 This episode features the FIRST Honeymooners sketch. In the Kramdens' debut titled "Bread", an argument starts

Host Jackie Gleason
 Announcer Russell says that due to popular response, they're presenting another Honeymooners sketch. In "Razor Blades",
Ralph is lathered up but can't find any blades. He accuses Alice of taking them and goes digging through her drawer,
tossing clothing as he goes. When he comes across her wedding dress, he cools off and apologizes. [RF]

02Nov1951 DuMont Fri
Host Jackie Gleason

14Dec1951 DuMont Fri
Host Jackie Gleason
In the Honeymooners sketch "Quiz Show", Ralph goes on incessantly about Alice's wrong answer costing them a big prize
