Jackie Gleason, Art Carney take a golf lesson
The Honeymooners is the sitcom by which all sitcoms are measured.
The show, starring Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, premiered on this day in 1955.
Fifty-seven years later the show has become a cult favorite and its scenes acted out by devotees that rival those for The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Classic scenes include Ralph and Ed trying to learn golf from a textbook leading to Norton’s iconic phrase “hello, ball.”
