Premise:
But these are just remakes of some great older ones. The say the same thing about people who suddenly discovered these newest modern “progressions”. If you're older than 25 then you know what I'm referring to. You've still seen those “remakes” too. When I thought of doing this blog I looked at a list of the top rated sitcoms for the last fifty years and it is amazing at just how many of those shows I have seen but only two or three times. There are a few that a lot of people do remember too. What made them better than the rest? Of course I'm “thirty” but my father's job as a kid was to clean the kerosene lamps because everyone still didn't have their electricity installed. Gee, what else do you suppose that they might not have had either? |
The Honeymooners:
Good actresses are used to playing a character. She used this face expression a lot. |

New York Honeymooners | The television (CRT) was invented a long time ago[1][2] and,as I recall, most average Americans didn't own one until the 60's. A little while later color was added which my family couldn't afford. There was only one TV in Most American homes and children did not get a choice of what to watch (ABC,CBS or NBC) because there wasn't anything on for kids except Saturday mornings. While my parents watched Perry Mason I learned what really went on in America in other |
people's opinions. When I was six, everyone thought of me as a child. On the other hand I watched these dumb shows and I thought, "Here's the future's television that will be 'comedy sitcoms.'" I was right. Do you agree by naming at least three hundred similar that followed?[3] I learned other American styles through just a few memorable junky comedy sitcoms. We don't necessarily live with that inconvenience continuously but we can empathize with their employees' methods for producing entertainment. The so-called comedy-variety were some of the most popular episode shows. I think these series began about 1950.[4] Then Jackie Gleason added his own shows in 1952.[5] |
Art Carney has always been a sidekick of Gleason's show comparable with Johnny Carson's Ed_McMahon. In those days Friendly-Joe the Bartender was always Jackie's major-problem-handler from his bar in Miami. Jackie was always in the bar either before or after the episode that was later added to his show. The Honeymooners[6] was one of the first U.S. television shows to portray working-class married couples which was primarily intended to encompass most of the America's |

population. In an indigently-built-quality Brooklyn apartment set in the Kramden's kitchen. Beside the obvious, most lower-middle-class kindreds in that era didn't have refrigerators[7+] or televisions. These episodes were actually performed on a live stage about full-time bickering about this couple's quarrel. This Honeymoon show did not follow the dream life's incidental schedule. It was a more-like a non-idyllic plot. I wonder, do I get to miss their lives and have a better one or simply laugh at myself? Life always has the same plan. Exactly. Anyone that defers from this plan is a definition of entertainment. |

The set: Same as Gleason |
Archie and Sherman Hemsley |
Dumbest Dumber Meathead Bigot |
Archie made the local media |
People referred to as bigots are natural. They have always been there and there always will be. I don't think there was a TV comedy about these theologies until Archie Bunker arrived along with his family or kindred as the above did too. This show would never have existed without Carroll O'Connor. Archie only needed his wife Edith, Jean Stapleton. Do you recognize the similarity in these two shows? As I mentioned, everyone are bigots. They stereotype everyone else not in your club. That's why Bunker was so successful. Everyone thought he was naive and stupid and bigoted. He was also a tragic man and his character was the funniest classic actor I've ever seen. Carroll O'Conner has the same reason for being successful, The character he was playing was YOU.[9] If you're innocent then you can throw the first rock. Plenty in America. Yes, they are innocent – and liars.[10] |
