Fred Flintstone

Fred Flintstone was based on Ralph Kramden- even looking a little like him, complete with a Brooklyn accent. He worked hard to try to get ahead and always had some kind of get-rich-quick scheme (hit-songwriting, running a restaurant, a maintenance consultant at an apartment and a race-car driver). He was not much of an inventor (he manages to make Barney disappear, he glues himself and Barney to a bowling ball and shrinks himself and makes up new dances when he hurts himself). He rarely hid his exasperation and Wilma had to often show him the folly of his ways. Many years later, man has yet to learn!

A parrody of Jackie Gleason's "Ralph Kramdon" of the Honeymooners. I miss the Flintstones. The new cartoons these days suck.

Fred rocks!!! :D

role model material

BORING ASS

Ive watched em all.

this is my all-time favorite. yabba dabba doo

I love the Flinstones!

WERID

never really liked it. it just wasn't amusing to me.

I USED 2 LUV DIS CARTOON ITS FUCCIN GREAT

definitely a classic...although they should have just stuck with the cartoons...the movies sucked!

Comman dude that works hard.

I think I'm too young to get the flintstones. More of a Simpsons girl, myself. I love dinosaurs though.

I know people like Fred. The Flintstones was a great cartoon

I watched the first few months but yawning got to me.

WILLLLLLLMA!!!!!

A few flaws, including some fermented cactus juice

yabab dada du

i wish this was still on

Long past time for a more advanced hominid to push this one to extinction.

My favorite episode was with ann-margaret doing voice as ann whom is hired as baby sitter. and singing to pebbles.

reminds me of my dad

He needed to get laid more often too.

reminds me of my father

eehhh..ok once in a while, didn't care for the stereotypes even as a kid. Fred was just Archie Bunker in a flat dimension.

The cartoon version of the everyday working man. The Flintstones were not just a cartoon that entertained kids but adults as well because they could relate to Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty.

love fred. hes came along way from the stone age to present

Yaba daba doo!!!

Greatest character on the greatest cartoon of all-time!

Maybe a rip-off of Ralph Kramden but a great character. Strong family man for a cartoon. Great everyman character as well.

I grew up with the Flinstones and thus reminds me of happy childhood memories. Actually, I wasn't a fan of Fred so much as Wilma (the brains of the lot)

The animated version of Jackie Gleason!

A bad Ralph Kramden rip-off

Without Fred Flintstone, there would be no Homer Simpson.

I LOVE BAM-BAM AND BETTY AND BARNEY THEY ARE THE BEST CARTOON CARACTERS THERE IS... I LOVE WATCHING THEM ON SATURDAY MORNINGS....THEY ROCK

There was not enough originality with Fred Flintstone. Fred was merely loud and bumbling, yet with a kind heart, nothing new there. The entire series was an acknowledged ripoff of television's The Honeymooners.

The cartoon version of Ralph Kramden but in a toned down way. Still you couldn't help but love Fred Flintstone

I cannot stand the flinstones

Slymon's lame! The Flintstones were the best, as were the majority of Hanna Barbera cartoons.

Spelled the beginning of the end for quality cartoons, courtesy of Hanna-Barbera.

I think Fred is the ancestor of Homer Simpson.

Fred Flintstone, Bedrocks very own Homer Simpson. You couldn't help but like ol blundering Fred because no matter how much he screwed up you always knew he meant well.
