    Default RITA'S CXLIV: I Don’t Care How Rough the Road is, Show Me Where it Starts

    Here's RITA's.

    It's a basic off-topic discussion thread. It is named in honor of one of our favorite posters, Awesome Rita!

    Think about it as her bar.

    Same rules as the regular board apply, except, well, the off-topic part.

    In addition, if you really must ask ridiculous questions, then you can ask that stuff here.

    Also, as I think has been born out a few times now, please try not to use this thread to discuss other threads/posts on the Community Forum (or any other forum, really). Just post in those other threads (and, if it is off-topic for that thread, then just don't post it period - or try a PM!).

    Otherwise, enjoy!

    Also, back to the TV question, I'm guessing the first case would be Jackie Gleason, doing the Honeymooners while still doing the sketch material on The Jackie Gleason Show.

    There were two? When I was little, they did the Honeymooners ON the Jackie Gleason Show.

    That's where it started, before it spun off.

    Watching the '50s ones were kind of weird for me at first, because I'd grown up with a Sheila McRae "Alice" instead of the Audrey Meadows one. Audrey was still much better, though. The whole thing was more sanitized for the '60s.

    Alright, so today I saw my friend/coworker for the 1st time after I vetoed her promotion, and she was frikkin pissed at me. I told her why I said no and just stared at me blankly and shocked by how much I observed. So she quit.

    No loss on my end. I really would hate her working for me.

    Think of it as quality over quantity,

    A lot of troll padding was gone.
    My blog.

    We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

    So what, no whimsical threats of domestic abuse? It's hardly the Honeymooners without Ralph threatening to punch Alice in the face as the audience explodes in paroxysms of gleeful laughter at the thought.

    I believe that was still there, but didn't have the believability of the '50s one. Certainly Alice wasn't as bitchy in the '60s (that's a bad thing, btw), and that kind of threw off Ralph's rages. When I compare the two, that later ones seem to be mostly about Ralph and Ed's character twitches, whereas the earlier ones had a lot more about Ralph and Alice, with a side of Norton.

    Trixie remained a non-entity in both though.

    I think a forty year friendship ended today.

    No, I don't want to talk about it.
