Flintstones marathon to hit Boomerang on July 4

by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 1st 2007 1:42PM

FlintstonesThat headline probably won't even make sense to many people. Boomerang? What the hell is that?

Boomerang is a cable network devoted to baby boomers. I don't get it on my cable system, though it certainly sounds like something I'd like to see if they have programming like this. The channel is going to show all 166 episodes of The Flintstones - in order and without commercials - starting on July 4. This is a show I've been meaning to buy on DVD. A lot of people thought it was lame for an animated series, but I didn't watch it for cool animation, it was really a sitcom in cartoon clothing and a lot of fun.

I wonder why they changed the name used in the pilot, The Flagstones? What made them say "let's get rid of the 'flag' and replace it with 'flint'?"

It was changed because of the similarity to the last name of the characters in the "Hi and Lois" comic strip. This was mentioned in either Hanna or Barbera's autobiographies, if not both.
