[net.tv] "New" old Honeymooners coming to cable

Here`s great news for all you "Honeymooners" fans.
This summer, Showtime will air a whole bunch of old
Honeymooner episodes that were made as part of the old
"Jackie Gleason Show".  This is, of course, where the
Honeymooners started, as a regular skit of the show.
Eventually, they had one whole season of Honeymooner
episodes, which is what we`ve been seeing in syndication.
These episodes haven`t been seen in over 25 years!
Think of the possibilities!  Maybe Ralph does send Alice
"to the moon!".  Maybe we`ll learn more background
history on the Kramdens and Nortons.  I hope the quality
of the tape is good.  I can hear those VCRs whirring already.

M.C.: "Who was the composer of `Swannee River`?"
Ralph: "Ed Norton?"
