The Honeymooners: Alice and the Blonde (1956)
Season 1, Episode 36
The Boss's New Wife
24 August 2017
Poor Ralph. He and Ed don't get back from the Raccoon Lodge until 2am. So guess what the neglected Alice has to say. Worse, the Lodge is going broke and guess who's treasurer. But Ralph's got a plan. He'll take the two couples to his new boss's new apartment and new wife for dinner and then spread on the compliments. That's bound to get him a raise that he can use to help the Lodge (I think, though it isn't made clear). But when they get there, they get a surprise that really leaves Alice and Trixie neglected.

There's the usual laughs and bluster from our hero. Still, there's a tricky underside about the wives suffering neglect that's kind of poignant. But then it is 1956 and Hollywood's breathless new blonde superstar is dominating the big screen. Worse, it's happening even here, much to Alice and Trixie's consternation.
