If you've ever seen any sitcom, then you've probably seen "The Honeymooners." Ralph Kramden (Gleason) serves as the template for every sitcom about a short-tempered, money-hungry male protagonist. One can see echoes of Ralph Kramden in Archie Bunker, Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Doug Heffernan, and hundreds of others. Ralph's clueless best friend Ed Norton (Art Carney) is echoed in every dippy neighbor/best friend throughout sitcom history. Ralph Kramden and Fred Flintstone are practically the same character, while Barney Rubble is wholly Norton in voice and demeanor.
