If you’ve ever watched The Flintstones closely, you will have noticed the background when they are walking, driving or running — every few seconds you’re seeing the same scene again…and again…and again. Buildings, trees, grass, signs, traffic lights — the same over and over again.
This doesn’t bother me in the least since it’s a part of the charm that makes The Flintstones, well…The Flintstones.
It didn’t bother Cartoon Network, either. Using the song “Circles” by Soul Coughing they created a video. With added subtitles giving the illusion Fred and Barney are speaking about them always walking around it circles, it makes light of their ‘rotating’ situation.
One of the scenes used is from one of my favorite episodes, “Love Letters on the Rocks.” Other Hanna – Barbera characters such as Top Cat, Quick Draw McGraw and Snagglepuss visit Bedrock to get in on the act. *See if you can spot Adam Ant at the end*
Who says The Flintstones are dead? Certainly, not I. They are alive and well and living in Bedrock.
For as long as I can remember, I have been a HUGE fan of The Flintstones. I remember going to my neighbors to watch it since we didn’t own a color TV. Every week, it was a pleasure making the trip with my sister to see the mayhem in Bedrock. They have delighted me for decadents and now is time for me to share my enthusiam with you.
So, join me in visiting them as we discuss episodes, analyze their behaviors and post mindless trivia.
