Least favorite episodes from The Honeymooners...

Didn't care for Bensonhurst Bomber because I thought Ralph acted like a real *beep* at the beginning with George. Couldn't it have gone like this:
Ralph: Oh, well, I'm sorry. But let me ask you something. If you had reserved the table, why didn't you put out the sign mentioning it? We wouldn't have started playing then. I'll tell you what. We'll be done in a few minutes and then you can play, okay? And don't worry, we'll pay for you.

Now, if Harvey still got mad and wanted to fight him, that's another story, but Ralph really acted like such a jerk that he got what he deserved.

Anytime Mrs. Mannicotti comes on I get a little steamed because she's extremely annoying, but I don't have any episodes that I don't like.

This does not count as a least favorite episode, but the one thing that ticked me off about the show was the re-use of that one guy who played a cop, Ralph's co-worker and a few others along the way.

Just a small thing that annoyed me.

The episode where the recieve a telegram that states Mother is coming to visit, Ralph thinks its Alice's Mother and acts like a real dick, was it too much for him to try and get along with Alices Mother for Alices sake, then it turns out its Ralphs Mom that visits, there is just something about this episode that doesnt work, Ralph over reacts and there aren't that many funny lines.

My favorite episodes were always in the "classic 39" season. I hated the lost episodes and the variety type episodes.

As far as the "classic 39", I hated the one with the teenagers, I Love Lucy had a similiar episode and it sucked too. I also hated the episode where Ralph thinks Alice is cheating, where in fact, she's having the apartment redecorated.

Last night I saw "Please Leave the Premises" where Ralph protests the $5 rent increase by locking himself and Alice in the apartment with no heat, water, electricity or anything.

I love the Honeymooners. That and I Love Lucy are classics 50's sitcoms. But that episode was awful. First of all, didn't Ralph had to go to work? Didn't they need to shower or use the toilet?? The episode would have worked if it was a dream sequence. A "what if?" situation. But the thought of the protest going as far as 3 days without utilities was dumb. We get that the Ralph character is filled with pride and stubborn as hell, but he's not that big of an idiot.

Forget about not realizing the landlord would give them an eviction notice AND get the police involved, BUT once they were out on the street, Ralph is still not convinced to pay the $5. AND Alice actually waits a bit before starting to pack her suitcase.

Only saving grace, and it isn't much, was the awkward smile Alice gave to the camera twice while quoting Ralph's stress-reducing mantra.

What does everybody else think of that episode?

All of the episodes have such great lines and acting that, to me, the only thing that makes a "least favorite" episode is the story line. That would be, in my opinion, Something Fishy. Ralph and Ed do everything in their power (lie, sneak out of the house, etc.) in order to avoid the displeasure of spending a day with their wives. In the last seconds of the episode they have an attack of conscience and relent but all they deserve from Alice and Trixie is a huge, "Gee thanks."

Still, this is the episode with the unintended laugh from the president of the Racoons sputtering, trying to remember his line which is eventually fed to him by "Ralph." And about the same time Gleason himself mixing up names and referring to "Ed Norton" as "Brother Kramden. (He corrects himself right away.)
