Classic TV At Its Best.
The Honeymooners was really television's first spin-off.
Originally it was a running sketch from "The Calvacade of
Stars" ('52).When Gleason got his own variety show on CBS,
the first half included some stand-up and a big production
number by the June Taylor Dancers. The second half hour was
the Honeymooners. During the '55 to'56 season, 39
Honeymooners episodes were filmed before a live audience.The
Honeymooners wasn't wildly popular when first aired. In
fact, CBS dropped the show to return to a new version of the
old variety "Jackie Gleason Show" in which the Honeymooners
was again the second half sketch.
