Honeymooners Wife Eslpod Shopping Television Tv Show Main

The Honeymooners was a popular "sitcom" (situation comedy; a humorous television show with the same main characters in each episode) in the mid-1950s. A "honeymoon" is a romantic vacation taken by a husband and wife immediately after they are married, and the term "honeymooners" usually refers to the couple enjoying the honeymoon, or to "newlyweds" (people who have recently been married). In the case of the TV show, the "honeymooners" are a couple who have been married much longer, about 15 years.

The main character is a man named Ralph. He is a bus driver who often becomes interested in "get-rich-quick-schemes" (opportunities where people believe they can make a lot of money very quickly, but usually fail), and is frustrated by his lack of success and lack of money. He loves his wife, but he is very "short-tempered" (becomes angry easily) and often "insults" (says things that hurt other people's feelings) other people.

His wife, Alice, is often insulted by her husband, and she reacts with "sarcasm" (a rude but funny way of saying the opposite of what one really means). She is smart and understands that most of Ralph's get-rich-quick-schemes won't work, but Ralph "ignores" (does not listen to; does not pay attention to) her advice and usually fails.

The "couple" (husband and wife) is close friends with another married couple, Ed and Trixie. They live in a similar apartment in Brooklyn, New York.

The Honeymooners "depicts" (shows) "humorous" (funny) interactions among these four individuals and other, less important characters. Throughout all the "mishaps" (things that did not happen as planned), Ralph was always shown to love his wife, and the character often said, "Baby, you're the greatest," giving her a hug and a kiss.
