Summary: Like Ralph would say...these are the greatest...and on DVD
Review: Not much to say except for the fact that the Classic 39 are the best Honeymooners episodes. And now, after a long wait, they are finally on DVD! I'm ordering a couple of these boxed sets.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its About Time!!!!!
Review: Its about time they released the Classic 39 episodes on DVD. I've been waiting for this for sooooo long.
Hopefully there will be some extra features too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get the bag!!!
Review: It's about time! The 39 greatest episodes of any show in TV history, now on DVD. I've worn out my videotapes over the last ten years; not a week goes by in which I don't watch at least one or two episodes (and I'm embarrassed to say that for a time I was watching them more frequently than that!). This impending DVD release is looking good for Honeymoonies, since this DVD is being put out by Paramount, not by MPI, those incompetents who ruined the lost episodes on VHS and then on DVD with decrepit transfers and terrible audio.

There's hardly anyone around today who can compare to Gleason and Carney. Jim Carey and Michael Richards (a.k.a. Cosmo Kramer) deserve their fame, but honestly, who else has there been? Talentless nitwits like David Spade and Chris Farley? The King of Queens? For those dismal unfortunates who think that Adam Sandler is actually funny, I suggest a crash course in The Honeymooners.

Now excuse me while I pre-order my copy....

P.S. Favorite scene: Ralph walking in on Carlos and the ladies as he's teaching them the "mamba." Ralph's initially cheerful greeting, followed by the slowly dawning realization on his face
that something strange is going on, capped off by the final expression of unmistakable anger, can still make me howl after literally hundreds of viewings.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's the Greatest!
Review: If you enjoy the classic Honeymooners 39 episodes, what else can I say to you? This is a wonderful collection. The quality of the shows are excellent. They are uncut and will keep you laughing over and over again. The only thing I didn't like (which is why it was not given five stars) was that it was not in airdate order. The box set has the episodes characterized by "situations" instead of airdates. But the important thing is that the Honeymooners is a hilarious series that still shines out on video and I highly recommend this to any fan of the original series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the Best
Review: Millions may love Lucy - buy for me, nothing compares to the Honeymooners' classic 39 episodes.

Although firmly set in the 50's it is truly timeless, and younger people who refuse to watch anything in black and white are losing the most side-splitting tv comedy ever filmed. Witness Ralph doing a slow burn and threatening Alice to send her "to the moon!" or calling his mother-in-law a "blabbermouth" - incidentally one of the few times he's right about anything. Prepare for Alice's arched eyebrows and folded arms as she waits out Ralph's tirades. Above all, perhaps, marvel at Art Carney's sleepwalk prone, Captain Video loving Norton - TV's greatest best friend in more than one sense - as he teaches Ralph the Hucklebuck and "addresses" a golfball.

Tying it all together is the fact that, although they have feet of clay and yell at eachother as loved ones sometimes do, they all really love and need eachother at the end of the day. There is perhaps no summary better than Ralph's famous complement to Alice - "Baby, you're the greatest!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby, they're the greatest!
Review: Maybe not the most original headline for this review, but very apt for all that. This collection of the "Classic 39" Honeymooners is something every Gleason/Meadows/Carney fan should own. All the shows you remember and love, with no commercials, to boot. My favorite is the Christmas episode where Gleason breaks character at the end and brings the cast out to wish the audience a Merry Christmas. I watch these over and over and never get tired of them. Classic humor at it's best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When is the DVD coming out?
Review: You want to know my favorite? You really want to know my favorite? All 39! There hasn't been a TV series that is funnier than these classics. Simply, they were funny in 1955-56 and they are funny today. Comedy writing at its finest. Characters that everyone can relate to. Pardon me Sid, Miltie, Lucy, and Seinfeld. Not even close. Thank you Jackie wherever you are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby, you,re the greatest!!
Review: These episodes are legendary. The Honeymooners Classic 39 is exactly that, Classic. The Honeymooners rate with the best thats ever been on television. I purchased the Classic 39 and haven't stopped watching since they arrived almost a month ago. And that is after watching them on TV for more them 40 years whenever they were on. Now I can watch them all the time, whenever I want. What a treat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would bring it to the MOON!
Review: Every episode will make you laugh. This is a must for everyone who enjoys real comedy. Ralph, Ed, Alice and Trixe make up a great team who will make you smile through out each episode.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Baby, You're The Greatest!"
Review: This collection of the "Classic 39" is a real treasure! Whether you're an obsessed Honeymooners fan (like I am) or just wanting to check out some footage from *The Golden Age Of Television*... this collection is DEFINITELY FOR YOU! Gleason's Kramden is as hilaious as ever, as is Carney's Norton. Audrey Meadows as Alice and Joyce Randolph as Trixie are, in my opinion, the best two actresses ever to play the part. They both exhibit GREAT talent and hilarity! You can watch this timeless classic with catchphrases like "Bang! Zoom!", "One of these days, Alice..." and "Do you wanna go to the moon! " over and over again! A real classic! Highly recommended!
