The Honeymooners - Classic 39 Episodes Blu-ray Review

[TJ]

The Honeymooners is going to the moon (and to Blu-ray) with the CBS release of The Honeymooners - Classic 39 Episodes on Blu-ray Disc! The five disc set contains the one and only season of the classic Jackie Gleason sitcom, restored in high-definition and with some new special features.

Of course, The Honeymooners actually began as a series of skit of Jackie Gleason's previous series, The Jackie Gleason Show. In 1955, The Honeymooners became a standalone series that lasted for about 27 minutes each week. The difficulty of maintaining a weekly sitcom, though, simply wasn't for Gleason, so the series only lasted one season, and after that season was finished, the characters went back to being sketches on The Jackie Gleason Show. Many of the sketches of The Honeymooners from The Jackie Gleason Show have been released in a lost episodes collection from MPI, but the best known episodes of The Honeymooners are the ones from the actual season that the regular series aired, all 39 of which are included in this collection.

Sounds good but, I already have the original 39 and can't justify buying another set even if it is on blu-ray.
