A Modern Stone Age Family

The Flintstones isn’t a popular show in Arab countries — they just don’t get it.
…Except, the people of Abu Dhabi do!

I know, I know: awful! But let me redeem myself. The Great Gazoo from planet Zetox, pictured to the left, was voiced by Harvey Korman, later to become famous on The Carol Burnett Show and Blazing Saddles.

Don’t “get it” yourself?

Consider Fred Flintstone’s catchphrase:

Yabba dabba doo!

The Flintstones ran in prime time from September 1960 to April 1966, making it the longest-running prime time animated show …until The Simpsons came along. They’ll be hard to beat: they’ve been running for 29+ years — and counting.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
