DVD Information about
The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
Description
In Season Five, the Flintstones and Rubbles still delight young and old with prehistoric versions of modern conveniences and modern predicaments. Over 26 episodes on 4 discs, the two 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 at stage center, fathead Fred is menaced by a mad scientist, joins a rodeo, takes flying lessons, impersonates royalty and plays Santa Claus in a really big way. Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm grow bigger and cuter - and the rivalry between their parents over who's Bedrock's Most Beautiful Baby causes a temporary rift. DVD Features:
Interviews:Two original commercials and an interview bite with Joe Barbara and William Hanna about the creation of the Flintstones series, with introduction by a historian of animation, Earl Kress.
Other:A Stone Age Parenting Guide: Humorous look at child rearing in the stone age.
Storyboards:Stone By Stone: Original production storyboards of a classic episode "The Gruesomes" running along side the actual finished episode to learn how it all came together.

By the prehistoric program’s 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 he’ll 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

Customer Reviews for
The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
Worth every penny
I have always loved the Flintstones. I waited until the price had come down until purchasing it. It was well
worth it. They did a fantastic job of digitally re-mastering the old ones. I bought my favorite seasons (4 and 5)
but I was so pleased with these that I will purchase the other seasons. The extra special features were great. I
liked the episode where they talked during the Ann-Margrock Presents, and Little Bamm-Bamm telling you all different informative and funny things they did to create those episodes. If you love the Flintstones then this is
something to enjoy for years to come..The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
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."The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
the flintstones season 5
the best cartoons a child or nostalgic adults could watch. i highly recommend season 5.The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
The Flintstone's rock!
I didn't know which season to pick until I read the reviews- so thanks to those who submitted them! I was a huge Flintstone's fan as a kid and my daughter is now hooked on them! The first set I bought didn't have Pebbles, BamBam & Dino in some of the episodes, but this one has them all. We watch the DVDs together- sure beats having to suffer through some of the junk cartoons that are out now! Well worth the $$The Flintstones - The Complete Fifth Season
Dissapointing not in Spanish!
I usualy like shows in their original language but flinstones are better in Spanish! even hanna barbera said that it was the best adaptation and the version in spanish goes better with the personalities of the characters.
I dont now why they didnt made this one in Spanish.
