“After so many years, it’s an honor to be able to bring these great examples of classic television back to the small screen,” says Meli, a 25-year cable veteran, most recently with National Geographic Channels International.

Marilyn Gleason, widow of the legendary entertainer, and actress Jane Kean, who played “Trixie” in the later, color versions of “The Honeymooners,” are expected in Hollywood to herald the TV encore.

“The Honeymooners” debuted in 1951 and quickly became an enduring series of 39 black and white, half-hour shows.

(Note: Marilyn Gleason, Jane Kean, Nick Clooney available for interviews)

:lol:

Finally they will air. Wish I can watch. Halmark backed out last time, wonder if Goodlife will keep their promise, which I'm sure they will. Interesting that this release was suppose to be released on Tuesday, meaning it was released 5 days earlier!

damn!! I wish I could see them! Oh well, let's just hope that TV LAND shows them sometime.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Maybe they will turn up on PBS eventually.

Boomer-targeted Goodlife Television Network is scheduling a six-show marathon of color episodes of The Color Honeymooners as its Labor Day weekend tribute to "hard-working Americans."

The episodes have been slated for Sept. 1, 7 p.m.-1 a.m.
