I have another question, however. That evening, when Marty
finally recovered from his accident and the members of Lorraine's
family were seated about the dinner table watching
_The_Honeymooners_, the episode was, coincidentally, the same one
which his father was watching at dinner in October 1985, before
Marty took his trip to the past. This episode featured Norton
wearing a spaceman's outfit in Ralph's apartment. Marty
recognized the episode, and claimed that he had seen it before,
but a child at the table contradicted him and said that he
couldn't have since that was the first time the episode had been
shown.
Question: did _The_Honeymooners_ really run on Saturday nights,
and, if so, did that episode really air for the first time on
November 5, 1955? My wife pointed out that it would seem likely,
given that Halloween had just passed and this episode featured a
costume.
I have placed this posting in both net.tv and net.movies, and I will
make sure that both newsgroups receive an answer, should I get one.

Back when I was in Junior High I memorized the perpetual calendar
formula in the dictionary and modified it so I could do it in my head
so I always check during the movie. TIME AFTER TIME and BACK TO THE
FUTURE get it right, TERMINATOR gets it wrong. This is perfectly in
keeping my opinion of the quality of each of the three films.
>Question: did _The_Honeymooners_ really run on Saturday

Sure did. I was 5 years old at the time, but I remember the Jackie
Gleason show on Saturday nights, June Taylor dancers, and I vaguely
remember that there were comedy skits besides the Honeymooners. Of
course in the 60's they resurrected the program in color.
>and, if so, did that episode really air for the

Can't help you there.
