I also remember Art Carney in three movies of his that I've seen..."The Muppets Take Manhattan" (don't remember what role his character was in that one), he played the Birdman of Alcatraz in "Alcatraz: The Whole Shocking Story!" and was Father Flanagan in "Boystown".

Loved that scene from a "The Honeymooners" clip where Ed and Ralph are learning to play golf by using an instruction book...Ralph mentions to Ed that when learning how that you have to address the ball...and Ed says while holding his club up in the air and getting ready to swing it..."Helloooo ball!"

Interesting, the movie I saw in a movie theatre was "The Muppets Take Manhattan." It was the first of only about 25 or so in my lifetime.

I don't remember Art Carney being in it. I have seen a few scenes of "The Honeymooners." The UPN affiliate in Boston (WSBK-TV 38) carried the reruns for awhile [mainly and perhaps only before UPN existed].
