This past week I recently completed a Honeymooners set of autographs with this Gleason autograph:

I love that example Mike!

Thanks Eric!  Hard to believe I finally found one, big thanks to everyone here at AML. 

Hi Mike,

Thanks for remembering this. I thought of this last month and then forgot it - things creep up so fast! I attach mine from the very first Honeymooners episode which was about 6 minutes long - Gleason was only 35 when he signed this. After this, I attach an unpublished rehearsal photograph from December 29, 1965 - blocking in the last ever b/w episode. Also Meadows last appearance as Alice until the 70's specials. Link below to a song :)

Happy Birthday indeed! 100!

Eric

Happy Birthday Ralph!

Fantastic piece Eric!

Gleason is on of my all-time favorites and The Honeymooners is still in my top 5.

The Honeymooners is an iconic show for the ages.

I've been watching the Honeymooners for over 50 years and must have watched every episode well over 100 times and you can't help but laugh.

Clean humor, no cursing.

I still communicate with Joyce Randolph who is a darling of a person.

that show, if it were released today, would still be a hit.  it is timeless.  bang, zoom!

The greatest comedians can make you laugh without profanities.  Bob Saget should take some notes haha.

I agree with all the comments about the show. Nothing was forced, didn't need a large group of writers taking over, just a few very, very skilled comedians/actors who really knew what they were doing. Gleason was an absolute genius. I loved him in the Hustler, great movie. He only had a few lines in the movie, but his facial expressions and mannerisms were pure gold.
