The Honeymooners returned to television full-force on September 17, 1966, with the first episode of the full-color "Honeymooners Trip to Europe" saga, which aired on Jackie Gleason's Miami-based variety series. Gleason and Art Carney were back as Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton, with Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean joining the cast as, respectively, Alice Kramden and Trixie Norton. "In Twenty-Five Words or Less" finds Ralph seething with jealousy when his brother-in-law (George O'Hanlon wins an all-expense-paid trip to Europe. Determined to top this, Ralph begins entering every contest imaginable, buying scores of grocery products and hoarding hundreds of box tops. Victory is his when he wins a slogan contest sponsored by Flakey-Wakey diet breakfast cereal -- but in the end, it proves to be something of a hollow triumph. Decked out in full color and with several songs by Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler, "In Twenty-Five Words or Less" is a remake of a Honeymooners sketch that aired live on February 2, 1957. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
