Why was "a happy woman is a woman who grins" cut out? I saw the episode several times on TV and heard that line. I remember how much I laughed at her crazy grin the first time I watched it
From 5:48 - This is the definition of a true marriage: Alice is fed up with what Ralph is doing, so she threatens to leave, and he blows it off. But when the snow starts falling, she sticks by her husband. And to do right by her, Ralph relents and goes back to pay the rent. For all the insults and "to the moon, Alice," the characters love each other deeply, and each is ready to sacrifice for the other.
One definition of "genius" is that you can watch a performance 100 times, and on Time #101, you laugh as hard and long as you did the first time. This defines Jackie Gleason. When he gets to "Oh, I'll tell you what it is!" I'm on the floor - for the 101st time. Thank heaven he was on television - and that these performances got recorded so later generations can appreciate this genius.
Jackie had no direct input in the writing, 'truvianni'. He hed three teams of writers who were responsible for the half-hour episodes: Marvin Marx & Walter Stone [they wrote this one], A.J. Russell & Herb Finn, and Leonard Stern {who recently passed away, at age 88} & Syd Zelinka.
"You know that I know how easy YOU get virus!!!". It wasn't the way the writers wrote it in their script, but how could anyone top that line, 'Matthew'?
When Alice says pins and needles at the end it used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid. Her facial expression was frightening. I would put my head under the cover every time they showed it. Thanks for uploading.
At the end, Jackie was ad-libbing; even though he had a "photographic memory", and could deliver a live performance cold by reading a script just once, he sometimes forgot certain lines. But he was also great at building character and comic momentum, so his repetition of "I'll tell you what it is!" (to camouflage the fact that he was trying to think of an "exit line") was brilliant..."Oh, I'll TELL you what it is!!!".

I always wondered how when the lit candles fell, it didn't cause a fire.

Thank you matthias 1949 for putting up these wonderful classics. Almost makes me feel like a kid again! I love them just as much now as I did then.
