brings back memories, 2008-12-16
The Flintstones remind me of childhood when I would watch it after school everyday. One of the discs I got doesn't work. It plays part of an episode and then stops and when I tried to watch another episode on the same disc it stopped again. I couldn't see any scratches. Other than one less disc, it's great.

Fantastic fun for the whole family., 2008-10-06
My 5 yr old son is now hooked on the Flinstones. I remember when I loved them as a kid too, but I still love them as a parent. Good clean humor for both the kids and adults. There is a lot of humor I missed as a kid. There are hours of great episodes - would highly recommend.

"Yeow! You dropped the ball on my toe, you numbskull!", 2008-09-28
I had originally written this review in 2004 and there was one error. At the time, I thought the episode Dino Goes Hollyrock was from the 2nd season (it wasn't; it was actually the opener for the 3rd season- sorry!). br / br /The 2nd season helped better establish the modern Stone-age family. In at least 6 of the episodes, Mel Blanc was absent due to illness so Daws Butler had to supply Barney Rubble's voice (thus making Barney sound more like Yogi Bear). New characters introduced are Mr. Slate, Fred's no-nonsense boss (voiced by John Stephenson; Mr. Slate had one cameo in the 1st season, but didn't look or talk at all like the Mr. Slate you probably remember), Arnold the smart allecky paperboy (voiced by Don Messick), Joe Rockhead, an alternative buddy of Fred's and Mrs. Slaghoople, Wilma's "battleaxe" mother (actually, Wilma's maiden name started out as Pebble but that name probably went out the window when their child Pebbles was born- and the original voice was that of Verna Felton). br / br /Highlights include a voice cameo from Hoaggy Carmichael (perhaps one of the 1st on the Flintstones, Fred warbles a cheezy rendition of "Stardust"), Fred and Barney not speaking to each other after Fred insults Barney ("Did you get the license of that truck, Betty?"), Barney gets a job working for Fred's company since Mr. Slate finds out he's his nephew, Wilma gets a job as emcee of the TV series The Happy Housewife Show leaving one not-so-happy husband to get his own dinner ("Make your hubby happy, keep your hubby happy... with Rockenspiel!"), Fred and Barney are judges of a beauty contest and women across town are trying to get their attention (leaving 2 understandably jealous wives), Fred goes on a gambling streak which winds up owing paperboy Arnold lots of money ("BET! Bet, bet bet...."), Barney coaches a Little League baseball team and Fred volunteers as umpire ("I call 'em as I see 'em"), Barney and Betty stay at the Flintstones' house after plumbing problems but it isn't long before their welcome is worn ("Shhh, the girls'll think we're fightin', Fred"), Wilma and Betty get invited to the Ambassadors' Reception but neither they nor Fred and Barney are well received since they're not rich snobs (that is, until Fred and Barney unwittingly prevent a burglary), Fred writes a vitriolic protest letter to his boss when he doesn't get the raise he expected (Wilma saves the day here) and Barney plays a practical joke on Fred ("You, Barney Rubble, are a counterfietter!"). br / br /The 1st season helped get the Flintstones started and the 2nd season had the characters better established for Fred (Alan Reed), Wilma(Jean VanderPyl), Barney (Blanc) and Betty (Bea Benederet).

The Flintstones, 2008-07-20
I bought this because this is what I grew up with and it is no longer awaiable so I found it for my family. This just brings up the good old days and how things have totally changed. Eyerone looves it except my husband wants to watch real movies not cartoons. Thanks. My only problem was that it took a long time for this to be delivered because it seemed to have been lost yet paid for. Thank you so much for looking into the problem and getting this for my children. We love it! br / br /Colleen Bilby
