I've long felt Jackie's character in 'The Honeymooners' . . .

. . . was intended to convey an element of blowhard-ism. And I remember watching the Jackie Gleason Show when it was broadcast live back in the early '60s. The Honeymooners wasn't in syndication then, but by the early '70s reruns were back on local television. Remarkably, no one even mentioned his blustering . . . until just now.
That it would be considered inappropriate today says as much about the current culture climate as it does about the mores of the show.
Always loved Jackie; his character in The Hustler . . .
. . . would be my avatar today if I had to choose one all over again.
