Customer Reviews of The Honeymooners - The Lost Episodes, Vol. 10

Outstanding!
I now have both collections -- the classic 39 and the "lost episodes", and thank God for whoever it was who decided to put the whole shebang on tape. The "bang, zoom", "Baby, you're the greatest", "Hey, Ralphie booooy", and "You're a sweet kid" won't ever get old. The only slight fly in the ointment as far as I'm concerned is Joyce Randolph's overacting, but that's a minor fly indeed -- the two collections are more than well worth the $ they cost, because there has never been another "Honeymooners", and there will never be another either. It's a classic no matter how you cut it!

It's still "The Honeymooners"
OK: the bad news first. This is a fairly uneven collection of "Lost Honeymooners" episodes. The transfers are of wildly varying quality; some are quite watchable, while others are extremely grainy or not taken from the proverbial "best available sources." The 4-disc set comes in a clunky box which easily could have been half the size. The extras are OK; some are actual episodes, while others are compilations of scenes (some taken from shows elsewhere in this set) that merely serve to pad the running time.

But when all is said and done, it's still "The Honeymooners" - which means it's very funny indeed. The classic cast is here (Gleason, Carney, Meadows, Randolph) and for the most part in top form, although some of the episodes are not as well rehearsed as others. The highlight of the set is the "New Year's Eve" episode, a 40-minute extravaganza featuring cameos by Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. Another treat is the Christmas show, although it's a bit disconcerting to see Jackie Gleason playing his other characters (including Reginald Van Gleason and Fenwick Babbitt) in a "Honeymooners" episode.

If you're looking to start your "Honeymooners" DVD collection, the now-available "Classic 39" set is obviously the place to start. But if you're a huge Honeymooners fan (as I am) and can't get enough of their good, clean, raucous brand of humour, you will definitely want to own this collection as well.
