The hesitation by Gleason after he says you are sure of being a bus driver as long as you live ….. then the slow motion point is absolutely hilarious I watched it 109x still hilarious!!!!

Watch honeymooner's on a daily basis. Like if I miss them it's like not having my coffee. The thing I was born in late 50"s but i didn't grow up with them. Almost like I was their neighbor's young child . 😅loved it and all of them
@@Cissy2cute Yes, that's true. From when he was a kid. He said he found the hat in the back of his closet and thought it would be perfect for the Norton character to wear.
MAN ... YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I HARDLY WATCH ANYTHING PUT OUT TODAY BECAUSE OF SHOWS LIKE THIS ARE PLENTY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH THIS IT NEVER EVEN COMES CLOSE TO GETTING OLD!!! JACKIE GLEASON WAS THE VERY BEST!
@tomitstube a lot of times I don't think he was acting. All of his characters. The Poor Soul, Fenwick Babbitt, Joe The Bartender...He knew tons of people like that. He was part of each character and vice versa. He delved deep into his musical knowledge and had his orchestras perform standards, but other little known gems as well. "Romantic Jazz" is a great record, "Lover's Portfolio" which is a box set of albums that are made to dance to, drink, to, and love to. I have that one with the drink recipe he put into it.
@@chrisbus3253 I wasn’t born till the early 70s but I grew up on this show. In Brooklyn Ny this came on channel 11 at 11:30 pm my whole childhood till I was about 21 years old. I remember when I was 8 years old I would sneak staying up late on school night to watch this show lol.
Always was and still am a huge fan. Back in the early 80s The Honeymooners came on at 9:30pm weekdays then followed by the Twilight Zone at 10 then Night Gallery at 10:30pm. How I miss those days.
@@beautyinthedark7406 Here, it was Honeymooners then Get Smart. Every night at a certain time, the picture would start to go fuzzy during Get Smart, then it would turn to complete static, then slowly come back again. I'd miss five minutes of the show, but it was like clockwork. Sucked!
There are no shows like this any where that are just plain funny. All the shows on now have some kind of sexual references in them. Family Feud is one of them, Steve Harvey is just plain disgusting……
Weird as this will sound, I can't imagine life without this show. That moon rising over the tenements was like looking out my bedroom window. All seemed right in the world as soon as those opening credits rolled to that theme song.
I was born in 1984. And I first seen this show on television through rebroadcasted episodes. This show beats all sitcoms from today. I guess I'm an old soul.
Yep it sure was. Except on Christmas Eve when the Yule Log was on followed by Midnight Mass from St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Honeymooners, for a while, was shown right after Mass and it was always the Christmas episode. The one where Jackie Gleason steps out of character at the end but they would cut that part off.
When I was a kid this was on WPIX Channel 11, and every night I used to watch it with my dad. Never laughed as much or as good as I used to for those 30 minutes. They were brilliant!!!
Same here! I still remember Daddy laughing so hard he would almost fall off the couch! I was so young, I think I laughed more at daddy than I did the show. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Marshall's cross street is 91st Street - Oscar and Felix were at 1049 Park Ave (86th Street). 4, 5, 6 trains are at 86th and Lexington, Q at 86th and Second Ave.
I put Jackie Gleason and James Cagney in the same class of very professional entertainers - - Masters of their Art. Those were the shows many of us grew-up watching. Like others here, I was born in 1961 and haven't seen a color TV until 1970 - Black & White TV was always my favorite ..... and I naturally gravitated toward B&W Photography too ....
I like black and white too! I draw pencil portraits of people and like the contrast and drama of b&w. I was looking at b&w photos of people when it struck me how cool it is. 😊
I grew up watching this show in the mid to late fifties. The opening music sends a wave of nostalgia through me like nothing else. Ralph was so different from my dad. Many of the episodes ended with “Baby, you’re the greatest”. Those words really moved me. Great episode. Thanks for posting.
I like the look on Alice's face when Norton says what he said because she knows what's coming and gets out of the way. It's amazing since Gleason often didn't rehearse with the group.
I built a house on the Westbrook shore in 1988. Art Carney’s house was about 6 houses away, towards the public beach, which was not far from the Elks club. During the construction of that house, Art occasionally came to visit, and we chatted occasionally. I think he liked my sense of humor, coz the first time I met him, he walked up behind me as I was squinting into my transit, checking the plumb lines on the structure; I had no idea who was behind me at first, and assumed it was another “tourist” interfering with my job, asking too many questions, so I decided I’d have a little fun and when he asked what I was building, which was a very contemporary structure, I said, “A bank…” Of course, the implication was that it was costing a fortune, but I was also just being a smart ass. Right then, one of the boys on my crew saw me standing next to “Ed” and shouted down from the top of the house, “Heyyy, Ralphy Boy!” I heard Art chuckle behind me, and turned to see him laughing. I almost stammered like Ralph might have, out of embarrassment for my sarcastic comment. Lol. But when I started to apologize, Art would have none of it. He laughed and told me I had nothing to be sorry about, coz he had no right to bug me whilst I was hard at work, earning a living. I then tried to apologize for my employee’s comment, but he turned that around as well, and told me that he never got tired of people recognizing him for that role. He insisted it’d been groundbreaking for his career and he had no regrets working with Jackie Gleason. He came across as just an average “Joe”, and a nice guy to boot. After that I saw him occasionally as we reached certain stages in the project. I remember wondering often back then if he was watching us build that house, coz he had said he would sit in his bedroom window at times, doing just that; fascinated by the progress. Bottom line, watching the old shows took on a different meaning for me after that. I got to meet the “real” man, and my take was that he was just as sweet as the character he portrayed in that series.
Yes, he was great! From what I learned about Jackie Gleason's life story, he was raised in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. In the episode Pal O' Mine, there is a reference to the Bushwick Hospital.

The weekly series, The Honey Mooners , were one of the very best shows, on evening 1950's television. The stars Jackie Gleason, Audrey Medows, Art Carney, & still living ,Joyce Randolph , were superb !!! Thankyou youtube, & to Golden Age Cinema to have their series of shows on this channel or blog. Kevin Phoenix
I was born in 1950 and I remember when this series ran with first run episodes in 1955. My Dad couldn't stop laughing (he wasn't an easy laugh, either!) This is timeless comedy.
@@billyrichards8834 When Audrey Meadows first auditioned for the part Jackie Gleason thought she was too attractive to play it. She auditioned again sans makeup and hairstyling and was hired.
Oh, I totally get it. She was a VERY SMART actress. I think her year's on Broadway helped her to discover exactly the types of character's Producer's and Director's are looking for. That's why she immediately only changed her appearance, gave the 'LOOK' they were looking for, and she was immediately hired, without ever giving an audition.
That's what I meant. That AFTER photo's were sent to Gleason (after she auditioned the FIRST time) he hired her, just on the photo's alone, without ever knowing it was her.
One of my very favorite episodes! It always reminds me what happened to me when I was young. George and I were childhood friends and used to hang out every single day. From playing kid games to chasing women. Always together. But we both joined the army and we lost track of each other. One evening I was walking in the busy street in uniform and there was George walking toward me! I was glad to see him, but he was a lieutenant, and I was a private first class! I said Hey George, long time! He said I'll give you hey George! Why did you not salute? You're going on report! I thought he was just messing with me, but he was not! He was serious as cancer. His rank went to his head, erased his memory and showed his true colors. I felt very sad but after a while I realized that I did not need a friend like him, he was not like Norton, a true-blue buddy, he was more like a selfish arrogant little man. I never saw him again, I never wanted to!
Well, there were a couple of publicity stills taken where he was behind the wheel of an actual New York City bus but there was never any footage of him actually driving one or even a scene with the bus standing still and him receiving passengers. Not even on the lost kinescope episodes or when it was a skit on his variety show.
Cant believe im wattching the honeymooners on a phone.... If you just let that sit in for a minute........ On a phone....... Mind boggling. Im 40 and use to watch the reruns with my father as a kid.... Could you imagine Ralph watching tv on a phone...
Ralph briefly had a T.V. & a ☎, never kept those either. Not even a radio like a lot of other people had. Ralph just eeked out a living driving a bus & really, Alice & the roof over their head was what really mattered to them.
One of the many things I loved about this show was the love and devotion Alice showed towards Ralph. I know it's just a role she played but imagine if every marriage was like this or at least the majority. How much of a better world this would be.
It actually lasted a lot longer than the 39 episodes, before and after those, just not by the same title. You should check out "The Honeymooners: The Lost Episodes" DVD set, tons of episodes that aren't the classic 39. And that just covers the 50s, not many know the Honeymooners were also brought back in the 60s and 70s as well.
One of the best shows ! Teaches so many Life Lessons of everyday situations in Society. There's pride, jealousy, envy and misunderstandings. But the greatest Lesson is when Norton admits the ideas were his best friend's own words. I don't know how these ideas were put together in less than 20 minutes, but it works, the audience is not superficial like today's shows. This is the real deal and in the pioneer days of television before they got "professional".

The Flintstones, which was a cartoon version of the honeymooners, had a similar episode when barney was automatically in charge of Fred over similar circumstances
@@kathyflorcruz552 since I was raised in the 60s and 70s I assure you I didn't miss anything with Jackie Gleason----- WE ONLY HAD THREE CHANNELS. Clearly, my point was that his talent was far more broad than a lot of his roles as he was very much type cast.
On the Jackie Gleason Show there was Joe the bartender,Reggie Van Gleason,The Poor Soul all Gleason Characters. Each one was Brilliant,and Ralph combined all those brilliant characters into one.
The hesitation by Gleason after he says you are sure of being a bus driver as long as you live ….. then the slow motion point is absolutely hilarious I watched it 109x still hilarious!!!!

UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO SHOWS ON TV LIKE THE HONEYMOONERS!!!❤❤

Great writers
Amazing show you're right

you are so lucky. I wish I could go back in time and see this live.
I love it when Ralph goes huminahuminahumina

Gleason was the king in the late 50's and early 60's. Incredible talent.
❤ Jackie Gleason was The King He was Amazing so funny i still watch them every day 😊👍my favorite couples
Yes, great dramatic actor too & his orchestra was wonderful as well.
@@kathyflorcruz552 👍 His facial expressions too.🤣.I love him.im watching them right now...❤😍
Yeah! Gleason was great as " Minnesota Fats ".. In The Hustler. ( Paul Newman )
Man this is great. I cannot stop laughing. Funniest television series in history. Best endings also.
Ya you wonder what happened to us.
@@johnh23z Amen!
@@johnh23z 😊😅
Jackie Gleason was the total package of acting, production, drama, humour. You're watching brilliance when you watch the honeymooners.
He's the shear definition of an "auter"..so true,sir!
Never rehearsed
@@KevinDee1979 genius
Alice and even Alice’s mother were fantastic too.
@@KevinDee1979 no rehearsals, just natural greatness
Man it's good to see so many people still watch this show.. i used to love watching it Sunday night at 11 before bed and a week full of work
Me to
Watching in January, 2022.
Me too
WPIX if I remember right :)
Came on same time in Chicago...I remember .I'm 71 and blessed to have lived when Television was definitely better than now!
Stay Kosher!
Norton without his hat. This is rare!
Trivia: That was actually Carney's own hat.
well, after all...he DID just have it blocked.
@@Cissy2cute Yes, that's true. From when he was a kid. He said he found the hat in the back of his closet and thought it would be perfect for the Norton character to wear.
Mr. Marshall gave his address as 1149 Park Ave., Zillow currently has a listing at that address. A 4700 sq. ft. 4 bedroom 7 bath for $8,750,000.
Sounds like a steal
jackie had a wide range of emotions, all believable, a very good actor.
MAN ... YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I HARDLY WATCH ANYTHING PUT OUT TODAY BECAUSE OF SHOWS LIKE THIS ARE PLENTY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH THIS IT NEVER EVEN COMES CLOSE TO GETTING OLD!!! JACKIE GLEASON WAS THE VERY BEST!

Ed makes a first impression insulting the company and later that night is offered a supervisor job lmao!
😐
😂😂😂
"You are assured of being a bus driver as long as you live." The way Ralph points at the door. LOL
It was a riot. I also loved when Alice walks away because she knows that Ralph is about to blow.
Yes priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right!
Classic
I rewind that scene every time
yeah he said Norton i want you out of my house before i lose it with his arm
I cant tell you how many times I have watched these episodes OVER and OVER and OVER again and never get tired of them. CLassics!!

Ralph threw Norton out of the apartment many times, but NEVER as hilariously as at 19:47; a truly classic bit. LR
The long underhand point to the door was sickening hilarious!
Sorry I’m late Ralph...I’m sorry I kept you waiting, It took me a year to get across town in one of those miserable buses your company runs.

I been watching this show for years I love it. I'm very old and still love 37 years old. Plus 🇩🇴🇺🇲 New York like the show.
'hubba hubba hubba....boom, to the moon!' to Alice. Classic
🤗❤😍.i still 👀 them in 2022..my favorite comedians favorite couples.😊❤.Thank you😊❤
I always wanted to see Ralph actually drive a bus.
Yes! Me2!
Me 3 And Ed in Sewer
Well, there were a couple of publicity stills taken where he was behind the wheel of an actual New York City bus but there was never any footage of him actually driving one or even a scene with the bus standing still and him receiving passengers. Not even on the lost kinescope episodes or when it was a skit on his variety show.
U mean, 'bribe a dus'......'dus a bribe'.....
@@dianestaiano6654 🤣😂
Cant believe im wattching the honeymooners on a phone.... If you just let that sit in for a minute........ On a phone....... Mind boggling. Im 40 and use to watch the reruns with my father as a kid.... Could you imagine Ralph watching tv on a phone...
Ralph briefly had a T.V. & a ☎, never kept those either. Not even a radio like a lot of other people had. Ralph just eeked out a living driving a bus & really, Alice & the roof over their head was what really mattered to them.
A beautiful episode.
I miss the honeymooners
Interesting that Gleason would play the role of a pool pro in The Hustler with Newman.
One of the many things I loved about this show was the love and devotion Alice showed towards Ralph. I know it's just a role she played but imagine if every marriage was like this or at least the majority. How much of a better world this would be.
“I bet furniture cost a couple hundred bucks in here” 😅😅
Great episode...just enough silliness, but makes you like both of them as people and you see why they're friends, not just a dope and a bully
My most FAVORITE underrated show EVER!!! It should've lasted longer than 39 episodes
It sure should have... but that's all Gleason wanted to do
Tammy Webb ...It was Jackie Gleason's decision.
Tammy Webb Underrated ? This is one of the most celebrated shows in TV history.
Underrated? It's considered one of the best comedies of all time.
It actually lasted a lot longer than the 39 episodes, before and after those, just not by the same title. You should check out "The Honeymooners: The Lost Episodes" DVD set, tons of episodes that aren't the classic 39. And that just covers the 50s, not many know the Honeymooners were also brought back in the 60s and 70s as well.
Watching this om a hot summer night in Brooklyn ny
Watching on a cold Christmas eve in Queens
Hot summer nights in Brooklyn with no air conditioning just fans in those days I'm now 71
I just noticed..... that's the same guy who played the butter on the Ralph Kramden inc. episode!!!
Funny stuff, loved watching the reruns great cast of actors.
"you'll be a bus driver the rest of your life" 😂😂😂
One of the best shows ! Teaches so many Life Lessons of everyday situations in Society. There's pride, jealousy, envy and misunderstandings. But the greatest Lesson is when Norton admits the ideas were his best friend's own words. I don't know how these ideas were put together in less than 20 minutes, but it works, the audience is not superficial like today's shows. This is the real deal and in the pioneer days of television before they got "professional".
I just luv it.. I grew up watching this show!!😂😂
Thanks again for watching.

I love this show......first time i ever watched was maybe 2013......
Seen every episodes 3-4 times.
*Truly great*
The Flintstones, which was a cartoon version of the honeymooners, had a similar episode when barney was automatically in charge of Fred over similar circumstances
Watching this on a hot hot Tuesday afternoon off from work june 29 2021
FINALLY!!!!! Alice had Ralph's back and held him down. . . lol
Alice was a terrible supporter of Ralph.
@@williegaga facts. But this time around........
I love this show Great funny cast.
Never underestimate the power of live audience. The cast gets to time their performances beautifully.
This guy gets mad at everyone so quickly. 😂
He's only playing the character
Because he's mad at life in general. That's why. He's been beaten down by it and no matter how hard he tries, he can never get ahead.
@@retroguy9494 Probably the basis for the Poor Soul.
He was an underused and underestimated talent. He was great in "Smokey and the Bandit."
Yes he was And GD in Nothing In Common and Movie Toys With Richard Pryor
He was so damn funny! And his facial expressions .he is still my favorite comedian 2022 👍.your comment so true
??? Maybe you just aren't aware of all of his work.
@@kathyflorcruz552 since I was raised in the 60s and 70s I assure you I didn't miss anything with Jackie Gleason----- WE ONLY HAD THREE CHANNELS. Clearly, my point was that his talent was far more broad than a lot of his roles as he was very much type cast.
Let me have a diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper...
On the Jackie Gleason Show there was Joe the bartender,Reggie Van Gleason,The Poor Soul all Gleason Characters. Each one was Brilliant,and Ralph combined all those brilliant characters into one.
these two are the greatest comedy duo of all time love how Norton gets a life and times in the sewer reference in will be funny for ever more
Chilling and watching on NYE at work. Saludos
I love this picture
This is so true to that era. This is the way people talked and acted. 😆 A little different today.
Yes. Now people are so politically correct they sound like idiots.
