About The Honeymooners

An offshoot of The Jackie Gleason show, "The Honeymooners" made its debut in 1955. "The Honeymoones" featured Gleason as hefty, high-strung, easily irritated New York City bus driver, Ralph Kramden who lived with his sarcastic, redheaded homemaker wife, Alice in a tenement building. Their upstairs neighbors and best friends were bumbling and goofy sewer worker, Ed Norton and his wife Trixie. The domestic life and comedic arguments of Ralph and Alice comprised the bulk of the show, as well as Ralph's "get-rich-quick" schemes that Norton was frequently an accomplice to. The show ran for an original run of 39 episodes. Later on, a number of "lost episodes" of the half-hour series were discovered. As a testament to its longevity, "The Honeymooners" still holds up well today and is as funny as ever.

Dressing up as The Honeymooners

Suit up as your favorite bus driver and sewage worker with officially licensed Honeymooners costumes. Dress up with two choices of costumes for both Ralph Kramden and his bet "pal o' mine," Ed Norton. The Ralph Kramden costume features Ralph in his familiar bus driver gear with uniform, hat, and inflatable lunch pail. Also available is Ed Norton in his regular attire, a t-shirt, vest, pants, and battered pork pie hat. Another option for both characters are the "Loyal Order of Raccoons" lodge costumes, the secret society that both Ralph and Norton are members of!
