The Bits: Paramount to release Honeymooners episodes in October (1 Viewer)

Scott_J · Jul 9, 2003

Buried in the middle of a paragraph of Paramount's September releases posted in this morning's update at the Bits:

the first The Honeymooners: The Original TV Series episodes

Wonder what format it'll be (single disc, season set?).

I believe Honeymooners is set for an October release.

The paragraph cited contains dates for both September and October.

I wouldn't care to guess if it'll be season sets or separate volumes.

God, am I so glad to hear this now.

I was very close to going the Columbia House
route in obtaining all these episodes. I just
knew in the back of my mind, however, that if
Columbia House was offering them now, a major
studio must already have plans to release them
as well.

This is great news!

I hope they release them as a box set and not release them as single dvd's with volumes # on them like I Love Lucy.

Looks like you're right, Scott. I just totally overlooked where it said October. Could a mod please edit the title to read October, instead of September? Thanks.

If they are releasing it in volumes, and not a box set on the first volume i want these episodes, the one where ralph and ed fight over the tv, and also the one where he sleepwalks with a dog.

TonyD · Jul 9, 2003

wasnt there only 39 of the origional series?

one box set would be perfect.

Dave Mack · Jul 9, 2003

box set, please! I'm running out of room!

I don't want to read anything into this, but the release I've seen says:

"Coming in October...
... The Honeymooners - the original TV series"

There is no volume number or season number indicated.

You may read into that whatever you wish...

I'm just hoping its not a repackaging of the Columbia House ones like I Love Lucy.

Dick · Jul 11, 2003

Yes, there were only 39 episodes produced of the half-hour series we are mostly familiar with. There were sketches, varying in length, of the Honeymooners with the original cast which aired as part of an early Gleason variety show, if I'm not mistaken, and these have been dubbed "The Lost Episodes" (which is dumb, since they've been available for a God's age). I believe these are already on DVD, taken from the Kinescope source material (i.e. not great).

Kajs · Aug 9, 2003

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/ has posted the artwork for the set...And it appears to be a 5 disc set containing the "Classic 39." Which is great news to me!

Xenia Stathakopoulou · Aug 9, 2003

Dvd empire, amazon.com say october 21, tv shows on dvd say november 21, some other sites say november 4, which one is it ?

Josh Steinberg · Aug 9, 2003

I am so there! I was just writing to a friend earlier today about how I wished these would get released... maybe I should wish more often

Dane Marvin · Aug 9, 2003

Maybe Gord's just unintentionally got the date wrong at 11/21 instead of 10/21 at tvshowsondvd.com. I think 10/21 is probably correct (11/21 isn't a Tuesday).

John KB · Aug 9, 2003

Now I wish they would release the 40 or so episodes that were filmed in COLOR in t966/67. They are currently airing on the Goodlife Network. They are 1 hour musical shows.
I've seen a few, and I think they are really fun. It's really weird to see Ralph and Norton break into song during one of their arguments!

Xenia Stathakopoulou · Aug 9, 2003

I really like the coverart, also it seems that since its a 5 disc set, itll be broken down to 7 episodes on some discs, and at least 8 on 1 of them. Cant wait !

David Lambert · Aug 10, 2003

Tony, Dane...thanks for bringing that to my attention. Gord fat-fingered the date, and I perpetuated it in the cover art article. I corrected it in the article and mentioned that the date comes from Amazon, not Paramount, and that DVDEmpire has a different date of 11/4.
