A BIRTHDAY SALUTE TO THE GREAT ONE

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!
