328 Chauncey Street, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn,
New York, the apartment residences of the Kramdens
and the Nortons, people, fifteen years after the
Depression still struggling to make ends meet. Ralph
Kramden and Alice Gibson married following his
acquiring employment as a bus driver with the Gotham
Bus Company. Ed Norton, a sewer worker, and his wife,
Trixie, live above the Kramdens. Stories depict the
sincere attempts of two men to better their lives
and the ensuing frustrations when their schemes
to strike it rich inevitably backfire.

Although The Honeymooners is one of the best
remembered comedy highlights of TV's golden age,
it was seen for most of its history as a segment
within other programs. Oddly enough, the 39 episodes
of the independent series were not successful at the
time. The Honeymooners was first seen in 1951 as a
sketch within DuMont's Cavalcade of Stars, with Pert
Kelton originating the role of Alice. When the show moved
to CBS as The Jackie Gleason Show Audrey Meadows
assumed the role of Alice. In 1955 Gleason wanted a
respite from the full-hour live weekly variety show.
It was decided to film a full season half-hour
Honeymooners shows. In 1956, after the less-than-
anticipated response to The Honeymooners, Gleason
returned to a regular variety format. The Honeymooners
were presented as part of The Jackie Gleason Show up
until its last episode on Sept. 12, 1970.
