1.0 out of 5 stars The worst of the Honeymooners, January 18, 2002

As an avid honeymooners fan, I was very disappointed in this badly put together compilation of honeymooners video. Not funny at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just a counterpart to the other reviewer, April 23, 2001

Full disclosure: I haven't seen this actual video.

I have, however, seen countless hours of this series, and I can assure it's indeed a classic.

1) It's done "live" - broadcast as it was being performed to millions of viewers, and the energy level of the productions is palpable.

2) In a medium obsessed with the rich and middle class, it was a show that focused on working class people and their problems. (Lucy wanted to get out of the house; Ralph just wanted to GET a house.)

3) It is a show with the same core appeal of "Lucy" - vivid characterizations (blustering Ralph, hyper Norton, caustic Alice) combined with wild physical comedy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bang, Zoom! I Wish They'd All Just STAY on the Moon!, January 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Honeymooners: Funniest Moments 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"The Honeymooners" is a very boring show. Fat jokes and chauvinist jokes get old very fast and the show is plodding and stilted. It just isn't funny. Alice is a big mouthed shrew, Trixie a whiny, driveling, sniveling crybaby, Norton an irritant like a mosquito and Ralphie Boy a loud mouthed windbag. The show is tiresome and predictable and it just isn't funny. "The Honeymooners" is BORING! It is dull!

It is curious that some of the trite lines have had staying power. It is also curious that this boring show has had staying power.

Watch "I Love Lucy" instead for some good retro humor of the 1950s. At least Lucy and company went out more, didn't just vegetate in a hole in the wall and Lucille Ball broke ground in television and television humor. "I Love Lucy" is a good cure after being punished with "The Honeymooners."
