The Animation series offers a series of exciting and action-packed comedies, with two families from the Stone Age, Flintstone and Rubel. It seems that Flintstone and Rubel offer a wide range of action and adventure. Events start where Fred wants to buy his friend's pool hall differently, as he intends to finance his purchase by betting on a week's salary in dinosaur races. On the other hand, Fred and Barney agree with the neighborhood kindergarten.
All you ever wanted was a shirt like Fred's and hair like Wilma's. If only your parents let you have a pet dinosaur, then your life would have been way easier. Sigh.
The Flintstones, just like every other Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the era, works enormously well as a kind of indoctrination for kids into sitcom tropes.
The show operates as a family sitcom that depicts zany adventures intersecting with the normalcy of married life. It just also happens to have tiny dinosaurs functioning as garbage disposals or wooly mammoths being a must-have for any bathroom.
The realness of the relationships and relatability of the characters was designed to appeal to a mature (or semi-mature) sensibility - an influence that can be seen in generations of cartoon families to follow.
Animator Carlo Vinci and background artists Fernando Montealegre and Art Lozzi, along with director Alan Dinehart under co-producers-directors Joseph Barbera and William Hanna, have delivered a likely companion piece to Huck Hound.
Playing out like an animated version of The Honeymooners, The Flinstones will amuse adults with its slick one-liners regarding marriage, making a living, and fulfilling the American dream.
A prehistoric sitcom way ahead of its time, The Flintstones beat The Simpsons to primetime by several decades, and established a market for TV cartoons aimed at adults-even if, ultimately, most of the show's audience was under 10.
This is a classic show, and while it may not be all that entertaining by today's standards, it is a major achievement in animation history and something that's certainly better than the kid's cartoons of today.
