The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season

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. The Comical Story Lines keeps coming, 26 Episodes in 4 nicely Packed DVDs, just a little Tighter still good though, many Special Features, The Gruesome's Road to Bedrock, A Stone Age Parenting Guide: Child Rearing in the Stone Age and more, Great Stuff, However, I specially like each and every Prehistoric version of our Modern conveniences, the Appliances with all the Critter Power to give personal comfort to our Prehistoric Friends; it is so cleaver, and so much fun to watch! Thank You

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 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 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!!!

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.

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.

Great family entertainment for all ages! You won't be disappointed at all and once you see it you'll be in love with the Flintstones and their best friends the Rubbles, Barney and Betty! I highly recommend ALL Flintstones movies to everyone looking for good, clean and funny cartoons shows and movies!

I loved this TV seriies as a child and I still appreciate it today as an adu;t. Bright writers for the scripts. Great animators for the cartoons. Great voices for the characters.

souvenir de jeunesse - histoires originales - super d-a . j’ai acheté toute la collection

If your a Flintstones fan you will definetly love this box set. We bought it for the Christmas episode but there are many other great ones.
