First watched : Uncertain
This is another well-loved series that never really grabbed me. That's not too surprising for although it was a cartoon shown in a teatime slot it was never really aimed at kids . The satire of baby boomer values and consumerism went over my 9-10 year old head and I just didn't find it very entertaining.
The Flintstones was notable for its pre-Simpsons longevity , lasting from 1960 to 1966. Its decline was put down to a shift in tone following the birth of Pebbles which lost some of the adult audience. For the next 30 years there were periodic revivals and spin-offs none of which lasted for more than a couple of years.
