A busload of material featuring Ralph Kramden, the hefty bus driver from Brooklyn immortalized by Jackie Gleason in The Honeymooners, appears on this DVD, though the title is somewhat misleading. This production is more of a tribute to Gleason himself and his fellow performers, especially perennial sidekick Art Carney. A constant theme throughout is Gleason's remarkable ability to ad-lib when things went wrong on live television. Short clips of bloopers and improvisations involving characters such as the drunken playboy "Reginald Van Gleason" or the eternal sad sack "Poor Soul" appear frequently, along with monologue bits from Gleason's hour-long variety shows. In fact, the material featuring characters from The Honeymooners that appears is taken from sketches performed as part of the variety show, and include such classic bits as Ralph and Alice Kramden preparing to be contestants on Beat the Clock, Ralph trying to help his wife's sister to elope, and a full-length sketch in which Ralph thinks he's been fired and writes an ill-conceived letter to his boss. Art Carney takes a starring role in a bonus program entitled The Wit and Wisdom of Ed Norton. --Robert J. McNamara

These are not complete episodes. They are clips from what the colaborators of this DVD consider to be the best. There is constant voice over / narration overriding the performance clips as well. I bought this used and I still feel I got short changed. If you are looking for complete shows then avoid this one.

It wasn't quite what I expected. Shows only clips of series. Otherwise, it was alright.

I agree with the previous excellent review, in that THIS, "The Very Best Of The Honeymooners," is not THE BEST of The Honeymooners as the title implies, which I especially want to caution those who want to purchase this. By all means, it is a very excellent DVD without a doubt, for any Jackie Gleason fan. And it does contain many hilarious excerpts of the Honeymooners. However, this also contains wonderful excerpts taken from Mr. Gleason's variety shows too. Yet what I cherish most are the bloopers ... Read More

This was back in the classic age of television. This television show, the honeymooners, is a clear example of the genious Gleason had for putting on a show. Back then, television had class. They were very basic story lines but back then they didn't need an elaborate script to cover up bad acting like they do now. Sure, they can call the actors nowadays stars, but the stars of the honeymooners were REAL stars. The brilliancy and capability of mind to ad lib whenever something didn't go as planned still amazes ... Read More
