Sat. Jan. 12, 2019 9p (aka #117) - "Hello Mom": Ralph and Alice Kramden (Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows) squabble over the impending arrival of Ralph's mother-in-law in this classic, and ultimately touching, episode. The king is told that his castle is soon to be invaded by Alice's mom. Ralph painfully remembers how his mother-in-law said at his wedding, "I'm not losing a daughter, I'm gaining a ton," and refuses to let her visit. But when Alice stands up to him and insists her mother's coming, Ralph decides to move in with the Nortons until the visit's over. Humor and poignancy meet in a conclusion that once again shows Alice, who sees beyond Ralph's insecurities, to be the bigger person.

9:30p #011 (aka #119) - "The Deciding Vote": Ralph's in a tight two-man election for the position of Raccoon convention manager and the deciding vote belongs to Norton. The episode contains a classic sight gag involving Ralph trying to clean a vacuum cleaner after it has failed "the oatmeal test."

11p #012 (aka #120) - "Something Fishy": "I catch the fish," Ralph tells Alice, "you cook the fish. The only time we're together is when we eat the fish." Alice, however, has other ideas about Ralph and his lodge brothers worming their way out of taking the wives on the annual fishing trip. Ralph and Norton are desperate, so they angle for a way to leave Alice and Trixie behind.

11:30p #013 (aka #121) - "'Twas The Night Before XMas": The Kramdens exchange presents in a Christmas episode with an O. Henry twist. Ralph is particularly proud of the gift he has for Alice: a hairpin box made of 2000 matchsticks that, he's been told, was smuggled from the palace of the Emperor of Japan. DON'T MISS - This classic retelling of "The Gift of the Magi."

Sat. Jan. 19, 2019 9p #014 (aka #122) - "The Man From Space": Intending to take home first prize at the Raccoon Lodge's costume ball, Ralph---unable to wangle a loan from Norton---puts together his own costume and dubs himself "The Man From Space" in a memorable episode that was originally telecast Dec. 31, 1955. Angry with Norton (who's going as the Frenchman who "built the sewers of Paris") and obsessed with winning, Ralph appropriates an assortment of household items---including a faucet, a pot, a radio tube and the icebox door---to create a costume that will, he says, make Norton's rented outfit look like "a piece of French cheesecloth." The episode contains a classic example of Jackie Gleason's gift for ad-libbing when, unexpectedly; a piece of Ralph's costume falls off. "Let me have that," he improvises to Alice. "That's my denaturizer."

9:30p #015 (aka #123) - "A Matter of Record": In "A Matter of Record" (originally telecast Jan. 7, 1956), Ralph surprises Alice with tickets to a hit Broadway mystery, but with her mother coming "all the way from Bensonhurst" for a visit, she won't go. " Where's Bensonhurst, in New Zealand or something?" Ralph snaps back, upset that Alice is forsaking him for a visit from his nemesis. "She won't be in this apartment three minutes before she starts an argument," Ralph says. With that, Alice's mother arrives and Ralph proceeds to set an alarm clock for three minutes. Sure enough, she quickly insults Ralph about his weight, chides Alice for not marrying "a good provider" and, as the final straw, spills the beans about the ending of the play. Just as the alarm clock rings, Ralph erupts ("You are a blabbermouth!") and throws his mother-in-law out. But Alice leaves with her, prompting Ralph to take Norton's suggestion and record an apology to Alice in hopes of winning her forgiveness.

11p #016 (aka #124) - "Oh My Aching Back": After telling Alice he was too tired to leave the apartment, Ralph---on the eve of his company physical---goes bowling, throws his back out and comes home hunched over, and looking, Norton says, like "the leaning tower of pizza."

11:30p #017 (aka #125) - "The Baby-sitter": Ralph signals his displeasure when he learns that Alice had a telephone installed in the apartment. Then later, when he calms down, he overhears a telephone conversation and thinks that she is having an affair.

This schedule is for some Decades stations due to the fact that some local stations in some markets may also broadcast the Honeymooners and they may take exception to Decades wanting to show the show as well as the fact they may want to show other shows.

Mon. Jan. 7, 2019 11p #58 (aka #47/#49) - “‘Norton Moves In’/‘Dinner Guest’”: (For “Norton Moves In”): The Nortons move in with the Kramdens while their apartment is being painted.

Mon. Jan. 14, 2019 11p #??? (aka #1/#5/#7) - "'Bread'/'Ralph Threatens To Leave'/'Ring Salesman' ('51)": In "Bread", Ralph and Alice Kramden argue over the fact there is no bread to go with Ralph's dinner. In "Ralph Threatens to Leave", the vegetable meat loaf stirs Ralph up. Then in "Ring Salesman", Ralph is jealous of Joe the jeweler, who he believes Alice is having an affair with. Note: Pert Kelton plays Alice in these sketches.

Tue. Jan. 15, 2019 11p #??? (aka #2/#4/#6) - '"Razor Blades'/'New TV Set'/Alice & Ralph Get Dressed For A Date Last Night'": "In "Razor Blades", Ralph can't find his razor blades. In "New Television Set", Ralph finally buys a TV. In "Alice and Ralph Get Dressed for a Date", Ralph and Alice fight before going out with the Nortons. Notes: Pert Kelton plays Alice in these sketches. Elaine Stritch plays Trixie in "New TV Set."

Wed. Jan. 16, 2019 11p #??? (#28/#26) - "'Lost Baby'/'The Turkey'" "In "The Lost Baby", Ralph and Ed find a baby at the bus stop. In "The Turkey", Alice misplaces her wedding ring."

In "Manager of the Baseball Team", Ralph mistakenly confuses a promotion with an appointment to be baseball manager. Notes: Pert Kelton
may play Alice in these sketches. Also I highly doubt that the lost 1952 version is going to air because if it did, wouldn't we all know by now that this episode was found?

Fri. Jan. 18, 2019 11p #??? (#30 or #86/#27 or #57) - "'Halloween Party' (aka "Masquarade") ('52) or 'Halloween Party For The Boss' ('54)/'Sprained Thumb' ('52 or '53)" -"In "Halloween party", Ralph ruins his tuxedo for a Halloween party, not realizing that it's not a costume party. In "The Sprained Thumb", Ralph's sprained thumb drives Audrey crazy." Notes: I highly doubt that Halloween Party For The Boss and the '52 version (the unreleased version) of Sprained Thumb will air because if they did, wouldn't we all know by now that they were found?

*: This episode is HEAVILY EDITED.
