Although this 60-minute, full-color Honeymooners episode takes place entirely in Brooklyn, it has been syndicated as part of the ten-episode The Honeymooners Trip to Europe package. Making fun of the fact that his pal Ed Norton is apparently henpecked by his wife, Ralph Kramden insists that he is the king of his castle, advising Ed to adopt the same attitude. As a result, Ed and wife Trixie (Jane Kean) have a terrible argument, which spills over into a domestic squabble between Ralph and his wife Alice (Sheila MacRae). The girls walk out on their husbands, leaving the boys to do their own cooking and cleaning. After a week of bad food and dirty laundry, Ed is all for apologizing, but stubborn Ralph stands firm -- for a few minutes anyway. A remake of the 1954 Honeymooners sketch "Battle of the Sexes," with new songs by Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler added to the mixture, "King of the Castle" first aired January 7, 1967, as an episode of Jackie Gleason's Miami-based variety series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
