while I was not old enough to see Jackie during the 60s, I did get to see "The Honeymooners" in the 70s in syndication.
My family had just arrived to the states then as we were refugees and during those days maybe I saw things differently than others. Could also be a cultural difference as well.
I was learning English back then as a very young child and would watch many shows, including "The Honeymooners." Maybe I am mistaken but I do not recall ever seeing Jackie's character show any type of violence to his sitcom wife, at least from my recollection.
I also really enjoyed his role in "The Hustler" which I find one of the classics of its era. Paul Newman as Fast Eddie was iconic and A M A Z I NG π
Regardless, this post was meant to highlight my joy of receiving the Apollo 11 Moonshine and the reference to Jackie Gleason was tongue in cheek. My intention was not to annoy or frustrate anyone so hopefully that is cleared up at this point π
Let's get back to our love of watches π

I grew up watching "The honeymooners" on reruns when I was a child so maybe I was taking it from that point of view as well. I am in NO WAY condoning that type of behavior BUT again I did not take it that way either. I took Jacky Gleason as a comedian, so...
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 televi...
