A moon over Brooklyn and an orchestra — the sitcom that most American sitcoms since are a variation on, in thirty-nine episodes.

The Honeymooners opens with a main title sequence of 36 seconds.

It arrived on CBS in 1955, when Candid Camera, Guiding Light and Truth or Consequences were also on the network.
