Classic comedy episodes from a simpler time in history. Great episodes to watch for a rainy afternoon. Feel good comedy, and good family values. Just gotta love these episodes
There are not too many fondly remembered classic television sitcoms that lasted only one season, and still be as much-loved and enjoyed more than a half-century later. Without a doubt, "The Honeymooners" stands haeds-and-shoulders above all the rest. Originally broadcast during the 1950s on the CBS network, in ran for just one season, lasting for a total of 39 episodes. To give the program its very unique New York feel and atmosphere, it was filmed before live audiences at the CBS studios in New York City. Jackie Gleason is perfectly cast as bus driver Ralph Kramden whose attitudes and fits of shouts are what make this timeless character so enjoyable. Art Carney is brilliant as sewer worker Ed Norton, the distinctive sidekick and "best friend" of Ralph. Audrey Meadows was the right choice for Ralph's wife Alice, who showed that she was never intimidated by him. Joyce Randolph rounded out the cast as Ed's wife Trixie. Now, all 39 hilarious, classic episodes are available in a DVD box set, with the sound and picture clarity at its most vivid and most vibrant. Each episode in presented in its entirety and in the original broadcast order. There is also a special retrospective show that takes a look at this sitcom and features interviews with the cast members. After all these years, "The Honeymooners" is still a very funny program; one of the 10 best sitcoms in television history.
The Honeymooners.......what can I say? It is one of the best, if not THE best, classic comedy sitcoms ever produced. Hilarious comedy, non-vulgar, laugh-out-loud skits.......I know each episode by heart, and can repeat line for line and, yet, still laugh like it's the first time viewed. Fond memories from my 1950s childhood. After working with my boss for 15 years, I just learned she loves the Honeymooners, so I purchased this set for her for Christmas. The Honeymooners rank right up there with I Love Lucy~!!!
The Best TV Comedy series ever. Love every single episode. As long there is TV classics, people would never foget " Bang Zoom". I know most of the dialogues, i would watch it over and over again. You have to have this DVD in your collection.
I LOVE THIS DVD. THE WHOLE DVD IS FUNNY. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SHOW. NOW WHEN EVER I WANT A GOOD LAUGH, I CAN WATCH THIS DVD. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. ALL THE EPISODES ARE FUNNY. JEANN46
Nice boxed set of the 39 t.v. episodes of Ralph and crew. So many episodes that I totally forgot about, and others that were new to me. A must for any Honeymooner lover!!!
You gotta have these classic episodes. Lots of laughs. I'm almost a Grandfather now and I can remember sharing those special moments with my Father. Maybe my kids can look back at the times they shared with me.

Wonderful and nostaligic Honeymooners DVD collection. Perfect well made and I am totally enjoying them. I'd recommend this collection to any Honeymooner's fans. Still funny after all these years!
I have always liked Jackie Gleason and the "Honeymooners." I discovered a reasonable price for all thirty-nine episodes and decided to purchase the DVD's. The tapes are in excellent condition; no problems.
Perfect for the classic collection. Share with your children and grandchildren. A must have! When this arrived in the mail it was like giving myself a present. One that I will always treasure and share with my grandkids, and reminisce with my sisters and parents. Your grandkids might think "oh no" until they watch and laugh like crazy at Norton and Ralph and the everloving, wisecracking Alice....all 39 episodes. A sure cure for the blues too. Feeling down? line 'em up,turn on the dvd, turn off the phone, put on your fuzzy slippers, have some hot chocolate or wine and prepare to feel better.
Love the show and my 17 year old daughter loves it to thats why i got it. I wish there were more old shows on dvd. this set is the best and should sell alot.
Hey,it's the HONEYMOONERS for crying out loud! It hardly needs a review. I'm only doing this because i can't figure out how to delete the "write review" note from my screen!
I've enjoyed The Honeymooners since I first remember watching the reruns in the late 1970's. Last year I moved from New York to Florida and The Honeymooners New Year's Day marathon that was a fixture in New York wasn't available in Floida. So after being frustrated by not having The Honeymooners maratchon here in Florida I decided early this year to buy the classic 39 episodes of The Honeymooners on ebay. And I really enjoyed watching all 39 episodes so much. :) Now I'm looking for the lost episodes of The Honeymooners and hope to have the pleasure of seeing those shows again soon. Especially the emotional adoption episode which broke away from the normally funny shows. I don't watch much network television anymore. But I do enjoy watching classic television shows from the past such as The Honeymooners. And I'm glad The Honeymooners is available on DVD to people who want to watch the episodes again.
I love it. Just as I remembered it.It was the best weekly shows on TV.I looked at 2 Cds so far and laugh at every episode.You will not be disappointed.
The Honeymooners is an all time "Classic." The day's of the classic sitcoms seems to be vanishing. I bought this set, and started watching the first episodes last night. It is fantastic! The Honeymooners take you back to a more peaceful, slow paced time in life. When the whole family would gather round' the little round tv set with the rabbit ears and enjoy time together. Watching this show you feel like you are "home" again, and laughter makes for a merry heart. I would recommend this set to anyone who love The Honeymooners, as much as I do. Get ready to relax, and go back in time, and have fun.!
The honeymooners are one of my favorite series ever. I bought this set when it first came out on VHS tapes, and now I am getting the CD versions for gifts. Fantastic!!!
I loved these episodes alot. And, I wanted to purchase them at a decent price. I was able to get my favorite alltime show at an affordable price here. I will buy my shows here. These are the best shows ever. A must have for your DVD collection.
