Miodowe lata (lit. Honey years) is a popular Polish television sitcom, produced by Polsat from 1998 to 2003. It is the Polish version of the American sitcom The Honeymooners. The sitcom was realised in the Warsaw theatre.

In 2004 the sequel to the sitcom, Całkiem nowe lata miodowe, was created.

The show follows the life of two Polish families, Krawczyks and Noreks, who live in apartment in Wola on Wolska 33 street.
