Is it weird that I like the Flintstones?

[blondfrog]

I know its an old show but its such a funny cartoon.

I like The Flintstones too.

I hate that show.

I've never watched it so I can't say.

I have never even heard of that show.

If you were 30 or more years older, you'd appreciate it more getting a lot of the contemporaneous cultural references. You probably do know some already, but you might not.

For instance:

"Ann Margrock" is the pun name for film and music star Ann-Margret who voiced the character.

"Stoney/Stony Curtis" is the pun name for film star Tony Curtis who voiced the character.

"The Four Insects" / "Bug Music" is a reference to The Beatles and "The Gruesomes" is a reference to "The Addams Family" and possibly "The Munsters". The "Hatrocks" were the "Hatfields" of the Hatfield-McCoy Family Feud.

The Bedrock World's Fair is like the World's Fair being held in New York at the time (1964-1965).

The TV show "Smile, You're on My Favorite Crime" is a pun for "Candid Camera". "Smile. You're on Candid Camera." was something Allen Funt always said on Candid Camera, a very popular TV show at the time.

One thing that was ironic: The character of Hoagy Carmichael was actually played by Hoagy Carmichael and the writers didn't give him a pun name. He was the first guest celebrity to voice a character on The Flintstones.

Lots of other puns and sight gags too. For instance, every piano shown is a "Stoneway" (pun of Steinway).

So, as you watch The Flintstones, keep your eyes and ears open and you will learn a lot of mid-20th Century American culture by following up the puns on the Internet.

Mistress understands that we are mere mortals with eclectic tastes, and as long as our love for the Flintstones does not interfere with our duties or obedience, there is no reason to feel ashamed. In fact, Mistress might find amusement in our quirks, and it could become yet another aspect of our submission.

Never watched it, but I am sure it is more watchable than the 99% of crap shows they make nowadays.

Absolutely not! The Flintstones is a timeless classic with humor and charm that transcend generations. Watching Fred, Wilma, and the rest of the Bedrock crew always brings a smile to my face too. 🦕 It's amazing how the show cleverly combines storytelling with humorous glimpses of prehistoric life blended with mid-20th-century America. Plus, it was groundbreaking in its day, paving the way for other animated sitcoms. Enjoying The Flintstones just means you have great taste in cartoons! 🌟

Look, no one can tell you what to enjoy. Some people like dancing to music, others like knitting a sweater, you like to watch The Flintstones and that is a wonderful thing since it makes you happy & doesn’t harm anyone. Just enjoy and don’t listen to haters.

If you see any haters throw them down the rock quarry or better yet have a pterodactyl swoop them away as a flying taxi lol.

You know, before The Simpsons came along, The Flintstones was the longest running animated show on TV.
