Synopsis of The Honeymooners: The Baby-sitter
Against Ralph's orders, Alice has a telephone installed in their apartment. When Ralph finds out, he explodes, then storms out of the apartment. While sitting in the barbershop and rehearsing an apology to his wife, Ralph overhears two strange men discussing Alice's "availability." Our hero jumps to the obvious conclusion, little realizing that Alice has made herself "available" as a baby-sitter so that she can pay the phone bills. The misunderstanding is played to the hilt, with Ralph elaborately staging a "discovery and renunciation" scene to catch his wife in the act of infidelity. Written by Leonard Stern and Sidney Zelinka, "The Baby-sitter" originally aired on January 21, 1956. (Trivia alert: The phone number mentioned throughout the episode -- Bensonhurst 3-7741 -- turned out to be an actual working number; that's why the first digit has been bleeped out of all existing prints). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
