"The Honeymooners (Classic 39)" was, is, and always will be The Greatest TV Comedy of All Time. I became a Honeymooners fan around age 10. By 14, I was racing to the magazine store to pick up the TV Guide, to see which 7 of the Classic 39 they would be showing at 11pm every night for the next week.. I even attended the R.A.L.P.H. Convention (The Royal Association for the Longevity and Preservation of the Honeymooners) at C.W. Post on 3/10/84... I think Rita Weidermeier was at that one, but that's another story... When I was growing up, I always loved the way TV Guide would describe these hilariously funny shows with as few words as possible. I started collecting these descriptions until I had a complete set of 39, which I will now share with you.. Can anyone relate to any of this or does someone think someone has way too much time on their hands?... Anyway, it's time to present to you..
