Meet The Flintstones in this prehistoric Hanna-Barbera production. Primetime's first animated series was also the longest running until The Simpsons came along. Not so coincidentally, the two shows aren't all that different--even if the former emerged in the sixties, the latter in the eighties. Fred (Alan Reed), patriarch of the cave-dwelling clan, may be marginally more intelligent than the similarly blue collar Homer, but most storylines still revolve around his more dunderheaded moves. Fortunately, wife Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and Barney (Mel Blanc) and Betty Rubble (Bea Benaderet), their neighbors, are usually able to set things right. That was also true for Ralph Cramden of The Honeymooners, a direct influence (Reed even sounds like Jackie Gleason). But Ralph didn't have a pet dinosaur and he did live in the Modern Age--if you can call the fifties "modern"--rather than the Stone Age.

This long-awaited DVD set includes all 28 episodes of the first season, including the lost Flagstones pilot. Notable segments include "Hot Lips Hannigan"--one of several riffs on beatnik culture--in which Fred, aka "The Velvet Smog," sings and Barney beats the traps and "The Creature From the Tar Pits," in which Fred fills in as Gary Granite's stunt double in a Bedrock-set horror flick.

The Flintstones's first season introduced two timeless couples from another time. Its success led to a theatrical release, two live-action features, and countless specials and spin-offs. New viewers may be surprised to find that Dino doesn't make his official entrance until episode 18 ("The Snorkasaurus Story"), that Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm aren't in the first season at all, and that the famous theme won't hit the airwaves until the third (replacing instrumental "Rise and Shine"). Those quirky quotes, however, were in effect from the start: "Wiiilmaaaaaaa!," "Droll, very droll" and, especially, "Yabba-dabba-doo!!!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

The Flintstones was pitched to the network as an animated version of Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners. Now the honeymoon never has to end with this 4-disc set of the 28 episodes of the entire (pre)historic first season, full of terrific extras and trivia that will make fans shout "Yabba dabba doo!"

More pluses than minuses.......2007-07-02

I bought this as soon as I saw it for two reasons: the opening and closing sequences and the commercials. I was happy with the former, disappointed with the latter, which connects with the one overall beef I have with this DVD set.

As for the episodes, you'll notice they're drawn differently than in later years. The characters seem to be larger in relation to their surroundings. I find the animation, limited animation though it is, to be funnier than in the later eps. You'll also notice no Pebbles or Bamm-Bamm. They wouldn't enter the picture until the third and fourth seasons, respectively. It's nice watching Fred and Barney carry the action during the early seasons.

For years, the original openings and closings of the first season were replaced by the better remembered scenes and songs of the later seasons. So generations of Flintstone fans didn't know that the phrase "someday, maybe Fred will win the fight/and that cat will stay out for the night" actually referred back to the original closing. Or that, like Mary Tyler Moore and The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Flintstones' most famous theme song wasn't the original one.
Also, the opening scenes might remind younger viewers of The Simpsons opening. There's more than a little irony there, as The Simpsons long ago surpassed The Flintstones as the longest running animated prime time show and that the very creative Matt Groenig might've been ripping off Hanna-Barbera, a team that ranks just below Linda Ronstadt as ripoff artists.

Speaking of which, that's one disappointing thing in the extras. Maybe I missed it, but nowhere does anyone acknowledge that The Flintstones is The Honeymooners taken from the 1950s to the Stone Age and set in the suburbs.

But that's keeping with another little manipulation in the extras. Big ups for including the commercials, a reminder of when television shows were sponsored by one or two sponsors, the cast did commercials for those products in character and sometimes images of those products dominated the closing credits. Most shows altered those closing credits for syndication and DVD release. Here, we see the ads for 1-A-Day and Alka Seltzer, clearly done to be placed just after the opening sequence and before teh closing credits. But the commercial for Winston cigarettes? Nowhere, as if to deny that part of the show's history.

Yeah, yeah, kids will be watching this, blah, blah, blah. Hey, if Time Warner can put some of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons with politically incorrect racial images on a DVD with a "it's wrong, but that's the way it was" disclaimer, then Time Warner can let us see Fred and Barney hawking ciggies. As with Joe Camel, if your kid starts smoking because some cartoon character is pushing the product, the problem ain't with the cartoon character. And, trust me, I'm a major anti-smoker, but I find cigarette ads fascinating.

This is, to me, still the best of the Flintstone DVDs I own. Maybe it's because I'm OD'd on the seasons with the kids because my daughter loves those, so they've been in Heavy Rotation for the last year. But I think it's just because the early seasons of The Flintstones were the best.

"WiillMAAAA!".......2007-06-26

I knew I had great memories of this series for a reason.

I can remember watching this series in prime time when I was a kid with my parents, and all of us laughing. I think it is difficult now, after the glorious onslaught of great prime time animation like the Simpsons and Family Guy, to appreciate what a revolutionary show the Flintstones was. These 28 episodes aired in 1959-60, and the concept of airing an animated situation comedy for adults was pure lunacy - not to mention that the show was set in the Stone Age. I can only imagine the blank stares or nervous sideways-glances cartoon geniuses William Hanna and Joe Barbera must have gotten in television's executive boardrooms.

Luckily, sometimes cream really does rise to the surface. All I can say is if you are a baby-boomer like me, watching the first season of this classic series is a pure pleasure. Not to wax nostalgic, but man - what a great rush. The writing on this series was always sharp with a hip edge (not quite as caustically brilliant as the Bullwinkle Show, but more warm and human). The vocal talent was unbelievable. I can remember feeling as a boy that the gentle yet sometimes sarcastic voice of Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and the sweet, bubbly voice of Betty (Bea Benaderet) were somehow the template for how adult women sounded and talked. And somehow whenever Barney spoke, it was funny, for which we can credit the acting prowess of Mel Blanc.

Finally, as with all the currently released Hanna/Barbera DVD sets, these cartoons look fantastic. The colors are brilliant and the sound is beautiful (remember that fantastic sound Barney always made when chomping into a pterodactyl drumstick or sandwich?).

If you were too young to catch this series the first time around, do yourself a favor and meet the Flintstones. They're a modern, Stone Age family and they live right down the street.

All in all, a real gift on DVD. --- Mykal Banta

The Flintstones was still very popular when the fourth season opened with what may the most famous single episode: "Ann-Margrock Presents." Ann-Margaret, who had become an overnight sensation in "Bye Bye Birdie" (1963), provided the voice for her caricature. During the 1962-63 season, the series had made cartoon history when Wilma became pregnant. According to Joe Barbera, Wilma and Fred were originally going to have a son, Fred Jr., but potential profits from doll and toy sales changed the offspring to a girl. (Ideal's Pebbles doll earned almost $20 million in 1963, and General Mills introduced the "Pebbles" sugar cereal.) During the fourth season, the Rubbles adopted a super-strong baby boy named Bamm-Bamm, who had been left on their doorstep, and provided a playmate for her.

Ann-Margaret's appearance led to a spate of celebrity caricatures and spoofs of other TV shows, including Candid Camera ("Peek-A-Boo Camera") and Sing Along with Mitch ("Hum Along with Herman" in "The Flintstone Canaries"). "Ladies Night at the Lodge" feels like an old I Love Lucy episode, as Betty and Wilma sneak into the Water Buffalo Lodge and get paddled for their pains. Many observers noted The Flintstones was essentially Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners in caveman costume, but the TV parodies and the reliance on such gimmicks as aliens producing robotic versions of Fred in "Ten Little Flintstones" make it clear that the show was running out of gas. (Unrated, suitable for ages 7 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

It Starts With the Theme Music.......2006-12-03

My daughter who is mentally challenged was given the first series by a dear friend and it goes to show you how addictive the Flintstones can be and to never underestimate special children's sense of stimulation. Little did I know how much she loved the Flintstones until we popped in the tape on her birthday and the theme music starts to play. That alone caused her to sit still long enough to watch it until the end. So now I'm thinking why not buy her more. I am purchasing three of the series now and the remaining episodes after the holidays. Way to go Amazon. You're tops in my book.

Before elementary school, I attended Flintstones 101........2006-06-10

"Nice, and slow. That's the way ya gotta do it. Nice and slow."

OK boys and girls, name the episode!

Back when I was a kid, I spent too many afternoons watching reruns of the Flintstones, Warner Brothers Cartoons, and the Jetsons on the Boston UHF stations. Even as I grew older, I never stopped enjoying these episodes when I happened to find them while channel surfing. It seems incredible, but these half-hour programs aged better than a fine bottle of Burgundy.

Kids could enjoy them on a primary level, while adults could pull the most amazing collection of complex and intricate jokes, sly inuendos and inside references to modern culture out of every half hour showing. I probably learned more about modern culture and 20th century history from watching these cartoons than from any other source. What kid could identify Hoagy Carmichael? Well I could, because I caught a reference to him on a Flintstones cartoon, and started asking questions. Arthur Murray? I knew him too as the Flintstones dance instructor Arthur Quarry. I even knew more about Hollywood "in spots" like the Cafè Trocadero (Café Rockadero) than I did about those in my own city thanks to Flintstone references. They were as intellectual as a college classroom lecture.

It was obvious that some very talented, passionate people had a hand in bringing this creative concept to life. And to think, these cartoons are still beloved today, even though they are about as G-rated as you can get.

I'll probably never meet a single person who was involved in this particular project, but I hope that they'll somehow find out just how much pleasure that they've brought to me all of these years. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.

The Flinstones Fourth Season.......2006-06-01

It's great to finally have the Flintstones cartoons on DVD. I love them and never get tired of watching them. This DVD comes with a lot of Special Features. It's well worth the money. Commentaries are also included. If you are a Flintstones fan this is a must have DVD!!!

5 stars for Ann-Margrock!.......2006-04-18

If you've ever seen this episode of The Flintstones, you know it's worth the price of the whole set just for the Ann-Margrock episode.
I haven't seen this in probably 30 years and can't wait to see it again!!
This is a very light/fun series that brings back many happy childhood memories for me and I think it would for the kids of today as well.
Peace :o)

Flintstones, Season 4.......2006-03-09

It is just so great to have these episodes on DVD. You have to get them for your children so they can watch some decent cartoons instead of the crap on TV now. My 22 yr old chidren still watch them, I am 45 and still watch them, and when I have grandchildren, they will watch them too!!! Buy all six seasons, each one is better than the last.

Description

For those who leave no stone unturned, here's the sixth and final season of the greatest archeological dig in cartoon history. And its 26 episodes are treasure well worth excavating! Exploring every realm of popular parody, The Flintstones delighted kids but tickled adults even more with howlingly funny takeoffs of such "trendy" TV shows as Bewitched (with the voices of Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York in Samantha), award-winning movies (My Fair Freddy and The Treasure of Sierra Madrock) and kitschy spoofs of Hollywood royalty in Return of Stoney Curtis. The show's writers even had the foresight to project into the future, as in The Long Long Long Weekend, guest-starring the series' newest character, space alien Gazoo.

the final installment of the flintstones provides viewers with countless laughs and adventures throughout the set. The Great Gazoo is an excellent addition to the show also. Of course i recommend buying all six seasons, but if you can only buy one, make sure it is season 6, you won't regret it.

A Classic!.......2007-01-11

The Flintstones are a classic! This is great viewing for the new generation as well as the old. This beats the cartoons of today. My six year old son enjoys it.

I ADMIT IT I'M A TRUE FLINTSTONE FANATIC!!!!!.......2005-07-19

I could hardly wait to add The Flintstones season 2 to my dvd collection!!! I just adored the episode of Alvin Brickrock, which is a pretty funny parody of Alfred Hitchcock, "Good Evening"! I could'nt help watching the episode when Fred became a bus driver over and over. The scene when he picks up the kids and meets their crazy parents is too funny!
My only complaint is the lack of decent extras. Eventhough all the original actors are no longer living, it would have been nice for Warner Bros. to include a tribute remembering Alan Reed,Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderette, and Jean Vanderpyl. Fortunately I was able to do a major search on the internet for biographies on each actor and see what they all looked like. Oh well I suppose it's more important for Warner Bros. to make a fast buck than spend a little extra effort on this classic cartoon series. I think if Hanna-Barbera still owned the rights to their priceless video library the Flintstones would have been released with all the trimmings like the Simpsons.

YABBA-DABBA-HONEYMOONERS!.......2005-06-10

Here's another bonanza for "Flintstones" fans old and new, including people like myself who've probably seen every single episode two or three times over (I'm old enough to remember when it was still in prime time). As with the first-season package, this is the pre-Pebbles era- classic Fred and Barney, in the Kramden-Norton tradition. The first episode here is not only a classic, but the answer to a great cartoon trivia question: who was the only celebrity to appear, in an animated likeness of course, as himself? Would you believe Hoagy Carmichael? The great songwriter shows up in "Hit Songwriter", when Fred takes his original song lyric to a piano player who rips off "Star Dust". Hoagy writes and sings an original called "Yabba-Dabba-Doo" here (watch how his piano turns into a suitcase!).
Proving once again that even an ancient cartoon could forecast future trends, Fred's in an all-night poker game, gets clobbered as a Little League umpire, and really goes to town when Wilma stumbles into the "Happy Housewife" TV show (brought to you by Rockenschpeel's Meats) and displays "My dinner! On TV!"
With no babies to clutter things up, the original "Honeymooners"-
style tone of this show combines with the simple animation (these artists made raised eyebrows an art form) to show why "The Flintstones" was the best-known and best-loved animated sitcom of them all until the much different, much more cynical "Simpsons"-era shows of today emerged.
The Flintstones and Rubbles really jelled in both appearance and personality, though some of the other regulars (Mr. Slate, Arnold the paper boy) have different looks in this early period. The Mr. Slate we know and love, for instance, had the same voice (John Stephenson) and look (bald with glasses) but a different name (Mr. Rockhead). Looks to me like the artists tried different character sketches- who says Hanna-Barbera was over-simplified? Of course, the original voices can't be beat- Henry Corden, who passed away recently, actually voiced Fred for longer than Alan Reed did, but Alan Reed was the only Fred that mattered. Bea Benaderet, with her wacky little-old-lady voice, was the real Betty Rubble. (She left to join "Petticoat Junction" in '63 and passed away a few years later.)
Extras here include a routine documentary with mostly talking-heads (a couple of surviving animators). A couple of very crude commercials (not, alas, including the notorious Winston spot) are here too- anyone else remember Welch's grape jelly in glasses with Flintstone cartoons on them? We must have had half a dozen. The absolute cheesiest item, however, is the complete "Songs of the Flintstones" album- yes, there was such a thing, with the cast doing mostly spoken bits over Hoyt Curtin's familiar, and eerily Lawrence Welk-ish, background music. The tracks include the original "Rise and Shine" theme with lyrics (forgettable), the "Meet the Flintstones" theme with different lyrics ("Meet the Rubbles!"), and the "Car Hop" song (completely out of context). Stills from the show are used as visuals- like I said, this section is so kitschy it's funny.
In an early "Jetsons" episode, Elroy's class-clown buddy, Kenny Countdown, is docked from class because he's watching "the billionth repeat of 'The Flintstones'" on his wristwatch TV. With these DVDs, there just might be a billionth rerun in our future!

The modern Stone Age family on DVD!.......2005-04-22

Turning the television world flat on its head, The Flintstones became the first animated hit series in prime time history. Set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock, the show explored the lives of ancient cave dwellers through the lens of a modern lifestyle, with bird beaks acting as phonograph needles, elephant trunks as vacuum cleaners, and fireflies as light bulbs. With its measured use of top-grade humor and clever visuals, The Flintstones became an instant smash hit - spawning decades of syndicated re-runs, spin-offs, and thousands of derivative products...

Loosely modeled after the hit show The Honeymooners, The Flintstones follows the lives of burly loudmouth Fred Flintstone (who has a heart of gold) and his wife Wilma (who puts up with him). The couple lives next door to best friends Barney and Betty Rubble, and they have a dog (a dinosaur) named Dino to keep them company. Following in the footsteps of shows such as I Love Lucy, the show's characters are always inventing hair-brained schemes, attempting to cover up little white lies, or engaging in some other form of behavior bound to get them in trouble. The Flintstones also features numerous cameo appearances parodying famous personalities from the early-sixties... In the show's later years, each couple would add a child to the mix with Fred & Wilma having Pebbles (a little girl) and Barney & Betty adopting Bamm-Bamm (a little boy)...

The Flintstones (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "The Hit Song Writers" in which Fred discovers that Barney is actually a talented poet. Introducing Barney to his songwriter friend Hoagy, the three produce a hit song that climbs the charts... Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "The Little White Lie" in which Fred tells Wilma he's going to visit a sick friend, but instead goes off to play poker (where he wins $200 he then must explain to Wilma), and "The Gambler" in which Fred's long ago kicked gambling habit once more rears its ugly head...

The DVD Report

Flintstones a good cartoon.......2005-01-02

The second season of Flintstones is now out on DVD. This set collects the 32 episodes of season 2 (versus the 28 of season 1) onto one set of four DVDs. There's so much great content that one of the DVDs is even double sided!

First off, I have to come clean. I didn't have time to watch all of the episodes. I mean, come on! There's 32 episodes, about 20 minutes long apiece. That's over ten hours, and that doesn't even include the bonus features. What I did instead was watch a couple of episodes, then check out the bonus features.

The episodes themselves have not been remastered or anything, which is good. They still have the film artifacts on them, just as they have in reruns for years. And, unlike Lucas with his movies, I wouldn't have it any other way with the Flintstones.

Of special note for those who haven't picked up season one is the opening theme song. The song wasn't changed to the familiar "Flintstones, meet the Flintstones" until the third year. However, when the episodes were distributed for syndication, the original beginning was stripped off the first and second season episodes, and replaced with the more familiar theme song. So it was neat to hear this old classic.

The bonus features were great as well. The best one was the feature Carved In Stone: The Flintstones Phenomenon. I also enjoyed the classic commercials and Flintstone Art. Oh, and in the Carved In Stone feature they also showed the original pilot, The Flagstones.

All in all, this is a great set for any animation fan to pick up. And if you're a Flintstones fan, it's a must have.

By the prehistoric program's fifth year, Pebbles (born in the third) and Bamm-Bamm (adopted in the fourth) can walk, but they can't yet talk--although they sure can babble. Well, who needs talking toddlers when your son is the strongest in the world? In the season premiere ("Hop Happy"), Barney Rubble (Mel Blanc, sounding a lot like Dustin Hoffman) decides to purchase a pet for the powerful kid. After all, the Flintstones have Dino, and there's only so much of the purple pup to go around, so he brings home a "hopparoo" named Hoppy. Another fifth season highlight is "Monster Fred," in which Flintstone (Alan Reed) is bopped on the noggin with a bowling ball. Barney takes him to a Dr. Frankenstone who switches his personality with Dino's. Then he switches Fred's with Barney's--and that's just to start. There are a number of other monster movie/television show parodies. In "A Haunted House is Not a Home," Giggles Flintstone names Fred his sole heir--if he'll spend a night in his eccentric uncle's spooky mansion. Then in "The Gruesomes," diminutive Weirdly and willowy spouse Creepella move in next door. Heck, they even have their own TV show. As usual, the pop culture references and goofy puns are half the fun, as when Fred refers to a certain mop-topped quartet as "The Bagels." Several episodes later, the Stone Age band are introduced as "The Four Insects." Their specialty? Why, "bug music," of course. Then there's the time Fred and Barney appear, as a ventriloquist and his dummy, on "The Ed Sullystone Show" ("Itty Bitty Freddy") or when they find themselves in the middle of a real-life "Jay Bondrock" movie ("Dr. Sinister"). This four-DVD boxed set features all 26 episodes from the 1964-1965 season--each one "a page right out of history!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

In Season Five, the Flintstones and Rubbles still delight young and old with prehistoric versions of modern conveniences and modern predicaments. Over 26 episodes on 4 discs, the two families travel in a time machine, tangle with jewel thieves, spies and celebrity cops and get caught in a handful of show-business fiascos. Usually at stage center, fathead Fred is menaced by a mad scientist, joins a rodeo, takes flying lessons, impersonates royalty and plays Santa Claus in a really big way.

the flintstones season 5.......2007-05-07

the best cartoons a child or nostalgic adults could watch. i highly recommend season 5.

The Flintstone's rock!.......2007-03-23

I didn't know which season to pick until I read the reviews- so thanks to those who submitted them! I was a huge Flintstone's fan as a kid and my daughter is now hooked on them! The first set I bought didn't have Pebbles, BamBam & Dino in some of the episodes, but this one has them all. We watch the DVDs together- sure beats having to suffer through some of the junk cartoons that are out now! Well worth the $$

Dissapointing not in Spanish!.......2007-01-24

I usualy like shows in their original language but flinstones are better in Spanish! even hanna barbera said that it was the best adaptation and the version in spanish goes better with the personalities of the characters.
I dont now why they didnt made this one in Spanish.

"CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!!!".......2006-06-02

The Fifth Season of The Flintstones is probably the most memorable. The Christmas episode has been one of my most favorites. Fred working at Macyrocks dressed up as Santa himself...this ranks right up there with the other holiday classics...Rudolph,Frosty,etc. [...]

Description

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.

Good Memories.......2007-03-09

I'm glad they have a way for people to buy old cartoons that I grew up on. Good series.

Five stars for Season 3.......2007-01-12

My wife and I have always been fans of the Flintstones. This is a good season because it includes the birth of Pebbles. Highly recommended.

Great fun.......2007-01-12

These episodes are such fun to watch--especially with your children. Great nostalgia fix for parents.

Which season is best? Well..........2005-12-06

It's a tough call for me between the first and third seasons.

I found the first season memorable because it had many classic gags, I enjoyed the relative simplicity of the stories, and they seemed to have more focus on the "prehistoric" aspects. I've always loved the episode "The Flintstone Flyer", I even remember building a model of the Flyer from scratch when I was a kid. And although they've always denied a connection with the Honeymooners, at least a few of the stories seem like rehashed Honeymooners episodes.

The third season has more involved plots, the running theme of "Wilma's having a baby! Nope, not yet..." and a lot more parody. Would probably have more appeal to today's adults, though I find many of the stories too bizarre to be believable. (I can sorta buy the idea of a human-powered helicopter made out of wood, it fits in with the cartoon's physics... but the third-season "Foxy Grandma" episode involving an old woman bank-robber who throws dynamite sticks was just too much.)

The second season wasn't as strong, many of the plots seemed like repeats from the first season and it lost much of the prehistoric charm. And while I'll buy the complete fourth season just to round out the collection, those shows are typically my least favorite by far. They went much too far with the bizarre stories; I never liked The Great Gazoo or uber-strong Bamm-Bamm, and there was way too much emphasis on the kids doing totally unbelievable things.

What ultimately killed the original Flintstones series was a lack of consistency in writing and portrayal of the characters, few or no running threads throughout the show, and the tendency for cartoons back then (and even many ordinary shows) to become increasingly outlandish over time. They seemed to have lost their original focus on being a cartoon for adults, especially in the last season--though granted it was a fairly novel idea to have "real" human characters doing human things in a cartoon, so I'll cut them some slack.

The quality of the DVDs in this set are much the same as the others, although I did notice two or three episodes had noticeable (but not horrible) video noise, and a couple of episodes had lower-than-normal audio levels (just crank up the volume a bit for those). Probably just means they couldn't find original sources for some of them and had to resort to other means... I haven't checked out the extras, though on this set they used both sides of the last disc to hold episodes instead of using the flip side for extras.

Here's my take: if you're not that familiar with the Flintstones then start with the first season, it's the most firmly grounded of the four seasons. If you really like it, check out some of the others. The third-season episodes are some of the best, but there are a few stinkers.

Great addition to my collection.......2005-09-21

This is another great addition to my Flintstones collection , i enjoyed this box set very much . the company has also enclosed a cartoon cell which is really nice , cant wait to frame it. all fans will love this box set . cant wait for the fourth , fifth and sixth seanons.

The Compleat Flintstones.......2007-05-12

What can I say, this is almost what I was waiting for. The only problem was that each season is individually boxed as if I bought them separately. I was hoping for an individual box. But other than that you have every episode of the series, including the Christmas episode, and something that was missing for years, the opening sequence following the credits that was always cut for time in sindication. Still a must have.

The Flinstones ROCK!.......2007-02-05

My daughter watched this one night on t.v. and thoroughly enjoyed it! We searched all over for this DVD and finally found it! She was thrilled recieving it and watches it again & again!

Rosie should have won an Oscar!.......2007-01-15

This is a fabulous movie, from beginning to end, making epic movies like "Ben Hur", "Gone with the Wind", and "The Guns of Navarone" look like Bugs Bunny cartoons. John Goodman portrays the noble Fred, but Rosie is everything you would want her to be. Glamorous, witty, sexy, charming, and above all, realistic in her portrayal of a cartoon cavewoman. It's easy to see how the fiesty Rosie wound up on "The Veiw".

This inspired portrayal of the sensitive Betty Rubble, should have at least won an Academy Award nomination. After all, millions of American elementary school kids think of Rosie as Betty Rubble, not as a comic actress! Since no academy award nomination took place I can only applaud for exposing the vanity of paunchy males with stupid looking hairdo.

You go Girl!

Flintstone Pack.......2006-11-07

If you are a Flintstone fan - the first movie is a treat - bringing the characters to life and reminding us of the original story line. The sequel can be tossed.

I Love Rosie O'Donnell :-) .......2006-07-16

Rosie O'Donnell is Great. She is the best Actress around. I grew up with the Flinstones as a kid.That's why I enjoy this.

Good family fun.......2004-10-09

It is a real treat to see the flinstones first live action film if you are a fan of the cartoon series.It is a film that adults and children can enjoy together. The town of Bedrock looks great and it looks like it does in the cartoalso good playing the role ofon show.John Goodman was an excellent choice for the role of Fred. Rick Morranis is also does a good job portraing the role of Barney. The rest of the cast is also good.You also see Halley Berry have small role in the film. The sequel is not that great because the sequel is a prequel. I am not a big fan of prequels and not a fan of this one either. There is not alot of star power in this film.The kid will enjoy more than the adults. But it is kind of interesting to see how Fred and Willma first met and how they get their pet Dino. All an all this is good family fun for you and your child.

This pleasant, lightweight live-action version of the popular cartoon is about as good as you might expect. The kids should love the broad humor and the Henson Studios creatures, but like The Addams Family movies, the look and the cast are the best things going for it. Considering that the nature of the material is so sparse, the thinly plotted story works better than other TV-to-movie fare. Our fabulous Stone Age man is promoted per a calculated move by a scheming exec (Kyle MacLachlan, whose casting ensured at least one cute guy). As a comedy, the humor is one-note and flat for anyone older than 12. The special-effects creatures look wondrous, though not as seamless as in other movies, such as in Roger Rabbit. The most joyous moments come during the full-scale re-creations of the famous credits. The Flinstones provided a major launching pad for Halle Berry as a vamping secretary. --Doug Thomas

Don't be fooled by this ............2007-04-25

Okay, this was an okay. John Goodman and Elizbeth Perkins are great as Fred and Wilma. The producers couldn't of picked a choice. Rick Moranis was terrific as Barney Rubble. He hasn't lost his comedic touch. Even Hally Berry was good as the seductive, Ms. Rosetta Stone. However, once again Rosie O'Donnell just didn't cut it as Betty Rubble. Her preformance in this film was just not as good, as it could be. Which is a shame, cause this could of been a great film.

Love Rosie O'Donnell .......2007-02-10

Rosie O'Donnell is Great in this movie. I Love her character in the movie.

Yabba Dabba DON'T!.......2006-08-15

I recently watched The Flintstones, a stone-studded masterpiece from 1994 and, though I can't say I was necessarily surprised by the execution, (I choose my words carefully) of the film, I was interested in the decision to even make such an ill-fated concept of a live action feature.

I mean are we, as the audience, truly to believe that John Goodman (no chiseled features here), Rick Moranis, Elizabeth Perkins and Rosie O'Donnell, are actually Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty? Apparently the makers of Hollyrock's latest White Mastodon would have you suspend your disbelief in this regard. Goodman plays Fred more like Jackie Gleason's Ralph Kramden, on which the character of Fred Flintstone was obviously based. How's that for convoluted logic? Elizabeth Perkins walks through the role of Wilma with less affect than one of the animals in their animated appliances, ("It's a living"). Lost in her interpretation is the familiar read headed, alabaster skinned beauty with "eyes as black.........as frying pans?". And what about Betty? No offense to Ms. O'Donnell, who does an admirable job as Mrs. Rubble, (giggle and all) but is a far cry from the delightful "Betty Jean McBricker" we all love and who Wayne and Garth rated one of the top 10 babes of all time, ("Schwing!"). Rick Moranis mugs the camera shamelessly, cocking his mouth to one side in a desperate attempt to echo the graphic overbite of the original Barney Rubble, and to no avail. Alas, try as he might, Moranis never overcame the fact that his own human eyes have pupils. I won't even go into the supporting characters but, as I watched I felt somewhat embarrassed for the entire cast. I don't blame them. I just don't think that human beings should ever be required to emulate cartoon characters. It's not fair. Cartoons can convincingly do what live action can not.

And incidentally, if you're looking for a plot line, this one is a little on the boney side. Basically the gags are all hung on the very simple story structure of Fred being promoted to executive stature at the gravel pit, presumably because of his ineptitude, (sometimes art really does imitate life). He is then framed in an embezzlement scheme and somehow invents concrete which changes the course of human history. The end.

As far as the The Flintstones goes, those who loved the '60s T.V. program will probably be left stone cold by the movie. Gone is any of the character and warmth of the original series, (though, personally I feel it's been gone in the animation for many years). Alan Reed, Jean VanderPyl, Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet were "The Flintstones". There was a natural quality in their early performances that made the characters believable. This, combined with the design, timing, writing, music and style of the show is what made "The Flintstones" so immensely popular in it's first run. There was a comfortable unself-consciousness about the program that made it a genuine piece of Americana and a joy to watch over and over again. The movie , however, is about as self conscious as you can get with it's forced performances, cloying gags and practically extinct stone-age puns relentlessly coming at you like hurled boulders that hit you right between the eyes and then just lay there.

Sigh, Hollyrock. They just don't get it, do they?

Why do some people hate this.......2005-04-24

I thought this movie would be terrible,but when i saw it I loved it. It was very funny. I also like Rosie Odonnell as Betty. John Goodman was a good Fred,Elizibeth Perkins was a wonderful Wilma,and Rick Moranis was very good as Barney.But my favorite charactar is the dicta-bird.

AN EYE-CANDY ADAPTATION TO A POPULAR CARTOON........2004-08-14

"The Flintstones" is a visually strong adaptation of the animated series, but it suffers the same weak spots that most of the cartoon-based movies have. The TV episodes are 20 minutes long, they have small stories that work well for TV, but a movie is usually between 90 and 120 minutes, so when the writers try to stretch the anecdotes of a TV episode, usually it feels too forced and schematic.

But in this kind of movies, the viewer is willing to forgive the holes in the plot, if the visual style of the movie matches the visual style of the original material, and thankfully to all the fans of the cartoon, this movie is delightful to see. The sets are an exact representation of the houses and buildings that the cartoon shows. The creatures are very funny and every creature in the movie works as a prehistoric representation of our modern machines.

Most of the cast feels right, John Goodman looks like a solid Fred Flintstone, Elizabeth Perkins is as pretty and smart as the original Wilma Flintstone, Rick Moranis is a good representation of Barney Rubble, Dann Florek looks exactly the same as the Mr. Slate that we can see in the cartoon and Halle Berry looks gorgeous as the sexy secretary Miss Stone. But what were they thinking when they cast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble? I mean, in the TV series Betty is pretty and dynamic, but this Betty looks like she ate too many brontosaurus, when I saw her I thought that she was already pregnant with Bam-Bam.

"The Flintstones" throw jokes at the slightest provocation, some of them are clever and some of them are just plain silly, but once again, the set designs, the creatures and some jokes are good enough to make "The Flintstones" an amusing movie.

Has been released on DVD........2007-02-19

I should know, I own it, and I live in Illinois. The bad part is that you only get the movie, no features or anything, but that is good enough for me right now.

Tha Man Called Flintstones is a gem, in my opinion one the greatest animated movies of all time. The entire show was great, and this movie captured the essence of the cartoon perfectly. It has Fred in a spy role, a farce of James Bond, and it is actually excellently well done/written. The songs are great, the movie is fantastic. I was thrilled that I was able to find this on DVD (as I have all 6 seasons of the show. Now I am awaiting the release of Flintstones a Christmas Carol and Flintstones Kids.) one of my all time favorate animated movies and show. A must for all Flintstones fans.

My Kids Loved The Songs..........2006-11-14

and the story plot. I originally had this cartoon on VHS years ago. My children and I enjoyed watching this cartoon together. This was one program that we enjoyed as a family. Much better than watching Pinky and the Brain or Spongebob.

It is amazing where family programming has gone. My children are now in college and my one son thanks me for showing him what cartoons were popular when I was a kid and credits me for his creativity.

A rather lame ending to the first wave........2006-05-09

This was released pretty much after the 6th and final season closed. The movie was pretty much where the families Flintstone and Rubble go on a European Vacation, and end up getting into trouble with enemy spies, and other hi-jinks. The movie itself is very boring, and the songs used were terrible; especially the one "When I Grow Up"; the one where Pebbles sings. For a half hour show it was classic, but they stretched things too far when they released a almost 90 minute movie. Stick with the series from 1960-1966; anything else will be cheap, and horrible.

In Like Flintstone.......2006-04-13

In the '60s, cartoons made for the big screen had a charm all their own (check out the Pink Panther movie shorts). For Hanna Barbera, they would include Hey There It's Yogi Bear, The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, and A Man Called Flintstone. When the Peanuts specials made animated featurettes on TV a regular feature, other animated specials tended to seem like drawn-out shorts with musical interludes. Not this one. A Man Called Flintstone is all savvy and style, with eye-catching graphic design and memorable songs built around the '60s spy craze, yet stays true to the original look and feel of The Flintstones (unlike later films which reversion the cartoons).

Quite sad how it's all tied up in litigation, of course, but cross your fingers and it might come out on DVD, and if you see it used, take a chance with our man Flintstone.
