1980s NYC , I used to watch this when I was a kid with my Mom..waaay past my bedtime...Channel 11- The Odd Couple, Honeymooners and Cheers. Reminder of a simpler time ❤️ love and prayers to all of us during this Pandemic.
The Honeymooners, apartment was in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, New York. I lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn for several years went to Seth Low junior high school and Lafayette High School. I live on 77th Street right next to Bay Parkway, I would walk to the subway on 86th Street and Bay Parkway, I was a big fan of The Honeymooners, even though I had no mother and father I was living with my grandmother it just made me feel as though I had a family. The good old days. I will be 80 years old this coming September oh, and I still love The Honeymooners, they were imitated but never duplicated.
Jackie Gleason grew up with no parents also from 18 yrs his father left when he was a small boy and mother died when he was a teenager! In same area! I read his biography great book!!
Ralph was blustery but Alice was never intimidated, she dished it right back to him. Not a bad husband-- hard worker, faithful, never physically abusive. Bottom line, they LOVED each other. He wasnt addicted to booze or drugs or gambling-- he bowled,belonged to a lodge, had a best buddy. He was always scheming to try & give Alice a better life. Trying to earn or win money
1960s you to watch this with my parents. Usually on Sunday Then the National American athem and the snow on the screen. Still the best. You all are missed💕
The sad part is this generation does not even know it exists especially that it's in black and white there was such a biased attitude with anything that is in black and white if there was one we are today it's the refusal to accept anything of yesterday to be any good anything that is new any idea is accepted regardless if it's good or bad as long as is not of yesterday where the hell do we get that attitude
This Had Always Been My Favorite Episode, Never Forgot, We Looked So Forward To Saturday Nights In The Early 50's When We Got Our First TV 📺 TO Watch The Honeymooners, Family Time, My Brother and I Were Under 10, Awesome Memories.
Just a great great show!!! No sex, no violence and no profanity!!! How can that be???? As a Country we have progressed so much in the way of technology, but have regressed in the way of morals!!!
It's much darker than that, Francis. It was easier to make people laugh in 1955. Some of the older TV shows seem corny, but the audience is rolling in the aisle... people wanted to be happy and laugh and never missed a chance to do so.
The comedy was more simple, stage-play worthy, and had a direct motivational direction. *I somewhat disagree about morality in our country as a whole. There has been vice, malevolence, and bias across all geographical locations and family trees. Even the national forebearers had quirks, leanings, and dark shadows. What we consume is not always what we hold in high value. Lewd comedy has always been a mainstay of the common person. *Some have a clean vocabulary to cover what they fear others to see or philanthropy to hide ill-gotten gains. Romans 3:23-24 King James Version (KJV) "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
@@Damone7653 Have you watched the British comedy steptoe and son...there is one episode where Albert the dad and Harold the son are reading for a play and the polo pony line is used...just like the Ralph/ Ed line about a stable of poloponies...
Yes, not a good time at this moment in life. Feeling a bit blue at 10pm. I let this Classic run through. Have to admit, still makes me hard belly laugh! I never knew Davy Crockett was so fat!!?! Got me again. Ralph's facial expressions are one of a kind. The whole cast and crew of guests as well,Timeless... feeling much Better. I needed a real good laugh. This was just the Medicine for the Blues. Thanks for me stumbling upon this. ❤ "A day without laughter, is a wasted day" Charlie Chaplin.
@@peterklutinoty244 Davy Crockett was born in Limestone, Tennessee just a few miles from where I was raised. He's always been known as Davy Crockett in these parts. And in song, for that matter. That's how history remembers him.
I am 63 years old I grew up in Brooklyn it's watching everyday on WPIX Channel 11 I know I got the DVDs still enjoy every episode I don't think there was ever a bad attitude Alice and the blond was classic the other one I had to have been when Ralph found the money and when the gangsters came to the house to collect the money the classic line hold on wait a minute my wife is taking a bath in the sink
It's a shame that all the money was counterfeit.Ralph made 3 mistakes,1,finding the money,2,spending it 3,telling his boss,Mr.Marshall he quit his job.
In a weird way Alice reminds me a lot of my wife. So endearing, so patient, And I am the schmuck and she is the saint. Been married 52 years so we must have done something right.
23:46. One of the greatest punchlines in television history delivered to perfection by Peter Lazer. Gleason always allowed the supporting cast to have their moment at his expense.
This brings back so many memories. I was watching the Honeymooners when it was becoming possible for ordinary people to get a telephone. Ours was a party-line, but eventually we got to keep the number all our own and kept it for 55 years! It was such a novelty when we got our phone. In order to call our relatives 15 miles away in Connecticut we had to call the long distance operator to place the call. Damn. I'm old!
She was HOT, had a killer pair of dancer's legs. There was one episode where she wore a SHORT mini-skirt, just below the pelvic line, showing at least 90% of her legs. It was the episode where she wanted to take Ralph dancing.
I always liked Ralph when he would make a statement sending hours to the Moon, it was always upset, when he made that statement, still cracks me up today. And today is, May 20th 2023
My favorite is with Alice's mother & Ralph..... when he set's the timer on the clock proving she has a big mouth. Oh' let's not forget when he found that briefcase of cash on the bus. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My late dad worked for GPO, putting up telephone poles and installing phones. He was employed for over 30 years and we only got a phone when he retired, he said there is a telephone box round the corner when we asked why we did'nt have one!
I remember getting in trouble for just putting mayo on both slices of bread. Now nothing is made here but the majority is much better off financially. I'd trade money for a more ethical society though.
Remember party lines? Usually they were 4 party lines but they went up to an 8 person party line. We had a 4 person party line for a short time. Each person has a distinct ring to let them know they had a call.
It can never be like that again. Sometimes, I just want to cry thinking of how wonderful and beautiful our lives WERE. And then all this crap happened. Hence the expression, Man, those were the good old days!
24:12 that subtle double look is genius and lends itself to how Ralph is such a screwup. This show was before my time but I love the show and the chemistry between the actors. Baby you're the greatest!
Wow, having a new phone back then was like discovering bread and butter. I loved watching these old shows like The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, and Abbot and Costello etc....those were classic shows. The one thing that gets me is when Ralph would quote their bills. Electric bills and phone bills were probably under $50 bucks a month back then.
The honeymooners was the best show ever and to this day it is still and always will be the greatest show ever since 1955. I wish that I not only met the cast members in new york city, but also that I could watch the honeymooners every year on new year's day after the new year's eve resolution.
These two lovebirds are really comical. Very popular back in the day. My husband jokes at me sometimes & says: One of these days Alice, pow, right in the kisser. Funny stuff!
After Harvey Junior's remark about Ralph's size and comparing him to Davy Crockett, the remainder of this episode was quite dramatic. Ralph's jealousy got the best of him in this episode. He basically accused Alice of seeing another man when all she was doing was babysitting. He felt understandably bad about how his jealousy made him go crazy. Several episodes end on a dramatic note. And, that's saying something when *THE HONEYMOONERS* is meant to be a "comedy". I'm not sure which episode has the saddest ending, but this one is easily in the top ten.

We had a phone like that when I was little. It was great. It has a metal dial that turned on nice, tight bearings, the handset was hard heavy plastic, and the base was shiny black. I wish I still had it. Much better than these made in China landlines sold today.

I remember as a kid, my great grandmother had one of those OLD wall phones, with ONE rotary dial number. You turned the dial and you got the operator, you give the operator the number, and the operator connected the call for you. This was as recent as 1979. My great grandmother was 'old-school.' She would NEVER do things the way they do them today.
Notice at the end of the episode she tells Ralph, "We have a phone now so you can call me anytime you want", but in the following episodes we never see said "phone" ever again!!
I wish they did another season... 39 episodes was not enough... I believe Jackie thought they could not break new ground... He felt he covered all the particular scenarios... Anyway, I think he might have mentioned later that doing more episodes might have worked... Oh well, the memories from these episodes remains strong... Does anyone know what the 4 main characters went on to do? Of course, Jackie was fantastic in Smokey and the Bandit...
He played a dramatic role in The Hustler with Paul Newman...norton won an oscar in Harry and Tonto...alice s sister earlier was great in The Cat People..
@@dangardiner2011 - Gleason was on the Johnny Carson show and he said it was funny that comedians made great dramatic actors, but dramatic actors didn't make good comedians. That is so true. A good example of this is the late Robin Williams.
I grew up in a tenement, “a dump,” on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1950s and identified with the Honeymooners. My father drove a bus for the New York City Transit Authority. No Donna Reade, Father Knows Best, or Leave it to Beaver with the beautiful homes, “perfect “ families, etc. Real working class families and their daily problems.
In the 60s the phone numbers were still read with letters representing zones. Bensonhurst is a section in Brooklyn. Ralph Kramden's phone number was read as "Bensonhurst zero 7740" for example. Benson hurst as BE was dialed as "23". Our phone number started with MH For the Murray Hill zone which was Mill Basin in Brooklyn. Jimmy Kimmel is a famous past resident of Mill Basin, Brooklyn. 😊

$176.30 for calls? I had a house phone in the 90s, for $20.00/mo. I had it so no out of town calls could go out. Norton, does all his grocery shopping down stairs at the Kramden's, he should shut up. 🤣
The incomparable TV legend Frank Marth as Harvey Sr. His comedic talents were displayed much better in shows like Hogens Heroes, eg, but he was a great actor when he worked for Gleason too.

Thanks for sharing your touching memories
Jackie Gleason grew up with no parents also from 18 yrs his father left when he was a small boy and mother died when he was a teenager! In same area! I read his biography great book!!
I went
Alice's "It's for you, you, you." retort cracks me up every time.
Me, too. Repeating the old song: "You, You, You."
@@jeangruen833 The Ames Brothers recorded the song, but Alice was throwing Ralph's "you you you" back at him.
I could watch the Honeymooners non stop over and over and love it more each time! Perfect characters all 4 of them!
Agreed 👍
Me too but I would hate him for my husband.
Have all 39 episodes on DVD & do watch them over & over
Ralph was blustery but Alice was never intimidated, she dished it right back to him. Not a bad husband-- hard worker, faithful, never physically abusive. Bottom line, they LOVED each other.

I know right our classic tv shows we watched as kids are the best then todays crap they never get old and they always keep us entertained and laughing
Nothing can beat the Honeymooners
Ralph "Then ill start losing weight and you know what ill look like?"
Alice " Yeah...a human being."
Classic 😂
I was just going to comment on that line .That is absolutely hilarious
She had a few great one-liners in her repertoire.
1960s you to watch this with my parents. Usually on Sunday
Then the National American athem and the snow on the screen. Still the best. You all are missed💕
I had such a crush on Alice back in the day.
Used to. Ur cute
Best sitcom ever
After all the many years this show is still the “Greatest”!
And away we go

Technology is only as bad as the person using it. Morals are for the well fed.
Good example of abusive behavior.
Honeymooners was, is and always will be the best show!

She felt genuinely hurt at Ralph's lack of trust there.
@@erikbunty2016But who was being secretive about getting the phone??? EXACTLY!!!! No one looks at their own actions....
I JUST LOVE THE HONEYMOONERS ❤️
Same here!
"I never knew Davey Crockett was so fat." That line still cracks me up for over 65 years. Ha ha. A masterpiece the Honeymooners never to be repeated!
Davy, not Davey.
Me too, cracks me up every single time....lol

Davy crockett or Daniel Boone
Their makeup scenes are just as classically wonderful as thier infamous fights! 💕
No cursing, no hipster/rap crap, no constant sexual innuendos every line, just good clean comedy. The writers were so much better back then...
The people were better.
How could you curse, have rap, sexual innuendos or anything unclean with the hays codes
No contest
@@stuartmenziesfarrant People were better if you don't include the KKK, blacks on the back of the busses, "Whites only" water fountains and the Mafia.
Well for one rap didn't exist back then, genius
This show is 100xxx better than alotta comedies the last 65yrs or so
One of the rare occasions when Alice tried to hide something from Ralph rather than the other way round
Norton shoots the cuffs before making the call, driving Ralph nuts. Hilarious.
I am 63 years old I grew up in Brooklyn it's watching everyday on WPIX Channel 11 I know I got the DVDs still enjoy every episode I don't think there was ever a bad attitude Alice and the blond was classic the other one I had to have been when Ralph found the money and when the gangsters came to the house to collect the money the classic line hold on wait a minute my wife is taking a bath in the sink

That opening kettle drum is so iconic.
Ralphs so funny when he gets jealous..a reality check for sure 💯
In a weird way Alice reminds me a lot of my wife. So endearing, so patient, And I am the schmuck and she is the saint. Been married 52 years so we must have done something right.
Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were genius
Got to love the classics..
Nothing on tv even compares to the Honeymooners!!!
I know I'm 41 and been watching this show for years and still get entertained from this show todays has none of these creative actors anymore
23:46. One of the greatest punchlines in television history delivered to perfection by Peter Lazer. Gleason always allowed the supporting cast to have their moment at his expense.
I did the same thing as Alice when I got my first cell phone. "Guess where I'm calling from" 😅😄
One of my favorite shows
I watch it just about every night before bed. Love old black and white tv shows. One of my fav Honeymooners episodes is The Maid. So funny.
I can watch over and over 100x again
@@jerrybaxter4045 me too
I like Leave it to Beaver as well, and Gunsmoke. I Love Lucy, I enjoyed it but not anywhere near The Honeymooners
😂😂
This is about the 7th time I've watched this.. one of my favorites.. Ralph be going off😂😂😂
Commenting in 2023 and I believe Joyce Randolph (Trixie)
is still with us at the great age of 98.
She is!!!
Born 1924, she'll be 99 this year.
I’m sad to say that she’s no longer with us. She passed away last week. May she rest rest in peace alongside the rest of the cast.

And I'm watching this 'phone' episode on my phone, but I certainly recall the dialing black phones growing up in 60s, 70s
alice was soooo damn cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sure was 😍 😘 💘!!!
Jackie thought the same... she had to dress down in order to get the part.
She was HOT, had a killer pair of dancer's legs. There was one episode where she wore a SHORT mini-skirt, just below the pelvic line, showing at least 90% of her legs. It was the episode where she wanted to take Ralph dancing.
@@billyrichards8834 The episode was "The man from space" Alice dresses like a little girl for the Raccoon Lodge costume party. (1955)
That's right. Thanks for the update.
I always liked Ralph when he would make a statement sending hours to the Moon, it was always upset, when he made that statement, still cracks me up today. And today is, May 20th 2023
Poor Ralph! Always bumbling. But what an endearing guy ❤️
Come on HARV!!!! (child walks out) What is that? LOL!!
My favorite is with Alice's mother & Ralph..... when he set's the timer on the clock proving she has a big mouth. Oh' let's not forget when he found that briefcase of cash on the bus. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In reference to the brief case, I remember Alice’s mother asking Ralph, “What’s that?” “Your lunch box?” 😂
Always had to watch the Honey mooners before my bedtime had to get that last laugh before bed 😂
My late dad worked for GPO, putting up telephone poles and installing phones. He was employed for over 30 years and we only got a phone when he retired, he said there is a telephone box round the corner when we asked why we did'nt have one!
That is rough.

That was the excitement I got getting my first cell phone in 1999.
I didn't get my first Cell phone until 2011
Bang. Zoom your. Going. To. The. Moon. Was. The. Best line. Ever😂😂
I always loved this show. Ralph and Alice remind me of Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Well The Flintstones were a rip off of the The Honeymooners and that's why the great one always disposed that show rightfully so.
Was is and always be the best show…Let’s not get carried away

Too bad TV doesn't do this kind of comedy anymore - the funny kind.
Come on out, HARV!!
Lol
What is that? LOL!!!
I've never known the studio audience to be so quiet! No usual cheering for each character's first entrance.
It's true,so many sitcoms have the canned laughter too loud.

What about the dogs he brought home?
Where did the dogs go?

Greatest show of ALL TIME !!!

This show has class.
The things we take for granted 😂
I grew up in a tenement, “a dump,” on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1950s and identified with the Honeymooners. My father drove a bus for the New York City Transit Authority. No Donna Reade, Father Knows Best, or Leave it to Beaver with the beautiful homes, “perfect “ families, etc. Real working class families and their daily problems.
And your comènt explains the kind of person you really are
I too remember watching these episodes with my Dad when I was a kid! How I miss those marvelous years in Brooklyn!😢
WE NEVER MISSED 1 EPISODE, AMOS N ANDY EITHER, THERE WERE ONLY 3 STATIONS ANYWAY, 4,5,7 IN THOSE DAYS.
I try to be happy remembering the past. It was so precious. I know that now.
Ralph walks through the door and he no longer has the candy or the flowers for Alice. ..
Right! I didn't even notice that.
And isnt alice wearing a different dress when she goes To The Movies...have to watch it AGAIN
In the most loving--and I mean loving--memory of Joyce Randolph: 1924-2024.
In the 60s the phone numbers were still read with letters representing zones. Bensonhurst is a section in Brooklyn. Ralph Kramden's phone number was read as "Bensonhurst zero 7740" for example. Benson hurst as BE was dialed as "23". Our phone number started with MH For the Murray Hill zone which was Mill Basin in Brooklyn. Jimmy Kimmel is a famous past resident of Mill Basin, Brooklyn. 😊
Ralph is so loud 🤪
Alice gets a telephone 😁

Ya don’t say 🤓😆✌️
$176.30 for calls? I had a house phone in the 90s, for $20.00/mo. I had it so no out of town calls could go out.
Norton, does all his grocery shopping down stairs at the Kramden's, he should shut up. 🤣
Yup, it was called local calls only, no toll calls were permitted.
The incomparable TV legend Frank Marth as Harvey Sr. His comedic talents were displayed much better in shows like Hogens Heroes, eg, but he was a great actor when he worked for Gleason too.
Gee now what would Ralph think of the way phones are used today? ha ha

The best !!!
Only goes to show that a comedy show doesn't have to be dirty with sex and bad language to be hilariously funny.
Imagine if Alice bought a new Iphone with todays phone plan...Her and Ralph would be goin to da moon
Ralph would be working several jobs by now
Love this show all time great… always had big crush on Alice 👠
