Has anybody seen this opening from "The Honeymooners: Lost Episodes"? This is a unique picture of the animated opening from that show when it was first aired on Showtime back in the mid-80's. By now, WPIX and other syndicated channels was cut the animated "Lost Episodes" opening by replacing it with a normal "Classic 39" opening. This is the picture that you will never see it again in this opening back in the 1980's. The normal opening for both the "Classic 39" and "Lost" episodes could be found on this link:

Brain Damage, here are those 9 screenshots of the opening of the "Lost" episodes. Before WPIX aired these "Lost" episodes, the cartoon opening was replaced by "Classic 39" opening. Just follow along. Enjoy! By the way! The ending of the "Lost" episodes has a 1985 credits on it with either a normal "Classic 39" ending music or a different ending theme music by a different arrangement.

One of the DVD's for the Lost Episodes uses this animated opening as a bridge between two of the episodes. I think it's Volume 2 but I'm not certian. I was curious as to where this came from. I thought maybe it was made special for the DVD. Thanks for the info.

Brian Damage, has anybody checked the link to see the normal "Classic 39" opening used for the "Lost Episodes"?

Yup, that opening was created by Viacom/Showtime for cable-TV use.....I was surprised to see it end up on one of the volumes that was released

The same exact opening was used on "The Honeymooners" Classic 39 DVD's.

it's the same opening for the Lost Episodes that aired on Showtime in the 80's. The Honeymooners VCR game has it at the beginning of the tape. You can always find them cheap on Ebay.

I don't have the VCR game. I saw the original opening from the "Classic 39" DVD's which is quite the same as the "Lost Episodes" that it was shown on WPIX.
