Silence, You Fools!

 


A couple of weeks ago I talked about Hanna/Barbera movies we watched as kids; I particularly covered The Man Called Flintstone. What I didn’t talk about was the fact that the TV show The Flintstones already had a spy movie parody episode that was better than the movie, and only lasted for a half hour, less commercials. That was in the Fifth Season, one year before the movie came out. Of course, we cannot have the complete episode.




The Flintstones was already producing various parodies on pop cultural subjects, and quite a few were rather hilariously macabre. The ‘boom-a-crackers’ (as our uncle called them) of the Dr. Frankenstone episode was something that entered our childhood vocabulary and were used in several 'playings'.
