If you were a Honeymooners fan back in the day, you can relate to this article. The very first episode called “TV or Not TV” dated October 1, 1955, Ralph and Norton buy a TV together. The only reason this joint venture happened in the first place, was because Edward Norton couldn’t afford to buy a new TV.
The funny part of this episode is when Alice (Ralph’s wife) calls him cheap because Ralph won’t buy them a TV and the Norton’s are on their second set. Ralph explains that it’s not because he is cheap, but because he is waiting for 3D TV!
Check out the episode below : Turn up the volume!
Ralph Kramden’s life-long dream is to be rich and he has come up with countless schemes to help him achieve his goals. These include:
Pills that turn water into gasoline, Phony stock in oil and oil wells, A hot dog stand, Goat gland vitamins, Used tire sales, Furniture polish, Plastic shoehorns, Rug shampooing, Uranium field in Asbury Park, Glow in the dark shoe polish, Phony hair restorer, Managing a boxer, Buying a hotel in NJ, No-cal pizza, Phony gold stock
Digging for Capt. Kidd’s treasure on Long Island, Campaign to make Secaucus, NJ a honeymooners’ paradise, A handy housewife helper tool and A Mystery appetizer.
My favorite episodes were TV or Not TV and A Mystery appetizer.
This is when TV was great!
My kids refuse to even try watching The Honeymooners. Even though they like many reruns from the 70s and 80s, the black and white from the 50s turns them off. They won’t check out I Love Lucy either.
