Everyone knows "The Flintstones": Fred, Wilma and Pebbles Flintstone are a typical suburban family transposed to the Stone Age. Their neighbors are Barney, Betty and Bam-Bam Rubble. Fred and Barney work at a construction site, while Wilma and Betty stay home. Granted, almost nothing about this show was accurate (not to mention the fact that Fred's car changed shape depending on who was sitting in it), but cartoons don't need to be accurate or consistent! The point is that "The Flintstones" not only makes us laugh, but also gives us a new perspective on our own world. My favorite episode? Well, it was pretty neat that time when Fred and Barney were going bowling and they had car trouble in a creepy forest. And apparently, Elizabeth Montgomery guest-starred on an episode as a character named Samantha Stephens, although I've never seen that episode. Anyway, it's a really neat show.
I read that this show was based on "The Honeymooners". I've never seen "The Honeymooners", so I can neither verify nor refute that, and I've heard that "The Honeymooners" was actually a cruel, gross show.
