It has been great seeing these rare color honeymooners, it is done very much like a broadway play, it is very odd when the cast breaks out into song....Also many of the scripts are redone from the 50's "lost shows" & the classic 39! I have been taping them all....very cool to see!

I have Goodlife TV on my digital cable and I've never seen the color "Honeymooners" specials before in my whole life.

Can't wait too for those littte olsens on full house, these will be fun to see again, too bad that "two of a kind" never lasted more than one season! Thecolor moonies air on goodlife on the weekends at 9PM eastern.

I just happened to be flipping through the TV Guide today and saw that GoodLife was airing these color episodes. I had no idea that they were. How long have they been showing them? I hope they continue them for awhile so I can start taping and get the ones I missed.

Goodlife started running the Color Honeymooners over the summer, July I believe. 42 episodes will air and they're about half-way through with this first run.

What's even more interesting about the Color Honeymooners is the opening shot of the Miami Beach shoreline and the late Johnny Olson intoning "From the sun and fun capitol of the world, Miami Beach, we bring you The Jackie Gleason Show!"

It's also a treat to see the Honeymooners musicals for the first time in over 30 years.

Howli
Is that the same Johnny Olson who was the first announcer on THe Price is Right with young at heart Bob Barker?

I,m well aware of these color shows from Florida during the 1960s,but have never seen them before.I don,t know if I can get the Goodlife channell where I live.Do we get that channell in Canada?I would love to see the color Honeymmoners too.But chances are,Goodlife is only available in the USA.

Johnny Olson was the announcer on the "Jackie Gleason Show" before he became a game show announcer on the "Price Is Right", "What's My Line?" and my favorite show on GSN "Match Game".

Actually, Johnny Olsen was announcing for Jackie Gleason while doing the same duties for game shows "To Tell The Truth", "What's My Line?", "Match Game" and "Missing Links". Gleason would actually delay the start of taping his "American Scene Magazine" in NY while waiting for Olsen to arrive from finishing another show in another part of town. That's how popular Johnny Olsen was, and how well-respected.

I love Johnny Olson's announcer on my favorite show "Match Game" that he could say "Get ready to match the stars!!!"
