I remember that I got to watch the Flintstones right before bed every night. That was a long time ago. If I was really, really lucky, my parents would let me come out of bed and watch Crazy Gugenheim on the Jackie Gleason show, which followed.

The original voice of Fred Flintstone was Alan Reed, a veteran actor from the Golden Age of Radio. In those early days, Reed was kept hopping from one studio to another to play roles in a variety of radio soaps and comedy shows. He would race into the studio, pick up the script and run with it.
He passed a long time ago, a giant from a bygone era.

Flintsontes, meet the Flintstones, they're the modern Stone-Age Family....
Great comedy. My parents LOVED the Flintstones (and not just because my Mother's name was Wilma!).

Never heard of him. What joy he brought to me in the 60s!

"Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones
They're the modern stone-age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page right out of history
Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet
When you're with the Flinstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
You'll have a gay old time
Of course in this day and age.....having a gay old time doesn't mena what it used to...except maybe to gerry (studman) studds/barney fag/and of course.....mark foley!!!!
RIP...Mr. Benedict...you brought lots of happiness and pleasure to lots of people for a real long time!!!!

I was always a fan of Betty in an unsavory way.
Ed had more impact on me than Hef.

It's funny but when you catch some of the older Hanna Barbera toons on Boomerang, you see a number of the Flintstones making appearances (with different voices). It can be a little confusing if you're a channel surfer. Fred as a forest ranger (wearing pants!). Wilma's face on a slightly heavier body (OK, since Wilma had no waist, it was a *much* heavier body).

Quickdraw McGraw and Baba Louie are cartoons that just couldn't be done nowdays. How I hate political correctness. Oh well. At least they'll have to pry my DVD of Blazing Saddles from my cold, dead, lifeless hands! Ha! (and as Bud Bundy said to Kelly after she said 'Ha!' - "Spell it!"

I remember that I got to watch the Flintstones right before bed every night. Hey, me too! Pretty wild when you think about it. A prime-time cartoon show that was not just for kids. Decades before The Simpsons.

Since The Flintstones was somewhat based on the Honeymooners there is a link there.
