The Honeymooners (1955–1956)
10/10
The Honeymooners-A Match Forever Made in Heaven ****
9 December 2007
Jackie Gleason, as Ralph Kramden, the typical American bus driver, was positively sensational in the part. Ralph was a dreamer. He wanted the American dream and although it eluded him throughout life, his ways of trying to obtain it were memorable.

Alice Kramden, wonderfully realized by Audrey Meadows, was the realistic partner in their marriage. Though Ralph threatened to send her to the moon on many occasions, their love endured.

Art Carney portrayed Ed Norton. With his portrayal, we could look into the average sewer worker in this metropolis.

Those Kramden-Norton schemes to attain the American dream were memorable. Life was so well depicted by these comedic geniuses, whether it be schemes to make money, mother-in-law trouble, landlord trouble, or whatever, The Honeymooners was certainly an American classic.
