X is an animated American television sitcom that ran from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions . Critics and fans alike agree that the show was an animated imitation of The Honeymooners with
rock puns thrown in. William Hanna admitted that "At that time "The Honeymooners" was the most popular show on the air, and for my bill, it was the
funniest show on the air. The characters, I thought, were terrific. Now, that influenced greatly what we did with “X"...."The Honeymooners" was there, and
we used that as a kind of basis for the concept." However Joseph Barbera disavowed these claims in a separate interview, stating that "I don't remember mentioning "The Honeymooners" when I sold the show, but if people want to
compare “X" to "The Honeymooners," then great. It's a total compliment. "The Honeymooners" was one of the greatest shows ever written.

In 1968, X founded X Limited, a coat shop in the York Hotel in New York City, with $10,000. Legend has it that a year later a buyer from Bonwit Teller got off the elevator on the wrong floor, and ended up placing a $50,000 order. It is more
likely though, that X showed his work to Bonwit Teller staff, which led to the first X collection: a line of men's and women's coats featured at the New York City
store.In 1969, Mr.X, who was later described as "the supreme master of minimalism,"
appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine. By 1971, sportswear, classic blazers as well as lingerie were added to his women's collection. In 1973, he was awarded the Coty Award for the first time, which he received for three consecutive years, for his 74-piece womenswear collection. By 1977, annual revenues had jumped up to $30 million, and he had licenses for scarves, shoes, belts, furs, sunglasses,
and sheets. X and Schwartz were making $4 million each. After the company signed licenses for cosmetics, jeans, and menswear, X's annual retail volume was estimated at $100 million. In 1978, X claimed sales of 200,000 pairs of his famous jeans the first week they were on the market. By 1981, Fortune magazine figured
X's annual income at $8.5 million a year. In the mid-1970s, he had created a designer-jeans craze by putting his name on the back pocket. IDENTIFY X.

for a club record transfer fee. He marked his first season by being Y's first player, since Robbie Fowler in 1995–96, to score more than 20 league goals in
