" The Color Honeymooners Episode Summaries"

Cast: Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Sheila MacRae, Jane Kean

For the first time in over 30 years, the color episodes of "The Honeymooners" can now be seen exclusively on GoodLife TV Network. In 1966 Jackie Gleason moved his hugely-popular television variety show from New York to Miami, becoming the first national show to broadcast permanently from Florida. 42 hour long versions of the adventures of Ralph, Norton, Trixie and Alice were taped between 1966 and 1970. They were then stored away by Jackie Gleason, not to be seen again until GoodLife contracted with Jackie Gleason's estate to bring them back to television. ~Goodtv.com~
