The Flintstones

A series that didn’t know when to stop, which takes it down a peg or two in terms of quality. Otherwise, although none of the episodes is really about anything, they are full of amazing ideas and playfulness from the creators. Even the household appliances are a scream. And the whole series is carried on the back of incredibly likeable characters who you can’t help falling in love with, but this also means that it becomes slightly repetitive. (09.02.2007)

In the post-revolutionary euphoria, we devoted many evenings at home to various selections from Hanna-Barbera on VHS, and I particularly remember The Flintstones, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and The Huckleberry Hound Show. The Tom and Jerry show was famous before that, and much more so, which is of course still true today. I never had any interest in Scooby-Doo, Johnny Quest, and similar shows, but I’ll say that something along the lines of Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks was still good. In terms of The Flintstones, I’ve now seen the second feature film and I just wondered where the end of the first one was, given that it's so much better... Now I'm refreshing my memories as much as I can and I'm still full of awe. :) I consumed all six series of the original series in English and immersed myself in the complex world of Bedrock. There are a plethora of sequels and TV movies yet to come and I'm looking forward to them immensely. :)) For example, the first movie turned out great. (09.02.2009)
