What are your thoughts, is the other question?
As to my favorites, here they are:
- "The Honeymooners In England" (a.k.a. "The Mod Couple) (originally aired Nov. 12, 1966) - In an ironic coincidence, this aired exactly eleven years to the day after the "Better Living Through TV" Classic 39 episode. In both episodes, Ralph was over-rehearsing a TV commercial; in both, he froze and hamina-hamina-hamina'd his way through the ad when the red light was on.
- "Life Upon The Wicked Stage" (Feb. 11, 1967) - Ralph and Norton enter an amateur contest at the Halsey . . . as do Alice and Trixie, to the husbands' chagrin. In a sense, Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean's "show-stopping" number with their sequined gowns, played more to their real-life musical-comedy experiences; not to mention playing better than in the Lost episode "Songs and Witty Sayings" from 1955 whereby Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph did the "Hawaiian" number.
- "Ralph Kramden Presents" (March 18, 1967) - Ralph brags he can get Jackie Gleason to appear at the Raccoons' dance. In a way, this fit in more with the way that "The Honeymooners" was structured in 1967 than when the original Lost "Catch A Star" episode was made in '56. In both versions, George Petrie's hotel desk clerk watched Gleason's competition (Perry Como in 1956, Flipper in '67).
Again, what would your favorite color episodes be? I'm curious to know . . .
