Did anybody catch the Honeymooners clip on the Late Show last night?: - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was watching David Letterman last night and when he was talking about Charlie Sheen's drinking problem and with his show being wildly popular, he said that networks are looking for something similar. So...they showed an "advertisement" for the Honeymooners on...TV Land (despite the fact that the network hasn't showed the Honeymooners since '03.) The clip was Ralph & Ed being "drunk" on grape juice.

I was watching the HD feed of CBS when I was watching this, but the Honeymooners clip was not in HD (CBS HD showed it with the black picture frame.) So since CBS hasn't put the show (or at least the CLassic 39) out in HD, other TV stations such as WPIX can't do it.

I saw it. I didn't think it was in very good taste. But then that's how I feel about most of Letterman's material.
