The Flintstones was still very popular when the fourth season opened with what may the most famous single episode: "Ann-Margrock Presents." Ann-Margaret, who had become an overnight sensation in "Bye Bye Birdie" (1963), provided the voice for her caricature. During the 1962-63 season, the series had made cartoon history when Wilma became pregnant. According to Joe Barbera, Wilma and Fred were originally going to have a son, Fred Jr., but potential profits from doll and toy sales changed the offspring to a girl. (Ideal's Pebbles doll earned almost $20 million in 1963, and General Mills introduced the "Pebbles" sugar cereal.) During the fourth season, the Rubbles adopted a super-strong baby boy named Bamm-Bamm, who had been left on their doorstep, and provided a playmate for her. Ann-Margaret's appearance led to a spate of celebrity caricatures and spoofs of other TV shows, including Candid Camera ("Peek-A-Boo Camera") and Sing Along with Mitch ("Hum Along with Herman" in "The Flintstone Canaries"). "Ladies Night at the Lodge" feels like an old I Love Lucy episode, as Betty and Wilma sneak into the Water Buffalo Lodge and get paddled for their pains. Many observers noted The Flintstones was essentially Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners in caveman costume, but the TV parodies and the reliance on such gimmicks as aliens producing robotic versions of Fred in "Ten Little Flintstones" make it clear that the show was running out of gas. (Unrated, suitable for ages 7 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

 The Flintstones - The Complete Fourth Season September 29, 2008
Harry Brewer (S'port, La.)
Season four of the Flintstones finds another major change in the cast. After Fred & Wilma have Pebbles in season three it's decided by the producers that Barney & Betty should be blessed with a child also. In episode three, "Little Bamm-Bamm", they find a baby on their doorstep. In a very adult twist adoption is discussed. This was one of those things that made The Flintstones such a joy to watch; it was written with young & old alike. This is why the Flintstones still survive today; it's a multi-leveled show. Like the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies cartoons, they were written as much for adults as they were for youngsters.
Season four opens with one of the most memorable that has a major guest star portraying herself: Ann-Margaret portraying Ann Margrock, "Ann Margrock Presents". Other highlights of the season include: "Dino Disappears" where Dino runs away from home; "The Flintstone Canaries" where Fred form a barbershop quartet to perform on "Hum Along With Herman" which is a parody of the Sing Along With Mitch TV show; "Glue for Two" where Fred & Barney are glued to the same bowling ball; "Big League Freddie" where Fred is mistaken as having major league baseball potential; "Old Lady Betty" where Betty gets a part-time job disguised as an old lady & unwittingly goes to work for counterfeiters; "Daddies Anonymous" in which Fred & Barney join a 'dad's club in order to get out of weekend work at home; "Peek-A-Boo Camera", a parody of the very popular show Candid Camera; "Ten Little Flintstones" where Fred thwarts an alien invasion; "Fred el Terrifico" in which the Flintstones & Rubbles vacation in Rockapulco; "Cave Scout Jamboree" where the two families end up camping out with thousands of Scouts; "Ladies' Night at the Lodge" in which Wilma & Betty disguise themselves in order to infiltrate a Water Buffalo Lodge meeting; "Reel Trouble" in which Fred battles an addiction of photos & home movies of Pebbles; "Son of Rockzilla" in which Fred disguises himself as Rockzilla in a Hollyrock stunt; "Bachelor Daze" where Fred & Barney reminisce how they met Wilma & Betty at the Honeyrock Hotel; & finally "Operation Switchover" in which Fred & Wilma switch jobs for a day.
It's a great season & family entertainment for all. The bonus features in this set aren't as numerous & include: "The Flintstones: One Million Years Ahead of Its Time, "Hanna-Barbera's Legendary Music Director Hoyt Curtin & audio commentaries in two episodes.

Flintstones Season 4 February 25, 2008

My kids love it! They are enjoying it as much as I did when I was little. It has been fun to watch it again as an adult, there is a lot of adult humor that I didn't get as a kid.

My daughter who is mentally challenged was given the first series by a dear friend and it goes to show you how addictive the Flintstones can be and to never underestimate special children's sense of stimulation. Little did I know how much she loved the Flintstones until we popped in the tape on her birthday and the theme music starts to play. That alone caused her to sit still long enough to watch it until the end. So now I'm thinking why not buy her more. I am purchasing three of the series now and the remaining episodes after the holidays. Way to go Amazon. You're tops in my book.

"Nice, and slow. That's the way ya gotta do it. Nice and slow."
OK boys and girls, name the episode!
Back when I was a kid, I spent too many afternoons watching reruns of the Flintstones, Warner Brothers Cartoons, and the Jetsons on the Boston UHF stations. Even as I grew older, I never stopped enjoying these episodes when I happened to find them while channel surfing. It seems incredible, but these half-hour programs aged better than a fine bottle of Burgundy.
Kids could enjoy them on a primary level, while adults could pull the most amazing collection of complex and intricate jokes, sly inuendos and inside references to modern culture out of every half hour showing. I probably learned more about modern culture and 20th century history from watching these cartoons than from any other source. What kid could identify Hoagy Carmichael? Well I could, because I caught a reference to him on a Flintstones cartoon, and started asking questions. Arthur Murray? I knew him too as the Flintstones dance instructor Arthur Quarry. I even knew more about Hollywood "in spots" like the Cafè Trocadero (Café Rockadero) than I did about those in my own city thanks to Flintstone references. They were as intellectual as a college classroom lecture.
It was obvious that some very talented, passionate people had a hand in bringing this creative concept to life. And to think, these cartoons are still beloved today, even though they are about as G-rated as you can get.
I'll probably never meet a single person who was involved in this particular project, but I hope that they'll somehow find out just how much pleasure that they've brought to me all of these years. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.
