Gleason's 'Honeymooners' -- episodes from '60s TV show on DVD BY STEVE ROTHAUS srothaus@MiamiHerald.com

Each week during his 1960s CBS variety show from ''the sun and fun capital of the world,'' Jackie Gleason proclaimed: ``The Miami Beach audience is the greatest audience in the world!''

''He yelled it and everybody heard it,'' said Gleason's widow, Marilyn, who still lives in Fort Lauderdale. ``That was part of his genius.''

Show-biz genius or PR hype by The Great One?

Modern-day audiences can judge for themselves. This week, the Gleason family has released nine uncut episodes of The Color Honeymooners on DVD (MPI Home Video, $40).
