👎 The WORST of all the reunion Honeymooners Specials... DIRECTOR Jackie Gleason SHOULD HAVE STAYED AS AN ACTOR ONLY because his direction of this special looks like the work of a drunk behind the camera (and from reports, that may have indeed been the case) EVEN THE CHRISTMAS TREE 🎄 AT THE BEGINING OF THIS "CHRISTMAS SPECIAL" SEEMS TO VANISH like if no one even noticed... The performances are all absolutely terrible... Only Art Carney and at times Audrey Meadows seem to even remember how to play their characters... GLEASON (who had already started playing brilliantly Sherrif Buford T Justice in Smokey and the Bandit movies by this time, seems totally confused as how to play Ralph Kramden and his timing is atrocious) There is NOTHING even slightly "christmasy" about this holiday special... It is just plain BAD and an insult to the great series that The Honeymooners always was... This special should have remained LOST for the sake of all involved... Especially GLEASON.
