I was 6 or7 when we watched this as a family in Chicago. My Dad worked nights 7 nights a week, and never saw it. We would make a big pot of tea and make our favorite poor persons snack. Saltines with butter or jelly. The 4 of us kids would sit there and laugh until it was time to go to bed. When I hear that theme song, I am back at that table. It doesn't seem 60 years ago. We had one of the only Televisions on the block. About half of the families didn't have cars, including us most times. But no one felt left out. In the afternoon, my friends would come over and we would watch The Mickey Mouse Club. No one had any money, and no one cared. Memories like this are priceless.

The Honeymooners actually started as a 6 minute sketch on 10/05/1951. During the 1953-54 season, there were more 6 minute episodes, but The Honeymooners was so popular that they made longer episodes. After the Jackie Gleason Show came back on the air in 1966, they started doing Honeymooner sketches again, this time in color. The show ran until 1970.

Ralph:(confident) I've already said it, I'm going for the $99,000 question. Host: Alright, I wish you lots of luck Mr. Cramden. What is this song and who is the composer? Ralph(hears Ed's warm music) That's a song? Host: Yes it is now what song is it and who is the composer? Your time's running out better hurry up and take a guess. Ralph(stammering): Piano warmup by Ed Norton? Host: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Cramden. No, the correct answer is Swanee River by Stephen Foster.

I love this show & 4 actors and characters. Ralph's horror when he realized the song Norton played to warm up, over and over again was the song in question, Swanee River and he didn't know the composer and says Ed Norton? Those eyes of his, they very expressive I've always like him. I was just reading about Gleason, he had a tough personal life. Thanks for sharing the shows, they're wonderful. I also looked the composer up, Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 - January 13, 1864), known as "the father of American music", was an American composer known primarily for his parlour and minstrel music during the Romantic period. He wrote more than 200 songs, including "Oh! Susanna", "Hard Times Come Again No More", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home" ("Swanee River"), "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", "Old Black Joe", and "Beautiful Dreamer", and many of his compositions remain popular today"

The reason the payoff works so well is because it's already established Norton's character has many eccentric rituals that the set-up totally flies over our heads. Had it been a generic, underdeveloped character, we would have seen the ending a mile away. Textbook example of great character writing.

I remember being a little boy growing up in Jersey in the 70's and sharing a bedroom with my 3 brothers and we had a 19 inch TV and every night at 11:00 PM we watched every Honeymooners rerun a 100 times and never got tiered of watching them...Good clean comedy. And pure talent when you can make someone laugh when the whole show was basically in a small tidy apartment. Nowadays just pure filth with demonic overturns.

Makes me laugh and cry a little. A show I watched with my mom and dad on our black and white T.V. . My father loved him and both my mom and dad would pretend to be each person. . Those WERE THE DAYS. I loved growing up in that Era and miss it fondly. Most times us sisters were out PLAYING well into late teens.

Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows...memories of the 50's. Still a great show. So many shows are launched constantly these days. These shows are diluted.

Living in New Haven, CT we were fortunate to receive WPIX and several other NYC stations. This added viewing diversity to our local TV station. Historical note: Many stations ended their broadcast at approximately 12:00 AM with the playing of the National Anthem.

As funny as this episode, I felt really bad for Ralph that he didn't even win $100 - let alone $99,000. This is especially true when you consider how far behind he was with his money. He stayed home from work without pay the entire week, plus he rented a piano and a phonograph. Alice herself even said that Ralph would have to win that $99,000 just to break even. Imagine how bummed out both Ralph and Alice are when he returns home without any winning money at all.

I remember watching this as a little girl and thought it was hilarious when Ralph said "Ed Norton" was the composer of Swanee River. 50 years later I still laugh at that.

Alice was HOT! I know. I've spent MANY nights in bed, going through countless bottles of lotion.
