Meet The Flintstones in this prehistoric Hanna-Barbera production. Primetime's first animated series was also the longest running until The Simpsons came along. Not so coincidentally, the two shows aren't all that different--even if the former emerged in the sixties, the latter in the eighties. Fred (Alan Reed), patriarch of the cave-dwelling clan, may be marginally more intelligent than the similarly blue collar Homer, but most storylines still revolve around his more dunderheaded moves. Fortunately, wife Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and Barney (Mel Blanc) and Betty Rubble (Bea Benaderet), their neighbors, are usually able to set things right. That was also true for Ralph Cramden of The Honeymooners, a direct influence (Reed even sounds like Jackie Gleason). But Ralph didn't have a pet dinosaur and he did live in the Modern Age--if you can call the fifties "modern"--rather than the Stone Age.
This long-awaited DVD set includes all 28 episodes of the first season, including the lost Flagstones pilot. Notable segments include "Hot Lips Hannigan"--one of several riffs on beatnik culture--in which Fred, aka "The Velvet Smog," sings and Barney beats the traps and "The Creature From the Tar Pits," in which Fred fills in as Gary Granite's stunt double in a Bedrock-set horror flick.
The Flintstones's first season introduced two timeless couples from another time. Its success led to a theatrical release, two live-action features, and countless specials and spin-offs. New viewers may be surprised to find that Dino doesn't make his official entrance until episode 18 ("The Snorkasaurus Story"), that Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm aren't in the first season at all, and that the famous theme won't hit the airwaves until the third (replacing instrumental "Rise and Shine"). Those quirky quotes, however, were in effect from the start: "Wiiilmaaaaaaa!," "Droll, very droll" and, especially, "Yabba-dabba-doo!!!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This is a great set, but don't waste your money! I bought each season for $3 at Big Lots! They also had Top Cat (the series), Josie and the Pussycats, and other Hannah Barbera greats for only $3.

Can't go wrong with Fred, Barney and the gang. Just love The Flinstones. It's truly a classic and these episodes never get tired.

My grandchildren love watching the Flintsontones. I enjoy watching it and remonising about how I enjoyed this show as a child.

Bought this DVD for my kids (10,8,6,4 & 2) after watching the Flintstones movie on tv from the mid-90's. We watched season 1 in the car in route to the beach and I have NEVER heard my kids laugh so hard. It's clean, good fun for the whole family without any sexual/inappropriate undertones as you find in most kids shows/movies.

The writers for the Flintstones are comic geniuses. I have seldom laughed out loud at a cartoon or any other tv show as much as I have this one. The Boomerang or Cartoon Network reruns this show but for some reason repeats the same 3-4 episodes forever and in this day and age or recession when nobody can afford cable anyway, this is a pleasure to own. Literally hours of laugh out loud funny entertainment and if you have kids, it's all G rated.
