Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden. Art Carney as Ed Norton. Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. Joyce Randolph as Trixie Norton.
Sat. Nov. 24, 2007 3am #018 - "The $99,000 Answer": Ralph Kramden's get-rich-quick schemes were a Honeymooners staple, but the pipe dream in "The $99,000 Answer"---which originally aired Jan. 28, 1956---may be the funniest. Convinced that he'll triumph on a quiz show, popular-music expert Ralph (Jackie Gleason) intensely prepares at home, aided by piano-playing pal Norton (Art Carney), who warms up for each song with a few bars of a familiar Stephen Foster melody. Of course, the second he's on live TV, Ralph's bravado vanishes. Going into the classic Kramden meltdown---the eyes bugging, the lips quivering, the tongue stuttering "hummina-hummina"---he's asked, for his first question, to identify the composer of "Swanee River."
All the other times are Eastern.
(AmericanLife TV):
Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden. Art Carney as Ed Norton. Shelia MacRae as Alice Kramden. Jean Kean as Trixie Norton.
Fri. Nov. 16 10p & Sat. Nov. 17, 2007 12a #21 – “The People’s Choice”: Ralph becomes a hero for recognizing "Knuckles" Grogan from his newspaper picture and aiding in his arrest. Then Knuckles escapes and Ralph has to be the bait so the police can recapture him. Local politicians ask Ralph, on the strength of his heroism, to run for state assembly; he agrees, and campaigns vigorously, until he realizes that his sponsors are dishonest. And, at the big pre-election rally, he tells the voters the whole story. (VCR Plus Code for 11/16: 7790. For 11/17: 13158.)
Sat. Nov. 24, 2007 12a #22 – “Two For The Money”: Ralph, as treasurer of the Raccoon Lodge, has been entrusted with $500 in cash, which he loses at Dennehy's Bar, He plays a long shot at the tracks to replace the money, and his horse wins but he doesn't, because he tore up his ticket at the beginning of the race when it looked like he was going to lose. Fortunately, the money turns up right where Ralph left it--in the pocket of the Raccoons' Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler. (VCR Plus Code: 80878.)
(AmericanLife TV also has an OnDemand Service. The Color Honeymooners may be one of the shows that you can watch on that service.)

Ralph: "The only thing that is empty around here is your head."
"A Little Man Who Wasn't There Part 1":
Ed: "A doctor told me that I had a split-personality. I was two people. One was Ed Norton, the gay-carefree-man-about-town and the other Ed Norton was the sober serious-minded thinker."

"King of The Castle":
Ralph: "All the time, Trixie has been interrupting Ed's night's out by calling him on the phone and saying: 'Come home! Come home!' and all the time it is for nothing."
Alice: "This time, she wanted him over. Her mom was home."
Ralph: "That's the perfect reason for him not to come home."
