  • Jackie Gleason brought an ingenious assortment of mannerisms, quirks, and temperment to a variety of invented characters, among them the one he is most identified with,..."Ralph Kramdem" from the 1950's TV Classic, "The Honeymooners." His unique style, facial expressions, body language, and memorable one-liners, earned him the deserved title, "THE GREAT ONE!"

    I turned 75 today, and remember the whole family gathered around the little black & white TV, laughing like crazy to the antics of Gleason. We need shows like that again!

      You're right but the way this world is today plus the ignorant young people who don't like this kind of stuff, have destroyed everything that was good and refuse to accept it as fact and what's more they don't want to hear about it or know about it, and as far as I'm concerned, it's Wrong and Unforgivable Period!!!!!

    A thin, in shape Gleason wouldn't have worked. His size was part of his comic persona; it gave him a sympathetic, larger-than-life, everyman quality that made him appealing to the masses. One of the greats.

    • @APOCALYPSE_X-MEN
      @APOCALYPSE_X-MEN 7 лет назад +2

      I disagree. Have you seen Gleason in the first season he hosted Calvacade of Stars? He was about 80 to 100 pounds lighter then, and he was a comparative whirling dervish. I think Gleason at 180 pounds, 200 pounds, 230 pounds, 260 pounds, or 290 pounds was hilarious.

    • @freeguy77
      @freeguy77 7 лет назад +4

      Randy, but a thinner Gleason wouldn't have inspired the writers writing so many funny fat jokes! Gleason once bemoaned to his writers, "too many fat jokes!" But they worked, especially when as a comeback by Alice after Ralph insults her. One of the best was when Ralph said regarding a small amount of money: "Peanuts! What'll I do with peanuts?" Alice's hilarious reply: "Eat 'em! Like any other elephant!" ROTFL!

    No baby. YOUUUUU were the greatest. Of all time. And thank the Lord that television, although still in it's infancy, was there to capture it all. Imagine if Jackie has been born 15 years earlier... Only Vaudeville would have been honored to see him live, and then long forgotten. But because of TV, here we all are in 2020 enjoying his greatness on RUclips. . And his genius will now live on forever... Because his comedy was absolutely timeless. He was asked, What is the definition of comedy? He said, if you laugh, it's comedy. Perfect answer.

    This type of sitcom could only have occurred during that era when women were only housewives. Today that would be unheard of. My recollection as a child was the moon coming up on on the TV and me thinking ”Oh no .. not that crummy show.” and immediately changing the channel to watch Gentle Ben or Flipper. But as I reached adulthood I realized the comic genius of Mr. Gleason and the cast. Today I watch the re runs any chance I can get. Boy How sweet they were. Jackie, Art, Audrey & Joyce.

    I'm 46 years old--Since I've been a young child, it's become a tradition to watch the Honeymooners marathon on New Year's Day. It's clean humor-- brilliant actors-- an era I wish I was born in. Bung Crosby, Danny Kay, Fred Astaire, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Steward, Ohm Wayne-- I grew up sitting by the television while my father directed me to "Flip the channel"-- my wife thinks I'm antiquated for carrying on the tradition into my children's life-- especially when I ask them to flip the channel ;0)
    The best to everyone the Christmas season, and a Happy and healthy new year.

    Gleason, unlike so many self-centered "stars" today, always gave a huge credit to the success of The Honeymooners to his outstanding second banana, Art Carney, with his Ed Norton character. He said the show's success and comedy was 90% from Art's hilarious characterization of the zany sewer worker. Great Ones don't need to hog the spotlight nor be spoiled brats. Gleason was the tops, and one of the greatest comedic talents in television history! His famous character was ranked by TV Guide as second in history only to Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) in her "I Love Lucy" series.
