I want everything Honeymooners on DVD. Here's what I have...
The Classic 39 Honeymooners
Pre-Ordered The Four Volumes of The Color Honeymooners
Pre-Ordered The Three Honeymooners Specials
Pre-Ordered The Complete Restored Lost Episodes Collection
What else do I need and what's missing from DVD?
Thanks.

I should let people know I didn't mean to type "Pre-Ordered" for the Color Honeymooners and Specials. It's just that I ordered them from Amazon today and so I don't physically have them in my collection. I've ordered them, not pre-ordered them.

Look for the MPI-released "Jackie Gleason: Genius At Work" DVD. This is a PBS show from a few years ago and it features Honeymooners and non-Honeymooners skits of Gleason's from his variety show, as well as a "bonus" episode of The Jackie Gleason Show, though edited to death but still worth having.

Did A&E ever do a special on Jackie Gleason?

Yes, but it's only been released on VHS. You can buy a used copy on Amazon pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Biography-Jackie-Gleason-Great-One/dp/B000067J7B/ref=sr_1_5?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1312927611&sr=1-5

Thanks for the information! I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly that I saw a Jackie Gleason special on A&E. It's interesting that they have decided to make it available on VHS only.

Another Honeymooners-related item worth picking up is the Dean Martin roast of Jackie Gleason, featuring appearances from Art Carney, Audrey Meadows, Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean (but not Joyce "Randolf" as the packaging will have you believe): http://www.amazon.com/Garrison-Presents-Martin-Celebrity-Roasts/dp/B000EOIYNW/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1312928612&sr=1-2

This is something I would definitely buy. Thanks for posting the link!
