The Flintstones: a 5-year FLASHBACK blog!

(Originally posted June 13, 2007)

The first thing I want to know is why was the food on the Flintstones so big?  Were people just always super hungry back then?  I wrote them a letter about it and haven't received a reply yet.  What are they hiding?  Someone once tried to tell me that it's because the food came from dinosaurs, but so what?  The size of the animal shouldn't matter.  a cow is way bigger than a pig, but the portions are not adjusted accordingly.

Also, at Fred's job, how come he always kept working right up until the whistle blew?  Why didn't he spend the last ten minutes goofing off or pushing papers around like real people do?  Well I guess they didn't have paper but he could have pushed stone tablets.

and what's with Bam Bam being the world's strongest baby?  Was placing the Honeymooners in a prehistoric era where they had to use birds as record players not a ridiculous enough premise?  Did they really need characters with super powers too?  It's like if the producers of Gilligan's Island decided the castaways were not silly enough so they gave Mr. Howell super heat vision, or metal claws like Wolverine.  (Imagine him slashing down coconuts with claws like that.)

I don't remember Bam Bam ever doing anything strong once he got older.  All he seemed to do was cruise around in his car and play the bongos.  What a waste of his super strength that was.  Had to be a disappointment to his father.  He could have been a great football star or something.  Imagine Barney Rubble listening to his son explain that what he really loves is music.  (and not even guitar or piano, he picked the bongos.)  Typical kid I suppose.
