An Underrated Accomplishment That Still Rings True Today

tfrizzell

"The Flintstones" was a great television series which dominated most of the 1960s.  Amazing writing kept the series fun and interesting right up until the end.  Of course the premise is the life of blue-collared, dino-crane operator Fred Flintstone and his wacky adventures with his wife Wilma and his neighbors Barney and Betty Rubble.  "The Flintstones" is basically "The Honeymooners" turned animated, but the creativity of the series makes it stand out from most other television shows.  Very adult-oriented in some respects, but still tame enough for the youngest of children, "The Flintstones" is a milestone in the art of sitcom television programming.  5 stars out of 5.
