The Honeymooners Valentine Special 1978

[@kenbrown438]

Even more fun on the second watching !!!!

[@amyvartanian7729]

Wow what a treat! I forgot all about this one! I love these guys was the most clever, FUNNEST comedy sitcom of all time. What's even more inspiring is how they nerver broke character. I don't know how they did it! Thank you for the upload! Btw i been trying forever to find the whole blabbermouth episode where he makes the record to appologise to Alice for calling her mother a blabbermouth? I would so love to see that whole show again. Can't find it anywhere been looking for years Was the funniest of all the episides in my opinion. My all time fav! Thank you again!

[@rustykilt]

I t made me laugh and cry, to see the cast performing so well again. So many wonderful memories. Just a shame Joyce Randolph was not there. They are all gone now, but the brilliance and charm lives on.

[@eloiseockert9233]

The guys in drag were a bit much!

[@bonniebloom4953]

​@@eloiseockert9233holy sh!t that was funny. Ed looked pretty good I must say.

[@executivedecision6141]

I never cared for Joyce Randolph. Jane Kean was far more talented ( and decent-looking too ) as Trixie. In the 1960s she worked well with Sheila MacRae, who was a worthy successor to Audrey Meadows on The Jackie Gleason Show....only to be replaced by Audrey herself in these post-series specials.

[@J.B24]

I bet most of the audience thought to themselves "Hey that isn't Trixie!" I think Joyce Randolph was the more successful Trixie.

[@eloiseockert9233]

She didn't want to leave New York!

[@toniek6162]

They could have at least had an older Trixie replacement. A younger looking Trixie, only made the rest of the cast, look older..

[@TheJediKenneth]

@@eloiseockert9233 Thanks I did not know that.

[@MuckyPup115]

There is and only ever will be one Thelma “Trixie” Norton and that is the recently deceased Joyce Randolph!

[@nicholassassatelli1359]

Kramden lost twenty pounds and Norton gained twenty pounds.

[@johnbertrand7185]

Good lesson for stage actors here. All the cast hold their dialogue until the (very well deserved) applause subsides so the audience can hear them. Some even do some extra business to let it die down.

[@BabeSantiago]

I don't know what I was doing in. 1978 but I sure missed this .. 46 years later , I can sit and be left alone and enjoy this fantastic comedians of a by gone era..

Amazing how they are still in sync all those years later. Funnier as ever. Pure talent

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂 Ralph lost weight and gave it to Norton 😂😂😂

Ralph & Norton is Some of The Best Screen Chemistry in TV History

In 1978, the Magic was still there, the comedy was flawless.

WATCHING THE HONEYMOONERS IN 2024 IS A REAL TREAT!DID NOT SEE THIS EPISODE AND GLAD I FINALLY SAW IT!

RIP Joyce “Trixie” Randolph, January 13, 2024 (aged 99)

Loved every minute of the show thanks

[@EbonyYoung-n6k]

WOW; I'M SO IN LOVE ,WITH THIS SHOW: ANDI"VE REALLY LOVED VALENTINE'SDAY,❤❤😊😊

[@TracyC-nj2tq]

The dynamic which kept "The Honeymooners" was this: Ralph thought the WORLD of Alice. His golden heart was what often landed him in trouble for his efforts. Yet Alice so loved Ralph for his heart, all she wanted was HIM!

[@fredkares5132]

He got older so nothing wrong with that

[@SorayaEsfandiary_]

Is that what you take away from this wonderful special??

[@hawkmaster381]

It happens to most people as they age.

[@filmmekker]

I highly doubt they’d still have the old fashioned icebox and furniture 20 years later so we lose a little of the realism of the 50’s versions but it’s still great to see them.

[@ShanteRoxxane]

Perhaps it adds to the comedy of Ralph not making enough to upgrade the kitchen even 20 years later. 😅

Where is Joyce Randolph the original Trixie

[@billgreen1861]

Unfortunately, Joyce Randolph, married a man that didn't want his wife to work outside of the house. So she declined every offer for acting and besides, Gleason, had moved the show to Miami and she couldn't travel anyway. -

Wow, Jackie managed to get up from the floor without much effort. I can’t do that and I’m in my 50s. Shameful. 😔

[@eloiseockert9233]

Maybe because he had lost some weight!

[@johncaldwell881]

You should see some of the earlier episodes. Jackie Gleason was very limber

[@kikayei]

@@johncaldwell881 Yes he was. I was just a little surprised in this one because he was also much older. 😆

[@turnthepaigebrooklyn2951]

I been looking looking for an entire episode of Jackie Gleasons variety show from the 1960’s on KZbin. As it was being sold retail it was a bit expensive and never seen individual episodes being offered so 🤨

[@johnbrister712]

❤ my name is John bristersr love 💕 the honey moomer

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows look too prosperous in late middle age to be playing these characters, but it's great that they did it. TV really was more fun in those pre-cable/satellite/streaming days.

[@johncaldwell881]

We barely had cable during that era, and there was no such thing as streaming or satellite television, satellite television was in the 1980’s maybe the late 70’s

[@johnsewell6593]

This was only some 26 years later. Since THIS was created,in 1978 , its been a whopping 46 years. Isn't time a baffling phenomenon......!

[@anndevore7549]

I love ❤️ the honeymooners but I don’t remember seeing this episode. 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@1975jstar]

Just wondering why it looks like Jackie Gleason--Ralph may be breaking down at 19:18. Looks like he is about to cry. I don’t think that was part of the scene. Maybe after all these years and back acting together he had a moment..

[@JamieW-g5x]

Nothing like the original, Jackie Gleason was obviously bored and had to recycle or reboot if you will an old classic series, he should've never had rebooted this series, never got into this boring rebooted series, love jackie Gleason but didn't understand what the heck he was thinking on this one

[@DavidTalks477]

Omg why do they look soooo older!!!??? Dude those cigarettes really aged them much older than their age

[@jasonhurd4379]

This was twenty years after the original show, and they were already middle-aged the first time around.

[@bobmalack481]

You'd look a little older after about 23 years.

[@EdwinRamirez-v6v]

Dont forget san fore and son that show was very funny too

[@OdsnFilms]

I think the main reason these types of B&W reunion shows of the 50's & 60's failed to entertain such as the Honeymooners & the Munsters was they were shot in Color which diminished their nostalgic value... 🧐

[@hawkmaster381]

I thought it was a poor decision to use that opening music instead of the original theme. The Brady Bunch ruined Ragtime music for me forever. But, the writers did a great job creating a typical episode and Ralph, Alice and Norton slipped back into those characters with practiced ease.

[@SP-fw1xe]

Shocking how old the cast looks here and they weren’t even that old actually. They did not age well. Gleason was only 61 or 62 here. Meadows was only 55 or 56. They retained their comedic timing though 👍

[@JRthepyroguy]

Alice got tougher after all those years.

[@michaelb8957]

Norton has gained a lot of weight and he doesn't look healthy and not the quick witted comic he used to be, and Alice has a hair style that makes her look old and very different from that cute look she had . The originals were the greatest.

[@bobmalack481]

Stop nitpicking, this is 23 years later, everything is not going to be exactly the same since the mid 50's.
