Did 'The Honeymooners' ever show Ralph & Alice's bedroom?

1. I don't think they had one.

I mean, they couldn't afford kitchen curtains, so what makes you think they could afford a bedroom?!

5. By title?

Good god no! Years ago.

But something was hidden in the dresser...he was saving to buy her a Xmas present or something...the dresser was the focus of it. She discovered something in the dresser while cleaning or folding laundry.

We are talking my childhood here, half a century ago!

7. Yeah

to the left of the bedroom...then a window with blinds...then beds to the right. Or a 'suggestion' of beds given the era it was and all. The ends of them.

There was a show where there was a commotion outside the window when Ralph was trying to sleep too...I had forgotten that one until the other post reminded me.

21. The dresser was in the kitchen.

There was another room that was never shown. I always assumed that was the bedroom. In the 1950s when this series was taped I don't think they were allowed to show the bedroom.

4. I found this one site with a bunch of guides to the episodes

Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 08:57 PM by Neo Progressive

and the only episodes where the words bed or bedroom appear is one where ralph is trying to get some sleep because he has to get to work early, but everything seems to happen outside of the room. And some episode prior to it were the cops are in his bedroom waiting for his signal, but everything happens outside of it.

But I guess it's probable there's a scene in the bedroom in either one of these episodes.

8. I read a book by Audrey Meadows...

called "Love,Alice" and she talked about how the bedroom was never shown,and even gave a description of what she imagined it might be like.

11. We use to own a Memorabilia Store

They never showed the bedroom but they brought things out of the room to make it seem as if there were a room that existed.

I use to get asked this question all of the time.

Ask me anything about I Love Lucy we were major distributors of the products that depicted all of the episodes.

I wish that I would never have lost my business because it was a fun business.

13. I think you're safe...

Bedroom dresser was in the living room and the closest we ever got to the bedroom was the door. That was it, a bedroom door. We did visit Ed and Trixie's apartment once, leopard skin print motif, oh my!

15. Good news William.

There are something like 79 Honeymooner shows that are 'lost'...so if the other person can't prove it...and they probably can't by now...you have 10 bucks.

You can have a copy shipped to you in an unmarked package for your privacy. :silly:

17. The only thing they ever showed

Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 10:48 PM by FlaGranny

was a doorway that supposedly led to another room, which I always assumed was a bedroom. I can't prove it, but I would say "no, they never showed the bedroom."

Edit: And yes, that dresser was in the living room just to the right of the bedroom door.

18. No. And I asked my dad (the foremost afficiondo on entertainment

that I have ever met) and that's a definite no. Jackie Gleason used to joke about being rooked out of a love life he tells me. I'd say you are $10 richer.

Sex wasn't invented until the 60s.
