[@AndrewTurpel8LivesVideos]

"What made the flintstones so great, it's impossible to find out" You guys said it in the very beginning. Animals suffering menial labor jobs while their owners complain about 1st world problems. It's tragically relatable.

[@Tropcopter]

The heart of the Flintstones cartoon for me was easily the slapstick humor. The show genuinely had some fucking hilarious moments that occured on a frequent basis. I don't even view it as a sitcom honestly. The Jetsons definitely has a very sitcomy vibe to it but The Flintstones on the other hand almost feels more like a Looney Tunes show than anything else - it had some damn perfect comedic timing. Meanwhile the movie lacks any hint of comedy or slapstick whatsoever. I mean yeah the writing sucks, the casting choices are questionable and the script is awful, but the lack of humor is what really made it fail as a Flintstones adaptation.

[@vguyver2]

I'll say this, the robot chicken skit did a great job of doing what the Walkers are talking about. *"Oh the things I've seen..." "Oh Lord, please don't stop him"* -Turtle Urinal about to be killed.

[@Moviefan2k4]

I grew up watching reruns of both "Flintstones" and "Jetsons", so I liked this movie because it was actually semi-faithful to the source. My only main gripe is Rosie O'Donnell; she didn't look like Betty Rubble even though she had the laugh down. Rick Moranis was okay as Barney, but John Goodman and Elizabeth Perkins were perfect for Fred and Wilma. Years later, I'd also notice "Law & Order" star Dann Florek as Mr. Slate, but Halle Berry was virtually unknown at the time. This movie was also my introduction to Kyle MacLachlan's work; I really liked him in the second season for "Agents of SHIELD".

[@KangaKucha]

In reply to the ending comments: It was a big rock...

[@Azmodeus87]

i remember it being a good enough distraction for a sitting. The major problem that i recollect is that they tried to half-ass 3 storylines into one movie. You had Fred failing the test, Fred being a CEO and the split between him and Barney. Each of those would have been 1-2 episodes of the show and could have worked as the lynchpin of the movie. Instead they underdeveloped all 3. On the show itself, i really like the imagination with modern appliances in a stone age setting. The thing Doug and Rob kinda miss is that it was more aimed to adults then kids. Fred and Barneys misshaps was always rotted in situations that would feel more relatable to adults then kids and then insert all-ages jokes around that (like complaining about the flight, only to have the pterodactyl comment on it.)

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

Yeah, the original show was definitely more of a standard adult-oriented sitcom that just happened to be animated than a kids' show.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

You guys ever heard of the cartoon special from the '90s, Flintstones: On the Rocks? It actually explores Fred and Wilma's marriage in an interesting way. One of the few truly interesting things in the Flintstones franchise.

[@shawnattwells5355]

All I know about On the Rocks, is that it's set before Pebbles and Bam Bam, was either intended to launch a new series, or just a one off special. Either way, it still hasn't got a DVD/blu ray release.

[@diegocamacho6477]

I love how they loose their shit about Pebbles and Bam Bam's weeding.

[@BenjaminGessel]

The Flintstones were basically an animated 60's family sitcom, with a cave man setting... Pretty simple really. Not really a whole heck of a lot you can do with the Flintstones, unless you go Jurassic Park, typical family issues/dad has to work late hours, or "Let's make a movie to advertise a theme park" mode, etc. The Jetsons have a LOT of possibilities... Just the 60's "futuristic" colors ALONE could sell the movie. Yes, a LOT more can be done with the Jetsons...

[@joellennon6736]

BenjaminGessel did u see the 1990 movie of the Jetsons

[@BenjaminGessel]

@@joellennon6736 I saw the animated movie with the Jetsons and Flinstones meeting. If there was another Jetsons movie, I'm sure I've seen it as well, but honestly, once you've seen enough Jetsons cartoons, even a full length movie, they start to blur... Even more so with the Flinstones, of course...

[@joellennon6736]

BenjaminGessel it was an animated feature length where they move to a different gaxaly or some sort it did okay in the box office Ig it's better than this movie at least

Rob is correct, the Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm wedding was an "event" I think it even had a spot in TV Guide. (I was about 10) Also there was another TV special called "The Jetsons Meet The Flinstones" that was a big deal too. Universal Studios theme park had a ride called "Hanna-Barbera's Fun-tastic World". It was the anniversary of thoses cartoons so these things were being released around the same time.

[@francescafay9452]

I believe Rob is referring to the 1993 TV movie, I Yabba-Dabba Do!...I guess it was supposed to launch a Bambam and Pebbles tv series, but I'm not sure if that ever happened. I was a little kid when this happened, but I don't recall any of this. Although, I will admit, I did like the Flintstones movie when it came out. I had it on vhs, and did watch it several times. I think it was mostly because I loved Rosanne, A League of Their Own, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids growing up, so I liked 3 of the main leads. I especially loved John Goodman...and I still do, lol.

At one point, they had Milla Jovovich play a sexy foreign exchange student who steals Christina Applegate's social life. The episode "Fair Exchange" aired on 10/29/1989, making Christina 17-years-old at that time. If you think that's creepy, they had Milla's character simply refer to Christina as a "little sister" to get around the fact that the former was only 13-years-old at the time.

The early episodes of the Flintstones have a lot of unique and funny drawings because the artists and animators were encouraged to be inventive and not worry too much about staying "on model" to impede their creativity. after they became more strict about following the model sheets exactly the show became far less fun to watch and was just a toned down Honeymooners.

I saw this movie once as well, and I saw it with my, *GRAND DAD*.

Guess what? The director of this movie is Brian Levant. He directed Jingle all the Way, Beethoven, the OTHER live action Scooby Doo movies, and A Christmas Story 2!

"I Yabba-dabba-Do!" is the wedding special.

I love this movie. There some really clever jokes in the background. I wish I had the Blu-Ray!
