Slade was best known for the 1984 hit Run Runaway and for recording the original version of Mama Weer All Crazee Now, which later became a hit for Quiet Riot. I've never seen WEER or CRAZEE in a crossword puzzle. Maybe someday a constructor will make a puzzle that includes misspelled song titles.

The Honeymooners began in 1951 as a sketch on the DuMont Network's Cavalcade Of Stars program. Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were joined by Pert Kelton, who played Alice. In 1952, when Gleason got his own weekly series on CBS, the Honeymooners sketches continued with Audrey Meadows as Alice and Joyce Randolph as Norton's wife Trixie. The regular Honeymooners series began on October 1, 1955, and lasted just one year. Incidentally, DuMont paid Gleason $1600 a week. CBS lured him away by offering $8000 a week---a considerable increase!
