Amazon.co.uk Review
Meet The Flintstones in this prehistoric Hanna-Barbera production. Primetime's first animated series was also the longest running until The Simpsons came along. Not so coincidentally, the two shows aren't all that different--even if the former emerged in the sixties, the latter in the eighties. Fred (Alan Reed), patriarch of the cave-dwelling clan, may be marginally more intelligent than the similarly blue collar Homer, but most storylines still revolve around his more dunderheaded moves. Fortunately, wife Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and Barney (Mel Blanc) and Betty Rubble (Bea Benaderet), their neighbors, are usually able to set things right.

This long-awaited DVD set includes all 28 episodes of the first season, including the lost Flagstones pilot. Notable segments include "Hot Lips Hannigan"--one of several riffs on beatnik culture--in which Fred, aka "The Velvet Smog," sings and Barney beats the traps and "The Creature From the Tar Pits," in which Fred fills in as Gary Granite's stunt double in a Bedrock-set horror flick.

The Flintstones's first season introduced two timeless couples from another time. Its success led to a theatrical release, two live-action features, and countless specials and spin-offs. New viewers may be surprised to find that Dino doesn't make his official entrance until episode 18 ("The Snorkasaurus Story"), that Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm aren't in the first season at all, and that the famous theme won't hit the airwaves until the third (replacing instrumental "Rise and Shine"). Those quirky quotes, however, were in effect from the start: "Wiiilmaaaaaaa!," "Droll, very droll" and, especially, "Yabba-dabba-doo!!!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy, Amazon.com

Synopsis
From the town of Bedrock, modern stone-age family Fred and Wilma Flintstone and their goofy best-friend neighbours Barney and Betty Rubble comically trudge through prehistoric daily lives populated by animals-cum-household-appliances with refreshingly sophisticated zaniness and humour. This collection includes all 28 episodes from the celebrated series' debut season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yabba dabba doo!!!! - At Last The Flintstones Have Arrived, 20 Nov 2005
By letsgetitright "letsgetitright" (England Europe) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
After what seems ages and ages a box set of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera unique creation: The Flintstones, that stone age family from the town of Bedrock. This first series came out in the early 1960s and still has a place in many people affections today. Fred and Wilma Flintstone live in the stone age and yet in a wacky way they seem to have all kinds of mod cons. Their neighbours and best friends are Barney and Betty Rubble. Fred and Barney get into all kinds of trouble together and they seem to be constantly finding ways to keep their wayward behaviour from Wilma and Betty. Extra features in this DVD Box Set includes “All About The Flintstones”, “Wacky Inventions” and “The Flagstones” the pilot episode which was previously thought to be lost.

And don’t forget to sing along to the song as you watch these wonderful 28 episodes:

"Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, They're the modern stone-age family, From the town of Bedrock, They're a page right out of history, Let's ride with the family down the street, Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet, When you're with the Flintstones, Have a yabba-dabba-doo time, A dabba-doo time, You'll have a gay old time!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia, 18 Dec 2008
By Pelle (Laholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
What can I say?
From a time when we didn't even have a color tv, and only two tv-channels to choose from...
I just LOVE Fred Flintstone and his gang!
I will surely get the second season as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I purchased this item and was really disappointed because no episode features the famous theme song. I guess a later season would have it.
