'Baby, you're the greatest.' With those words Jackie Gleason ended every episode of the
The Honeymooners and cemented his place in television history. The Honeymooners was such a popular series and lasted so long in re-runs, that most people don't realize it only had 1 regular season in 1955-56. All of the other sketches and so-called 'episodes' were filmed either for the Cavalcade of Stars which Gleason hosted, or later for The Jackie Gleason Show.
Because it wasn't part of the regular season, all of that comedy history was hidden for decades, until Gleason finally opened his personal collection and revealed
The Lost Episodes. Now you can get a selection of the best of those lost sketches in the
Best of The Honeymooners: The Lost Episodes DVD.
Not only are these rare gems television history, even 65 years later the humor, timing and chemistry of the characters is as engaging and infatuating as it ever was. You'll fall in love with misguided but well meaning Ralph all over again as he fumbles his way through his daily adventures.
Episodes include: Stand In For Murder, Principle Of The Thing, A Weighty Problem, The Little Man Who Wasn't There, and The Songwriters.
So join Jackie, along with his co-stars Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph for a look back at
THE show that literally started the TV sitcom.
