It's probably more sentimental than anything, and I know that. Still, watching old TV shows has become a pastime for me. Further still though, I will admit I don't understand the attraction of any and all old shows.
Take The Honeymooners, for example. It's supposed to be classic. And it does have its share of memorable of memorable catchphrases. 'Baby, you're the greatest' comes to mind. But every episode I see seems to revolve around Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden) screaming at everybody. Nothing more.
I don't find the character likeable, quite honestly. All. He. Does. Is. Yell. How the show became popular is beyond me.
Maybe I'm missing something. But there's a lot better old shows than The Honeymooners. Sorry, Jackie.
