I found the 1977 Christmas special on YouTube a couple of days ago. I read in a previous thread that some people were looking for it. There is an interview with Jane Kean also. Looks like it has only been on YouTube since Christmas Eve. It was excellent. Lovely to see Jackie Gleason, Art Carney and Audrey Meadows back together. Hope this helps anyone who is interested.

Is that the storyline where Ralph tries to win the lottery? If so, than that's the 1978 special not the 1977 special. The 1978 special was released by MPI and had that interview with Jane as a bonus feature.

The 1977 special is or was on YouTube. I did see it. It must have been a master copy because that special only aired once. I have two copies of it (long story) and only one copy has the closing credits and in my copy with the credits, there is a voiceover ad where the one I watched on YouTube didn't.

This was the Christmas Carol play which Ralph directs for the wife of his boss and ends up becoming transport manager. He is also given a gift of a pregnant cat at the end. There were closing credits but no ad as far as I remember.

I wonder how long it would last if I posted that show to the YouTube? Less than one week? There's a dailymotion account with tons of honeymooners episodes that is still going strong.
I never did find the one with the curtain call.

I think everybody forgets about DailyMotion.
