I still love the oldies too. Want to see a classic slow burn? Invest 8.5 minutes in Jackie Gleason

The Honeymooners, not being part of my generation, I did not expect to laugh. Color me surprised.

I grew up with The Honeymooners. I didn't like it. There was such a threat of violence in the show, and I was frightfully uncomfortable with that. I didn't think "to the moon, Alice, to the moon!" yelled with fist raised was funny.
However, it was enjoyable to see that scene, one bully standing up to another. And Art Carney is priceless.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

My favorite part of the show is all the horrible chicken impersonations they all do. Wonderful. "Has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken?"
Good Catch! I apologize for my error. LOL

You try living with constant threats, try it. It wears on the psyche and the soul. I know from experience. So please don't tell me about bullies with good hearts. Verbal bullies are bullies. Verbal bullies who make threatening gestures and whose normal conversational tone is a shout are bullies. I choose to not watch shows with bullies. Take it or leave it.

And that's Funke with an umlaut, which I don't have on my keyboard, and which Tobias constantly emphasizes in his pronunciation.
I've been inspired by this thread to watch the entire Arrested Development series again. Woot! We are nearly through the first disc. It is so fantastic, it defies quantification.
