This page is for The Honeymooners, the television series. For the 2005 film, see The Honeymooners (2005 film).

The Honeymooners, a 1950s half-hour television situation comedy spun from a series of working-class skits that featured on Jackie Gleason's hit CBS variety series, became one of America's most beloved, enduring, and imitated television comedies—after its single season of life as a separately-produced series. Possibly the most easily-forgotten fact about the show is that it was not a big ratings hit in its only in-production season (19551956), and that only when it began to appear in syndicated reruns almost a decade later—concurrent to Gleason reviving the skits on the 1960s version of his variety show—did The Honeymooners begin to earn their due and immortality.

History


In the early 1950s, Jackie Gleason hosted a variety show, originally titled Cavalcade of Stars on the DuMont Television Network, before moving to CBS in 1952 as The Jackie Gleason Show. The versatile, rotund comedian was already renowned for his clever recurring characters, but the most popular proved to be himself as a blustery Brooklyn bus driver named Ralph Kramden, who was always devising one or another scheme to get rich quick, aided and abetted by his dim-witted, sewer worker pal Ed Norton, played by Art Carney.
