Apparently this was the first episode of The Honeymooners (1955-56), not to be confused with The Jackie Gleason Show (1952-53), though the earlier series featured many of the same characters, (Ralph Kramden, et al.).
This initial 30-minutes is a hoot, showing why the series is in endless reruns. Ralph's too cheap to buy a TV, even though poor long-suffering Alice pleads for one. So, finally shamed, Ralph gets Norton to pitch in on the purchase price and share the viewing. Of course, that leads to viewing conflicts, mainly because Video Ranger Norton insists on watching his commander, Captain Video (1949-55), any time, all the time. What's more he's got to have his ridiculous space helmet in place, thus looking like some loopy deep sea diver. Needless to say, Ralph's beside himself.
All the elements of the classic series are in place in this first installment. Namely, a wildly bellowing Ralph, a sturdy deadpan Alice, a nutty neighbor Norton, and a steadfast Trixie. Then too, mustn't forget that shrewdly bare-bones apartment where nothing distracts from the comedic antics. It's almost like a stage show, but without the stage. At the same time, the story typically revolves around one of Ralph's misbegotten schemes that has to include Norton. Meanwhile, Alice has to endure it all as the unflappable voice of reason. In short, the framework's already rolling out for one of TV's most enduring and beloved series.
