Vote for Pedro? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In one episode that I saw recently, Norton was holding up a "Vote for Pedro" sign - does anybody know which episode that is, or how I can find out? It's obviously an inspiration for Napoleon Dynamite!

You must be kidding! Art Carney died before Napoleon Dynamite was released. Besides that, there was never a Honeymooners episode that made any reference to that. The show ended many years ago!

I guess you didn't understand my post. I said that Honeymooners was inspiration for Napoleon Dynamite - not the other way around! Does anybody else know what Honeymooners episode that was in?

You're probably referencing to "The Honeymooners" movie, not the TV series which would mention something like that. I could be right/wrong though. I'll have to watch the "Classic 39" series to see.

No, I saw it on the original show. Norton (Art Carney) was in Kramden's (Jackie Gleason's) apartment, holding up a "Vote for Pedro" sign saying. Does anybody believe me????

Was it in the "Classic 39" series or "The Lost Episodes" packages?

OK. I think I understand what you are asking. I don't recall any episode where Norton is holding up a sign that says that. That does not mean it did not happen. My guess is it could have been an episode when there was an election for Raccoon positions. It could be just a coincidence, though.

Could it have possibly been in one of the color episodes, namely 1969's "The Sun and Raccoon Capital"?
