Get the bag. As The Honeymooners continues to get bumped from late-night TV schedules across the nation--by laughably unfunny shows such as Friends and Murphy Brown no less--legions of Honeymoonies will need to get their fix in other ways. This set--the Honeymoonie's Holy Grail--contains all 39 episodes from the legendary 1955-1956 season. There's no commentary from some 'expert' who compares Ralph to gods from Greek mythology or memories from some assistant producer--it's just the meat, and that's enough to make any fan salivate. This was the only season that The Honeymooners had a life of its own apart from the Jackie Gleason Show, and as much as we tried to welcome the 'Lost Episodes' into our family, they very rarely matched the high quality of the classic 39. Rather than sequence them in order, the producers have decided to group them by eight different themes including Ralph's jealous nature, his life at the Gotham Bus Company, his friendship with Norton, domestic troubles, and financial woes. Sometimes this approach is a bit forced, but it does illustrate why The Honeymooners is the ultimate situation comedy: You can show them out of order. No matter what happens to the Bensonhurst foursome, Ralph will still work for the bus company, Norton in the sewer. They'll be struggling to get by, passing the time bowling, shooting pool, arguing with the wives, and dreaming of a better day. And it's in the mundanity of everyday life that The Honeymooners finds boundless humor. Even when the events were anything but mundane--bank robbers, counterfeiters, TV commercials, game shows, golf dates with The Boss--the real story and the best jokes were about the reality of their lives and the realization that, because of marriage and friendship, they didn't really have it so bad after all. The chemistry between Jackie Gleason and Art Carney still amazes after all these years. Audrey Meadows's Alice is the perfect foil for Ralph, stern but sympathetic. And Joyce Randolph's Trixie? Well, let's just call her 'earnest.' Still, for all of Norton's frenetic energy and Alice's wisdom, the show belongs to Ralph Kramden. Somehow, Gleason took a chauvinistic, paranoid, insensitive, scheming, bitter, loudmouth, underachieving bus driver and made him a hero to millions. --Marc Greilsamer

It's an excelent serie. The DVD's have a lot of quality. The seller that send me was very honest and kept is compromise.
The package just delayed because the portuguese costum work very badly.

What can be said that has not already been said about The Honeymooners. The younger generation may not "get it", but if you grew up watching and loving The Honeymooners" as I have, this is the collection to get. I remember watching these episodes on our black and white television set that got only 13 channels, or stations as they were called. If you arranged the rabbit ears just right, the quality was still not nearly as good as you'll find in these videos. I'm sure others in my age range would agree of how many fond memories these classic "Honeymooner" episodes bring back and speaking for myself, continue to create as I watch them over and over again with my mother. As Ralph said in one of his episodes.."Some day Alice, I'm going to hit that high note". You already have Ralphy boy...you already have. Thank you!!!

I bought these as a gift for my grandmother. Lots of laughs and memories for her; this one my grandfathers favorite show. If you don't know Jackie Gleason's character in this, Ralph Cramdon is a cranky guy that is always trying to get rich quick. He is a NYC bus driver and lives a a tiny apartment with a funny neighbor side-kick Ed Norton that works in the sewer. Crazy comedy back then.

My husband loved The Honeymooners DVD. I checked in so many stores to find this classic for his birthday and I was not able to purchase it anywhere and then my son reminded me of Amazon.com where we had purchased CDs for him in the past. I found exactly what I was looking for and at an affordable price!
