Product Description Flintstones, The: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)In Season Five, the Flintstones (Fred, Wilma and baby Pebbles) and the Rubbles (Barney, Betty and baby Bamm-Bamm) still delight young and old with prehistoric versions of modern conveniences and modern predicaments. Over 26 episodes, the two stone-age families travel in a time machine, tangle with jewel thieves, spies and celebrity cops and get caught in a handful of show-business fiascos. Usually in the thick of things, the clueless Fred is menaced by a mad scientist, joins a rodeo, takes flying lessons, impersonates royalty and plays Santa Claus in a really big way. While Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm grow bigger and cuter, the rivalry between their parents over who's Bedrock's Most Beautiful Baby causes a temporary rift. Yabba-Dabba Do this collection and rock out with all the fun.]]> desertcart.com By the prehistoric programs fifth year, Pebbles (born in the third) and Bamm-Bamm (adopted in the fourth) can walk, but they can't yet talk--although they sure can babble. Well, who needs talking toddlers when your son is the strongest in the world? In the season premiere ("Hop Happy"), Barney Rubble (Mel Blanc, sounding a lot like Dustin Hoffman) decides to purchase a pet for the powerful kid. After all, the Flintstones have Dino, and there's only so much of the purple pup to go around, so he brings home a "hopparoo" named Hoppy. Another fifth season highlight is "Monster Fred," in which Flintstone (Alan Reed) is bopped on the noggin with a bowling ball. Barney takes him to a Dr. Frankenstone who switches his personality with Dino's. Then he switches Fred's with Barney's--and that's just to start. There are a number of other monster movie/television show parodies. In "A Haunted House is Not a Home," Giggles Flintstone names Fred his sole heir--if hell spend a night in his eccentric uncle's spooky mansion. Then in "The Gruesomes," diminutive Weirdly and willowy spouse Creepella move in next door. Heck, they even have their own TV show. As usual, the pop culture references and goofy puns are half the fun, as when Fred refers to a certain mop-topped quartet as "The Bagels." Several episodes later, the Stone Age band are introduced as "The Four Insects." Their specialty? Why, "bug music," of course. Then there's the time Fred and Barney appear, as a ventriloquist and his dummy, on "The Ed Sullystone Show" ("Itty Bitty Freddy") or when they find themselves in the middle of a real-life "Jay Bondrock" movie ("Dr. Sinister"). This four-DVD boxed set features all 26 episodes from the 1964-1965 season--each one "a page right out of history!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: WHOLE LOT OF PREHISTORIC FUN! - In this Fifth Season the Amusing Adventures of these two Cave Families continues to make us laugh with their childish and innocent like Plots and Pranks. Our friends travel in a time machine, tangle with jewel thieves, Fred is threaten by a Mad Scientist, he takes flying lessons, plays Santa Claus, gets invited to a Ranch,...and so on.

Thank You Review: Classic and Crazy Stone-Age Fun - Season 5 is my personal favorite. If you are looking for a "standard" season, you may want to try one of the earlier ones, with the more "Honeymooners" style plots (Fred wants to go bowling or has a money-making scheme or feuds with Barney scenarios). But, season 5 has some of the most bizarre, wacky and downright fun episodes, with mad scientists, spy spoofs and the fantastic "Gruesomes", who are of course a tip of the hat to the Addams family. Bonus features are not major, but are interesting. (There is an interesting, albeit somewhat brief documentary about the "Gruesomes" and their origins.) The Flintstones had already aired for 4 seasons, and rather than repeating the same old tricks, they really pushed the envelope of zaniness with increasingly strange stuff. There are even a time travel episode and an unflinchingly anachronistic yet fun Christmas episode (complete with musical number.) If you want the weirdest stuff the Flintstones ever did, this is for you. 5 out of 5 for being a classic and MOST UNIQUE "page right out of history."

Best ever
Best cartoon ever. Great DVD an and awesome value. These are classic toons that people of all ages can enjoy. I have to say, there were things I didn't get as a kid that I do as an adult with these episodes, but it wasn't out of line things, just natural things a child wouldn't pick up on, but later you can relate to the everyday trials of friendship and marriage. They don't make em like this any more

"I'M TOO IMPORTANT TO BE CAPTURED" MADAME YES!!!
I am overjoyed we diehard Flintstone fans don't have to wait in vain for the complete fifth season!!! I must say it's really hard to pick a favorite episode from this season, but I narrowed it down to the one when Fred and Barney get mixed up with a sexy female spy Madame Yes. I suppose that was a parody of James Bond, considering their hero was named Jay Bondrock! I also still laugh out loud at the dancing girls at Pebbles 1st birthday party. Barney was a riot when he started dancing with the girls and telling Betty he was just trying to get them out the door! Yeah right Barney! I'm also looking forward to seeing the episode when Fred and Barney have to stay the night in a haunted house to inherit his uncle Giggles Flinstones money. You can't help but crack up when Fred and Barney's hair wiggles everytime they hear that wicked laughter!!! I'll be like a kid in a candystore when this fabulous dvd set arrives March 7th!!! I can hardly wait!!!

This DVD includes How the Flintstones Saved Christmas!
If you are looking for “How the Flintstones Saved Christmas” on DVD, you should purchase this season. It is “Christmas Flintstones” on disc three. The plus is you get other great cartoon episodes featuring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, and the memorable Indianrockolis 500 and The Gruesomes.

"The Rotskin Spotskin is Motskin in the Plotskin."
So, you say you're a Flintstone Fanatic. That means you probably have a shelf somewhere in your living room upon which you proudly display your beautifully packaged Flintstone DVD sets. The Complete First, Second, Third and Fourth Seasons are each graced with lovely transparent plastic slipcovers housing four-way unfolding cardboard disc-holding inserts, all liberally but tastefully decorated with nifty drawings of Fred; Barney; Wilma; Betty; Pebbles; Bamm-Bamm and Dino. Now it's finally time to add the Fifth Season to your prized collection, and man-oh-man, Flint-fan, are you in for a shock! You'll undoubtedly be shouting "Yabba-Dabba-DON'T" as you tear open that Amazon box, only to discover, much to your dismay, that the case for Stone Age installment number 5 is only _half_ the thickness of the first four, and comes with a _cardboard_ slipcover containing a sparsely-illustrated insert which shamefully hides two of those loathsome overlapping-disc holders! I for one despise these disc holders because they make the discs more susceptible to scratches, as one disc has to sit halfway overtop of another. Also, you can't remove Disc 2 without first removing Disc 1. Sure, it's great to at last have the Complete Fifth Season on your aforementioned DVD shelf, but it would be much nicer if it matched the other sets. Case issue aside, the discs themselves are comparable to the others in audio and video quality, but season five has no Spanish language track...and no commentaries either. This year in Flintstone history (1964-65) saw the introduction of Bamm-Bamm's pet hopparoo, Hoppy, and Fred's ghoulishly green-skinned neighbors, Weirdly, Creepella and Gobby Gruesome (all of whom are inexplicably absent from the set's cover art). It also showcased a cavalcade of wild new antagonists like Dr. Frankenstone; Uncle Giggles; Dr. Sinister and Madam Yes. And if Betty Rubble sounds different to you, it's because she's voiced here by Gerry Johnson instead of Bea Benaderet (hey, at least it's not Rosie O'Donnell). The plots in season five are zanier than ever, featuring everything from mad scientists, time machines and haunted houses to superheroes, fairy godmothers and cowasaurus rustlers. Over the course of these four discs (Disc 4 is a "flipper," another of my DVD pet peeves), you'll see Fred Flintstone ride in the Bedrock Rodeo; race in a prehistoric precursor to NASCAR; masquerade as the King of Stonesylvania; battle the notorious Slatery Brothers as the Sheriff of Rocky Gulch; star as Hercurock in `Hercurock and the Maidens;' shrink himself down to the size of a ventriloquist's dummy for an appearance on The Ed Sullystone Show; and much, much more! He'll even take time out of his busy schedule to hawk Welchade Grape Drink (it's rich in levulose!) and Welch's Grape Jelly and Jam. Yes, there's a lot of entertainment crammed uncomfortably into this thin, oddball case, so maybe you shouldn't judge a DVD set by its cover. Nevertheless, I'll knock off one star for Warner's blatant disregard for the aesthetic integrity of the Flintstones DVD series.
