5.0 out of 5 stars The Show That Started It All, June 1, 2001

This review is from: Honeymooners Vol. 1 - Letter to the Boss [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Letter To The Boss," which was first performed live on "The Jackie Gleason Show" on November 14, 1953, was one of the first long "Honeymooners" skits. It was so well received by people that more and more of these long skits were done, thus allowing the characters to build and the situations to become more realistic. There are actually three skits on this tape, but the only one I will focus on will be "Letter To The Boss." This is an episode which features the usual Ralph Kramden bits like jumping to conclusions, allowing his mouth to get him into trouble, and just about anything else you can name! I don't want to give away the whole show if you haven't seen it, but believe me, this is one show that all fans will enjoy. It is fun to look at the shows now, and realize that they were performed within the context of an hour variety show. Yet these "lost" "Honeymooners" shows are so strong that they can stand alone almost 50 years after the were first done.
