The Color Honeymooners DVD
Jackie Gleason's TV variety show added a new sketch during 1966, that reintroduced viewers to one of America's favorite families (the Kramdens and Nortons), whom Gleason immortalized as The Honeymooners in the 1950s, first on his variety series, and as its own program. For all-color incarnation, Gleason reunited with Art Carney as pal Ed Norton, while Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were the new Alice and Trixie. The Color Honeymooners added musical numbers to the sketches, but aside from these new features, it was the same old Honeymooners, as seen in this four-disc set, which preserves the nine-episode "Trip to Europe" story arc. It's actually a revised version of the "Box Top Kid" sketch from The Jackie Gleason Show circa '56-57, which finds Ralph taking the contest after his brother-in-law wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Europe through write-in contest. After Norton pens a slogan for Flakey Wakey, Ralph accept the first prize but must first prove that he lost his weight from eating the product. This spins into an eight-part story which takes the Kramdens and Nortons to Europe, where they cause havoc in the great cities of the Continent, as well as on an African safari. The sketches are balanced out by a number of musical bits, including performances by the June Taylor Dancers, the Glea Girls, and other regulars and guests.
