[.ca] The Honeymooners: Lost Episodes (Vol. 6)



Worst way to release it!:
I hate to give anything Honeymooners related a one star review but ALL of the Lost Episodes boxed sets are a joke and an example of pure greed. In set one you get nine episodes and then five bonus features that I'm not sure of exactly what they are, I'll guess either episodes or clip montages. Then if those "extras" are episodes then there are fourteen episodes. Then there is the fact that they are spread out so far over four discs, that is just plain stupid! If there are nine episodes plus reterospectives then they should be on two, maybe three discs, and the same really goes if there are fourteen episodes. Next is the packaging, could it BE any worse? First all that ever changes for the front cover from each set to the next is the color, how creative! (Note:I'm being sarcastic) Then there is the box itself, it takes up so much shelf space that you might as well just own the stinkin tapes. Finally the price. Oh the price! For five bucks less I can own The Classic 39 (on only five discs by the way). The price is FAR TOO expensive, if all six sets were combined into one package onto fewer discs and with the price given, maybe even a little more, this set would be more exceptable. What it all comes down to is that I and many others are content with The Classic 39 on DVD. I can honestly live without this, and I'm a rather large fan of the show. MPI, who released this, needs to shape up and when I see all six boxed sets condensed and put into one set at a reasonable price then I'll shell out the cash for this. Unil then, to the moon MPI, to the moon! P.S. I notice that some episodes get an 'extended version' in later sets, one version (the longer of the two) is enough.


Honeymooners boxed set; FINALLY!!!!!:
Really love this one. I particularly like the extras that these boxed sets have, such as the occasional "out of character" skits that have been included that were originally part of the old gleason show (Reginald Van Gleason is hillarious). As for the quality, it is exactly the same as when you watch it on TV. Contrary to the generation X & Y folks who expect nothing less than digital clarity beyond what the human eye can process; these shows are in the same quality as they were recorded and as they aired. This coupled with the black & white format makes for classic memories! Buy all 3 boxed sets. For any fan, it is worth OWNING these, instead of waiting for them to come on tv.


Honeymooners boxed set #2... I must own them all !!!!:
These shows always bring me up when I'm feeling down. These DVD boxed sets have bonuses and various bits that you won't find elsewhere. I do not recall the VHS tape versions of these having the extras, nor were they as easy to navigate thru, as they are on these DVD's. Included are Honeymooners BLOOPERS and a HISTORY OF THE LOST EPISODES. Very nice packaging and artwork in an extremely durable 4 DVD case. "Ralph's diet, and Holloween Party are drop dead funny! I agree with one of the other reviews for volume #1, The quality is very good & exactly as I remember them when they aired in re-runs. The camera techniques used in these shows were not of todays digital quality, but again, they are good as the finest copy that you'll find anywhere.


HONEYMOONERS BOXED DVD - Volume #3:
Nice display & photos, very good packaging case. Colorful booklet with liner notes on each episode synopsis and original dates that the shows ran. Cute colored discs. Each boxed set has 4 discs; well worth the money. Extras, bonus features, and comedy bits are found on these boxed editions. not to be found anywhere else.


HEY THERE!!!!!!!:
THE HONEYMOONERS IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST COMEDY SERIES IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION!I HAVE ALL OF THE DVD BOX SETS AND THEY ARE SIMPLY TIMELESS.IF YOU HAVE HAD A BAD DAY JUST LOOK AT THE HONEYMOONERS AND A SMILE WILL APPEAR ON YOUR FACE.THE GREATEST!!!!!!!
