I don't remember exactly what he said, but he thought Carney had great comedic timing. GARFIELDKOOL 08-25-2005, 10:46 AM I know for a fact The Honeymooners is his all-time favorite show. JeffRuss1972 08-25-2005, 08:09 PM I could see that. The Honeymooners is one of my favorites too. Now that I think about it, the interactions between James and JJ kind of remind me of Jackie Gleason/Art Carney. Not sure why. I guess because JJ kept James exasperated and didn't take life very serious.
