Shortline Bus Posted September 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2011 I know none of us on the boards was around in the mid-1950's when this all time fan favorite debuted as a tv show. However worth asking since it's still popular almost 60 years later. Anyone here a Honeymooners fan? Or maybe seen the 2005 film remake starring Cedric the Entertainer? And for bus drivers does Ralph Kramden potray accurately a NYC Bus driver in the 1950's? Lets zoom to the moon. 1)Opening theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSFSkiq1FXE 2)Maybe my all time favorite skit "Chef of the Future" http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=honeymooners+chef+of+the+future&aq=3&oq=honeymooners+ 3)2005's remake starting Cedric the Entertainer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBs7pGeAOSc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted September 5, 2011 pow right in the kisser. I see the show sometimes. I have never seen the remake movie. I have seen the Cedric the Entertainer's remake and not good IMO. There was a reason it was a flop at the box office. Anyhow NYCtrainfan if you can and could afford it try to buy the DVD collection. It's so funny at times, you cry laughing. Or just wait until the Holiday season as Ch.11 in NYC usually has a Honeymooners marathon i think either on Thanksgiving or New Years Day.

I'm also interested in getting the munsters DVD collection as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted September 5, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 5, 2011 THe original was fantastic. Just about every classic sitcom plotline originated with that show. Considering that 85-90% of all the scenes were in that little dining room area in their brooklyn apartment, they did pretty amazing things with that show.

Mysterious2train Posted September 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 5, 2011 I love the show. My dad bought lots of old sitcoms like Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., and the Odd Couple so that we'd have an alternative to current TV. 2005 movie? I don't know what you guys are talking about. There was never a crude, race-lifted remake of the show starring Cedric the Entertainer. Never. ...despite the general panning of the movie, Roger Ebert actually gave it a positive review.

Shortline Bus Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted September 5, 2011 Sadly many kids especially those under age 18, have never heard of the Honeymooners. A year or two back, I mention that classic show and out of class of 30 students only 1-2 had heard of it. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked some of my friends the other day if they have heard of the T.V shows the three stooges or the rifleman or music bands the beatles or chicago and they told me no. I'm often called an old man trapped in a young man's body lol. I've always liked (and always will) the "older" generation stuff like music and T.V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as popular as say the Pope at the time or then US President Nixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted September 6, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 6, 2011 I used to watch the Honeymooners on Channel 11 at 11:30pm weeknights back in the 80's before I got cable TV. Back in those days you only had a few channels to watch and if you had a strong antenna you could watch some of the UHF stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimMan Posted September 12, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 12, 2011 Remember these: [The golf lesson from Norton] "First, you address the ball… hello, ball." Poor Alice..."One of these days Alice, Bang Zoom! To The Moon Alice! To The Moon!" [Norton to Ralph who has been laid off] Know just how you feel because I went through the same thing two or three years ago when they laid me off from the sewer. I felt just like a fish out of water. [Norton to Ralph] Look, just don't get upset. You're gettin' all upset now. Let's calm down and look nice when we get down there. There's no sense in getting upset. Now listen, the boys in the sewer, there, when we get upset we got a little motto... a little saying that gives us comfort in time of need. Maybe I can pass it on to you. May I favor you with this little ode? "When the tides of life turn against you, and the current upsets your boat. Don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lay on your back and float." By the way, Mr. Gleason was a very good serious actor. Check him out in the "Hustler" with Paul Newman. Great flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was a sketch on Gleason's hour long show before it became a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
