My Dad and I used to watch the Jackie Gleason Show. Dad turned 90 last June, but his memory is not so good and I don't have anybody to share these memories with anymore. So I thought someone on free republic might have some.

OH YEAH - MELANCHOLY SERENADE

Some years ago I compiled a bunch of Jackie Gleason Orchestra music onto a CD for my F-I-L. I found Jackie's music to be nice, but s o o o o o o mellow.

The McCoys are on youtube. They are very ancient tv; sort of ur-Clampetts, transplanted from WV to CA, but lacking the rags-to-riches angle.
I’ll watch anything with Walter Brennan in it.

Yeah, I used to like all his characters. Carney gets a lot of credit (even by Gleason) for the success of The Honeymooners, and he was my favorite at the time.

But watching reruns of the show decades later revealed to me Gleason as a comic genius himself.

Yes, I would have enjoyed linking the various songs by Crazy Guggenheim (Frank Fountaine) but the Gleason Enterprise Corp has deleted most due to copyright issues. Surprising since most of the Gleason shows (and Honermooners) are available through 'Youtube'.

One of my favorites was the handcuff scene from Unconventional Behavior...”You’re not boomphing right Norton.”

Unconventional Behavior-The Honeymooners (Season 1, Episode 33…12 May 1956

It’s always a little tricky finding stuff on YouTube. Sometimes you can watch original movies or tv shows and then come back some time later to see them removed because of copyright infringement.
