Flintstones: Episodes
built 615 days ago
The Flintstones band wagon was rolling full logs ahead by its third year. They always had a solid fan base but now critics, who had surprisingly shortchanged the "cartoon show" two years prior, were won over. Many episodes pariodied current culture: The Twitch spoofed the Twist craze, Hawaiian Escapade poked fun at the TV series Hawaiian Eye and Dial "S" for Suspicion gloriously tweaked the plot of the movie Dial M for Murder into comic farace. The most famous of the 28 classic episodes in this Deluxe 4-Disc Set with Fabulous Extras is the nationally anticipated birth of Pebbles in Dress Rehearsal. If the Flintstones had DVD, they'd watch this blissful collection of "home movies" over and over. You certainly will.

The Flintstones were network television’s first primetime animated family, running on ABC from 1960 to 1966. Over the course of 166 episodes, viewers followed the repercussions of Fred Flintstone’s earnest quest for the golden ring. In general, he wants something for nothing or two things at a time, and the best for his family at any cost. He is an American.

As the Flintstones and the Rubbles are set to wage a prehistoric war to see which couple has the cutest kid in town, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm seem blissfully oblivious. From the episode by the same name, this wonderful recreation of the classic 1964 moment ... features the favorite pre-historic pets Dino and Hoppy. The success of the Flintstones prime-time series paved the way for future animated shows and became one of the longest running series in history.

Each episode of The Flintstones opened with a short scene, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes prior to the main titles. During the first three seasons, this was footage that took place later in the episode, usually from somewhere in the middle. Serving as a preview, the opening teaser did not clue viewers in on the actual plot.

The famous theme song "Meet the Flintstones" was not actually introduced until the third season (1962–1963), although early versions of the melody can be heard as background music in many episodes. (The famous "Meet the Flintstones" theme, in a much longer form, first appeared on a Flintstones record released in the early 1960s). The theme used for the first and second seasons, an instrumental called "Rise and Shine", was removed from all first and second season episodes in syndication from the 1960s through the early 1990s and replaced with the "Meet the Flintstones" opening, while a closing credits sequence taken from a later episode was substituted at the end.
