WARNER HOME VIDEO RELEASES THE SIXTH AND FINAL
SEASON OF THE FLINTSTONES ON DVD SEPTEMBER 5
 BURBANK,
CA (May 11, 2006) – Warner Home Video (WHV) will offer the sixth and final
season of The Flintstones on DVD September 5, 2006. The four-disc
collector’s set will contain the final 26 fun-filled episodes and will retail at
$44.98 SRP. Order due date is August 1, 2006.
Season six of The Flintstones explored every
realm of popular parody spoofing “trendy” TV shows, award-winning movies, and
Hollywood royalty. Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York lend their voices in
Samantha, the stone-aged version of Bewitched, while My Fair
Freddy allows Fred Flintstone to step into Audrey Hepburn’s role, and Tony
Curtis provides vocals to the title character in Return of Stoney Curtis.
Plus, with Bedrock’s newest character, space alien Gazoo, introduced in this
final season, The Flintstones: The Complete Sixth Season is packed with
over 12 hours of yabba-dabba-doo fun that is sure to both tickle adults and
delight kids.
Bonus material includes The Flintstones Meets
Pop Culture, a featurette hosted by Stephen Baldwin, one of the many actors
who have portrayed Barney Rubble. This piece reveals how pop culture was
incorporated into The Flintstones and how the show itself ultimately
became a part of pop culture. Also included is The Great Gazoo – From A to
Zetox, which features newly uncovered history on the creation of the The
Flintstones’ most famous guest stars.
WHV will support the release of The Flintstones:
The Complete Sixth Season by implementing a national consumer advertising
campaign targeting online media outlets.
Our Review of The Flintstones Season Six
This was one series I could not wait to review.
I had very fond memories as a kid watching this cartoon with my family during
dinner, or coming home from school and putting it on in the 1970s. As a
child, it was fun to watch. Names like Stoney Curtis did not mean very
much to me back then. Even though the four main characters, Fred, Barney,
Wilma and Betty were all big people (adults) and Pebbles and Bam-Bam were
babies, I was still able to connect to them on some level.
Watching this again, and having my own children
watch the episodes was really amazing. However, today I look at the
cartoon in a different light. Yes, it still holds the same entertainment
value, but now I am able to understand some of the higher level jokes and
concepts being introduced by the writes, yet still remain hidden to the
children. As a child the Great Gazoo was just a crazy friend who came from
another planet, but I see him more like a conscience and a teacher to Fred and
Barney. Speaking of Gazoo, that was one of the best parts about this sixth
season, that is where we were introduced to the Great Gazoo. I liked him
from the start and still do, although I know that other's think of him as the
Scrappy Doo of the late 1960s.
The show was only on for six years and the last
season was probably one of the six best seasons available. Now I am
going to have to go out and purchase the other five. But honestly, If you
were a fan of The Flintstones growing up, this DVD is a must. If you have kids,
this is a great way to share the fun of your youth with them - I explained that
this was like Spongebob Squarepants when I was their age.
The four disks are crammed with all 26 episodes
from the final season with two pretty cool special features. One feature
is entitled The Flintstones Meet Pop Culture and was very interesting to show
how things going on in the world affected what was going on in Bedrock, and
vice-versa. The other feature entitled The Great Gazoo – From A to
Zetox was great, but it was way too short - I would have liked to know a
little more about the creation and history of the Great Gazoo.
