Plot summary: In 1979, Fred & Barney finally got fed up with having to take care of their houses & yards. But instead of going to the higher-ups & telling them to stop trying to keep their show going by adding words like "new" & "comedy" to its title or naming it after other characters, they decide to pack everything up & start looking for a new place to live. So they check out some new condorstoniums (Stone, get it? *nudge*) being built outside of town called the Deadrock Arms, run by creepy-looking landlord Frank Frankenstone (Stone, get it? *nudge*). On a side note, I can't wait until I grow up & get to change my name to Mike Firecomet, & take a vacation to Orbitstralia with my girlfriend, Princess Hey-guys-I'm-from-the-future.  (more)

User Comments: Hanna-Barbera had a crazy infatuation with old monster matinees. Not that that's a bad thing, but when you run out of ideas for bad guy costumes for Scooby-Doo that you just start recycling "The Creeper" every 5 episodes because he has yet to deal with Batman or Mr. Spock, the answer isn't supposed to be "Ok, let's put some monsters in the Flintstones now." They ran out of so much originality in the idea, that Frank's offspring were almost exact copies of Eddie Munster (Freaky) & Wednesday Addams (Atrocia). Not to mention naming the Frankenstone patriarch "Frank." I'm starting to wonder if it's more than a coincidence that baseball players Milton Bradley & Coco Crisp were born around the same time as the Frankenstones' debut.

Also, Frank Frankenstone is what the stuttering astronomer gave to Baby Jesus.
