I don't like to over analyze this but if Trixie put the chain on the door, she already knew Norton wouldn't be able to get in unless he snuck in through the window LOL. I suppose the semantic to be considered is the time of night/morning that Norton finally came home.
Trixie: "On the bus, there are just two empty seats. And who sits in those two empty seats?" Alice: "Ralph"! Alice had some classic lines in this episode.
Audrey Meadows is tops, love her in these. But, this one, this is her brightest moment. When she mimics Rita Weidemier, I just howl! Calling Ralph 'killer', coz you 'slay me'. Lmao. 'And, I'm calling Bellvue coz you're nuts'! Classic stuff.
@@waynej2608 That part was an ad lib, Gleason didn't like that Audrey threw smoke at his face, although it wasn't intentional he reacted to her offense. But, notice that she went on with her lines even though she was startled by his reaction. A true professional she was.
Jackie Gleason got big bucks for this series back then and he deserved every penny. He brought so much entertainment to so many people for so many years. Watching this since 1969 and I still marvel at how great it is.
As a kid when I heard, “Baby, you’re the greatest” from the Great One I knew it was over and I had to wait another week..... 4 legends showing us how it is supposed to be done. R.I.P. 👍🙏🏻
When the Ricardos and Mertzes moved to Connecticut, Lucy pulled the same stunt after the boys were so smitten with Barbara Eden at the club. Lucy wore the same tight-tight-tight style of dress that the vapid beauty wore here.
There was another episode of I Love Lucy similar to this. A friend of Ricky’s brings over his sexy gf and all the men give her lots of attention. Later Lucy and Ethel have sexy makeovers done.
Alice: isn't that a good idea tubby. Ralph to Alice: TUBBY RITA:That's a perfectly darling name Ralph to Rta: Do u think so Mrs wheatermyer Rita: yes I like it NortOn: the boys at the are gonna LOVE IT..
As a native Brooklynite... I can confirm that all of us got our hands caught in those old window latches in those 1930s buildings. The Honeymooners remains to this date a glimpse into tenement living in Brooklyn, New York. Small apartments, fire-escapes, the back of buildings as your front view, climbing stairs up to your floor... not the most convenient. But... we loved it. Bang Zoom...
17:15 Norton doesn't go through his usual antics before lighting that match, he's fast! Usually he fiddles around for 30 seconds before Ralph finally screams "CAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!"

If anyone is familiar with the 90's sitcom Martin, and an episode with the characters Mr. & Mrs. Bozak, you will notice that episode was inspired by this Honeymooners episode. Facts
Only show I laugh out loud at. I don't know how many times I've seen this, but every time she sais, "...buried treasure..." I bust up. For sure the greatest tv show ever.
It's one of my favorite shows the only thing I don't like about it is they didn't make enough of them. But then Jackie Gleason was a huge star back them and he probably didn't have time. He must have really loved Norton because he refused to do any show of Honeymooners if Norton was not in there. He produced and starred in the show.
@Green Sneakers & Ham so funny how Trump rules your thoughts. We are enjoying a fantastic conversation about a great TV show and you have to bring Trump into it. He owns you!!!
The painting just to Trixie's left at 11:28 is now hanging in my living room! I happened to notice this when I was watching this episode the other day. Too ironic. It is an original oil I purchased at an antique mall in Long Beach, CA. How did it make it this way from the east? The Honeymooners was filmed in New York. Does anyone know anything about the set decorator?
Alice. I'm thinking of giving You something And You may get it real soon Alice. He is a treasure He keeps this up he is going to be a buried treasure Great lines
Look at Trixie hair the old flip or what ever it was,called back then. I remember when I was growing up the older girls were wearing their hair just like Trixie.
One thing I noticed about Alice in every episode she always made sure Ralph felt guilty at the end of every episode if he did something she didn't like and then she would sit in the chair waiting for his response

Fun fact, I actually read an article just yesterday where it stated that Art Carney improvised that line. That whole scene where Burt spilled was unintentional, so Art improvised the line about the cat and Jackie followed up with his comment and Alice responded to Jackie which was also improvised. Apparently all 4 cast members were great ad-libbers, they practically had to be with the show being taped live.
Wow, this one got kinda heavy at the end. Alice is adorable and in the end Ralph always apologizes for his questionable behavior and tells her she's the greatest.
