@Kitty Galore The Meet the Flintstones theme didn't begin until the third season.

The opening and closing credits theme during the first two seasons was called "Rise and Shine", a lively instrumental underscore accompanying Fred on his drive home from work. The tune resembled "The Bugs Bunny Overture (This Is It!)", the theme song of The Bugs Bunny Show, also airing on ABC at the time, and may have been the reason the theme was changed in the third season. Starting in season 3, episode 3 ("Barney the Invisible"), the opening and closing credits theme was the familiar vocal "Meet the Flintstones". This version was recorded with a 22-piece big band, and the Randy Van Horne Singers. The melody is derived from part of the 'B' section of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 Movement 2, composed in 1801/02. The "Meet the Flintstones" opening was later added to the first two seasons for syndication.

Another Flintstones fan! Wish they would bring back cartoon Felix The Cat, my favorite cartoon growing up.

I had this big purple DINO the dinosaur toy that was battery operated... it moved and walked. I see they are selling them on Ebay for close to $500 now.

This show is great. Has a lot of subtle references we didn't pick up as kids. Tonight is a take off of Alfred Hitchcock movies.

Excited about the Flintstones coming to Metv! Wish they would bring the Jetsons too!

I was really enjoying them and then I am thinking Spectrum took metv off their lineup. It says technical difficulties. I am going to call them. All of a sudden its gone. Crazy cable companies.

Yeah, what the heck? I record 'My Three Sons' and for the last few days it just has that message and I have no idea. I keep forgetting to look it up and see if it is something permanent or what.
