The previous season I Love Lucy did a series of episodes as a trip to Europe. Perhaps that's what inspired the Honeymooners to try the same?
I just lost interest in this set.The Obsolete Man said:The Classic 39 are owned by CBS/Paramount, and have their own box set. So, no, they won't be part of this set.
I've always felt CBS/Paramount should go back and do a redo on their Classic 39 release, and this time really digitally remaster and restore each episode. There was a Honeymooners special on CBS back in 2002/3 which aired some Classic 39 clips, and the clips looked much better than what was on the set; the clips actually looked digitally remastered. I don't know what happened when it came to the DVD.The Obsolete Man said:The Classic 39 are owned by CBS/Paramount, and have their own box set. So, no, they won't be part of this set.
The whole point of the set is THE LOST EPISODES and not EVERYTHING!Rick Thompson said:I just lost interest in this set.
That's a shame, because there's more to "The Honeymooners" than those 39 episodes. This set will show you what led up to them and what came after. There are some really good episodes, even better than the Classic 39.Rick Thompson said:I just lost interest in this set.
Don't agree. I bought most of the "Lost" episodes on VHS, and most just sat there like a dead flounder. The exceptions (ex: "The Letter") I dubbed to DVD. I don't much care for the quality of the "Classic 39" DVD, and would have gone for this to get a better transfer of the 39 and the "Lost" ones I liked. As for the color "trip to Europe" episodes, that was (for me, anyway) dead flounder territory again, so the idea of getting them in b/w (granted without the songs, which would be an improvement) is no incentive. As for those who want this set, I say "Go with God" and enjoy every minute of these. But count me out.tvgreats said:Joe, you hit it out of the ballpark. Theres not much I can add to your post. The "Classic 39" are great. No doubt about it. But most of the "Lost Episodes" are also great in their own right. Gleason and Carney are hilarous in most of these skits. There are a lot of Honeymooner fans that prefer the Lost Episodes over the classic 39. Granted, there might be a few that are so-so, but overall, MOST of the episodes are comedy at its best.
