    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Audrey Meadows was the only cast member to receive residual payments for the show for her entire life. This was a result of her shrewd manager, who predicted the prospect of a "rerun" even in the early stages of television, before precedent was set for it. As a part of her contract, she was told to stipulate that if the show were to air in subsequent time slots in the future, she would be paid royalties, which is an interesting bit of history, because it's now a standard condition for all television work that the involved parties from an episode should get paid for each showing of it. These days it applies to directors, actors, actresses, writers, and voice actors, along with others in different capacities as well.
    • Goofs
      The background in the Kramden's window changes. Sometimes there are windows and fire escapes. Other times the fire escapes aren't there. This happens within episodes, not just from one episode to another.

    • Alternate versions
      Besides the modification to the opening title sequence when prepared for syndication, original announcer Jack Lescoulie's voice was replaced with that of Gaylord Avery, a longtime CBS staff announcer.

    A Blue-Collar Classic in a White-Collar Decade
    Poor bus driver Ralph (Gleason), he's got all these little guy dreams in a big guy world. But no matter how many times his big dreams fail, he's ready to try again. Good thing he's got his Alice (Meadows). She's the sensible bedrock holding things together, even in that dumpy little flat where nothing is put between us and the characters of this classic comedy series. In fact, her deadpan face-offs with a bellowing Ralph are real hoots. But she better be a rock because "sanitation engineer" and upstairs neighbor Norton (Carney) falls for every one of Ralph's cockamamie schemes. It doesn't matter how loony they are, good old Ed will go along, a real buddy. Together, the two of them get a ton of laughs out of the kind of unlovely jobs that hold us all together. And shouldn't overlook Trixie (Randolph). She's there to support Alice and keep Ed from spiraling off with Ralph. Maybe there's not many laughs from Trixie, but there is a lot of good solid support. No doubt, it may be the men we laugh at, but it's the women we respect. And if there was ever better chemistry, more underlying pathos, or more laughs in a comedy series of any decade, I haven't seen it. A genuine blue-collar classic from an unlikely white-collar decade.
