If there is a category in entertainment for transcendent characters, then put The Honeymooners Ralph Kramden one notch above that. A bus driver from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Kramden lectured, shouted and ranted his way right into the hearts of America. Kramden is a true icon and a legendary figure who makes faces perk and eyes widen at the mere mention of his name. Although Ralph’s get-rich-quick schemes may be completely (and hilariously) worthless, the overwhelming critical accolades this character has received are just the opposite.
