That is good news. Too bad there are no extras like Honeymooners sketches that we haven't seen before. Examples: the short Color sketches that the Gleason estate, for whatever reason, will not show to the masses.)

I wonder if the "Lost Episodes" disc will include the supposedly newly remastered versions of the skits that have been rumored to be happening. We know that some type of restoration is happening on some with UCLA being involved.

Also, with "Stand In For Murder" why include a show that has no ending unless 1) the monologue from the following week is included with Gleason explaining what happened after the network cut away (doubtful); or 2) the 1955 remake is being released (very doubtful).

The cover photo is nice as I had never seen that actual photo/pose from that publicity session before. I do like that!

I was wondering the same thing myself, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Well, it's been said many times that the show was cut short because there was so much laughter from the audience, so I guess it technically could be considered one of the funniest shows. Interesting choices either way.
