Tom Shales Washington Post 09/05/2018
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to see it in reruns. TV recycles everything, whether trash or treasure. The Honeymooners is treasure. Go to Full Review
John Corry New York Times 09/05/2018
Even 30 years later, there is still something intimate about this. Viewer and actor are joined. Canned laughter, artificial performances and overstuffed productions are not built to last. The Honeymooners is forever. Go to Full Review
Susan King Los Angeles Times 09/05/2018
Their performances haven't dated, and the series remains funny, warm and touching. Go to Full Review
Stephen Tropiano PopMatters 09/05/2018
Continues to speak to contemporary audiences because it explores an enduring theme: the struggle of the working class to make a better life for themselves. Go to Full Review
People Staff People Magazine 09/05/2018
Alice (Audrey Meadows in most reruns) was the show's strongest figure. Its most enduring and endearing feature, though, is the best supporting actor anyone has ever had, Art Carney as the earnest sewer worker, Ed Norton. Go to Full Review
Kari Croop Common Sense Media 09/05/2018
3/5
While Ralph's classic catchphrase might have brought in peals of laughter in its day, his frequent threats to send his wife "to the moon" actually play as borderline disturbing when paired with his closed fist coming swiftly toward her face. Go to Full Review

Timmy M @RT67342116 08/12/2023 The Honeymooners a true tv classic. This classic comedy featuring Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows, and Joyce Randolph is timeless. I have been watching this show since I was a kid and still enjoy it time and time again. Its a show no matter how many times you watch it you never get tired of it. If it wasn't for this show you would not have many other shows such as The Flintstones and other citcoms. Still to this day you can see the influence this show has on current programs. Many of the scenes went off script and improvised which made it even better. See more 07/31/2019 The Honeymooners are the GREATEST ! See more Read all reviews
