"To the moon, Edith, one of these days!"

Too bad most Farkers are way too young to remember.

FTFY, and in the process made your statement ironic.

Gotta nitpick, Jackie Gleason's character drove a bus. Art Carney's character was a sewer worker.

"I know that you know that I know. And you know that I know that you know that I know...."

I loved seeing the wall move every time the door to the apartment opened or closed.

Anyone still running those shows, or are they all "lost" at this point?

"Gleision"?

(note my login name, which is the only correct spelling, but Brendan Gleeson gets a pass because he's Mad Eye after all.)

WPIX in New York runs a marathon every New Years. They used to have the reruns every night at 11:30 PM during the 1980s.

One of those "family channels" used to run the Color Honeymooners episodes in the early evenings. Nice that Jackie Gleason and Art Carney kept going with it, but nothing beat the black and white episodes.

On a note of trivia, Jackie Gleason was also a musical composer, and he composed most, if not all of the music on the show. He published some albums.

Oops, my mistake. It was just the main theme, according to wiki:

"The instrumental theme song for The Honeymooners, "You're My Greatest Love", was composed by Gleason and performed by an orchestra led by Ray Bloch (who had previously served as orchestra leader on Gleason's variety show, as well as The Ed Sullivan Show). Although lyrics were composed, they were never sung. Sammy Spear, who later became Gleason's musical director, provided the arrangement.[14] The music heard in the episodes was not performed during the show, so to enhance the feeling of a live performance for the studio audience an orchestra performed before filming and during breaks.[8] The show's original announcer was Jack Lescoulie, who was also a spokesman for the sponsor, Buick. For the non-sponsored syndicated version, the introduction was voiced by CBS staff announcer Gaylord Avery."

But Gleason published at least one album that I'm aware of.

Everyone remembers Minnesota Fats, Buford T. Justice and Ralph Kramden.

But nobody remembers what was by far his most brilliant performance.

Yeah, JG was a composer...my mom had a few of his albums. He was a multi-talented guy, but not without his demons. And we've got this little landmark in Miami, where he had quite a presence.
