The Flintstones The Complete Series (Repackage/DVD)“Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they’re a modern stone-age family.” Thus opens the catchy theme of the primetime series that boldly went where no animated show had gone before, into the record books as the first adult-targeted cartoon and longest-running series of its genre. The family shenanigans of Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty and their children were fresh and groundbreaking for the day. The notion of a “modern” cave society using dinosaurs, stone and wood in outrageously inventive ways was the gimmick that kept on giving, similar to the appeal of futuristic sci-fi characters casually using high-tech gadgetry to make life simpler. Fortunately, you possess the modern gadget for this historic occasion, as all 166 legendary episodes are available for your viewing pleasure.]]>

One of the world's best cartoons - all in one awesome collection!
Before there was The Simpsons, there was The Flintstones... I grew up watching this and to this day, it is still one of my all-time favorite television programs!From what I have seen online, it's pretty hard to find "complete" collections of The Flintstones, in fact this is the ONLY "complete" collection I could find... But this packages includes all of the television episodes in their correct chronological order, presented in a unique storage box which matches the theme.I did find that the cardboard "slip" covers which the discs are stored in (inside the box) are a little difficult to remove the discs from and I suspect that over time, this may hasten wear-and-tear on the discs themselves... For me, this is not a big issue because I "rip" all of my optical media (CDs/DVDs/Blu-Ray Discs) to digital formats as soon as I buy them - but the vast majority of people reading this won't, so I recommend you consider buying cheap, alternate cases from a local store if you plan to watch these regular.Other than that though, I have no problem with this and I simply cannot recommend it highly enough, if you want the best-quality version of "The Flintstones" currently available!

MEET THE FLINTSTONES: THEY'RE THE MODERN STONEAGE FAMILY, FROM THE TOWN OF BEDROCK, THEY'RE A PAGE RIGHT OUT OF HISTORY!!
I had been watching this set for many months and just couldn't "justify" the expense.... but then it went on sale for less than HALF the typical price!! I scooped my set up in a heartbeat! It arrived just before Christmas, so I wrapped it up and put it under the tree for my kids. Before Christmas Day, they had NEVER had the opportunity to watch my favorite cartoon, The Flintstones!! We watched several episodes that day and also the next day too. The DVD's are packaged nicely in this box set, I'm not a huge fan of the little cardboard book like thing that they're packaged in inside the "tv box" but it's not a terrible design either. The fit is a bit tight so children have a hard time getting it out initially, however I found that when I went thru each "page" of the book and pressed on the ends to open it slightly it released the DVD rather easily and now my children (ages 11 & 8) can get them out with ease and no worry of scratching them up. The picture quality is pretty much the same as I remember when watching it on TV, it's not beautifully restored or in HD or anything, but for me that just adds to the nostalgia. I'm VERY pleased with this purchase!!

Great programming for kids! Good experience with this buy.
Wonderful! My family frequently watched the Flintstones while growing, and now watching it with my kids, I find it still refreshingly funny and cute to watch, even as most cartoons have grown old and stale, the writing and talent involved were obviously all top-notch from the era, as it was it holds up through the test of time. My older siblings watched it in the 60s when it was new, I saw it in the 70s, and my grade-school kids love it! Some of the reviews made me leery to buy this due to the packaging issues, which I found to be true; sure enough, the disc-holding pockets WERE tight, but I solved this easily by gently inserting my hand into each pocket when empty and gently loosening the edges-voila! My kids can easily insert/remove discs now, no problem, and the packing is not compromised. The "family" picture is lenticular, and the top of the box lifts off, where you find the 2 books of discs inside. The picture quality of the film is great, so do not worry as I did about buying this series.

Yaba daba dooooo!
Got this set for my kids to show them the cool stuff dad grew up watching. They abosultely love it! They ask for this even more than the Jetsons I got them and watch it in the car on long trips for hours, at home, everywhere. The packing on this set is great. The only thing I don't like is that the sleeves for the discs are too tight. Picture quality is good, but better for the later seasons, same for sound quality. Overall though, this is the best purchase I have made in a long time when measured out of the frequency of happiness in my little people it generates on a daily basis. The series itself is a testament to great writing and creative animation and a social psychology window to the time of its making. One of the all time best cartoon series by far!

The Ultimate Flintstones Experience
I remember when the Flintstones first appeared on TV. It was an absolute sensation. As the years went by, it was interesting to watch the changes that happened: a new opening theme song, the birth of Pebbles, the appearance of Wilma's mother, Anne Margrock (Ann Margret) and other unusual characters.I like watching the way the drawing style evolved over the seasons, as well as those things which never seemed to change. With so much Flintstone's material available in this DVD set, it's easy to find occasional animation mistakes. My favorite is when Wilma's eyebrows disappear as she turns her head! And on the first season shows with the original closing title, we see Fred turn off the TV and walk past Wilma, asleep in her bed. She has NO mouth! Amazing.

Good old fashion fun!
Dating ourselves but we grew up with these cartoons and to get the complete set was an opportunity not to be passed up. Read a few reviews about the packaging of the set and haven't really found that to be a problem but we no longer have little one's living in the house and when the grandchildren want to watch we handle the disks. "Ripped" a clip from Fred's anniversary song for my wife and set it up to play when she turned on her laptop on our anniversary the look on her face was worth the whole sets price and then some alone. Then told her I'd bought the set. Recommend if you wish to go down nostalgia lane or if you want some good old fashion fun for the family.

Rien comme the Flinstones version Quebecoise avec Berval et co ...
Rien comme the Flinstones version Quebecoise avec Berval et co.Ce dessin animée est fantastique et il y a des bonus ainsi quun travail sur la couleuret probablement le son egalement. Je connais une personne qui avait achete le meme coffret mais version 2012 environ au costco et lui dans certains episode de drole de melange de voix francaise de France un peu disgracieuse disons non non mais faut dire les choses comme elle sont,par contre ce nest pas le cas avec ce coffret. Je nai cependant pas ecouter le coffret au complet jusqua maintenant. A voir et a revoir absolument pour toute la famille evidemment.

happy
Crecí con los picapiedras y mi mama y yo nos moríamos por tener la serie completa, lo único que me preocupaba era el idioma, pero para mi sorpresa también viene doblado en español latino!! Lo cual es perfecto. Lo único que no me gusta 👎 es el hecho de algunos DVDs viene de doble lado! Lo cual hace que se incremente la posibilidad de daño. Pero en fin es simplemente hermoso

Great "Retro" cartoon
what can I say about this series other then it is totally "Retro" great to revisit that time where they broadcasted it in the tv but this time "just" on dvd I mean I can't say anything else but alot of this cartoons are some of thoes where you sit and look through them and end up thinking about "hey I remember that scene" what can I say other then it is extreamlly great that they have come around to put this series on dvd

Fun to reminisce!
The box set arrived on time as specified with my order. Quality is good. First season is from September 1960! A 57 year old "adult" cartoon. Fun to watch and reminisce of when I watched the Flintstones in the 1970's as reruns.Not a huge fan of the packaging and lack of ease to retrieve discs from the sleeve and the last disc for each season has an A and B side but certainly not a deal breaker.
