Is 'The Honeymooners' TV’s Most Realistic Representation of New York City???
The Honeymooners
The 1950s show is among the only New York television portrayals that doesn’t upgrade its characters’ apartment and living conditions. Ralph and Alice Kamden live in a tiny Bushwick apartment, while Ralph drives a bus to bring home money. The two struggle to get out of their hole in the wall and end up just getting by in it. The honeymooners are witty and sharp, which the city tends to require (or at least manufacture), but they see possibility in New York, so they don’t even question why they’re living a cramped, difficult life in a box in Brooklyn just for the proximity it affords them to the cultural center of the universe. Sound like any city folk you know? Verdict: Paying off loans in Bushwick, 1950s style. 4.5 out of 5.
