  3. Fun! I remember this being the first cartoon shown on evening TV, not the usual Saturday morning. And it had a lot of adult appeal, too. Kind of like an animated version of The Honeymooners.

  4. Never knew there was a Flinstones themes park, and even more, I can't believe it still exists! I did love the show.
