One is the ancient sitcom The Honeymooners, which provided a model for the major characters and their relationships. The other is an even more ancient cartoon series — "Stone Age Cartoons", which the Fleischer Studio (home of Popeye and Betty Boop) produced for a brief period, and which anticipated by about 20 years the idea of having prehistoric animals substitute for 20th-century machinery.
