This review is from: The Honeymooners "Classic 39," Vol. 7: Better Living Through TV & Mind Your Own Business [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The key episode here is Better Living through TV which I consider in the top 3 of all time for a comedy performance by a particular comedian. Jackie Gleason shows his comedic genius when it's time to go on the air. To say more would spoil it for those who have never seen the episode. One comedy episode which would be in the same ball park as this one is the I Love Lucy episode in which Lucille Ball becomes drunk while making a TV commercial. Ironically Better Living Through TV provides the same TV commercial venue. Again, all children, teenagers, adults and elderly people should see this episode. It's timeless - people will still be laughing at it 100 years from now!

I loved this. OK, I admit being a former member of R.A.L.P.H. but still, you can't find these episodes easily these days on cable or satellite tv. To here "ohhh it can core a apple" is to bring a smile to your face at the antics of these two poor schleps trying to make it in life. Carney and Gleason were the only comedy duo to closely imitate Laurel & Hardy and that is high praise from a SONS member.

This review is from: The Honeymooners "Classic 39," Vol. 7: Better Living Through TV & Mind Your Own Business [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Mind Your Own Business" originally aired on 5/26/56. This is the episode where, in part on Ralph's advice, Ed gets fired from his job in the sewer and starts selling irons door-to-door. It does not work out, but he eventually gets his old job back. There is some suspense in the episode as Ed tells Ralph that he is very successful in selling the irons when in reality he is not.
