These are so precious that I go from laughter to tears during their touching moments. Clean comedy not the sick, twisted shows that air today from the News to so-called comedy. Thank You for Posting these Classics.
Thanks for these posts! Brings back a LOT of memories of my father and uncle watching this show and being in stitches. We'd visiit my father once or twice a year in NYC and this was all a part of the city environment. With the live taping and audience it's like they are performing a play at a theatre and just happen to be being filmed. Live tv was incredible in those days. This show is like the seed for every sitcom that came after and they are STILL "borrowing" plots from this classic; like Seinfeld and The Simpsons.

These are the kinescopes that were used to edit the films from the Dumont Electronicam. The elextronicam had 35mm film cameras attached to the Dumont TV cameras. Remember this was a LIVE show, so the kinescope was the recording of what acrually went over the air. This was before the age of videotape. Kinescopes were 16mm film. A kinescope was a camera aimed at a b&w tv monitor. Kinescopes were far inferior to the 35mm film. I worked on both the Dumont Electronicam & Kinescope cameras.
29:45 As a kid I used to fantasize about one day marrying a woman like Alice. She’s supportive, smart and beautiful. The original *Keeper,* baby, she’s the greatest!
Audry Meadows was an amazing actress,on so many levels-She was an incredibly glamourous lady who made the working class housewife ,Alice Kramden come to life,and live on to this day.
The staging and camera work on these skits from the variety series is much more claustrophobic than the stand alone 39 episodes. A very interesting contrast.
I couldn't have forgiven Ralph for his behavior and ruining my chance to have my photo taken in that first episode. I was mad just sitting here watching it. Stew on the stove would have been stew on his head in my kitchen. LOL
I did not like that they never let Ralph or Alice win and Alice being in the print ad for glow worm cleaner would have been a small win for her. But no.
He's ruined so many things that could've made her happy but him saying he's sorry along with admitting his jealousy made it ok. As much as I love this show, that has always bothered me.
These are Kinescopes. Video tape had yet to be made plausible but Video cameras and switchers were up and running. The only way to record production was to film it with film cameras, Like "I Love Lucy" and some Honeymooners episodes, but the down and dirty was the Kinescope. Literally a film camera aimed at a TV monitor to capture the show "on the fly" as it went down live. Hence the combination of video tube flashes (dark outs when glare overloaded the tube) and film scratches. Better than nothing but less than perfect. Cool eh?
Glad you're enjoying them. Please share. These were sketch episodes that featured on the Jackie Gleason Show from 1952-1957. The Honeymooners Classic 39 Episodes TV Show ran through 1955-1956.
Ralph is an explosion 💥 waiting to happen, poor lovely Alice for having to stand too close. When she talked about murdering him, for the play on stage, I thought she meant him. If this is the honeymoon, they'd better get soundproofing for the walls. I saw these when they first came out in Australia 🇦🇺, but I don't remember this one. 💎
How did you find these ? True Jem's , I thought there were only 39 episodes made ? Seen a lot of documentary's about Gleason , never once heard of these episodes.
The Honeymooners sitcom was 39 episodes. But The Honeymooners had started before that as sketches on The Jackie Gleason Show and that's where these episodes come from. They were lost for decades and that's why they became known as The Honeymooners Lost Episodes.
Well he was an actor. An actor named Jackie Gleason, Ralph Kramden was just one of his characters. I don't believe he was a Texas sheriff chasing a bootlegger in a black Trans Am in real life either.😊😊
One of my favorite shows. A bus driver from Brooklyn, living with bipolar disorder. It’s MY STRUGGLE! But it’s funny to see how excited people with this disorder yell…it’s cost me ALLLL LOVE ,WOMEN, JOBS, GOT ME LOCKED UP. Allll these years later and still no cure for me and Ralphie boy…dam manic episodes!!!🙄👌🏽😳👀👋🏽
The Norton character was much more likable than Ralph. Ralph was NOT a likable character. He’s fat, loud, doesn’t buy Alice anything, never put her first for anything, he hustles Norton. If u really break it down there was nothing bout him, but he had something cuz he was funny.
These were aired on the Jackie Gleason Show. Most of these pre-date The Honeymooners Classic 39 Episodes. You can tell that there were more low budget and more raw, a lot of it appears to have been filmed on the fly, no second takes - if a mistake was made they just kept going. While that makes these less polished, it also makes the humour more natural.
Tuning in to watch a husband yell and mistreat his wife is not really funny to me. Although I do like the interaction between Ralph and Norton, to me it is not a relaxing show to watch
It was the 1950s and they were different times. It was for comedic purposes only and no one got offended. Today, people get offended by anything and evertything. TV shows are full of violence, gore, very foul language, drug use - all very graphic, and all that seems to be acceptable. I know which I'd rather watch.
I really should not join that typical crowd of politically correct people I am not like that at all. It is just that it strikes a chord of abusiviness in my life. The yelling & screaming & the I know it all attitude goes right through me.
So, why are you here, and why do you feel the need to post this then? Don't watch it, and don't tell everybody else how awful it makes you feel when you watch something you don't like watching. Sorry, but I have zero patience for people who make everything about themselves and assume everybody else wants to hear about it. Move along. Thanks.
I don’t understand how anyone in the fifties could think that this show was funny. Kramden was a bad husband, a bad friend, a bad citizen, a bad employee, a bad in-law and as dishonest as he could possibly be .
@@kamigordon489 You could say the same thing about King Lear and elder abuse etc. The Alice character on The Honeymooners was the only one of those TV wives back then that stood up to her husband. And she knew it was all bluster.

Oh brother, how STUPID!

'Theater'. Correct spelling.

These had to be very early , Jackie is still pretty trim.
This was the only show I was allowed to stay up late and watch as a kid.
These ran on the Jackie Gleason show from 1952 to 1957. The Honeymooners TV show ran 1955-1956.
Where in the World does anyone see that Ralph is Pretty Trim ?
@@joemeyer738 , relatively speaking. He gets much heavier later on.
O K I guess I didn't notice Ralph got bigger Cuz he looked the same but I'll pay closer attention while Watching ! Thanks for the Info @bluecollar58 !
I though the classic 39 ran in 55-56...
A lot of the jokes and one liners were jokes used by comedians for years . However they weaved them into the episodes flawlessly. .
Awesome thank You
Glad you're enjoying it. Please share, and look out for Part 2 coming this Sunday. 😊
Great man that Jackie Gleason
Great show😅👍🏻 Alice was cute back in the day. She was pretty.
Absolutely! She always looked lovely.
Not pretty she was gorgeous 😊
One of kind shows will never forget.
That was hilarious!! One of the best I've seen.
Love to see rhe lost episodes on you tube. Amazing lovely funny shows that were lost for years. I have the Dvds .
I watch honeymooners everyday

Thanks, I love information like this
i love the honeymooners
Love the Honeymooners, !!!
Our love is here to stay😊
I’m choking laughing so much. Ha
This episode was a masterpiece 😂😂😂😂😂
vintage fifties...thanks for posting...great stuf...
Glad you enjoyed it. Please share. And check out Part 2 also.
Ty for posting. I’m on 1-5 and looking forward to seeing the others.
Happy that you're enjoying it. 😉
Trixie was a beauty
I’m 70 years old ! Thank you for the memories of the good olde days ! New subscriber . 👍👍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. And enjoy. 😊
29:45 As a kid I used to fantasize about one day marrying a woman like Alice. She’s supportive, smart and beautiful. The original *Keeper,* baby, she’s the greatest!
TV used to be so awesome!
Could not agree more. 👍
Agreed 👍
Love how they put stuff in front of the door to block it when the door opens outward.
I thought the same!
Audry Meadows was an amazing actress,on so many levels-She was an incredibly glamourous lady who made the working class housewife ,Alice Kramden come to life,and live on to this day.
I think she was the highlight of the show.
@@in2moviesand Ed Norton also
one of these days pow right in the kisser was a great line
Or bang!!ZOOM!!!! On the moon,alice😢
The car Alice called a wreck they took to Fred’s Landing with a bad radiator looks good to me . Probably worth a lot of money in 2024 restored .
Such simple times. How every episode he yells pow right in the kisser and every ending he kisses her and says she is the greatest.
Thank you.
I still be looking at them on T.V.
Awesome....
Great videos

Yes. They were very much on the fly, very low budget, meaning that the comedy had to be really good or they wouldn't pull it off.
They lived on Looooove! Lol
Wow hardly any comments..
Great show..
Ok
Peace 🙏🕊️🙏

Thanks for this! Timestamps would be so helpful! Can't wait to watch the rest!
Thank you for the "timestamps" feedback. Will work on that.
Ralph is so dramatic when he gets hurt.

I never saw any of them
This is gold THANK YOU

I think there are 118 lost episodes.
@@in2movies The sitcom ran from 1955 to 1956, not 58-59.
I've had them for a few years.
@INTERNETVID You are correct! 😃
At 1:08.41 the audience started laughing, wonder what happened off camera? Even Gleason started to laugh.
His fly was down and he zipped it when he turned his back to the camera, go back a few seconds and you see the white of his shirt through his pants.
1:08:34
😯funny AND dark.
Addressing marriage and murder in 1952.
Epic
1:15:17, Damm Ralph looks small next to the guy who plays the cop !
The cop is taller
In 1966 bread was 0.25 cents 🥖 chocolate was 0.10 cents 🍫
When this was filmed bread was 5cents so was a large chocolate bar
@@benjaminau78flores92those were the days and prices
Now you pour it out of a box!

79 cents for eggs! Lol. Now its 5.99&
And you made 40 dollars per week.
$12.00
$5.99?? I wish! They're $12.00 here....🙄
@@Oohmyymiaa
Bidenomics
🤣
Build Back Better.
@LoyalAsst Since when does the President control the price of eggs?
Is 1 of the lost episodes the one where Norton at the end stomps on the floor in apartment and the Kramdens ceiling starts falling apart
3:00:30 $1,000 in 1953 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $11,762.88 today
Was Audrey Meadows a model before the Honeymooners?
Many of us think she could easily have been.
Her eyes...that's what caught my attention first.
I wonder if Ralph still drives a bus
1:45:00, first and only time I've ever heard Ralph call Norton Ed!
How can Alice live like that for all those years
Unbreakable love and understanding.
It’s a movie stupid!
It’s just a funny movie.!
It’s a movie stupid! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
7.99 for eggs by me and 10 for a gallon of milk
You must live on the moon😂
Ralph was skinny back then.
Kurt Russell on Suspense
can you time stamp the episodes please?
Alice deserved a medal for putting up with Ralph all those years. I wonder if Jackie Gleason had that bad temper in real life. 😕
Well he was an actor. An actor named Jackie Gleason, Ralph Kramden was just one of his characters. I don't believe he was a Texas sheriff chasing a bootlegger in a black Trans Am in real life either.😊😊
Edith Bunker held her ground with Archie at times too. But most of the time it was inadvertantly and she didn't even know she was insulting him. Lol.
It’s called acting. Why are you taking this deeper than where it should be?
The honeymooners were about regular people Blue collar absolutely loved this show
Learn the difference between acting and a real person.
Mts rafferty? I thought she played mrs manicotti
She played Mrs Manicotti in the sitcom. This was before that. It was common for the same actors to play different parts.
A lot of the supporting actors played different parts.
Too much screaming it wouldn't play very well in today's 2024 society. This is how it was back then. Be happy folks😊
it would play well as soon as people start boycotting hollywood and sending them the msg. that this is what we want
@@darinp5612 I get. I agree 👍
Today ,with all that hollering,be evicted

My older brother is bi polar is why he screams when he speaks
Looks to me Audrey is playing Alice a bit differently here. Not as deadpan.
Norton is funnier than Gleason!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ONLY IN THE MOVIES SON ONLY IN THE MOVIES
What do you guys think? I think Ralph is much funny fat,than skinny!!!!
Since when was Ralph Skinny ?
I wonder where their furniture is today
I wonder is Ralph still works fo bus company
Alice deserved a better man
Comedy!
Maybe one, the same size🤭.
So did his real wife.....
My mother always said Alice killed him instead of putting up with him.
Maybe she found one on the moon. 🤷♂️
More
Norton had the hots for Alice! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
1:23:17...Is That Art Carney Calling The Game?
These episodes are a lot shorter than the others.
They were skits on his variety show.
@@Tolstoy111 Thanks, I had no idea. Kind of like how the Simpsons came from The Tracey Ullman Show.

Nothing worst than a restrained sense of humour.
There wasn't any sick leave back then?
Probably not.
I wonder if he’s still driving a bus
People you knock this show are completely clueless.
Get a sense of humour,if at all possible.
Why are you even watching.
Now I Know Why They Lost It
Alice is the only intelligent character, and she gets treated badly by Ralph.
Why don't you buy her a refrigerator
He’s cheap
At least some window curtains
Did Ralph really hit people???? Was he really jealous of his own wife!!
It's a TV show!
Did Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates) really kill his mother?
I am a babyboomer
Ed wanted to tap Alice
You really think he didn't tap that? Trixie helped him...... MANY a time, n Ralph was none the wiser..............
@@1956tojo hmmmmmm
What makes you think he did? Lol
Like barney to wilma
Tuning in to watch a husband yell and mistreat his wife is not really funny to me. Although I do like the interaction between Ralph and Norton, to me it is not a relaxing show to watch

It was a comedy. In the end, Ralph always apologized.
@generalee
No wonder you lost the war .
Because perfect people aren’t funny
I can't stand Trixie. Joyce Randolf is a terrible actress
Trixie was only headlined to keep Norton from being a bachelor
This programme is so abusive. Not even funny. I don't like him one bit
He’s not supposed to be a role model. It’s like Archie Bunker.
Then why watch?
