	Jackie Gleason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gleason was hired as the host of Cavalcade of Stars, where he originated many of his famous characters and skits, from 1950 to 1952 on the small DuMont Television Network.
		The show moved to Miami Beach starting in 1964 (reportedly so that Gleason could indulge in one of his favorite pastimes, golf, year-round) and was again called The Jackie Gleason Show for the last four years of its run, which were in color.
		Gleason's show was eventually cancelled due to declining ratings, an aging audience, and the ever-increasing costs of producing a weekly variety show live-on-tape.

	The Jackie Gleason Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jackie Gleason Show was a popular television variety show that starred Jackie Gleason and ran in a variety of incarnations, from 1952 to 1970.
		The show typically opened with a monologue from Gleason, followed by sketch comedy involving Gleason and a number of regular performers (including Art Carney) and a musical interlude featuring the June Taylor Dancers.
		Gleason portrayed a number of recurring characters, including supercilious millionaire Reginald Van Gleason III; friendly Joe the Bartender; loudmouthed braggart Charlie Bratton; mild-mannered Fenwick Babbitt; Rudy the Repairman; and a put-upon character known only as the Poor Soul, who Gleason always performed in pantomime.

	Gleason, Jackie
		Jackie Gleason must be counted among Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, and Red Skelton in the small group of creative comedy-variety stars who dominated, and to some degree invented, early television.
		The Gleason style was utterly suited to 1950s comedy-variety: the vaudeville trappings, including a live audience; the emphasis on slapstick, constant close-ups, flout segues, splintered segments and so on.
		Gleason repackaged the most popular feature of his show, The Honeymooners, into a 30-minute sitcom, while the second half of the hour was contracted to the Dorsey Brothers for a big-band musical program.

		I remember thinking that the show could be risky for it was quite removed from anything that Gleason had done and the premise of celebrities sticking their heads through a painted plywood board and quessing what historical character they were supposed to be was pretty shaky.

		Gleason created his characters such as The Poor Soul, Joe the Bartender, the Loudmouth, Charlie Bratton, Reginald Van Gleason III, and Ralph Kramden, to name just a few, because he did not feel that one personality was strong enough to to sustain an hour long show.
		Gleason had one of the fastest turnovers of writers in the industry because he was so demanding and full of expectations.
		Gleason was quoted as saying, "The excellence of the material could not be maintained and I had too much fondness for the show to cheapen it." These thirty-nine shows have supposedly rarely been off the air since they premiered in October 1955.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Honeymooners
		In 1949, Gleason, already a popular figure, tried his hand at situation comedy, playing Chester A Riley in The Life Of Riley but the show didn't suit his fast, aggressive style and it wasn't a major hit until he was replaced by William Bendix.
		Gleason was no exception - CBS signed the star for The Jackie Gleason Show (see footnote) and the entourage of players were sent out on a promotional tour, performing live at movie theatres across the country.
		Gleason's own warmth made this possible but his acting talent, his ability to bawl, swagger and bug-out his eyes, made Kramden above all a recognisably realistic character, echoes of whom can be found in such later TV comedy bullterriers as Archie Bunker, Al Bundy and Homer Simpson.

		Okay, I understand Gleason had various shows on TV from 1952 to 1970, but the show I was talking about, the Miami Beach show, was on in the mid to late '60's, and it was crap.
		Gleason was coasting on his past fame, not putting an ounce of effort into producing anything funny.
		Jackie was exciting, his show was daring, a last vestige to vaudeville (that and the Ed Sullivan Show), shot live, on stage, where anything could happen and often times did.

		In contrast to Gleason's broad, blustery Kramden, Carney's Norton was the personification of nonchalance.

		THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW was a very successful variety show in the 1950s, and its finest moments were occasional skits known as "The Honeymooners," relating the tragicomic misadventures of a frustrated blue-collar worker, Ralph Kramden, his wife Alice, and their similarly downscale neighbors, Ed and Trixie Norton.
		Having run these wildly popular skits for years, THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW was "officially" discontinued for one year in the late '50s so that "The Honeymooners" could be filmed as a sitcom.

		Gleason, Jackie (1916-1987), American comedian and actor, one of television's most popular stars in the 1950s and 1960s.
		His role in the Broadway show Follow the Girls (1945) helped earn him the title role in 1949 in a National Broadcasting Company (NBC) television series, “The Life of Riley” (1949-1950, 1953-1958).
