Honeymooners TV Schedule (6/6-6/14): - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Frank Gannucci · 06-03-2015, 05:11 PM

Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden. Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. Art Carney as Ed Norton. Joyce Randolph as Trixie Norton.

(WPIX) & (WPIX HD (aka CWHD))

(CC?)

All times are Eastern.

Note: Yes, I noticed that the episodes are exactly the same as two weeks ago, but I got this listings info from tvguide.com. Tvguide.com says that the "$99,000 Answer" & "Ralph Kramden Inc." will air this Saturday. The site didn't have any other info. on the other episodes, so I am assuming the episodes that I have typed are the ones that will air.

I am so sorry if I made a mistake with my last schedule. Tvguide.com had NO information on any of the episodes that aired on WPIX for the last two weeks on May. Keep in mind, I am in Florida and I don't get WPIX, so I can't access their schedule on my TV and I am assuming that if Tvguide.com had no information, no other sites would.

Sat. June 56, 2015 11p #018 (aka #126) - "The $99,000 Answer": Ralph Kramden's get-rich-quick schemes were a Honeymooners staple, but the pipe dream in "The $99,000 Answer"---which originally aired Jan. 28, 1956---may be the funniest. Convinced that he'll triumph on a quiz show, popular-music expert Ralph (Jackie Gleason) intensely prepares at home, aided by piano-playing pal Norton (Art Carney), who warms up for each song with a few bars of a familiar Stephen Foster melody. Of course, the second he's on live TV, Ralph's bravado vanishes. Going into the classic Kramden meltdown---the eyes bugging, the lips quivering, the tongue stuttering "hummina-hummina"---he's asked, for his first question, to identify the composer of "Swanee River." DON'T MISS - - Norton's introduction to every song on the piano.

11:30p #019 (aka #127) - "Ralph Kramden Inc.": Ralph needs a loan from Norton, so he sells him a share of his future earnings as a corporation---Ralph Kramden, Inc. It's another con job by Ralph, of course, until he learns that an old woman with a $40 million estate died and left him in her will. That's enough for Norton, as an officer in the corporation, to remind Ralph about one "small detail"---that they need to bring a suitcase to the reading of the will to carry home the $40 million.

Sat. June 13, 2015 11p #020 (aka #128) - "Young At Heart": Ralph wants to prove to Alice that he's still young at heart by learning dances like the Big Apple and the Suzie Q., which prompts Norton to ask: "How can anyone so round be so square?" But he's still determined, so the Kramdens and the Nortons decide to make a night of it by going roller-skating. Ralph on wheels at the rink makes for one of the series' classic scenes. Another has Norton teaching Ralph how to do the Hucklebuck.

11:30p #021 (aka #129) - "A Dog's Life": Ralph gets another one of his half-baked ideas after he samples a tasty dish he found in his ice box in "A Dog's Life," which was originally telecast Feb. 18, 1956. Convinced that the unusual cracker-spread will satisfy the public's appetite for a snack that's new and different, Ralph asks his boss, Mr. Marshall, to taste the dish in the hope that he'll bankroll production. Ralph's even cooked up a name for the culinary delight: "KramMar's Delicious Mystery Appetizer." Marshall tries it and likes it, and asks Ralph if the recipe is exclusively his wife's or if Alice's mother helped out. "Anything she'd cook I wouldn't give to a dog," Ralph replies. But Marshall wants some other opinions, so he calls in his assistants for another taste test. After two of the assistants reveal the food to be dog food, Ralph is convinced that Alice got a dog and tries to put it back in the pound...only to fall in love with it and take possession of the other dogs who were over their respective limits and were going to be killed.

Sun. June 14, 2015, 11p #022 (aka #130) - "Here Comes The Bride": On the eve of his lodge brother Stanley's marriage to Alice's sister, Ralph---the self-proclaimed "king of [his] castle"---gives his future brother-in-law marital advice. Furious that Stanley has agreed to live with Alice's parents, Ralph instructs him to put his foot down. "I don't want to argue," he tells Ralph, prompting Norton to reply: "If you don't want to argue, what are you getting married for?"

11:30p #023 (aka #131) - "Mama Loves Mambo": A dance teacher moves into the building and has all the husbands kicking up a fuss. Ralph and Norton had the idea that Carlos Sanchez was an old man who might like to relax with a game of checkers. He's not---bachelor Carlos is suave and handsome, and worse, is giving their wives mambo lessons in the Kramdens' apartment. Sanchez: Charles Korvin.

Is this show airing anywhere other than New York? I love The Honeymooners but never get to see it. It was on MeTV for a short while at an hour that was too late for me to watch, now I don't know where to see it unless I plop down some money for DVDs.

Frank Gannucci · 06-05-2015, 07:06 AM

It seems like it only airs in NY due to its age and it probably isn't as popular as some other shows.

This is one of television's greatest classics. I don't see how it could be forgotten. It was a big deal in the '80s when the "lost episodes" were discovered. I always thought this show still had a huge fan base. Lucy and Beaver and Andy Griffith are still seen regularly on TV. "The Great One" should be, too. I can understand how shows like My Little Margie aren't aired, but Jackie Gleason, one of the biggest, most iconic stars in television history???

Frank Gannucci · 06-06-2015, 08:05 AM

I get what your saying but I guess other stations feel like the show isn't or ain't going to pull in the advertising dollars for them. Apparantly I think even MeTV thinks this too.

Maybe part of the problem is only having 39 episodes? I remember after the lost episodes were found, they began including them as part of the syndication package, but they were all kinescopes so of very inferior quality. So it's either have only 39 episodes, or supplement them with washed-out kinescopes. Does the New York station include them or just run the "Classic 39"?

Frank Gannucci · 06-07-2015, 07:02 AM

Unfortunately right now, only the 39. Me and Bill S. We're talking about this and I thoguht we assumed that the Classic 39 Blue Ray set has something to do with the fact that the lost episodes are not being shown anywhere.

The lack of Honeymooners on other stations has been prevalent long before the blue ray set was announced.

I think maybe there's a Catch 22. Those lost episodes are likely to repel new viewers rather than attract them because the visual quality is so bad. It's difficult enough to get a young person to tune into black and white, even more so grainy black and white. And as for the seasoned viewers, they get tired of seeing the same 39 repeated over and over again. So what do you do? Wouldn't it be great if a technology were created that could turn those grainy images into sharp images?

Frank Gannucci · 06-09-2015, 11:04 PM

Oh, but of course. I would love it if we had technology like that.

Also, one thing about the lost episodes is that since they are kinoscopes, they are impossible for them to be put in HD (colorization is possible. I would love to see Ed Norton's apartment in color from the '54 version of "Love Letter" as well as Ralph's crazy wallpaper from "Principal of The Thing". I want to see how gaudy Ed's place was as well as the wallpaper.)
