The Top 5 "Flintstone" Episodes All Time (As Chosen By Boomerang Network) Agree? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-24-2011, 12:37 PM

1. "The Flintstone Flyer'' Barney channels Thomas Edison in developing a flying machine. Fred is skeptical at first but once he's sees the machine soar, he gets excited and labels it the Flintstone Flyer. Later, as part of a ruse to get out of going to the opera, Fred feigns illness and he and Barney use the Flintstone Flyer to get to the bowling alley. Unfortunately, the bowling alley is adjacent to the Opera House!

2. "The Hot Piano'' One of the hilarious aspects of the "Flintstones" was the ability of the creators to satirize modern life. In this 1961 episode, Fred decides to get Wilma a baby grand piano for their anniversary—a "Stoneway" piano. Fred's plan gets a little off-track when he buys the Stoneway from a suspicious character named "88 Fingers Louie."

3. ''The Blessed Event'' According to Boomerang, this 1963 episode was the series' highest-rated and most famous episode. Viewers got to meet baby Pebbles for the first time, but not before Fred again engages in some of his classic buffoonery. Fred tries preparing for Wilma going into labor, but it of course all goes awry and it looks like she'll give birth well short of the hospital.

4. ''The Man Called Flintstone" The creators of this series were doing satirical spoofs long before the Airplane series came into modern consciousness. In this case, Fred is called upon to serve his country in place of a wounded spy. As a result, he and the family find themselves in the midst of some dangerous business—trying to capture the spy the Green Goose.

5. ''Little Bamm-Bamm'' The cast of characters expands once again with the introduction of Little Bamm-Bamm. In this 1963 episode, Barney and Betty are constantly visiting Fred and Wilma to entertain Pebbles. But Fred—being Fred—gets sick of the presence and kicks them out! Later, Betty and Barney make a wish upon a star and before long, Barney finds a basket containing a little boy.

Almost every episode of The Flintstones was excellent.The only weaker ones in my opinion are the the first few episodes of the show.So I don't agree.

I share your opinion

"The Man Called Flintstone" was a theatrical motion picture and, therefore, should not be eligible for a list of television episodes. Instead, I would choose
"Ann-Margrock Presents." It was then a novelty for a celebrity (in this case, Ann-Margret, of course) voice their animated likeness. Along with Tony Curtis (as Stony Curtis), Ann was one of the first (and best). It was also fun seeing Elizabeth Montgomery (and Dick York) of Bewitched do an episode. On the other hand, The Simpsons has gotten a bit carried away with the use of guest stars. (Of course, that show has spanned over 20
years, compared to only six seasons for The Flintstones.)

I completely agree with everything stated. My favorite were the Ann Margaret and Liz and Dick episodes along with Tony Curits.

I always dug the Shinrock episode. With the real voice of Shindig host Jimmy O'Neill, and the Beau Brummels as (what else), the Beau Brummelstones.

tiredmike59 · 07-26-2011, 06:02 PM

Two of my favorite were the one where fred had to lose weight and the one where barney was living at the flintstones and made fred sleep on two chairs.

McGillicuddy · 07-26-2011, 10:16 PM

To many great ones, I don't think I could pick 5. I'm pleased that "The Blessed Event" (The arrival of Pebbles) and "Litttle Bamm-Bamm" are on top.

And, Fred dreams he teaches LBJ his new dance!

Any episode invloving the Beatles gets my vote. "Bug Music With the 4 Insects?" Rock on!

Which was the one where they sang:

Here we come on the run
With a burger on a bun
And a dab of coleslaw on the side,
Oh your taste we will tickle
With a great dill pickle
And all of our potatoes are french fried, fried,
fried,
Our burgers can't be beat,
'Cause we grind our own meat,
Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind,

When you drive away,
You'll really hear us say,
We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye!

And as your on your way,
A tip upon our tray
We hope to find, find, find, find, find
We hope to find, find, find, find, find.

I loved the poem Fred wrote to Wilma!!!

I love thee Wilma, with hair like silk,
Lips like cherries, skin like milk,
Your shell-like ears, your dainty hands,
And eyes so black, like frying pans

And when you in my arms are in,
My love how can you doubt?
I quiver just like geletin,
And sometimes even break out.

You're a perfect peach, my love,
Together we're a pear (pair),
You're sweet, you're nice, you're paradise,
And all kinna stuff like that there.

Bonniegirl · 11-01-2016, 11:49 PM

The only one I agree with on that list is # 3! The Blessed event .That was hilarious!

An ep.that always has me ROFL is "Mother in laws visit" Season 3 !

And "Pebbles Birthday party" where the children's party gets mixed up with the Buffalo lodge stag party with those identical dancing girls!!

That was hysterical !!

I remember the poem now. The best part was when everyone would be surprised at the same part. "Eyes so black.....like frying pans?????"

I know! That was so funny!

They were like "Really Fred? Eyes so black.....like frying pans?

HUH? You really are comparing a woman's eyes to frying pans???

Ha ha! I remember the first and third stanzas, but not the second one about gelatin.
