@GlamMetalChild they arent controversial now today , I love the show anyways its a shame todays cartoons are so stupid

You know, you're right.....The Flintstones, in it's day, pretty much was what Family Guy is today. A parity on the Honeymooners and it was strictly for adults!!!!!

And so it will be with cell phones in the future.

I get pissed when people put down others smoking cigarettes U no what. Back off. People die of lung cancer and never smoked. What do u do with that huh? U can't ur the looser. Cigarettes r American classics.

♪♫Winston taste good like a cigarette should!♪♫ WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! Why is this not in color like the actual series? I remember my 6th grade teacher showing us this and saying he watched this as a kid.

That was weird. I watch The Flintstones on Boomerang and they must have edited out the cigarette stuff. Plus I've never saw any of them with a laugh track and clapping. I guess they stopped selling cigarettes after Pebbles was born. I was born in 1963 myself so I remember nothing about cigarette commecials anyway.

"THE FLINTSTONES" were sponsored on alternate weeks by Miles Laboratories [Alka-Seltzer. One-A-Day} and R.J. Reynolds {Winston} during their first two seasons (1960-'62). This is a good example of one of the "Winston" shows from February 1962 ["This Is Your Lifesaver"], with opening/closing titles featuring sponsor I.D.'s, and an "integrated" commercial featuring Fred and Barney plugging their sponsor's brand.

I was eight years old when I saw this. The addition of Pebbles in the third season had nothing to do with interesting kids.  They had a family audience already. It was a combination of network directions and a change in sponsors that were more family-oriented. There were also more merchandising tie-ins, particularly with the Ideal Toy Company for the marketing of the Pebble doll. Later there was a Bam-Bam doll.

It's hard to see these as politically incorrect, I mean they're grown men who enjoy a soothing uh...i don't smoke so i don't what soothes.
