I’m sure that anyone spending the time reading reviews of this Honeymooners Box Set, doesn’t need any reassurance as to the show itself. What more needs to be said about Ralph and the gang? The great 39 episodes never fail to deliver. The Honeymooners remain the prime example of television comedy at it’s zenith. The show, while serving as a wonderful time capsule of it’s era, is astoundingly fresh, having aged beautifully. *********About the Box Set************As I read other reviews here I realize that there is some confusion regarding this set. It almost makes me believe that there is another box set floating around. Anyway, the one I am referring to was just released November 2003…(not sure why even Amazon has it listed as 2000). I see that others are complaining that the shows are not chronologically placed on the discs, but grouped thematically. While that would be a little annoying to me as well, such is NOT the case with the set I purchased…all are in the order that they were originally aired with the airdates given. Another complaint that I’ve seen posted is in regards to the quality of the transfers themselves. Once again, I can’t imagine that these reviewers are seeing the same Box Set as I am. I am a rather picky viewer and try to stay informed…I’ve never seen the show look or sound better. Glorious Black and White. (I will attest to the fact that the episode “TV or Not TV” does not look or sound as good as the rest, probably inherant in the source material…not a biggie though). As far as extras…not much here. The Anniversary special included here is a shortened version and isn’t all that informative or even necessary for that matter. Yes, it would have been nice to have more extras…interviews, commentary, bio’s, etc…, but for the price of this set, you are getting the gold, which is the show itself. I think CBS/Paramount realized that people are becoming wary of large, expensive box sets, and aren’t purchasing them. Case in point…Fox went all out in their release of Mary Tyler Moore Season One. Great packaging, loaded with extras, great transfers. Now they are claiming that it didn’t sell enough to warrant their releasing of any further seasons. So fans are left hanging with a great Box Set of Season One…with no more to come. Ridiculous! ( Fans of that show have started a petition…if interested go to mtmshow.com) ******All in all, since the Honeymooners only had one season filmed, it could have been released with more extras, but with a show of this caliber it certainly stands on it’s own merit. For under $40, to have the complete Honeymooners crisp on clear on DVD…how can you complain?
Having been born 24 years after the initial showing of the Honeymooners, I might not be the target audience that came to mind when this DVD collection was assembled. Funny is funny, however, and these “Classic 39″ episodes of the Honeymooners are the funniest half hours ever shown on television and the greatest situation comedy of all time.
You just don’t see shows like this now. Nothing is this well acted or this well written. And nothing is just this funny. This is a husband and wife struggling to get by and they look like it, too. This “Friends” where the cast lives like millionaires. This isn’t “Fraiser” where they work in some high-profile industry. Ralph drives a bus and Norton works in the sewer (an “underground engineer.”) The Kramdens and Norton are real people and real neighbors.
What made the show work so well was the actors. Jackie Gleason owns the material. He doesn’t even have to say a word to provide a hilarious moment. Just watch him stew, his face contort while listening to his mother-in-law just prior to his famous blabbermouth rant.
Audrey Meadows is perfect. When Gleason sets ‘em up, Meadows’ Alice knocks ‘em down like no one else. Ralph: “The bills will get bigger & bigger, and I’ll get less to eat. Then you know what I’ll look like?” Alice: “Yeah, a human being.” Episode after episode, she deadpans cut down and cut down with deadly accuracy.
Art Carney’s Norton should have his own statue in Washington DC. A terrific actor playing the part perfectly. Like Meadows, Carney has an uncanny chemistry with Gleason. You really can feel the history between the two characters, as if they’ve been best friends for long enough to be close friends and long enough to get on each others nerves all the time.
Likewise, you get the same feeling between Ralph and Alice as well as Norton and Trixie, who — played by Joyce Randolph — is the perfect match for screwball Norton.
And of course, there is every else that made the show so great. Bert Weedemeyer, Mr. Marshall, the Friendly Raccoons and Haaaaaarrrrrvy.
Every episode has one belly laugh moment and at least a half dozen great lines. I’m buying two sets. One for myself and one for my - Brooklyn born and raised - dad for Christmas.
