Two Honeymooner Bloopers, One New, Old Somewhat Old. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Again to repost my first bloop from The Babysitter, Alice just got in a new phone and around when Ralph is yelling at her, after saying that phone is for you you you, Norton calls, but how, Alice never gave Trixie the phone number to give Norton?

Also, I just saw yesterday in Something Fishy, they are voting whether or not to take the wives on the fishing trip, the first time they vote no, Ralph is looking towards the president with Norton behind him, then during the second vote of bring the wives, he looks towards everyone, and says to Norton, why are you voting twice? He was turned around during the first vote, how could he have possibly have seen Norton's first vote? Is there a mirror in front or something?

You bring up an interesting point. I had never thought about that before.

RedPenguin · 07-08-2007, 04:45 PM

Yeah, I seen that often, but never really pieced it together, the one in Something Fishy, the Babysitter I knew for a little while. Those are two of my most favorite episodes of The Honeymooners.

I love Suspense, just wish it could have been more then 10 minutes. I love how Ralph's eyes go when he thinks he is going to be murdered and there conversation how he thinks Alice and her family are going to celebrate his murder, LoL.

I love his expression when she tells him "it's not that big of a deal"

. That's one of my favorite episodes as well.

Oh I see, The Babysitter was added.

I dont think the phone thing is a blooper. Norton could have call directory assistance, told them it was a new number and gotten it that way. Even though the phone was just hooked up, the number was issued and registered to Ralph's name prior to the installation. That is a common practice with the phone company.

As far as the voting goes, I would think that Ralph and Norton discussed it prior to the meeting and knew which way Norton was going to vote. Ralph was more surprised when he saw Norton vote the second time.

RedPenguin · 07-09-2007, 08:21 PM

Yeah, I thought that about the first blooper but didn't know if your number is in DA that quickly or not. The second one, I don't know if I can agree or disagree with it.

anyone ever notice that in the "lost episodes"; sometimes the Kramdens door opens from the right; sometimes from the left and sometimes it has a sliding bolt lock; other times it doesn't?

Well, I just watched "Something Fishy," and you're right, Ralph does have his back turned while Norton votes the first time. However, after the whole "Why are you voting twice?" argument, Ralph goes on to say, "As you know, for the last seven years, we have unanimously voted to keep the women off of the fishing trip," so that explains how he knew Norton voted the first time.

And of course, Ralph said "unanimously" as "unaminously."

For "The Babysitter", noone seems to notice that the phone number is right there on the phone. We notice this when Ralph is about to leave to call the phone and you see him looking at the phone and saying the phone number. Alot of phone(Just like phonebooth phones)come with the number already attached to the phone. Trixie probably got it by looking at it herself and then telling Norton.

RedPenguin · 07-31-2007, 04:02 AM

That's true, I never thought of that last one. I guess I am more used to the new generation of telephones, since I am only 19. I mean as far as I can remember, cordless phones were always out when I started knowing what the phone was and I never usually see any home phones with the number on them now, most payphones though still seem to have the number on them, but very few allow you to call them, I think I heard a while back, you could usually call other payphones.
