renegadeviking-271-528568 The Flintstones is a show that depicts life during the Stone Age. The show focuses around one family, the Flintstones. Fred is the husband that works at a quarry, Wilma is his wife, who is a homemaker. Dino, their dinosaur pet, and Pebbles, the Flintstone baby that was added during the series. Their neighbors were the Rubbles: Barney, Fred's friend that works at the quarry with him, Betty, Wilma's friend and Barney's wife, and Bamm-Bamm, their strong son that the Rubbles adopted.This was one of the best shows and it still is. It was really funny, especially the way they use animals as devices like vacuum cleaner, garbage disposal, etc. It had a great plot, great characters and voice actors, and it is original. This show is a classic, too. Overall, a classic superb show.This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, I used to watch it all the time, then later when I discovered Cartoon Network, I got to watch it more often, but now I watch it on Boomerang and on DVD.Each season offered something special and I know of this series having so many specials and movies that I can't keep track. While the animation on the show was not too impressive, the animation on the specials and movies was great. But sometimes it is simple animation to make a great show, I don't think I would like this show as much if it had better animation in place of the animation it had when it was made, One episode that confuses me however is the episode "The Snorkasaurus Hunter" While it explains how Dino came, he was really smart in that one and spoke, I wish I knew why that changed but oh well.I like many of the episodes that feature mainly Fred and Barney together because for me it had the most laughs.I loved every episode, every special, and every movie of this great series from the sixties and hope some day they all come out on DVD so I can have the whole bunch. And even after all that, The Flintstones have continued to go on with their popular cereal commercials "Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles" with while about 30 seconds, some nice laughs.I would recommend this show to many kids and many adults who love humor and a spin on a interesting vision of the past, It makes you think if the Stone Age really was modern, how life would be for you back then.
Robert Reynolds This is one of the best animated television shows of all time, a candidate, with The Simpsons, for the ranking of number one of all time. There will be spoilers ahead:William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, after they left MGM, formed a company to produce animation for television. They did Ruff and Reddy first, then two syndicated series before landing The Flintstones in prime-time in 1960. The show has been compared to The Honeymooners, for obvious reasons. The show lasted for six seasons and went through a number of changes over the years, but the basic dynamic pretty much remained the same throughout. Fred Flintstone is Everyman, a lovable loser to a degree, with Wilma, a long-suffering wife who loves him and their best friends, Barney and Betty Rubble. The show is about the trials and tribulations, the joys and happiness of their lives.Over the course of the series, both couples become parents, with Fred and Wilma having a daughter, Pebbles, and Barney and Betty adopting Bam-Bam, the world's strongest boy. The Flintstones have a pet dinosaur named Dino and the Rubbles getting a kangaroo-type dinosaur named Hoppy.The show has some extremely nice touches, with animals as the household appliances and so on. There are caricatures of famous people, with suitably altered names, in keeping with the character names of the cast-names like Stoney Curtis, Cary Granite, et cetera. There were also guest voices like Ann-Margret as "Ann-Margrock".One of the more interesting additions, for the last season, is the addition of The Great Gazoo, voiced by Harvey Korman. Gazoo is an alien banished to Stone-Age Earth for inventing a "doomsday" device. Gazoo received mixed reviews from fans, some who like him, but many who hate the character. Me, I like the character, but the scenario is far-fetched even for a cartoon. But it's the last year of the series and he doesn't hurt the legacy of the series.This is available on DVD and is well worth getting. Recommended.
Emil Bakkum The Flintstones are a part of my earliest self. Somewhere in the mid- sixties my parents bought their first television set. Yes, a black-and- white one, since a color TV was still too expensive. Apparently at the time the Flintstones were already broadcasted in the Netherlands. I quickly learned to draw Fred and his car. Also, the Flintstone and Rubble families became available as miniature figures. At the time the social contents of the series was very recognizable. Fred and Barney are the prototypes of the working man, creative but not very bright, a mixture of good and evil, often losers, but with the pride of the working class. The pattern of the big and small guy fitted nicely with earlier examples like Laurel and Hardy. The stories are energetic and in general optimistic. In short, we loved the series. Later the traditional working class returned in series like All in the family. Today the blue collar type seems to have disappeared from the screen, together with our industry for mass production. In a light-hearted manner this kind of social comedies tried to warn us about the looming dangers of our society. Quite frequently the subject is gambling or engaging in dubious affairs. In line with the late fifties the mutual friendship is kept in high regard, and conflicts always end in reconciliation. Science has shown that never before or after in history the Americans were happier. A few years later the black dissatisfaction with their civil rights would surface. But Bedrock is still a white community. It is fun. Really amazing are the technological jokes, when live animals are integrated in the stone age appliances. Usually the animal comments: "It is a living" or "It pays well". Even the tailor flight up consists of the tail of a dinosaur. It is ironic that many of those appliances have become outdated: the stone age record player, the dial-telephone, rock-and-roll music. Remote controls? No way! The episodes are full of word gags. Barney: I am not asleep. I always keep my eyes closed when you are driving. Or Fred: All films have names. That makes it easer when they hand out the academy awards. Or Fred again: I am going to build a log cabin so that I can become president some day. Or Fred once more: I don't want to talk about myself. Why don't you girls talk about me for a while? Or Wilma: Fred could not explain a can opener. And finally Dino: He is slicing to the left. Or am I wrong? Is it the right? There are even dialogs, like Fred: "How is your antenna? Barney: Fine Fred, how is yours? And these ones are all from just one disc!
