Ralph Kramden is a perpetually flustered but eternally optimistic New York City bus driver living with his wife, Alice, in a small Brooklyn apartment. Ralph's best friend is sanitation worker Ed Norton, who lives in the same building with wife Trixie.
In 'Razor Blades', Ralph can't find his razor blades. In 'New Television Set', Ralph finally buys a TV. In 'Alice and Ralph Get Dressed for a Date', Ralph and Alice fight before going out with the Nortons.
Ralph pretends he is too tired to visit his mother-in-law so he can go to a bowling tournament.
Alice gets a phone despite Ralph's objections.
Ralph and Ed have to spend the night in the ancestral Kramden castle, which has a ghost.
