Product Description
The Color Honeymooners (a/k/a The Jackie Gleason Show), a
top-rated comedy/variety program aired, from the sun and fun
capital of the world Miami Beach! on Saturday night from
1966-70 on CBS-TV. This long-running series marked the final
weekly TV show for The Great One.
Reprising their famous characters from The Honeymooners, the
cast was led by Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden) and Art
Carney (Ed Norton). Newcomers Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean
played long-suffering wives Alice and Trixie. Like popular
variety series of the time, the show s format was a clever
combination of new comedy sketches coupled with classic
Honeymooners bits. Plenty of big name guest stars and a
generous helping of singing and dancing rounded out the
hour.
Regulars included Gleason s glamorous Glea-Girls; the June
Taylor Dancers; Sammy Spear and His Orchestra, and
announcer, Johnny Olson.
