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.

Isn't tomorrow (Sep 30th) the 50th anniversary of the debut broadcast? 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.)

The live-action feature was just PERFECT!

Flintstones, don't like it, never liked it, never will, crappy so called animation, same for stories, when it left TV it was good riddance. SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED. A turd in TVland.
My sentiment is the same for all the crumby Hanna/Barberra stuff though---just plain shit.

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.
