Growing up in the NY/NJ area during the 1980's, one of the best hours on TV were 11pm to Midnight on channel 11 WPIX. It was The Odd Couple followed by The Honeymooners and every weekday night, during the summers, I would watch them on a 13'inch b/w TV my older brother gave me. Year after year, episode after episode, I saw them all, plenty of times. This episode of The Honeymooners was among the best of the original 39. I still remember some of my favorite lines, "Hey, Ralph, he's even bigger than your friend Shirley", "A pox on you and all your ancestors" and of course, the unforgettable "Get a load of fatso over there" Honeymooners is a classic show that I never tire of watching.
I can confirm this also.. from bx, NY. I might add ours was 13" b/w on top of color RCA wood floor model, then another 20" panasonic that neither worked. Also a clothes hangar for an antenna, and plyers to change the channel..lol. Good times for sure.
@@mikeguaraldo Same here. It was extra-special that they were both NYC-based shows from different eras. Ralph and Ed spoke like my elder family who grew up in Brooklyn

I had just moved to N.Y.C. from U.K. to be with my girlfriend, 1983, staying in her Auntie's house out on the island, watched this most nights in our small room on a teeny telly and loads of Star Trek repeats if I recall correctly. Classic television. It's 11pm. Do You Know Where Your Children Are?, I'll never forget that, seemed so strange.
As a teenager growing up in East Flatbush Brooklyn in the early 70s. The summer routine was the 10 o’clock news then the Honeymooners followed by the Burns &Allen show. Life was simple due to less choices. But, the quality of what was available goes untouched.

I used to live in Bensonhurst Brooklyn Kama from 1956 through 1965 oh, then moved out to Amityville Long Island. Today is April 17th 2022. The Honeymooners one of the greatest TV comedies ever on television.
I've seen all these episodes literally dozens of times each......and they never get old (and they never seem dated)......Jackie Gleason was pure comedic genius.
@@JohnSmith-mx8wp Yeah, remind me again, how old they are, in September, this year, 2021, I just became 66, and I still say the year, 1960 is the start of "modern times".
Yes!!! That line always freaked me out and stayed with me for over 36 years from when I first watched the Honeymooners.. like he covertly always wanted to see Ralph get his ass kicked or at least humiliated because Ralph would always pick on him.
Probably the best sidekick of all time in sitcoms. Imagine they did most of these shows in a single take because film was so expensive. In several episodes you can see them laughing with thier backs turned. Much more talent then today's so called greats.
Grew up on the Lower East Side.. I was a kid in the 80s and stayed up late to watch the Odd Couple, The Honeymooners and Cheers . Then when I was older, my best friend and I would stay up all night on the phone together and watch the Honeymooners marathon on NYE. I was heartbroken when I moved out of NY and could no longer see the honeymooners every New Years.. our tradition ended! 🥲 Thank you , TH-cam ❤️❤️ finding these episodes is like a warm hug on a cold winter day!
Like others, been watching this show since I was a little kid in the early 60s. Never get tired of it. The amazing thing was finding out they only filmed one season, it seemed like many. Ed and Ralph, one of the great comedy teams ever.
This was my dad's fav tv show! Today is the anniversary of his passing, so I usually watch Honeymooners and his favorite movies and its like hes right there with me
My condolences to you Steve. My Dad passed over 44 years ago, and I still have fond memories of he and I watching this on WPIX Channel 11 back in the mid 1970s.
The best comedy show along with Jack Benny...BUT the best show ever in tv was The Twilight Zone...I just turned 75 on 01 02 24 and have seen my share of shoes...
Man this is excellent! The Harvey dude is a classic example of the Ganster dudes back in the 40's . I BELIEVE he played a ganster in a movie! He looks mean all the time even when he is being nice! Perfect dude to play Harvey!!!
Every year on New Year's Eve starting at 11pm on WPIX-11 here in New York starts the annual Honeymooners Marathon!!!! Every year me and my family(well what's left of my family that is) always watch it. Never ever miss it even though they never seem to show all 39 Episodes!!
The Great One was interviewed in 1984 by Morley Safer. The Great One was asked why The Honeymooners were so successful in reruns, so many years later? The Great One says, “I can come up with 20 academic answers, but I will give you one…because it’s funny” F’n LEGEND!
You're right. Laurel and Hardy were great, too, The Three Stooges, and Abbott and Costello could be entertaining, but none of them were as great as Jackie and Art.
More like no rehearsal. Jackie would just glance at the script and go live: "Every man for himself!" Audrey Meadows was always scared stiff, but you'd never know it.
From what I've read and seen, even though it was live-to-air, Gleason wanted the cast to not worry if they occasionally missed a cue or blew a line. He said real-life conversations are never word-perfect or neatly synchronized, so they shouldn't aim for perfection. To that end, he preferred for the cast to be under rehearsed rather than over rehearsed so that there was always room for spontaneity.
Jackie Gleason: "The Honeymooners lasted as long as it did, because it was funny." How true! He ended the series after the famous 37 because he felt that the material was getting thin, they were running out of ideas, and he didn't want to cheapen it. Absollute classics!
The actor who played "Harvey" was George Mathews, a year after George appeared in this episode, he was a supporting cast member of the 1956 film "The Last Wagon" Directed by Delmer Daves. George played Sheriff "Bull" Harper who tracked down Comanche Todd (Richard Widmark), and took him prisoner and also co-starring a very young Nick Adams. The film was shot on location in Sedona, AZ near the mouth of Oak Creek Canyon, George played his role, much as he did in this Honeymooners episode, "tough guy". If you are into Western films, I highly recommend this, with beautiful high Desert scenery and shot in Deluxe Color and CinemaScope............
TY for posting that! Harvey always intrigued me and I loved his character here. Just found The Last Wagon, free on YT and watched "Harvey- Bull Harper" do his thing. Same Brooklyn accent, funny how in the Old West a Brooklyn accent existed...
@@bluesky6449 I am very pleased that you enjoyed the "Last Wagon", as they say, " they don`t make movies like that anymore"! I feel that George was a very underrated actor, he always put in a no-nonsense performance whenever he appeared. By the by, I use to live in Arizona, once you get a short distance from the cities, Tucson, Green Valley and Apache Junction etc. the landscape is as you see it in the film, beautiful country and ultra dry and many Indian reservations dotted around. thank you bluesky for your comment.........
@@giraffesareselfish9563 Hello Cat! I remember that episode too, with close to 500 GUNSMOKE episodes to recall, it is not easy. Thanks Cat for your comment.......
@@reyshielharding3987 I agree, they do tend to run together. It's difficult to find Gunsmoke episodes. Paramount+ has a few seasons, 7 I think, but they are all Chester episodes, which are good, but not enough.
Back in those days Alot of the actors were paid under the table to avoid taxes ' So they wrote that part intentioly and included in the scene to get by with it.
Having a photographic memory and perfect concentration was just 2 of Jackie Gleason's wonderful gifts .He also disliked rehearsing any thing so every thing you see is completely original and spontaneous
@@louisd95714 Its common knowledge he NEVER rehearsed. I've seen several interviews where he said as much. He said when you rehearse alot the act gets stale. He was a genius. And in the movie the hustler he made his own pool shots.
70s & 80s I watched the Honeymooners with my dad & every show there was during that time.Its 2022 & still can't get enough of the Honeymooners.I watched it with my friends even my girlfriend when I was a kid.Honeymooners will go beyond 2022 with whomever loves it.
With any kind of justice the people who watched it growing up in the 70s, like me, will introduce it to their children, who will then introduce it to their children.......
I'm amazed by the quality of this show, especially when i realize it was realised on 50's. We have a remake of this comedy from 1998 in Poland and it has a legendary status here, Polish actors bring it on even higher quality. What is more: the scenario is still up to date after 50 years.
Makes me long for those warm summer evenings sitting in the den with my dad watching the Honeymooners while my mom would sit near by reading a book, but still laughing at the funniest parts. I miss my parents and those days

Saw all these episodes in living "black and white" every Saturday night while dad shined our shoes and sister in curlers after our baths to prepare us for Sunday morning church. Loved them then and more now. Seen them so many times I can say their lines along with them.
He says “ let me show you the results of a misspent youth “ is a reference it a mark twain quote. A “ proficiency in pool is a sine of a misspent youth “
First time I saw this the ending was unsuspecting and hilarious! I bought the box set for my hometheatre, library. Watched this rerun as a child with many family members now sadly gone, relieving those times through these classics, thanks for the upload. Old black and white classics from the golden age of entertainment, simply the best!
Did you know I have a video on this on my channel about there being a Mandela / quantum effect in it? The line was " I'll twist him into a pretzel" not bend. That's why Norton says " I'm not the one who said I'll twist you into a pretzel he did' My Sister and I are huge fans and we knew it was "twist" See, first he says "twist" into bookends and then he used to say "twist" him into a Pretzel. That's what happens when Scientists at CERN and D Wave mess with the quantum filed.
Jackie Gleason and art Carney were a great team both had. a true talent for comedy and true icons.a true classic is when you keep watching and never get sick of them. May they rip.
I grew up watching both the Odd couple and the Honeymooners on WPIX in the 1970’s. I had to buy the box set when I moved out of NYC but it wasn’t the same, I now watch them both on classic channel called “MeTV” in California and it’s like being back in the Bronx with my brother and cousin. I never tire of Ralph and Norton, I read their lines as they perform their roles, simply classic.
This is one of my favorite episodes. Very special to me. One of my best friends dad is in this episode. He played George. We watched this together when I was at my buddy's house. We were both students at the High school of Performing Arts in NY at the time. It was really inspiring to see what a great actor could do.
@@beani24329 lololololol! Not at all. He was a great actor. He did a good deal of Broadway. If you look him up on IMDB, you'll see him on "The Twilight Zone" as a NASA engineer! Great actor, great guy!
So many great shows then besides the iconic Honeymooners: The Odd Couple, I Love Lucy, Barney Miller, All In The Family, Sanford &Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons, The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Amos & Andy Show, M.A.S.H, The Andy Griffith Show, and many more.👏👏👏👏👏👏💯👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣😂😅♥️
The first couple of minutes are perfect, Norton snatches the coin, he could have messed that up, who breaks was great, Norton scratches and they just keep going etc. Perfect.
This comedy is classic. It stands up extremely well even today which is about 70 years since these episodes were made. Jackie Gleason was fabulous and Art Carney was fabulous how he played the 'idiot'. Comedy gold!

So true
Factssss
This Is One Of The Best Comedies Of All Time Period!!!

Agree
This one and the TV one
I love Ralph's face when George says his friend is even bigger than him.
Had the distinct pleasure and honor of meeting Mr. Gleason himself back in 1986, just before he passed…a great man! He really was The Great One 🤩
Great! My father had the exact same accent. And sort of looked like him...he sure drank like Jackie.
Gleason & Carney....comic geniuses; great actors. Classic and vintage golden comedy.

Nothing beats the Honeymooners. To not hear the theme song is a crime. And the Jackie Gleason Orchestra is wonderful music as well.
All in the family is the only better sitcom!
Yes, I was looking forward to that. I missed it.
One of the few episodes where Ralph and Norton's scheme actually worked.
Not exactly but it worked 🤣
I'm amazed by the quality of this show, especially when i realize it was realised on 50's. We have a remake of this comedy from 1998 in Poland and it has a legendary status here, Polish actors bring it on even higher quality. What is more: the scenario is still up to date after 50 years.
Makes me long for those warm summer evenings sitting in the den with my dad watching the Honeymooners while my mom would sit near by reading a book, but still laughing at the funniest parts. I miss my parents and those days
Love this episode it really epitomizes the relationship between Ralph and Ed.

Every New Years Day Is The Honeymooners day i can't believe there is still 1 actress still alive from this show
Harvey is a lovely name
The best Honeymooners episode ever!! 😂😂😂
Naahhh.how bout the episode with the clock and his mother-in-law.
My favorite episode is "Unconventional Behavior" when Ralph, Norton, Alice and Trixie are going to Minnesota for the Racoons Lodge Convention meeting Ralph & Norton end up getting on the wrong train and eventually end up handcuffed to each other!😄😄
@@NYRangers520 Yes that a funny one too. Norton: hey Ralph do you mind if I smoke? Ralph I don’t care if you burn. Lol
Nah....maybe third....best was the 99 million dollar show....2nd was when he found the money!
The pants pulled up to the armpits are just as funny.
What a great show!!
One season of LAUGHS!!
Thanks for watching.

" toss a kern" 🤣
Probably one of the greatest shows of all time, it may be dated, but it's comedy gold..!!
The Honeymooners IS Not Dated
The Honeymooners IS TIMELESS
Saw all these episodes in living "black and white" every Saturday night while dad shined our shoes and sister in curlers after our baths to prepare us for Sunday morning church. Loved them then and more now. Seen them so many times I can say their lines along with them.
the curlers...and the hair net over them!! oh yeah...!!
Classic wholesome comedy in about 25 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thumbs up Golden Age Cinema.
The audience applaud as each cast member appears....in the early episodes, Carney was the 1st to get applause when he appeared...😄
Same thing with Kramer on Seinfeld.
"But i Was Too Clever FOR Her"...Entire Scene is Hilariously Brilliant...R.I.P Art...You Knocked This Role Out of The Park
I had a 13" Sylvania that needed pliers to change the channel...how I miss those simpler times!
I miss those times, but Iove my big color TV
And a coat hanger for a antenna.
For those who might not know, Gleason was a superb pool player.
He really was! And he started as a boy in the 1920s.
He says “ let me show you the results of a misspent youth “ is a reference it a mark twain quote.
A “ proficiency in pool is a sine of a misspent youth “
I hear yes he was good in movie hustler movie
Jackie Gleason was super great actor yes Norton was great too both so funny
He played Minnesota Fats in The Hustler with Paul Newman.
One of the greatest shows ever
The simplicity of comic genius is a thing to behold. Golden indeed. Thank you❤
First time I saw this the ending was unsuspecting and hilarious!
I bought the box set for my hometheatre, library.
Watched this rerun as a child with many family members now sadly gone, relieving those times through these classics, thanks for the upload.
Old black and white classics from the golden age of entertainment, simply the best!
Did you know I have a video on this on my channel about there being a Mandela / quantum effect in it? The line was " I'll twist him into a pretzel" not bend. That's why Norton says " I'm not the one who said I'll twist you into a pretzel he did' My Sister and I are huge fans and we knew it was "twist" See, first he says "twist" into bookends and then he used to say "twist" him into a Pretzel. That's what happens when Scientists at CERN and D Wave mess with the quantum filed.
@@QuantumEffectResidue Um, er, yeah right, I was just about to post the same thing.
One of the funniest episode ever. Harvy.
Jackie Gleason and art Carney were a great team both had. a true talent for comedy and true icons.a true classic is when you keep watching and never get sick of them. May they rip.
I grew up watching both the Odd couple and the Honeymooners on WPIX in the 1970’s. I had to buy the box set when I moved out of NYC but it wasn’t the same, I now watch them both on classic channel called “MeTV” in California and it’s like being back in the Bronx with my brother and cousin. I never tire of Ralph and Norton, I read their lines as they perform their roles, simply classic.
Back in the days when people didn’t lock their doors, when your best friend was your neighbor, and he would just walk right in.
Something missing from these episodes...can't quite put my finger on it...hmmmm
Classic! Gleason & Carney might be My All-time favorite comedy Duo!
This is one of my favorite episodes. Very special to me. One of my best friends dad is in this episode. He played George. We watched this together when I was at my buddy's house. We were both students at the High school of Performing Arts in NY at the time. It was really inspiring to see what a great actor could do.
Did he really talk like that in real life?
@@beani24329 lololololol! Not at all. He was a great actor. He did a good deal of Broadway. If you look him up on IMDB, you'll see him on "The Twilight Zone" as a NASA engineer!
Great actor, great guy!
@@brentcarterandfriends What's his real name?
@@lydialilli4351 Leslie Barrett
@@brentcarterandfriends Yeah, I remember him. I didn't like the way Ralph put him down at the beginning. He acted the asshole here.
So many great shows then besides the iconic Honeymooners: The Odd Couple, I Love Lucy, Barney Miller, All In The Family, Sanford &Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons, The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Amos & Andy Show, M.A.S.H, The Andy Griffith Show, and many more.👏👏👏👏👏👏💯👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣😂😅♥️
What a classic man my friend Harvey
Pure Comedy. top shelf !!!
The first couple of minutes are perfect, Norton snatches the coin, he could have messed that up, who breaks was great, Norton scratches and they just keep going etc. Perfect.
It's a "cern"....lol
Heads I win tails you lose. That was a phrase used by many comedians.
Ralph~~ "Why would he say get a load of fatso"?
Ed~~"I don't know. I guess the phrase fits". 🤣 .
Thank you for this!! One of my fave episodes 😆
I love when Harvey said “so you’ll twist me and him into bookends” he’s pointing at the wrong person for both 🤣
As dumb as he looks.
@@missayawk 😂😭💀
And he pointed to the wrong hand Ralph punched the guy with dude is just a numb 💀
@@danobelelement7828 he was a janitor on the set just filling in for the real actor who was home sick in bed with a cold.
@@Sethmotley Great trivia!
This comedy is classic. It stands up extremely well even today which is about 70 years since these episodes were made. Jackie Gleason was fabulous and Art Carney was fabulous how he played the 'idiot'. Comedy gold!
This is one of the best episodes of the honeymooners. I used to watch it every night 🌙 when they played 2 episodes a night.
