You won't be disappointed!

How sad is this?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Without question, the all-time "Rosetta Stone" of comedy and timing, television or otherwise. Every student of acting should immerse him or herself in "The Honeymooners" as should anyone interested in public speaking or performing in any way.Add to that anyone interested in being interesting. It is the essential master class in timing; on learning to hold a pause and on how to be genuinely funny. It has no equal.

When people ask me what the worst movie or TV show ever made is, I usually tell them that I prefer to discuss the ones that everybody else seems to love that I can't stand.Anybody can beat up on "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "My Mother the Car'. The target is too easy. The people that produced that stuff knew in advance it wasn't exactly "Richard III". I mean, do you really think the guys behind "Billy, Don't Be A Hero" thought that they had composed a masterpiece? With that in mind, there are two responses I come up with. Firstly, I think "The Godfather" is the most overrated film of all time, and "The Honeymooners" is its TV cousin.You ought to see the reactions I get, as if I've committed some act of blasphemy. The series is overplayed and the laughs are forced, at times even dangerous. "Bang..."Zoom". ??? I'm sorry, but did this man just threaten to physically strike his wife? Yeah, uproarious. I can just picture Tom Bosley saying that to Mrs. C.-- right in front of Richie, Joanie and The Fonz-on an episode of "Happy Days". Lastly, give a good listen to its abominable opening theme. It sounds as if we're being prepared to watch a big-time MGM musical. But we aren't . For a sitcom, the music is tumescent, smug, and ultimately rather forgettable. I defy anyone to hum it.

This is the series which established Gleason as the Greatest. It made Art Carney the best co-star. Audrey Meadows & Joyce Randolph were each good though Randolph got her job through connections to Gleason.Many of the best moments of this show were the chemistry between Meadows & Gleason. Somehow, each brings out the best in the other. Every member of the cast except Gleason got an Emmy. TV Academy, if your listening, it is years too late but an Emmy for Gleason for this show would make for good awards ceremony viewing. It is very easy to come up with great moments Gleason did on this series.Ralph Kramden, the bus driver, is always looking & scheming to get ahead & be somebody. Ed Norton, the sewer worker, is always a lame brained but willing helper. Alice Kramden is always struggling to understand Ralph & sometimes to try & fix his latest scheme which backfired again. Trixie Norton is Alice's true friend who always tries to console Alice, especially when Ed is involved in Ralph's latest problem.When a viewer gets into this series enough, the cast not only delivers great comedy. but the comedy has a heart as well. With all the sketches that were done of this in the early 50's & the skits & special done by Gleason on his Saturday night TV show for CBS, it seemed like this show ran longer than it did.These Dumont classic shows are the ones which are the classic's though the pilot from the early 50's with Pert Kelton instead of Audrey is interesting too. This show just makes you want to say Ralphie Boy!!!

Dear Honeymooners fans: I am a student of the Classic 39, and I have researched the names of the actors and actresses who played in all episodes, but I cannot find the name of the actress who played Rita Wedemeyer, Bert's lovely and vivacious wife. Frank Behrens played Bert, and he is the only one listed on IMDb's episode-by-episode breakdown of the Classic 39 for that particular episode, which is called Ralph and the Blonde.I am guessing that the actress who played Rita was about 25 at the time that episode was filmed in 1955, which would make her about 75 today.Can anybody find out? Thanks.
