As a very young boy, I knew I was watching an 'adult humor' show on night time tv w/ my parents. it was fantastic because we all laughed together. it was incredibly memorable, with an amazingly talented crew backing up the magnificent Jackie Gleason. I felt like I could never get enough of watching Jackie, ever.
BABY...THE HONEYMOONERS ARE THE GREATEST!!!..every sitcom before or after pales in comparison...Radio gave us the great Jack Benny...TV was Gleason...anyone born in the 50's grew up with the original 39 episodes...I've seen each one at least a dozen times and I keep on watching...Gleason is dead...LONG LIVE GLEASON (and cast)!!!!
Thank you so very much for a charming little piece on the Great One and the Honeymooners. And thank you for not covering over the great voice of Jackie Gleason with cheesy music. Good work! Only one suggestion; would you please add the "blabbermouth" rant? It was pure Jackie at his best.
at around 3:03 that stove is one like we have in our shop--they are too snall too cook on well and standard size cookis sheets son't work in them also we dot a dishwasher that size from my grandma and a washer with dryer over appliance from my grandma-i never used the dryer much( if at all) cus we had a sears new large one-i powed my mom-unfortunately it came to that :-/
Right. That was truly one of the marvels of the show. I guess just stringing together a bunch of Gleason's entrances, out of the comtext of the show, made the laughter sound forced.
This was excellently put together . This show is timeless and genuinley funny without ever going blue. I would have liked to see "She's a blabber-mouth, a blabbermouth!" - "Boomph" & "Whoa it certainly looks like rain!" in this clip,
Jackie Gleason was the greatest entertainer of all-time (with all due respect to Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball). The Honeymooners is not only a classic comedy show but one of the top 5 greatest TV shows of all-time. Our world misses your incomparable comedic genius Jackie!
At 2:09 Jackie threw in an ad-lib that got Art Carney laughing, and they just worked it and and went on. Jackie didn't like to rehearse because it took away from the spontaneity and likewise didn't like to do re-takes when someone cracked up.
I watched The Honeymooners as a kid, and The Jackie Gleason Show ("live, from Miami Beach!") in my teens. Jackie was truly The Great One. How I miss him and all the zany characters he created! May God bless and rest his soul.
MOre talent in their little fingers than most 'comics' today in their entire bodies. Of course, the quality of the writing was infinitely better then as well.
R.I.P. Jackie and Art. And Audrey and Joyce as well!!
Jackie Gleason was simply BORN to entertain! What a wonderful actor and comedian! Jackie has been gone for 23 years now, and it is still sad to think that he is gone. I bet somewhere in the great beyong ol' Jackie is making people laugh right now! How SWEEEET IT IS!!!! RIP Great One!
