It is so sad they cannot make sitcoms like this today. The problem with today's sitcoms is they try too hard to be funny. A good sitcom will build up to a funny moment. I think the last really good sitcom was Three's Company but even that show wasn't as good as the classics of the 50's and 60's.
Prime-time sitcoms are now designed for Feminists. The demographic has completely changed in the last 20-25 years. The dominant male is long gone on this medium.
@ensconse I don't think it matters what demographic the comedy is aimed at. The sitcoms of today, simply, are not funny. Today's sitcoms have replaced humor with crassness. The 50's contained, what I consider, the best sitcom of all time - I Love Lucy. This show had a female lead, so I don't think the makeup of the characters is that important.
This scene was from the episode entitled "Peacemaker" filmed and broadcast on 3-5-55. It's one of the so-called Lost episodes, but to me every bit as classic as any Classic 39.
best comedy of all time.. you cant tell me norton and ralph arent the best.. ill debate it all day. best show and all 39 of them are funny as hell to this day

I wish this show could have lasted. Not many episodes were made though. It was a short running series.

Funny "lost episode". (excerpt of "Peacemaker", one of the sketches which compares well to several from the filmed series, 1955-56).
Gleason shows a touch of Moe Howard, here and there.
Anyone out there in Television Land know if the *1957* version of "Manager of a Baseball Team" was ver issud commercially?
Thanks.

Did anybody notice how short the bed was? Also, Norton's mannerisms drive Ralph crazy, as usual. LOL

the bed isn't short. The video is just horribly squished.

To alleviate the squished view, add &fmt=18 to the URL of the video.
