I'm just thankful this has been released on DVD. There are a few particles on the screen from time to time but you must remember the footage is from the 1950s and MPI did the best they could. I'm happy with it.

I think "The Honeymooners" remains a classic because not only the actors but especially the writers. The script is genuinly funny. I'm in my early 20s and I think this show is far superior to any of the garbage on TV now. "Reality" shows, and horribly UNfunny sitcoms with brainless monkeys sitting in the audience laughing every 3 seconds. AAAHH. "Honeymooners" remains a classic.

Okay, whoever calls Honeymooners Tiresome Junk has obviously been way too brainwashed by today's dead bodies and sex in the city crap that is all the rave. I agree "I love Lucy" is also great and I have all of theose sets too. But, I disagree! What's better than a sterotyped frantic Cuban (Ricky Ricardo), a crazy red-head a frumpy housewife and a grouchy old man. And, that does get more tiresome than the honeymooners. Going to Hollywood, Ricky's catawallin, Lucy's schemes, etc. Very predictable and yet I love them all. So, don't be a Benedict Arnold you dirty bum and buy the Honeymooners.

As an avid fan of this TV series, I already own the original 39 episodes, so I felt I couldn't miss with this DVD. Wow, was I wrong. I realize the footage isn't of the best quality as this was filmed over 50 years ago, so no problem there. The bad part was content. These episodes are nowhere near as funny or entertaining as the original Honeymooners episodes we have all come to know and love. I don't care if all of a sudden 100 episodes were found in someone's vault -- I wouldn't buy them. None of these "lost episodes" can stand up to the original 39. Yeah, I love Ralph, Norton, Alice and Trixie and always will, but if I had to do this purchase over again, I wouldn't. Utterly disappointing, so don't waste your hard-earned money.

THE HONEYMOONERS IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST COMEDY SERIES IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION!I HAVE ALL OF THE DVD BOX SETS AND THEY ARE SIMPLY TIMELESS.IF YOU HAVE HAD A BAD DAY JUST LOOK AT THE HONEYMOONERS AND A SMILE WILL APPEAR ON YOUR FACE.THE GREATEST!!!!!!!
