Plot summary: Fat, uncouth man has unnecessarily hot wife, lives middle class existence. Oh, and they're all cave people. That's pretty much the entire premise in a nutshell. There was also bowling and the occasional wacky dinosaur hijinks. Hey, remember when they brought the show back years later and it really sucked? It was essentially the same but with small changes, like some of the voice acting was different? I remember once when I was in college my friend and I dropped acid, and then at about 4 in the morning we were bored and decided to watch TV. Well, the new Flintstones was one, and it was flipping us the hell out. We knew something was different, but we couldn't place what. Like, it didn't seem right that the entire cast had black cirlces for pupils, but we weren't sure. We then went on to watch the most fucked up episode of "The Facts of Life" ever. EVER. (more)
User Comments: Damn, people really love Jackie Gleason, don't they? I mean, if not for Hanna and Barbara's hard-on for "The Honeymooners," we wouldn't today be suffering not one but two Ralph Kramden rip-offs in prime-time. I could just never get into the Flintstones. It's like, okay, you're pre-historic. Your garbage disposal is a live animal, big freakin' deal. You're still essentially just a cartoon about a middle aged guy and his family problems. Eff that noise, gimme the Muppet Babies any day. I can say, however, that the one bright spot to come out of the Flintstones was the "Pebble" line of cereal. Though I never understood the marketing. Barney's always trying to steal them? Wha? Barney was the nice guy, Fred was the one with the wacky plans. I mean, just watch the crappy live-action movie. Rick Moranis would never steal. It's not his way. Honey, I Stole the Breakfast Food? Nope, doesn't fly.
