It makes be recall the story when a 60 Minutes reporter (Ed Bradley or Morley Safer?) played Gleason a game of pool during an interview. When the reporter got a little success and started getting uppity, Gleason destroyed him. :-) |

I have all 39 episodes on a set of DVD's. On the case of each DVD, they list titles for each episode that were never listed on the original show credits. There on my list of things I'd run back into a burning house for! |

The DVDs have extra material, backstories & commercials that were aired on the original 1955-56 broadcasts. Plus the DVD cases have the "titles" and the original broadcast dates in the order they were shown |

Loved all his characters,Reginald Van Gleason III, a top-hatted millionaire with a taste for both the good life and fantasy Rudy the Repairman, boisterous and boorish The Poor Soul, staring at a stretching ballerina Gleason as the Poor Soul on Toast of the Town in 1954 Joe the Bartender, gregarious and with friendly words for the never-seen Mr. Dennehy (always first at the bar) The Poor Soul, a silent character who could (and often did) come to grief in the least-expected places (or demonstrated gratitude at such gifts as being allowed to share a newspaper on a subway) Rum Dum, a character with a brush-like mustache who often stumbled around as though drunk and confused Fenwick Babbitt, a friendly, addle-headed young man usually depicted working at various jobs and invariably failing Charlie Bratton, a loudmouth who frequently picked on the mild-mannered Clem Finch (portrayed by Art Carney, a future Honeymooners co-star) Stanley R. Sogg, a pitchman, who usually appeared on commercials during late night movies and sold items that came with extras bonuses. The ultimate inducement was a 10-pound wedge of Facciamara's Macciaroni cheese. The Bachelor, a silent character (accompanied by the song "Somebody Loves Me") doing everyday things in an unusually lazy (or makeshift) way |

I saw him on a rerun of Carson (before they pushed it back later again). The guy is a class act from another generation.I don't see anything like that from our modern "stars". |
