Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-29-2010 07:08 PM                     The modern stone-age family had their TV debut 50 years ago today...indeed a page right of history. Google have replaced their normal logo on their main page with this imaginative design: And for those who think times haven't changed much, here's a clip for you.

Oh, wait...John's in Australia...where it already is tomorrow! "The Flintstones" is my all-time favorite cartoon, by the way. (The original prime-time 1960-66 series, that is, not any of the numerous spin-offs.)  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED. A turd in TVland. My sentiment is the same for all the crumby Hanna/Barberra stuff though---just plain shit.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-01-2010 11:54 AM                        Hanna Barbera did have crappy animation but it was made up for by their great voice talents. Mel Blanc and the rest at WB were the best, but HB had a good stable of talent too.  |  IP: Logged
