Ralph Kramden was always coming up with ways to strike it rich. The idea was to make a lot of money easily and without having to work hard. From the countless schemes that Ralph came up with which one was your favorite? The one I like the best is the mystery appetizer.

I'd have to go with the hotel him and Norton bought in "Brother-In-Law," only Ralph Kramden could manage to cheat his wife's brother out of an unsuccessful scheme to make money. The hair-restoring tonic in "Hair-Raising Tale" is another good one. Oh, and who could forget the infamous No-Cal Pizza scheme? Even though we never got to see that one, Alice never let Ralph or us hear the end of it.

I have to go with the classic "Better Living Through TV" them trying to sell the "Handy Housewife Helper" was great. Oh & "Finders Keepers" when they try to come up with the money for the candy shop

them looking for the thousand dollar bill at the AutoMat was hilarious. "Hello, can I have thirty dollars worth of nickels"-Norton

great stuff.

I liked the episode where Gleason and Carney decided to go into the hair restoration business and got conned by a con artist and Gleason's boss's hair fell out.

You bring up a good point about the No-Cal Pizza scheme. I wish they had an episode that showed that one. I would like to have seen how that played out.

"Finders Keepers" is my second favorite scheme. I agree with you, that episode is hilarious and I think Norton's line "Hello, can I have thirty dollars worth of nickels" is one of the funniest things he has ever said.

That episode is definitely in the top ten of the greatest schemes of Ralph.

Wow! That would be great if one day they discovered a lost episode that had the same plot as "No-Cal Pizza".

Yeah it would be great, but like I said, it's pretty unlikely at this point. We may, however, get to see the sketch that the joke originated from. Only time will tell...

How about that time Ralf found that suite case of money on the bus, and instead listening to Alice's warning as usally, did what he wanted to do. So he took the money and bought all that stuff like a rich man! Norton being his shoffer, cashmare bowling ball bag. Man what a nut!!!

That's a very hilarious episode especially when Ralph tells Norton to point the car towards Mexico(if I remember that line correctly).
