Britt Gillette's The Flintstones (Season 3) DVD ReviewTurning the television world flat on its head, The Flintstones became the first animated hit series in prime time history. Set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock, the show explored the lives of ancient cave dwellers through the lens of a modern lifestyle, with bird beaks acting as phonograph needles, elephant trunks as vacuum cleaners, and fireflies as light bulbs. With its measured use of top-grade humor and clever visuals, The Flintstones became an instant smash hit - spawning decades of syndicated re-runs, spin-offs, and thousands of derivative products Loosely modeled after the hit show The Honeymooners, The Flintstones follows the lives of burly loudmouth Fred Flintstone (who has a heart of gold) and his wife Wilma (who puts up with him). The couple lives next door to best friends Barney and Betty Rubble, and they have a dog (a dinosaur) named Dino to keep them company. Following in the footsteps of shows such as I Love Lucy, the show's characters are always inventing hair-brained schemes, attempting to cover up little white lies, or engaging in some other form of behavior bound to get them in trouble. The Flintstones also features numerous cameo appearances parodying famous personalities from the early-sixties In the show's later years, each couple would add a child to the mix with Fred & Wilma having Pebbles (a little girl) and Barney & Betty adopting Bamm-Bamm (a little boy) The Flintstones (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Dino Goes Hollyrock" in which Fred hears about a tryout for a new animal star on a hit TV show. He trains Dino for the part, but gets more than he bargained for when the director gives Dino the lead Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Baby Barney" in which Barney pretends to be Fred's baby after Fred tells his rich Uncle Tex he named his son after him, and "The Surprise" in which Fred is jealous of Barney's attention to his visiting nephew, at least until Wilma reveals to Fred that a baby of their own is on its way Below is a list of episodes included on The Flintstones (Season 3) DVD: Episode 61 (Dino Goes Hollyrock) Air Date: 09-14-1962 Britt Gillette _____________________________________________________________________________________________ |
