A Brilliant Conflict

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

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.

I wouldn't have thought about writing a comment for this cartoon simply because its been ages since I watched an episode, but after walking into a cousins house I noticed that my youngest cousin was watching the Flintstones and singing along to the song. So I have recollected all the wonderful memories of my childhood.The cartoon itself is based on a citizen of Bedrock named Fred Flintstone who we follow through the endless adventures that he has with friend Barney Gumble. The show has great kid humour and considering that it was produced in 1960 it still holds up against any of the crap thats on TV today.I loved how the writers incorporated the cave man lifestyle with modern day advances, the mammoth that operates as the shower, the cars that run by human power.....Pure genius.

I don't care how much flack I'm going to get for this, but I'm 44 years old, and I STILL think this is the best TV show of all time! All through my school years it was broadcast every day on a local TV station at noon, and at noon every kid in town would run home, gobble down their lunches, and watch. I must have seen every episode at least 100 times, if not more. And long after I got out of school I continued the ritual. If anything, I appreciate it more now that I'm older. There was so much that resonated. The chemistry between Fred and Barney couldn't be beat. Best friends through thick and thin. Even tho they'd drive each other crazy at times, when the chips were down they'd walk thru fire for each other. I could give a million reasons why I love this show. This show is one of my happiest childhood memories, and I know I'll NEVER tire of it. Thank you Hanna and Barbera.
