The Honeymooners
1955-1956 | Comedy | USA | Created by Jackie Gleason
Overview
Ralph Kramden, Brooklyn bus driver, threats to the moon, and working class frustration as farce. Gleason filmed the classic 39 episodes, then the format lived on in musicals and revivals. Audrey Meadows as Alice was the first sitcom wife to win the arguments. To the moon, Alice. The template for the loud husband show and a direct ancestor of the Flintstones. Sparse set, dense comedy.
