The Flintstones isn't very good

[Cranjis McBasketball]

It Big Bang Theory having a laugh track drives you into a rage, The Flinstones having one should be enough to kill you.

One time I snuck 1 extra Flintstones’ vitamin, then read the label and thought I was going to die.

Those were great! I can't believe I just now realized I don't see them at the store anymore. The weirdest part of them was how they gave the corner of my mouth something akin to freezer burn... Well, after a few of them.

no shit my sister once almost overdosed on Flintstones vitamins. she was about three, got ahold of the bottle and ate over half of them before my parents found her. they had to rush her to the hospital to get her stomach pumped

I always thought the Flintstones was the best before the birth of Pebbles. The show was more a rip off of the Honeymooners, but Fred was more a jerk to Barney and had some edges to him.

Yeah, eating one extra one is harmless but if a kid eats half the bottle they can get really sick. Your parents did the right thing by getting it out of her system.

That's the danger of making chewable vitamins that are tasty like candy.

I never liked the Flintstones or Scooby Doo as a kid.

Scooby Doo always annoyed me as a kid. First off, why do they keep hanging out with Shaggy? Dude's a pussy who brings nothing to the group.

Second, it always ended the same way. Somebody in a mask. How are the gang still getting work? Every call should go like this:

Caller: Hello, our house/amusement park/whatever is haunted.

Fred: Yeah, it's probably just a guy in a mask.

Caller: Really?

Fred: Yep. Happens all the time. Probably the owner too trying to drum up business or something stupid.

Caller: Oh, ok. Thanks.

Fred. No problem. Have a good one.

Fred Flintstone got me started on cigarettes.

While I am not going as far as the original poster to say I didn't like it period.

I will say this, I prefer the pre Pebbles and Bam Bam episodes. When it was truly a animated Honeymooners with these 4 main characters with no children, it was better. Even than the Honeymooners were still better, but that is another story.

I made a girl friend watch my favorite Flintstones episode a couple weeks ago- The Snorkasaurus Hunter.

[ERON]

I didn't hate the Flintstones, but I didn't love them either. The Jetsons were my stuff. I was a sucker for anything with aliens and/or robots. I loved dinosaurs as well, but only realistic dinosaurs, not cartoony ones like Dino.

I also remember getting chills when the realization hit me one day that if the Flintstones live in prehistoric times, that means they're all long dead now.

You're missing out on the excellent Mark Russll/Steve Pugh comic series.

That is probably the most shockingly excellent comic I've ever read.

Like the OP, I have dismissed the Flintstones. But as soon as I saw the one page in which the bowling ball talks to the vacuum, I knew I had to pick up this series. I think it's essential comics reading.

Have you put any thought into why they celebrate Christmas when they lived way before the birth of Jesus?
