the late 70s. There was a topical (at the time) about saccharine causing cancer in rats
I have two faves. One id episode 1 where Ralphn and Ed go in on a TV together. Another is where they are planning to do a live TV commercial. I used to work in live television and that one just cracks me up!
The 1966-1970 "Honeymooners" show more of a summer replacement type show, which was popular at the time. It seemed many of the variety shows had summer replacements. Dean Martin had the "Gold Diggers" summer replacement series. The Smothers Brothers was a summer replacement show originally. The "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" started as a summer replacement series. There was also the variety show featuring the Everly Brothers. Johnny Cash's show started out as a summer replacement series. If these replacement series became popular they got regular season time slots.
There was something I'd considered a blooper until I realized it wasn't. That was where they were doing the live commercial spot (referenced here as "spear fishing"). and stumbling around the stage, Ralph displaced a bit of the set wall so you could see technicians behind it. What gave it away was the over-the-top facial reaction of the "technician" who had to replace the displacement. So I realized that was planned; it was not their blooper, it was a representation of a blooper!
Love the "Mombo" show. I get to see Mrs. Manicotti (and Ralph) do the Mombo. We had a lot "Mrs Manicotti's" in my neighborhood in lower Westchester county when I was growing up.
Oh, and that's the other thing. In his big argument with Alice in that episode, he at one point mispronounced that dance as "mamba." Which is a poisonous snake.
The train trip. Listen, this show has a unique quality that others don’t; you can watch the same episode 100 times and you will laugh every single time. Not many, if any can make you do that…
I think my top favorites are: Brother Ralph, Unconventional Behavior, The Bensonhurst Bomber, The Sleepwalker, and Please Leave The Premises... that being said, they're all great and still make me laugh. favorite quote: "What?!, you said, 'you were not what and I'm who?'"
The Honeymooners was iconic - also, it started as skits on one of Gleason's variety shows. It got expanded into it's own show. When variety shows went out of fashion, Gleason's variety show of the time was being beaten in the ratings by reruns of The Honeymooners.
Biggest mistake Gleason ever made is ending the show after one year stating we have already done everything. That's what Seinfeld and Larry David said yet they went on 9 years. And Larry David was the worst, yet his show Curb seems to never end.
It seems like yesterday I would be watching the show at 11pm on channel 11. After it was over I was always shuffled to be with a curt reminder from mom that there was school tomorrow
Funny Money was by far my favorite episode. When he walks in with the suitcase and his mother in law is sitting at the table and remarks: "What's that, your lunch box?" Ralph replies: "Oh....starting with the wisecracks already. Usually you warm up with a few 'hello stupids.'"
This vid sure bounces around regarding the proper years mentioned. Audrey started in 1967? Things about the show changed in 1995? I will say I love this show
I love all the episodes and have them on DVR and DVD. But I think my favorite is the Christmas episode "Twas The Night Before Christmas" I have watched it over and over again.
Great video. I grew up thinking that the Honeymooners were on for years like I Love Lucy. Not until we had VHS did I realize that it was only on for a season. I guess when you are on top, that’s the best time to get out.😂
From what I read in one of Gleason's bios, it was actually Buick that pulled out after that first and only season, and CBS then subtly persuaded Gleason to hang it up, none too eager to offend a major advertiser. I wonder if was an earlier Buick that was in the last scene of "Something Fishy." I do know there was an in-joke in "The Deciding Vote" when Norton, detecting what was wrong with the vacuum cleaner Ralph got Alice as an anniversary present, said, "The armature sprocket is causing interference; which, in turn, causes the combustion line to interfere with the flow in the Dynaflow." Dynaflow was a feature in Buicks at the time, a form of automatic transmission, in cars produced from 1947 to 1963.
To show you how good this show was, when my wife came to the US and did not know English, she still laughed her head off due to the physical comedy and implied meanings.

My favorite is when Ralph learns all those song on the $10,000 quiz show, and works hls ass off learning every song , except the warm-up (Swannee River) Ed played to warm-up which is the very first song played on quiz show. Ralph's mind goes blank and finally is asked what is the song and who wrote it, he panics and says Ed Norton? He's out on first question and wins NO money.
I'm glad you said that let me tell you the problem I have with that episode they should have let him make it to the $99 thousand dollar answer and then lose on that last question as predicted by Alice's mother
My favorite episodes was when he found the suitcase full of money it was nice to see Ralph with a lot of money for a change
@@undertakerfanz628"I was a millionaire for a couple of days, that's more than anybody else in this dump could say"
@@Damone7653 that's exactly my point Mr. Holmes👍
One of my favorite episodes was where he goes on a game show and selects popular songs as his category. The look on his face when asked the question about Swanee River is priceless.
"HELLO, ball!"
That was hilarious! “Address the ball Norton. Hello ball! Good stuff!
As I've heard on a few TV sources The Honeymooners was spun off of The Jackie Gleason Show just like The Simpsons was spun off of The Tracy Ullman Show thus,showing life rehashes itself.
Most of the video is not about bloopers at all. They even missed an obvious blooper when Ralph throws his back out bowling. He comes home all stiff and asks for his "sleeping pad," when he meant "heating pad."
Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I grew up in the 70's and my Dad always spoke about The Honeymooners. I love watching them now. Jackie Gleason was an amazing talent. And, the supporting cast was perfect.
We're happy to know that you and your dad love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
At 5:25 they talk about Art doing an interview in 1985, then they show a clip of Tom Poston being interviewed. lol
Yeah, I just saw that. Also clips of unrelated shows at 2:05. Andy Griffith, Patty Duke. I think this video was made and narrated by a robot. I hate this type of video.
Wow now that Jackie Gleason is deceased he won’t even know that The Honeymooners is very popular even today , it was a big mistake for him to quit after season 1 that’s sad 😞
My favorite eposide was number 21 that first aired on February 18, 1956. This was the one where Ralph and Ed had mistaken canned dog food as a delicious appetizer made exclusively by Alice; and they both had gran plans to capitalize on it as a million-dollar product for human consumption by bringing Ralph’s boss in on the deal as a major financial backer.
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Ed (after learning that the delicacy is in fact dog food, dipping his pinky in the can and tasting it): 'I STILL say it's the best appetizer I ever tasted."
“Ralph Kramden you have reached the first plateau”! 😂
Never liked this show, Ralph was horrible and abusive.
"Kranmars delicious mystery appetizer" Loved it
The 1st Alice was not in 1967! If you are going to pretend to be an expert get it right.
Really can’t see how they could perform the way they did, and not just die laughing. That part where Ralph and Ed where handcuffed to each other while trying to go to sleep and Ed asks Ralph, “do you mind if I smoke?”, Ralph responds with, “I don’t care if you burn”, is one of THE most hilarious lines I’ve ever heard! The writers for that show were amazing.
As teens when they first came back on my brothers and I laughed SO at that scene one night (11:00-11:30 in NY) that my father came downstairs with a belt to beat us into silence cause we had woken him up! We looked at him and laughed even harder as he sheepishly went back upstairs after realizing why we were making so much noise.
My favorite is The $99,000 Answer. Who is the composer of Swanee River? Ralph: Ed Norton?
The best episode was the episode when 'Ralph,' won the Award for the Best Bus Driver." Because this episode showed him as a success.
I've seen a series of episodes in which the Nortons and the kramdens win a breakfast cereal contest and travel through Europe. It is quite a show. There were musical numbers in each episode. Years later, in the sixties, they revived the show, in color, with Sheila Mac Ray as Alice. It also had the nortins and the kramden traveling through Europe with lots of singing and dancing.
Yes, and McRae was awful in those remakes.
Loved them all but if I have to pick, its the "Chef of the Future".
"A Matter of Record" episode, where Ralph screams in his Mother in law's face, You. "Are a blabbermouth!"
All 39 episodes are awesome. I love when Ralph bellows, "I have a biiiig mouth!"😂
My favorite episode was the one Art Linkletter was in. Thanks for including a clip of it in this video.
One of the funniest shows on tv- right there with the Hillbilly’s, Green Acres, etc. My favorite episode was when Ralph and Ed were determined to get drunk in Alice’s kitchen, and she swapped out the wine in the bottle for grape juice. They got drunk on grape juice. Very funny!! Good stuff. Tv isn’t worth watching anymore. 👍🇺🇸❤️
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Did you know out of all the performers on Green Acres the only performer to receive an award was Arnold Ziffel as there are awards for performing animals...none of the human actors were even nominated.
@@eloiseockert9233 Good trivia, Eloise👍 That’s a shame, because the actors on that show did a bang up job in the roles they played! Nothing on tv today comes close to that show! 👍
@@FactsVerse Anything along those same lines. Love the old shows- and movies. Better than anything on tv today! Thanx for asking, and for the interesting video on the Honeymooners.👍🇺🇸❤️
Seriously? Pert Keltons’ 1967 appearance as Alices’ mom lead her to be the first Alice in 1951? Wanna rethink that one?
The reverse actually. Pert was the first Alice in 1951 - then, nearly 16 years later, he brought her back to play Alice's mother. It was the blacklist that ended her Alice run.
Yeah, I caught that, too. Plus, he says she was removed because her husband was on the blacklist for being a "fascist". Obviously, they thought he was a communist, not a fascist. And then he shows a clip of a interview with Art, when it's Tom Poston being interviewed. I also remember they would do Honeymooners sketches on Jackie's variety show from Miami Beach, and Art was always in them, so where does this they didn't work together for years come from? I keep writing "he", but I probably should use "it", as this is most likely AI.
@@robbarbieri8676 - William Henry III, in his Gleason bio, straddled the fence by citing the "heart trouble" party line peddled for years as the reason for Ms. Kelton's departure upon Gleason signing with CBS - but then basically said it was "aggravated by the blacklist."
huge fan!!!!!!! best sitcom ever for a lot of reasons. member of R.A.L.P.H. the honeymooners fan club back in the day. favorite episode?? all 39!
Ed dancing the Hucklebuck . Comedy Gold .
Art Carney was fantastic as Ed Norton . His comments , facial expressions , physical humor were unmatched . Him and Gleason were a pair made in Heaven .
The “Blabbermouth” episode when his mother-in-law gives away the ending of a play he was going to see. When he tries to make a recording asking Alice to forgive him, he loses it.😂😂😂
The Honeymooners is the best sitcom ever - - - My favorite episode is the Blabbermouth episode ---- ".... You ! You ! BLABBERMOUTH ! YOU ! OUT ! OUT ! ...."
"Little Jack Little."
Don’t forget, Basile Fomeine 😉
Johnny Metzger and his Toy Piano lol
Your facts are a little off. The first alice was not 1967. It was Joyce Randolf that received the residuals because her brother was an attorney, not Audrey Meadows
Love each and every episode, but if I had to pick a favorite it'd be the golf one. "Hello ball!" 😂
My favorite "a matter of record" to his mother in law...You are a blabbermouth! You...Blabbermouth!
Loved this show
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Ralph: “Just remember: you can’t put your arms around a memory.”
Alice: “I can’t even put my arms around you!”
I waa in high school when first discovering the Honeymooners back in the 70s when reruns began and the show was a huge hit in my neighborhood and I'm sure in others. We would all be outside my friends and me and as soon as 11 o'clock hit we said gotta go, the Honeymooners are on. My two favorite episodes, the money and the mambo. "I had it and I went with it too..." - "But Ralph everybody does the Mambo, My Grandmother never did it".....I would fall out laughing every time.
Funniest episode: when Ralph and Norton boarded the wrong train to the convention.
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse If you are asking about The Honeymooners, "Chef of the Future" and the episode when Ralph receives a notice from the IRS. (Audrey Meadows was too pretty to be Ralph's wife.). If you are speaking of a television series, Have Gun -- Will Travel, which, in my opinion, was the best series ever broadcast on television. (I saw Have Gun -- Will Travel for the first time in 2021.)
Fred's Landing
On one of the episodes, one of the characters was coming through the door of the apartment and slammed the door closed. When this happened you could see the painted "backdrop" (the one that showed through their window other apartments beyond the fire escape) wave, or ripple a bit, from the ensuing "concussion."
@5:30 it seems that Art Carney has morphed into Tom Poston...

The Honeymooners is my favorite TV show ever along with the Brady Bunch.
The Honeymooners actually filmed from 1951 to 1957. Well I love the classic 39 Honeymooners the lost episodes are also unbelievable and some of them are less than 10 minutes long. My 2 favorite of the shorts I think are Cold and Suspense. Of course there is a lost episode where they were going to adopt a baby but did not. That was a real heartwtencher
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the Honeymooners. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
My favorite episode has to be the one where the gangster goon asks the boss: 'You want me to give'm a little "sample" boss?", then takes Ralf into the bedroom to beat him up. After some bad noises in the room, Ralf emerges victorious, with the bad guy's gun and yells: "STICKE'M UP!!" Then he tells the goon: "I don't suppose you ever run into a BUS DRIVER before!" God I loved this show. BEST sit com ever!
Fact Check
0:24 - _"Pert Kelton first appeared as Alice in a 1967"_
She was Alice in the early 1950s.
I have many favorite episodes. One of them is when Ralph thinks he's pretty good at billiards and Alice's pool-shark cousin visits. You can guess what happens. Ironically, Jackie Gleason played the famous pool shark Minnesota Fats in the movie "The Hustler" about him.
Ralph becomes the maintenance man of the building-Is my favorite episode!
"And furthermore, you are a bum." Ralph quitting his job, on his new phone...... Hilarious, as well when trying to buy a boat that must have three propellers.
My favorite episode was the train trip. Listen, what makes this show one of the best of all time was it’s simplicity; isn’t it funny how you can watch the same episode of the Honeymooners a thousand times and still laugh as if you just first saw saw it ? Can’t do that with a lot of the stuff we have to watch today. 🍸🍸
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I remember a one off special of the Honeymooners in the 70s and Honeymooners back in the late 70s. There was a topical (at the time) about saccharine causing cancer in rats
I have two faves. One id episode 1 where Ralphn and Ed go in on a TV together. Another is where they are planning to do a live TV commercial. I used to work in live television and that one just cracks me up!

The 1966-1970 "Honeymooners" show more of a summer replacement type show, which was popular at the time. It seemed many of the variety shows had summer replacements. Dean Martin had the "Gold Diggers" summer replacement series. The Smothers Brothers was a summer replacement show originally. The "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" started as a summer replacement series. There was also the variety show featuring the Everly Brothers. Johnny Cash's show started out as a summer replacement series. If these replacement series became popular they got regular season time slots.
🔔 It is to be hoped that the Classic 39 will be colorized soon (but with the very GOOD quality process).

There was something I'd considered a blooper until I realized it wasn't. That was where they were doing the live commercial spot (referenced here as "spear fishing"). and stumbling around the stage, Ralph displaced a bit of the set wall so you could see technicians behind it. What gave it away was the over-the-top facial reaction of the "technician" who had to replace the displacement. So I realized that was planned; it was not their blooper, it was a representation of a blooper!
Love the "Mombo" show.
I get to see Mrs. Manicotti (and Ralph) do the Mombo.
We had a lot "Mrs Manicotti's" in my neighborhood in lower Westchester county when I was growing up.
Us too! Thank you so much for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse would love to see outtakes from All in the Family.
Oh, and that's the other thing. In his big argument with Alice in that episode, he at one point mispronounced that dance as "mamba." Which is a poisonous snake.
Audrey Meadows was a great actress and a beautiful lady which shone through her character Jackie Gleason was a comedic GENIUS.
The train trip. Listen, this show has a unique quality that others don’t; you can watch the same episode 100 times and you will laugh every single time. Not many, if any can make you do that…
I think my top favorites are: Brother Ralph, Unconventional Behavior, The Bensonhurst Bomber, The Sleepwalker, and Please Leave The Premises... that being said, they're all great and still make me laugh. favorite quote: "What?!, you said, 'you were not what and I'm who?'"

The Honeymooners was iconic - also, it started as skits on one of Gleason's variety shows. It got expanded into it's own show. When variety shows went out of fashion, Gleason's variety show of the time was being beaten in the ratings by reruns of The Honeymooners.
There are so many, but one of my favorites is the Christmas episode.
Biggest mistake Gleason ever made is ending the show after one year stating we have already done everything. That's what Seinfeld and Larry David said yet they went on 9 years. And Larry David was the worst, yet his show Curb seems to never end.
It seems like yesterday I would be watching the show at 11pm on channel 11. After it was over I was always shuffled to be with a curt reminder from mom that there was school tomorrow
Thank you. That was a fascinating 10 minutes.
Jackie LOVED Art Carney's acting and was often quoted as saying so.
Funny Money was by far my favorite episode. When he walks in with the suitcase and his mother in law is sitting at the table and remarks: "What's that, your lunch box?" Ralph replies: "Oh....starting with the wisecracks already. Usually you warm up with a few 'hello stupids.'"
A bla bla mouth Alice mother when visit Ralph ,,a beautiful funny show of all time, I’m still watching today ! ❤❤❤👍
Blabbermouth is our favorite episode 😂😂😂
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
The mother-in-law spilling the beans on a play for which Ralph had tickets
D.E.W. .... I REMEMBER AUDREY
MEADOWS IS JANE MEADOWS SISTER. HONEYMOONERS WAS FUNNY.
😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

This vid sure bounces around regarding the proper years mentioned. Audrey started in 1967? Things about the show changed in 1995? I will say I love this show
"address the ball - Hello Ball!" lol
I love all the episodes and have them on DVR and DVD. But I think my favorite is the Christmas episode "Twas The Night Before Christmas" I have watched it over and over again.
My favorite ep was A Matter of Life and Death. 'Oxford, oh, in England?' 'O, is that where it is?'
Great video. I grew up thinking that the Honeymooners were on for years like I Love Lucy. Not until we had VHS did I realize that it was only on for a season. I guess when you are on top, that’s the best time to get out.😂
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what is your favorite Honeymooners episode?
From what I read in one of Gleason's bios, it was actually Buick that pulled out after that first and only season, and CBS then subtly persuaded Gleason to hang it up, none too eager to offend a major advertiser.
I wonder if was an earlier Buick that was in the last scene of "Something Fishy." I do know there was an in-joke in "The Deciding Vote" when Norton, detecting what was wrong with the vacuum cleaner Ralph got Alice as an anniversary present, said, "The armature sprocket is causing interference; which, in turn, causes the combustion line to interfere with the flow in the Dynaflow." Dynaflow was a feature in Buicks at the time, a form of automatic transmission, in cars produced from 1947 to 1963.
To show you how good this show was, when my wife came to the US and did not know English, she still laughed her head off due to the physical comedy and implied meanings.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing lol! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
Great show and great cast ❤
The $99000 Answer: I've probably watched and laughed thru it 99000 times
