'Twas the Night Before Christmas was a touching holiday episode of "The Honeymooners"
18 December 2008
I just watched for the first time on YouTube this holiday episode of "The Honeymooners" from their only season outside of being a sketch on "The Jackie Gleason Show". There's a partial touch of the O'Henry story, "The Gift of the Magi", here with the standard, but well-earned, laughs whenever Norton (Art Carney) shows up. The sentimental speech Ralph gives at the end almost seems tacked on though it's still touching just the same and then Jackie brings his fellow cast members on stage for one more bow as he wishes us a Merry Christmas. All I want to say now is watch the episode and enjoy the chemistry between Audrey Meadows, Joyce Randolph, and especially, Glesaon and Carney in one of the best shows to come out of The Golden Age of Television...
