Summary: Honeymooners Fan In Heaven!
Review: As a Honeymooners fan for as long as I can remember I've also been upset when our local tv station (WPIX/New York)first took the show off the air and then moved it to some awful time period in the middle of the night. I also made a tape from the Marathon a few years ago and combined with the commercials the video quality was awful. What a surprise when I had lunch with my old friend, and 'Mooner buddy, David Hirsch who mentioned he had heard CBS/Paramount was planning on releasing the "Original 39" on DVD. I went home...did a bit of searching and found not only Amazon had it but had the best price on the internet.I was so excited when it arrived a couple of weeks later...5 discs containing all 39 shows. My only sticking poing (which is why I only gave it 4 stars) why couldn't they also include some more material additional material? Trust me...I'm not complaining...I'm in Heaven!

Summary: NOT PERFECT, BUT CLOSE
Review: Just got the 5-disc DVD set yesterday. As so many others have noted, yes the pilot episode (TV or NOT TV) has some scratches and 2 vertical white lines on the left side of the screen, but they are not real bad or distracting. And yes, the sound could be better, since having to increase the volume increases the power hum from the speakers. Also, there must be at least 2 different dvd sets, because my set's episodes are placed in air date order and not by category as I had heard. Now to the good stuff: apart from the pilot, the rest of the episodes are beautifully clear. I don't know whether they were remastered or not. Here again is confusion, with some saying they were and some not, but regardless, they are pristine in my view and light years ahead of any VHS copy. You can indeed hear everything the audience does, including coughs and verbal comments, but this mostly does not interfere with the brilliance of the skits being performed and sometimes enhances it. The aforementioned items are small anoyances that are soon overshadowed by the brilliance of the rest of the skits. The dvd's aren't 100 percent perfect, but I'll settle for the 90 percent perfection rate that I do give them. The show itself is OFF THE CHARTS!

Summary: DVD Quality Laughable, but Great Episodes
Review: The good : all 39 Honeymooners episodes in one collection. The bad : Nothing really done DVD wise to enhance the show. TV or Not TV epsisode has the sound problem, but take a look at the "LULU" Norton Sleepwalking episode. The last 7 minutes of that looks like it was extracted from a silent movie. The makers of this DVD set did nothing to enhance the show technically, but pretty much gave you VHS copies on dvd. Only saving grace of this collection : The HOneymooners is a great show and it's nice to have all the classic 39 in one set.

Summary: ED: Hey, Ral-pheee! RALPH: Norton, YOU are mental case!
Review: RALPH (CON'T): What took you so long? Alice and I have been sitting around here waiting for you, haven't we Alice? ALICE: (dryly)Yeah. It's just been heaven. TO BE CONTINUED: My father loved 'em, my sister, then her daughter and I loved 'em, I've been taping them off late-night TV since VCR's went on the market. Now, I've got the VHS set, most of the DVD singles and things are swell, I've got the new DVD set! Now, my dad is gone, my sister is gone and it's just my niece Nataki and I and we STILL love them. In fact, we love them all the more. "The Honeymooners" are all so full of straight-out laughs, humanity and our own family memories, that even when we are a little sad, they revive our spirits.

Summary: AWSOME DVD SET, GRAB IT, DONT HESITATE, PRICELESS!!!!!
Review: thank you PARAMOUNT/CBS, this DVD collection supersedes anything released to date on the honeymooners, EXCELLENT!!!, potential buyers, please DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAY ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, priced reasonable for the common working man, RALPH AND NORTON WERE THE COMMON WORKING MAN, its all here folks, the 39 CLASSICS, THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN WHAT MANY COLLECTORS HAVE PAID BIG BUCKS FOR THROUGH THE YEARS FOR THESE SHOWS, if your a true fan of the honeymooners you will not be disappointed,
THIS DVD SET IS UNMATCHED !!! look at the price per episode, DO YOUR MATH, and see what it would cost to buy this collection any where else, and the QUALITY probably cant touch this collection!! REVIEW OF HONEYMOONERS CLASSIC 39 EPISODE COLLECTION. GOD BLESS!!

Summary: The greatest sitcom ever
Review: This is what longtime fans of "The Honeymooners" have been jonesing for for years: The "Classic 39" on DVD! It's wonderful to have all of the episodes in one set, in broadcast order and, for the most part, looking and sounding great. That said, Paramount/CBS could have done better. What other reviewers have pointed out about the pilot episode, "TV or Not TV," is true: the audio quality is poor (it sounds like you're listening to the episode underwater) and the picture is scratchy. The other episodes in the collection--at least those I've viewed thus far--are much better, with sound clear enough to hear audience members shift in their seats (when they're not doubled over laughing, of course) and the creaking of the stage floorboards as a actor walks into scene, and crisp black and white film quality. It would have been nice if they'd cleaned up the pilot digitally, but I guess we should be happy that any of these episodes still exist at all, given how many programs from that era are lost forever. The lack of extras is also noticable. I'm unclear as to why the Anniversary Special has been edited down by more than half--while what's left is still interesting, why not just include the whole special? And the original opening and closing are nice to see, but...that's all you get. No commentary. No freshly produced documentary. No inclusion of other "Honeymooners" material (the reunion special from the '70s, maybe?). Nada. Still, for anybody who grew up watching this show (as I did during its run in syndication), it's the episodes themselves that we want more than anything else. And now I have those. So color me happy.
