Product ReviewsThe Honeymooners - The Classic 39 Episodes (DVD, 2003, 5-Disc Set)

A timeless Classic for the ages.

Speaking of my own personal bias, the Honeymooners is my all-time favorite and number one show. Norton! Hey dere Ralfie boy! So much incredibly good writing, musical orchestra in the pits for the 3 stages with a centered primary stage, that pulled off so much original material, with meticulous timing, and the seldom miscues which worked to its benefit for that human touch, just cannot be reduplicated in today's grand scheme of things. From the opening and closing theme song written by Jackie, and the orchestra answered every action on stage with utter brilliance. The live audience reactions fueled the genius on the set for everyone to play off each other, like how musicians do when performing together. All the episodes were great, with the "Classic 39" being the epitome of their culmination of their works together. Sheer brilliance at every level of this Honeymooner concept. Only once in a lifetime are treated to such wholesome laughs. Honeymooners forever!Read full review...

Ok but

The Honeymooners What else can be said Just Great! But am disappointed with the dvd menu options with this release as there is " NO OPTION TO PLAY ALL " you have to select the episode to play and when it's over back to the menu . I like to binge watch the dvds without having to work the remote.

The DVD menus are poorly thought out and amateurish.Read full review...

Tt

The whole disc set is great, I still laugh as hard as when I first saw the show, it's really too bad there's only 39 episodes, these 4 Actors can teach the comics of today about how to make people laugh without having to use bad language or stupid sex jokes!! Read full review...

The Honeymooners: What a Great Value!

I watched this series when I was very young. Our whole family thought it was hilarious. Ralph is always scheming and always losing out, his plans forever coming to naught. For my money, this was probably the best cast on television in its era. The stories still entertain, and I am very pleased to be able to share this with my children today. I was eyeing them while we watched the first few shows, and they were laughing just as loudly as I did back when. The situations are ridiculous, but the underlying condition of our plight as humans remains the same. In other words, this show is timeless! Plus, my family gets to learn what life was like back in the 1950s--the things that mattered to us and the the situations that we were concerned with.

The quality of the DVDs is better than expected. Of course, the shows are in black and white, but that only testifies to the product's faithfulness to its roots. I think, had they put this in color, that it would have lost some of its authenticity. I would compare this product to a vinyl 33 rpm record and digital sound today: we get all the music but without the scratches that one would expect to find in the original recording. Nicely done! I highly recommend this product as it provides hours of entertainment at a very low price. Read full review...

The Honeymooners

Perhaps as you get older you think every old show or singer from the past was better than what is offered today, and in the case of Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph I know I am correct. The Honeymooners was a very uniqe series that lasted 39 episodes. Some things don't seem as good as they once did and with the passage of time folks lose intrest and don't see what all the fuss was about, but not so with this series. Its great, there is simply no other way to describe this box set that highlights two of the biggest talents of the 20th century. I loved it so much I bought a second set for a friend.Get this 5 disk set and enjoy one of the best TV shows ever, my favorite episode is Twass The Night Before Christmas,that aired December 25, 1955 and like so many "Honeymooners episodes it is halious and at the same time tugs at your heartstrings as Ralph struggles to make life the best he can for Alice.Read full review...

At least as funny to me now as when first ran.

This television series takes me back to my childhood, the early television days. Humor that evokes at
least at much laughter from me as it did at that time. I can only say "wow"..

And Away We Go!

God we loved Jackie Gleason, the CD is so clear and perfect, we just bought a new SONY Player/Recorder for CD's and VHS tapes, I've seen shows at 74 years old I don't remember, there are 39 shows, I didn't know it only ran that long? Yes. yes I can still remember watching "The Jackie Gleason Show" live! He would do short skits, musical acts, then he did The Honeymooners, and Jackie was smart like Lucy and Dezi, he filmed all his shows, what insight!

Who doesn't love The Honeymooners?

The episodes take me back to when times were simpler, and watching them at 11 pm on the sofa when hubby came home from the night shift is a forever sweet comfortable memory...
