  • I have been a fan of The Honeymooners for decades (I'm just old enough to remember when the "classic 39" ran on prime time), but I hadn't seen this "lost episode" until this summer, when I viewed it on TV with my adopted daughter. Absolutely one of the best of the series. Disappointments and elusive dreams are routine, but the resolutions of the episodes are typically upbeat and hopeful. But here, one aches for the devastated Alice, as she cries softly at the end. Very touching.

  • One of the rare honeymooners where they took a serious turn.

  • 14:10 - I smoke for medicinal purposes. That was a shocker. I never thought that expression was around in 1955. Makes it sound like a reference to smoking marijuana for medicinal purposes.

  • I've always loved The Honeymooners because my father always reminded me of Ralph Kramden. He looked and acted like Jackie Gleason. He had a temper and would scream and shout to make a point but we all knew that when the chips were down, he give us kids the shirt off of his back!

    I've never seen this episode before and it was a heartbreaker. It reminded me of when Ralph took the puppy back to the pound and when Alice went to get him back, Ralph had adopted all the other dogs. Just like Daddy.

  • What a horrifying ending. They should have kept the baby. Who cares about what the mother wanted? She made her choice and needs to respect that.

  • Jackie is lucky that ice didn't land on his feet. I wonder how he would have reacted to that.

  • A classic example of great storytelling. Love The Honeymooners for the rest of my life.

  • This one always brings a tear to my eye.

  • im going to punch that baby to the moon alice
