The absolute only part of the Flintstones I remember was everyone having to keep Fred awake because they mixed his xray with the pet or something. To this day that’s what my minds eye sees when i sleep too little.
Seth MacFarlane respectfully disagrees.
But as always, Simpsons did it first.
Homer is an abusive father, is he really an abusive husband though?
At least a dead beat one imho.
Emotionally maybe?
I wouldn’t call either of those family-friendly. The Simpsons more so though.
Flintstones was mostly for adults. It was prime time. Hell, they advertised cigarettes!
Kinda crazy to think that the mascots behind a wildly popular children’s vitamin tablet also sold cigarettes.
I can’t remember Fred or Barney being abusive. It was a clone of the Honeymooners, so they were not the brightest bulbs in the lamp.
Isn’t the most famous honeymooner’s memes:
One of these days, Alice! BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the moon!
Not taking about rockets, he’s threatening to beat his wife
