Honeymooners on e-Bay!

[The Great One]

Today from UPS I received "The Honeymooners Game" that I had purchased
off of e-Bay. It's a very nice game so I'm happy that I bought it. How about the rest of you Honeymooners fans~have you purchased any Honeymooners
items from e-Bay and were you happy with what you received? I would be interested to hear your comments. :wave:

Are you talking about the VCR game? If so, I hope you enjoy those scenes from the Lost Episodes.

Yes! I love Ebay it's my newest addiction.
I've bought -The Honeymooners Throw Blanket, 2 early CBS promo pictures in mint condition of Jackie Gleason- they both came attached with the original (both were different) descriptions of the show which is great to have. I bought 1 Honeymooner Comic book it has an interview with Joyce Randolph & my latest purchase was a 1955 TV Guide with Art Carney on the cover & a very detailed interview with him inside.

I've been very happy with everything I've bought off of Ebay. I won't buy anything from anyone with less than 99% positive feedback so I'm sure that's why. Right now I'm stepping back a little *saving some money* because there's a few things coming up that I HAVE to have...so I need to have some money to bid with lol.

I bought the regular board game. I didn't know there was a VCR version.

Hey AndAwayWeGo! We share the same addiction. hehehe...I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN...I got money on the side all ready for that next unique Honeymooners item for sale on e-Bay. You have a cool collection of stuff and
I think that it's a smart move on your part to buy only from those with a 99% positive feedback rating. I do the same thing. Are you planing on putting your
collectibles in a display case? :)

Well kind of-I bought this big dark blue scrap book & have been putting the pictures, Comic book & TV Guide in that. Only I put dark blue (to look like the midnight sky) acid free paper behind it with these really beautiful little stars. That way I have the picture or whatever the item is & then the Honeymooner looking scene behind it. I'm also having the famous moon with Ralph's face made into stickers so I can stick that to the background as well. And for the pages in between each item I made a collage of different Honeymooner sketches with borders around them that give the air date, the name of the episode & whatever line they were saying in that particular picture. I do have one page that's just pictures from rehearsals or them just hanging out. (However I did manage to get the dates & the names of the sketches they were rehearsing for.) That one is in between the Comic book & the TV Guide lol. I just love it!

I'm glad I finally gave into the Ebay thing! All my friends use it but I was always a little hesitant but after my first purchase & "You won Item etc etc" email...I WAS HOOKED lol!

I'm glad to hear that you take good care of your collectibles. The mark of a serious collector.

Yes! That's what did it for me. After the first "You won Item", things have never been the same. hehehe...:)

The video has the animated Showtime opening wth Ralph looking into the treasure chest. It preceded every lost episode when they aired back in the 80's.

[BensonFan]

Not yet but I will probably end up buying the "lost episodes" DVDs, since I don't see them anywhere in stores.

I see those being sold on e-Bay all the time and the prices are very good. Good luck with your purchase.

[*ClassicPinUp*]

I had to order all my Lost Episodes off of Amazon or Wal-Mart as they aren't in any local stores around here (FL) either. Hey maybe MPI isn't putting out anymore because they are getting ready to release the new ones! :rolleyes: a girl can hope lol!

Thanks for letting me know a little bit about the video. I'm going to try to buy the VCR version of the game on e-Bay.

I just bought this VCR Honeymooners game. Is this the one you guys were talking about? It mentions Lost Episodes so I figured it was but just wanted to double check. I thought it would be a cute game to play with my nieces & nephew who are growing up watching the Honeymooners as well :).

You watch clips from the Lost Episodes and answer questions about each clip. It's fun to play with a lot of people.

Very interesting. So it's based on the Lost Episodes. I don't think I would do very well playing this game because I haven't seen all of the shows. :(

It doesn't matter if you've seen all the shows or not. Like I said, it shows clips from different Lost Episodes and after each clip is over, you pause the tape and then you have to answer a few questions about the clip you just watched. For example, it might ask you how Norton entered the Kramden's apartment in the clip you just watched (the door, the window, etc.) so you really have to pay attention to the small details when watching each clip.

Thanks for the clarification. I definitely will be buying the game now. :)

Could someone give me a little info about this--I just bought a cd off Ebay called "The Second Banana Symphony" here's the information & the songs on it. ----

The Second Banana Symphony collects 20 rare, original recordings from the 1950's top side- and straight-men. During the '50s and into the '60s, Red Buttons, Art Carney and Morey Amsterdam were fixtures on CBS television programs. No wonder Columbia Records put them all into the studio at various times. Red Buttons was the ex-burlesque comic who became featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1953. Art Carney sang with Horace Heidt before becoming Jackie Gleason's foil. Here, he's part singer, part Norton on ten memorable tracks. A couple of novelty winners from Morey Amsterdam round out a collection that'll tickle your funny bone with musical comedy.
1)Strange Things Are Happening (Ho Ho Hee Hee Ha Ha) Red Buttons #15 hit released 5/9/53.
2)The Ho Ho Song -Red Buttons #9 hit released 5/2/53.
3)Oh! My Mother In Law- Red Buttons
4)The Buttons' Bounce -Red Buttons
5)Daniel, The Cocker Spaniel -Red Buttons
6)Swedish Rhapsody -Red Buttons
7)Practice, Darling, Practice -Red Buttons
8)My Mother's Lullaby -Red Buttons
9)Cheese And Crackers -Morey Amsterdam
10)Calliope Pete -Morey Amsterdam
11)Song Of The Sewer -Art Carney
12)Va Va Va Voom -Art Carney
13)That's Falling In Love -Art Carney
14)I'm Just A Vagabond Lover -Art Carney
15)Sheesh, What A Grouch! -Art Carney
16)She Never Left The Table -Art Carney
17)The New Face On The Barroom Floor -Art Carney
18)A Little Beauty- Art Carney
19)The Silly Signs Song- Art Carney
20)Oh Boy! (Ain't It Great To Be Crazy)- Art Carney

I have "Song Of The Sewer," "Va Va Va Voom," "Sheesh, What A Grouch!" On the "Its Honeymooner Time" record but I've never heard of the others listed. Has anyone heard them?

[W.B.]

I've got the original "Song of the Sewer" on both 78 (Columbia #40242) and 45 (#4-40242). The orchestra conductor on that and its flip, "Va Va Va Voom," was one Sid Feller who would later become famous for his association with Ray Charles.

Sid Feller also did the musical arrangements for Gleason's AMERICAN SCENE MAGAZINE. I don't believe he did all 4 seasons, I think just the 2 NY years.

Very likely, as by the time Jackie went to Florida I think that capacity fell to one Deane Kincaide.

I saw the 45 (#4-40242) on E-Bay yesterday and it was listed as being in poor condition. There was only one bid on it for $2.00. What condition are your records in?

Let's just say, better than that.

Great! Eventually I plan to start collecting Jackie Gleason albums so it's nice to know that there are others on this message board who have already started their collections. :)
