This certainly requires careful thought but as a quick comment I would say I always thought that some of the lines that were said in the Honeeymooners were definitely risque. VIDEOWACK 01-18-2007, 10:01 PM How about the scene in the color episode, "MEXICAN HAT TRICK" where they are in a Mexican gift shop and Ralph tries on a sombrerro. He puts it on and says to Ed, "Well Norton, what do you think...do I look like a gay caballero?" Norton's reply: "I dunno, let me see you walk!". Granted that was 1969, but the word "gay" wasn't being used much in prime time TV and that's one that they got away with too! I guess Gleason had no problem going with it.

I never saw that episode but by your description it sounds very funny. :lol: |
