When Jackie Gleason was growing up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn in the 1930s, many of his neighbors resembled his family, Irish and working-class. Today, the residents remain mostly working-class, but almost all are black.

Perhaps, then, it makes sense that a film remake of Gleason's classic TV comedy "The Honeymooners" would feature a mostly black cast, with Cedric the Entertainer as the new face of loudmouthed Ralph Kramden.

I admit that when I first heard about the new Honeymooners, I rolled my eyes. However, this does make sense.

I think it'll be funny. Cedric is a hoot. Was pretty good in Barbershop.

I'm not so sure, I'm way to young to have been around for the honeymooners prime, though I did watch episodes as a kid.

A neighbor near my job who is african american is downright angry about it and really ticked off, he is a much older guy so it might just be a traditional thing.

Then again, he may also be jumping to conclusions, he hates most of the african american comedians and entertainers today for being obscene and cursing and stuff.

He also was no fan of Richard Pryor either back in the day either.

Do something real edgy. Martin Short and Robin Williams as Amos and Andy
