Ralph Kramden Statue, Port Authority Bus Terminal, NYC


An eight-foot-tall bronze statue of a jolly Jackie Gleason stands in front of Manhattan's midtown Port Authority Bus Terminal. Jackie, clad in his Honeymooner's bus driver's uniform, clutching his lunch pail, wears a satisfied expression as he looks out over the mostly indifferent passers-by on New York's Eighth Avenue. Cable television's TV Land funded the statue in cooperation with Gleason's estate and the Port Authority. It was the first of several statues commissioned by the network to honor the syndicated shows that have contributed to the TV Land’s success
