This is the opening title that was shown from January 1956 through the end of the half-hour filmed series that September; the original filmed opening [October-December '55] showed the interior and exterior of "Kramden's bus" on a busy street, with a Buick pulling next to it towards the end. Jack Lescoulie, Gleason's announcer {and Buick's spokesman on the series}, is heard here- in the syndicated version, CBS announcer Gaylord Avery replaced him on the soundtrack.

It all started to go downhill in the 1990's.

@jmjfanss Lucy and Desi, Danny Thomas, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Phil Silvers, Donna Reed, would all be rolling in their graves at what tv has become.

@blakka91 three were a lot of copy cats to this show....the flintstones was the biggest.

Love the inclusion of the little Buick ad at the end. "And away we go!"

The old shows are the best.

The Honeymooners are proof of that.
