07/16/2008 | Prime-time cartoon show emulating "The Honeymooners" tv show. Was a huge hit when first shown. Also considering the fact that it was only on once a week it was a real treat to see what would happen next. Most likely couldn't watch it nowadays.

08/23/2007 | This has a higer rating than The Simpsons? Wow, pathetic.
Not that the show itself is pathetic. In fact, it's a great show, and I love it. I'm just surprised its rated higher than The Simpsons. o_O

02/17/2007 | I concur with VirileVagabond on this one. I remember enjoying it as a kid, but there was very little in the way of cartoons that I didn't enjoy as a kid. My childhood love of cartoons hasn't carried over into my adulthood, but every once in awhile I'll get a yen to watch some old favorites like "Popeye", "Gigantor", "The 8th Man", etc. Even with those, it can be a trial to sit through them. What was enthralling as a kid is dull and silly as an adult. As for "The Flintstones", I have no desire to re-visit that child-hood experience. Had absolutely no desire either to watch the movie they made from it, but it does illustrate the complete creative bankruptcy of Hollywood. Now they're cannibalizing old 2nd rate cartoons for movie ideas (they made a movie out of "Scooby-Doo" for God's sake!). Sad, sad, sad...

02/17/2007 | Though the lingering popularity of "The Flintstones" must be respected, this animated series doesn't really do it for me. I did like the show as a child, as almost all animation attracted my attention during those years, but as an adult the humor isn't mature enough for me now (even though the show was developed for adults). The writing was okay, but wasn't all that original given that the series was inspired by "The Honeymooners" and many of the non-recurring characters were simply stone age versions of then contemporary stars and personalities. Looking back the only true imagination was getting animals to serve as now modern appliances (as several prior reviews have noted). In comparison, "The Simpons" is much edgier and more relevant to the human condition, even after making allowances for the changed norms. In the end, I won't say that "The Flintstones" was a bad animated show, but I can't go higher than a subjective three stars.

06/17/2006 | I used to like Flintstones alot more when I was little. Since then I've run into too many men like Fred (and the nicer attitude ones like Barney, unfortunately LOOK like Barney), to make it a favorite

05/16/2006 | Always tried to relate what they use in the Flintstones with items in my life as a kid. Helps imagination. Characters Gr8!
Much better than the Jetsons in everyday situations.

03/21/2006 | The true test of a good cartoon is that the laughs transcend across generations. The Three Stooges can do that. And based on my kids laughing while watching the Flinstones (and this was one of those lame Pebbles and BamBam all growed up version), the Flintstones pass this test. I won't say that the Flintstones were funnier than The Simpsons, but you can't go wrong with animated dinosaurs qvetching in yiddish and Honeymooneresque scenarios. My favorite was the episode where it was revealed Fred was a compulsive gambler. To this day, when I go into a casino to play Texas Hold'em, I immediately recall the vision of Fred uncontrollably screaming "Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet..Bet" and it always gets me laughing.

03/21/2006 | This, like all Hanna Barbera cartoons, was terrible. That whole franchise was known for poor quality "assembly line" animation and horrendous writing. It could barely be called writing as all of the characters and stories were carbon copies of exisiting TV characters and shows (Flinstones - Honeymooners) with a bunch of lame jokes and sight gags added.
Interestingly, in Canada we loved all the American cartoons (Bugs Bunny, Rocky & Bullwinkle etc.) but couldn't stand the HB cartoons, The Flintsones is the only one that played with any regularity and it was the kids who took the short bus to school who watched that.

10/15/2005 | Good cartoon taken from the Honeymooners. Flintstones was an inventinve cartoon that took place in the stone age. I thought this was one of the better classic cartoons. Fred and his wife Wilma daughter Pebbles. their best friends the Rubbles Barney and Betty and son BammBamm,the strongest baby on earth. This was a situation comedy cartoon form really the first of It's kind. I liked the household appiances these used to come up with like a tiny elephant that served as a vaccuum cleaner, a small animal that served as a garbage disposal. and the family car powered by freds two feetAnd not to forget Dino the devoted dog.I bet most people can sing the Flintstones theme.

04/08/2005 | This is a great show simply because I never tire of it. I have watched it since I was about 8 (1993) when cartoon network started showing it here in the UK and it still makes me laugh as much as I did then. The writing is consistently clever through the series although it becomes obviously sillier with The Great Gazoo. My favourite episodes used to be with the babies in when I was younger but now I prefer the earlier ones when it was just Fred, Wilma barney and Betty. It was a shame the same people did the Jetsons- that sucked!

03/13/2003 | This was the first "adult cartoon" (it originally aired--and was quite successful--in prime time) and it will always be my favorite cartoon. Even today, at age 38, I enjoy real belly laughs from Flintstones reruns...

02/25/2003 | The Flintstones was one of the best cartoons ever. I loved it when I was growing up, but now I can see that it really was geared towards adults. After seeing the shows so many times, I can practically recite the dialog. I felt sad when the unique Mel Blanc passed on, just as I did Jean Vanderpyl. She was the last of the 4 original Flintstones. The cartoons that they have out today (Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob) make me want to cry. What happened to the humor? It's not even funny, and the faces aren't even cute! Long live the Flintstones; they will because they're quality material.

11/22/2002 | I love the Flintsontes, the old ones (before Barnie got a different voice). There's always some misunderstanding, or Fred is getting in trouble. I love when the characters run, the same scene flies by every few seconds...or when Fred's running from the kitchen to the front door, it seems his house is 1000 feet long. Really, this is a true classic, & will be watched by generations to come.

12/29/2001 | The best cartoon that aired in prime-time period. Unlike the highly-overrated Simpsons. It featured greatly-executed comedy, complete with a nifty laugh track. The characters were also the source of over 10 spinoffs, some good, some mediocre. But, this cartoon will most likely live on for a long time! Easily, a classic!

07/14/2001 | I have always enjoyed Fred and family. It was originally aired as a prime time comedy for the whole family, not just kids, so it has a broader appeal to all ages. I enjoy how they use animals for appliances and how every name has some sort of rock or mineral in it. The only flaw I saw with the show was when they brought in that little green alien guy, the Grand Gazoo, and only Fred and Barney could see him. Even for a cartoon that was a little hard to believe.
