Honeymooners Video Showcase

The Honeymooners made their first televised appearance in Jackie Gleason's first variety series, the Cavalcade of Stars, on October 5, 1951. It was a live broadcast on the DuMont Network. It ran for 39 episodes, all of them available on dvd.

If Honeymooners episodes were buried in a time capsule and dug up in 500 years, historians would have a diary describing how the working class felt about life in the big city in the middle of the 20th century. And it would still be funny.
