As a voice-over artist myself, actors were required to do 3 distinct voices per show. In Mel Blanc's case, he did at least 6 and I'm certain his rate reflected this. On the contrary, producers had no problem with Alan Reid only doing one (sometimes one or two more, but brief and seldom) for obvious reasons. He truly was Fred Flintstone. My favorite ROCK group? The Stones, man. The Flintstones! TeeVeeRonnie.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A TURNING POINT FOR THE SERIES
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010
Verified Purchase
By Season 3, "The Flintstones" had become a well-established series. The characters were firmly developed, the drawing and animation refined, the storylines more polished, and it was starting to earn praise and respect from the critics.

Season 3 also marks a turning point for the series in 3 significant ways:

1. Rather than focusing on just Honeymooners-style episodes, Season 3 delves more into parodies and references to then-current pop culture. Some of these episodes became classics. Who would ever forget Rock Roll singing "There's a Town I Know Where the Hipsters Go Called Bedrock! (Twitch! Twitch)" or Wilma punching an oversized dinosaur that was chasing Fred, telling it to "Beat it, Buster!"? Or Doozy Dodo saying "Squawk! Frantic City!"? Or Barney playing an infant in order for the Flintstones to collect Uncle Tex's inheritance money? Or the "Everybody into the pyool" remark in "The Big Move." Even a couple of classic Hanna-Barbera characters make a cameo on "Swedish Visitors"! The Flintstones even parody themselves with Barney's nephew Marblehead Sandstone imitating his Uncle's silly laugh!

2. Season 3 also marks the proper debut of the "Meet the Flintstones" theme, although -- oddly enough -- it doesn't appear until Episode 3! The "Rise and Shine" instrumental theme that was used for Seasons 1 & 2 is still heard on "Dino Goes Hollyrock" and "Fred's New Boss," but then the "Meet the Flintstones" theme is introduced for the first time on "Invisible Barney"-- and is used for the rest of the series and then later in syndication for all 6 seasons (probably to maintain a more family-friendly environment).

3. Probably the most significant turning point for the series was when the Flintstones grew from a family of 2 to a family of 3! And even Pebbles' birth broke new ground in cartoonland! For one, Wilma is the first visibly pregnant cartoon character ever. Secondly, Pebbles is the first baby GIRL to be born in a then-predominantly male cartoon world! Pebbles' birth -- on "The Blessed Event" -- was the most-watched Flintstones episode ever. Even though Pebbles seems unusually alert and well-developed for a newborn baby, it still provided Fred & Wilma with one of their most tender, poignant moments yet! Ironically, Hanna-Barbera were originally going to make Fred & Wilma's baby a boy (Fred Jr.), but opted for a girl as they felt baby girl products would sell easier. Smart move on their part!

Once again, even though the print quality is superb, there is one episode ("The Big Move") that is missing a few minutes (maybe the original master tape of that episode was damaged?), but that's minor compared to the rest of the set. The packaging is also top-notch, with 3 single-sided and 1 double-sided DVDs in individual holders instead of layered one atop the other. It also contains some trivia notes and a couple of extras (although not as many as in previous sets).

Overall, highly recommended for your Flintstones' library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Which season is best? Well...
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2005

It's a tough call for me between the first and third seasons.

I found the first season memorable because it had many classic gags, I enjoyed the relative simplicity of the stories, and they seemed to have more focus on the "prehistoric" aspects. I've always loved the episode "The Flintstone Flyer", I even remember building a model of the Flyer from scratch when I was a kid. And although they've always denied a connection with the Honeymooners, at least a few of the stories seem like rehashed Honeymooners episodes.

The third season has more involved plots, the running theme of "Wilma's having a baby! Nope, not yet..." and a lot more parody. Would probably have more appeal to today's adults, though I find many of the stories too bizarre to be believable. (I can sorta buy the idea of a human-powered helicopter made out of wood, it fits in with the cartoon's physics... but the third-season "Foxy Grandma" episode involving an old woman bank-robber who throws dynamite sticks was just too much.)

The second season wasn't as strong, many of the plots seemed like repeats from the first season and it lost much of the prehistoric charm. And while I'll buy the complete fourth season just to round out the collection, those shows are typically my least favorite by far. They went much too far with the bizarre stories; I never liked The Great Gazoo or uber-strong Bamm-Bamm, and there was way too much emphasis on the kids doing totally unbelievable things.

What ultimately killed the original Flintstones series was a lack of consistency in writing and portrayal of the characters, few or no running threads throughout the show, and the tendency for cartoons back then (and even many ordinary shows) to become increasingly outlandish over time. They seemed to have lost their original focus on being a cartoon for adults, especially in the last season--though granted it was a fairly novel idea to have "real" human characters doing human things in a cartoon, so I'll cut them some slack.

The quality of the DVDs in this set are much the same as the others, although I did notice two or three episodes had noticeable (but not horrible) video noise, and a couple of episodes had lower-than-normal audio levels (just crank up the volume a bit for those). Probably just means they couldn't find original sources for some of them and had to resort to other means... I haven't checked out the extras, though on this set they used both sides of the last disc to hold episodes instead of using the flip side for extras.

Here's my take: if you're not that familiar with the Flintstones then start with the first season, it's the most firmly grounded of the four seasons. If you really like it, check out some of the others. The third-season episodes are some of the best, but there are a few stinkers.
