It will deal with clips of Gleason of his many TV characters such as Ralph Kramden, and Fenwick Babbit. Plus comments from his widow, Marilyn



email me if you are Interested at retrotv@msn.com Will be reocrded on VHS

It aired on PBS about a year ago. It's very nicely done. The producer is Craig Horwich, who is Jackie's stepson (Marilyn Gleason's son).

Yes it is really great! Loved the dance Jackie wrote for Marilyn to perform.

I was hoping that this would have been released on DVD (outside of the PBS pledges) by now -- maybe once the PBS contract to air this expires???

I hope so. When I watched it a year ago, Craig Horwich was the guest during the pledge break and said that the DVD has bonus footage of Gleason introducing the songs from the "And Away We Go" album.

Hearing about the bonus material makes me go back to my old mantra: re-release the lost episodes as they originally aired, in the Jackie Gleason show structure. Sponsor mentions, commercials, etc. can be edited out, but the actual framework of the show should stay.

Does anyone have this recorded? I haven't seen it and would love to. When was this recorded?
Thanks,
Charlie
