Episode #24
TV: Attached to "Manager of The Baseball Team" (1953 version.)
VCR: Attached to "My Fair Landlord."
DVD: Attached to "Songs & Witty Sayings" & "Norton Moves In."
The episode opens up with Ralph going crazy looking for his Income Tax form. He also said he went over one form svereal times before finding out that it was an old bowling score. Ha!
He and Alice eventually sit down to try to do the Income Tax form. Ralph reads the instructions. Alice asks Ralph if he knows what to do. Ralph says he doesn't know what the instructions are much like in "The Worry Wart" where Ralph reads the "Penalty For Failure to Report Income" section.
After Ralph reads some of the instructions, Alice says an idiot can figure that out. Ralph: "Don't worry. I'll get it." Basically, Ralph just admitted that he's beyond an idiot. Ha!
Ed Norton comes down. He says he just got Trixie a gift that proves that he still loves her. You know what it is? A new broom. Ha. Ralph tells Ed how much of a hard time he is having by doing his Income Tax form. Ed: "Maybe you'll get phenomena by March 15th." Originally, I thought that Art made an error, but I later found out that back then Income Tax Day was on March 15, not April 15. Ralph wonders why. Ed says that is the best time to catch that sickness. After that, Ed leaves.
Ralph and Alice go over the form some more. Ralph reads over all the
insurance about injuries and such. Alice says that he hasn't experienced any of them. Ralph: "I guess I am the unluckiestguy in the world." Ralph talks about the how costs are going up. Alice counters by saying that the cost of milk is going down. Ralph: "That's true, but has the cow said that milk is going down? No."
Finally, Ralph has figured that he owes $15 but he is planning on using that $15 to buy a new bowling ball. A priest comes by and asks for some money. Ralph gives him the $15. Ralph then goes on to make a speech saying how great a country America is.
Episode #25
TV: Attached to "Two-Family Car".
VCR: Attached to "Hot Dog Stand."
DVD: Attached to "Principle of The Thing" & "Glow Worm Cleaning."
This episode was the first episode that was remade into a longer later on in the show. The remake for this one was a "two-part" episode called "Goodbye Aunt Ethel." A longer and much funnier episode.
The episode opens with Alice coming into the kitchen. Ralph is sleeping in the kitchen on a cot. Ralph is very angry that Alice's Aunt Ethel is staying over. Aice tries to get the milk that is on the fire escape. Ralph wonders what the noise is so Alice told him that she is trying to open the window to give milk to Aunt Ethel. Ralph: "Where is she, on the ledge?" Ralph then is told that the milk is outside. He offers to get the milk. Ralph tries to get the milk, but the window is stuck. He says if he lifts up the window any higher, he will lift the building off the ground. Ha! He tries to get the milk, but accidentally knocks the milk off the escape. Ralph says that Aunt Ethel should go down there and get the milk.
Aunt Ethel comes out and Alice tells her that breakfast is ready. Alice tells Ralph to go down to Krauss to get some milk. Ralph says no. Ralph asks Alice to get rid of Aunt Ethel. Alice says that Aunt Ethel has stayed longer than expected and she says that she appreciates the fact that Ralph has been cooperative. Alice says she will nicely try to get rid of Aunt Ethel. Aunt Ethel comes in and helps Ralph fold up the cot. Ralph gets his finger stuck. Ralph (to Aunt Ethel): "Drop your side." She does, but Ralph hurts his foot. This scene would be repeated again in "Goodbye Aunt Ethel" & probably "Battle of The Sexes" with Ed Norton and Ralph Kramden folding up the cot.
Ed Norton comes down. Ralph explains his troubles to him. Ed says something like: "Why don't you write a letter, saying: 'Your husband misses you. Please come home. Sincerely, Your Husband.'" Ralph: "She ain't married." Ed: "Then why did she leave home?" Ha!
Ed comes up with a plan to throw her out. Ed: "Why don't you yell out the window: 'Fire!'" Ralph: "Suppose other people hear it. They will think that it's a real fire." Ed: "Then you yell: 'Fire, Aunt Ethel.'" Ralph: "You are a mental case." Ralph hatches a plan to get rid of her by faking a back injury. Aunt Ethel comes in and hear the fact that Ralph has back pain. Ralph says that he needs to be alone with Alice and lay on a soft bed. Aunt Ethel says that now she is staying due to Ralph's pain. Aunt Ethel says that sleeping on a soft bed to get rid of back pain is a lot of modern fiddle faddle. She says that Ralph should sleep on a hard floor to get rid of back pain. Ralph is now even more upset being that he just blown a big opportunity in his eyes. Question: How can laying on a hard floor get rid of back pain? Wouldn't a soft bed be better?
