Baby, You're the Greatest

A tribute to the one of the greatest television shows of all time, The Honeymooners.

In our house we all love the classic tv show, The Honeymooners. It's one of my husband's favorite programs and he got me hooked.

My children grew up watching it and we all have fun saying the lines before the actors.

This is my tribute to what I feel is truly the greatest television program of all time.

The Honeymooners Intro

In stark contrast to the comedy to come every Honeymooner's episode began with the beautiful theme song, "You're My Greatest Love" by Jackie Gleason and Bill Templeton. Listen here.

If you've never seen the old black and white television show, The Honeymooners, you don't know what you are missing. The comedy and humor stand up so well that you can find this show's influences in nearly every comedy program or movie that has been made since this show first aired some 50 years ...

Ralph: You're a riot, Alice. You're a regular riot. Hope they like those jokes on the moon, 'cause that's where you're goin'.

Baby, You're the Greatest

I feel the enormous and everlasting success of this show is due to its reflection of true life and true love. No matter how bad things got, or how angry Ralph and Alice got at each other, love always prevailed.

The Honeymooners

wikipedia article

The Honeymooners debuted as a half-hour series on October 1, 1955. Although initially a ratings success-it was the #2 show in the United States-it faced stiff competition from the popular Perry Como Show. The show eventually dropped to #19, and production ended after 39 episodes (now referred to as the "Classic 39"). The final episode of The Honeymooners aired on September 22, 1956. Despite its relatively brief run, The Honeymooners is considered one of the premier examples of American television comedy. It has been referenced in numerous homages and parodies, and has inspired successful television comedies such as The Flintstones and The King of Queens.

No matter what crazy hair-brained scheme Ralph cooked up, his buddy Norton was always there to stand behind him. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the sign of true friendship.

Would You Watch It?

Sound off about the Honeymooners Here

If the Honeymooners was a new television program instead of over 50 years old, do you think it would still be successful?
Would you watch it? Would Ralph be considered a spousal abuser?

If the Honeymooners just came out today, would it be the huge success that it is?

Yes, funny is funny.

beniceable says:

always the great one!

SongDog says:

The Honeymooners is a classic~it never goes out of style!

KimGiancaterino says:

I think so. The show has stood the test of time. It was one of the best character driven comedies ever, and is still funny 50 years later.

rms says:

This program was made before I was born and I didn't even start watching it until I was a teenager, during the height of the woman's lib movement, and I still see the humor in it. I say funny is funny.

No way, it's time has past.

    Nice Honeymooners lens. I just created a Honeymooners lens, focusing on the autographs.

    I used to like The Honeymooners, but then I watched the biography of Jackie Gleason and that tainted it for me. I have since stopped watching biographies because whenever I do, I no longer like that person and it ruins everything they were in for me. I prefer to know noting about actors now.
