Mon. April 16, 2012 5a #58 (aka #48/#50) - “‘Norton Moves In’/‘Dinner Guest’”: (For “Norton Moves In”): The Nortons move in with the Kramdens while their apartment is being painted. Trixie and Alice take the bedroom, while Norton and Ralph attempt to sleep on a cot in the kitchen. (For “Dinner Guest”): Ralph invites a man from the bus company to dinner so he can discuss promotion. There's only one problem -every time Ralph attempts to mention the promotion Alice changes the subject.

10:30p #001 (aka #109) - "TV or Not TV": Ralph and Norton go partners on a new TV, but Ralph rigs a coin toss so the set stays in the Kramden apartment. It's not long before Ralph becomes a total zombie to the new medium, and all Norton wants to do is don his space helmet and watch "Captain Video."

Tue. April 17, 2012 5a #59 (aka #102) - *“One Big Happy Family”: In an effort to save money, Ralph and Ed decide to share an apartment. But life is not so sweet with Ralph and Alice and Ed and Trixie all under the same roof.

10:30p #002 (aka #110) - "Funny Money": Ralph finds a suitcase filled with money, enough, Norton says, to "keep him in pizza for the rest of his life."

Wed. April 18, 2012 5a #60 (aka #75) - *“Man in the Blue Suit”: Ralph wins big at poker and hides it in an old suit so Alice won't find out how much he has won. Alice gives the suit to charity.

10:30p #003 (aka #111) - "The Golfer": Hello, ball! That memorable salutation---delivered by Norton (Art Carney) as he shows the proper way to "address the ball"---has made "The Golfer" (first aired on Oct. 15, 1955) a favorite in the series canon. Ralph's trying to impress his boss by offering to join him in a foursome. Problem is, Ralph's never picked up a club in his life and learning to play in two days, he concedes, won't be easy---"It'd take me at least a week." That doesn't stop him from turning his kitchen into a fairway, using a pin cushion as a ball and, unforgettably, getting into the mood by donning an outlandish golfing outfit that is, to quote Norton, "dee-vine." DON'T MISS – Ed addressing the ball.

Thu. April 19, 2012 5a #61 (aka #152/#33) – “‘Goodnight Sweet Prince’/‘Jellybeans’”: (For “Goodnight Sweet Prince”): When Ralph gets night shift duty he finds it impossible to sleep during the day. Everyone in the neighborhood gives him advice on sleeping, which only makes Ralph more nervous and irritable. (For “Jellybeans”): Ralph loses Alice's dress money when he schemes to win a jellybean contest.

10:30p #004 (aka #112) - "A Woman's Work Is Never Done": Tired of Ralph's complaints about household chores not being done, Alice convinces him to hire a maid. But the new domestic is rapidly getting fed up taking orders from Norton and Ralph, or as she calls them, "the simp and the blimp." Thelma: Betty Garde. Wilson: Frank Marth.

Fri. April 20, 2012 5a #64 (aka #76) – *“Hair-Raising Tale”: Ralph is tricked into buying a new hair growth formula. He and Norton proceed to test the new treatment on Ralph's boss.

10:30p #005 (aka #113) - "A Matter of Life & Death": Ralph gets the idea in his head that he has six months to live, so he decides to sell his story to a magazine. But when he learns it's all a mistake and that he can be prosecuted for fraud, he enlists Norton to pose as a doctor ("don't touch me, I'm sterile") who can cure him of the dreaded "arterial monochromia." Publisher: George Petrie.

Mon. April 23, 2012 5a #62 (aka #95) – “Cupid (Part One)”: When Ralph meets an old classmate who is still single, he begins to call single women in the neighborhood to get him a date. Alice and Trixie think Ralph is making the dates for himself.

10:30p #006 (aka #114) - "The Sleepwalker": Norton's sleepwalking becomes a waking nightmare for Ralph, who can't get any sleep because he's been asked to keep his pal from wandering off on late-night strolls around the neighborhood. Doctor: George Petrie.

10:30p #007 (aka #115) - "Better Living Through TV": In a classic episode, Ralph and Norton go on live TV in an attempt to sell the Handy Housewife Helper. The inspired (and ad-lib laden) "Better Living Through TV" (originally telecast Nov. 12, 1955) finds Ralph talking Norton into buying TV time so the two of them can go on the air and sell 2000 of the kitchen gadgets. The idea is for "Chef of the Future" Ralph to demonstrate to "Chef of the Past" Norton the many things the gizmo can do, such as open cans, remove corns and, of course, "core a apple." In the rehearsal, Ralph is the picture of calm, but as they prepare to go on the air, panic sets in and he warns a worrisome Ed: "Stop talking like that, nervous, you're going to get yourself all Norton." CLASSIC QUOTE - "Can it core a apple?"

Wed. April 25, 2012 10:30p #008 (aka #116) - "Pal O' Mine": A great friendship is strained after a ring t hat Norton had planned to give a co-worker winds up stuck on Ralph's finger. The episode concludes with a classic hospital scene that contains a memorable one-word ad-lib by Norton, who's saying good-bye to a doctor. Teddy Oberman: Ned Glass. Doctor: John Seymour. Nurse: Abbie Lewis.

Thu. April 26, 2012 5a #66 (aka #81) - *“Vacation at Fred's Landing” ('54 version): Alice and Trixie want to vacation in Atlantic City but Ralph and Ed insist on going camping. After one day in the wilderness, Ralph and Norton realize that the great outdoors isn't what they had hoped.

10:30p #009 (aka #117) - "Brother Ralph": A layoff at the bus company prompts Ralph and Alice to add up their total savings from all of their accounts ($12.83). That's reason enough for Alice to get a job, leaving Ralph to take care of the cooking and cleaning. But Ralph becomes really steamed after he discovers that her boss looks like a matinee idol---and that Alice told him that Ralph is her brother.

Fri. April 27, 2012 5a #69 (aka #150/#59) – “‘Forgot to Register’/‘Halloween Party’ ('53 version)”: (For “Forgot To Register”): Alice causes an argument when she tells Ralph she doesn't support the candidate he and Norton are campaigning for. (For “Halloween Party”): The Kramdens and the Nortons don costumes for the bus company Halloween party. At the last minute Ralph finds out that the party is really a formal affair for his boss.

10:30p #010 (aka #118) - "Hello Mom": Ralph and Alice Kramden (Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows) squabble over the impending arrival of Ralph's mother-in-law in this classic, and ultimately touching, episode. The king is told that his castle is soon to be invaded by Alice's mom. Ralph painfully remembers how his mother-in-law said at his wedding, "I'm not losing a daughter, I'm gaining a ton," and refuses to let her visit. But when Alice stands up to him and insists her mother's coming, Ralph decides to move in with the Nortons until the visit's over. Humor and poignancy meet in a conclusion that once again shows Alice, who sees beyond Ralph's insecurities, to be the bigger person.
