Jackie Gleason hated rehearsing. There were many times when he would forget the line or mess it up sometimes. The cast was always ready to jump in to help. At 5:41 Carney ad libs a line as Gleason was late with his entrance.This was as real as it got. If you watch closely or repeat times these bloopers can be caught. But it just added more fun to the show.

Oh you meant the show itself! I especially loved the fact the show took place in Brooklyn, particularly Bushwick Brooklyn - where Jackie Gleason was brought up! I lived in that part of Brooklyn and on Himrod Street in my teens - and loved it when Ralph mentioned certain Streets I occasionally walked up and down on.I felt it was great The MTA honored Jackie Gleason and the cast by naming a Brooklyn Depot The Honeymooners Bus Depot - and placing the logo on the side next to the door saying, "You are riding on The Honeymooners Bus. 'I remember one episode, and this may not be the script verbatim, but Ralph came home and was upset about the job and stated: "I drive up and down Madison Avenue all day. Today there was a line of passengers getting ready to come on the bus. OUT OF ALL THOSE PASSENGERS ONLY ONE WOMAN PASSENGER HAD THE RIGHT CHANGE...and she was on the WRONG bus! besides this. the MTA decides to raise the fares...do they raise the fares to something easy like .15 NO They decide to raise the fare to .13! I am playing with pennies all day!" THIS IS ONE REASON THE MTA HONORED THE SHOW YES YES YES!

It’s incredible that this show dates from the 1950’s when TV was all about sitcoms set in the middle class suburbs. Here is a sitcom set in a blue collar working class one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. A bus driver and a sewer worker. I can’t think of any other sitcom that was set in such a blue collar setting until All in the Family.
