Ralph belittles his wife at every opportunity (they both do), she cow tows to him, the two men act like morons with an IQ of 10, he throws his weight around and screams endlessly like a wailing idiot. All of this behavior was shocking to me unlike any I had ever seen before and would never tolerate in real life. I was revolted and disgusted by the whole thing.
AHHH but Alice & Trixie usually won!!

How true. Sgoldie doesn't see the humor within the show. I guess Sgoldie was no fan of another COMEDY with a similar husband, Married with Children. Another show with great writers.

The reason for 39 episodes is the Honeymooners lost a ratings battle with Perry Como and Gleason folded the show. If it had continued it probably would have faded and not be the cult favorite it is today.

After 4 1/2 minutes of ripping Ralph about this and that, Mom and Alice talks about a movie that Ralph had planned on seeing. And mom spills the beans about how the film ends. The timer goes off, Ralph has proven his point, looks at Alice's mom and says YOU-are a blabbermouth. A BLABBERMOUTH!!!! YOU! BLABBERMOUTH!!!! OUT! GET OUT!!! OUT!! (or something like that).

This is another one of my favs. That striped outfit that Ralph had on when they all went roller skating was horrendous!

Does anyone remember the episode when a new neighbor moves in, i think his name was Fernando, and he teaches the men how to do the Mambo?!
