Today would have been Jackie Gleason's 96th birthday. To celebrate, here
are a few videos in his memory....
First up, a tribute from this morning's edition of 'Sunday Morning' on
CBS:
And here we have the famous televised diatribe that replaced the second
episode of a game show in which Jackie participated.....
And finally? Something that may not be out of this world but it's
certainly out of this country - an episode from the Polish version of 'The
Honeymooners'!
This is not from some Polish-dominated alternate TV dimension. This is
from Earth Prime-Time. Just another example of how certain archetypes are
echoed all over the world (a la 'The Office', 'Desperate Housewives', 'Ugly
Betty', and 'The Big Bang Theory' (porno version included!)
BCnU!

Oddly, without knowing about his birthday, I just posted a YouTube video of Jackie's first TV series, the 1949 "Life of Riley."
