Fred, it's chilly in here.
In fact, it's freezing!
brrrr
Oh-h-h, it's cold!
Fred, will you please
turn up the heat?
It feels like we're back
in the ice age.
Wilma, the ice age isn't due
for another 30,000 years.
(Wilma)
'Even Dino's freezing.'
brrr brrr brrr
Okay, Wilma, okay, if you
wanna run up a big fuel bill
I'll accommodate you.
Feeling cold is all in the mind.
There, I put it up to 20.
ring
Alright, alright,
I get the message.
Throw another log on the fire.
Hmm, that's better.
Well, time for bed,
Pebbles.
Kiss daddy goodnight.
mm-muah
Goodnight, precious,
sleep tight.
woof woof woof
(Wilma)
'Say goodnight
to Fred, too, Dino.'

Down, boy, down!
Heel! Heel!

Yuck!
Cut it out,

[theme song]
cawwww
Ee-yabba dabba doo!
Flintstones
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Let's ride with the family
down the street
Through the courtesy
of Fred's two feet
When you're with
the Flintstones
You'll have
a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
You'll have a gay old time
(Stoney)
'Well, Mr. Flintstone,
Mr. Rubble'
'ready for your workout?'
Sure, Mr. Stoney,
what do we do first?
Yeah, like, uh,
what's easy?
[chuckles]
First, we begin
with some calisthenics.
Now, do as I do.
One two, one two..
[grunting]
- How's this?
- Splendid!
Now, a couple of these
toe touchers.
One two, one two..
And then, the other side..
'One two, one two..'
Next, twist right,
turn left.
'Ha-hah, you're doing fine.'
A little faster now.
Stretch, turn, twist.
Stretch, turn, twist.
There we are.
Now, wasn't that easy?
I'd hate to have
to do the hard stuff.
(Stoney)
'Now, you men continue
to workout.'
When you're through,
I'll give you a rubdown.
Hey, how about
a little shadowboxing, Fred?
Good idea, Barn.
It'll loosen us up.
You know, I used to be
pretty good with my dukes.
poing
Never lost to my
shadow yet.
[chuckles]
thomp
Eegh!
A comedian, huh, Barney?
donk
Now, laugh that off.
What did I do?
Ah, here's something
in my speed, a punching bag.
boff
thud
Ow!
Hey, what's that thing
for, Barney?
It's called
the Medicine Boulder.
You strengthen
your stomach muscles
by bouncing it
off your tummy.
Here.
boing
thud
That does it. I've had enough.
I'm goin' for my rubdown.
I wonder if this will
strengthen my head muscles.
Just relax,
Mr. Flintstone.
One of our expert masseurs
will rub you down.
Rocky, take over.
Now, boy, this rubdown'
gonna feel good.
Huh?
[grunting]
bam
bang bang bang
If this guy's an expert, I'm
glad I didn't get an amateur.
Ooh! Ow! Ooh! Eeh! Ow!
Help!
[whirring]
crash
Now I know
what a pizza feels like.
Nothing like a refreshing
workout, huh, Fred?
[chuckles]
I don't know, Barney,
I'm b*at.
I think I'd rather
be fat and pudgy.
Come on, let's go home.
Hiya, Wilma.
I'm home.
Be with you shortly, dear.
Okay, Wilma.
Meanwhile, I'll pursue
my favorite hobby..
...watching TV.
[chuckles]
'Oh, these old-type sets
are m*rder.'
Where are those rabbit ears?
Hey!
[snoring]
'Come on, come on,
on your feet.'
boing
Here we go.
Nah, picture's still fuzzy.
Uh-uh. Too bright.
'Ah, not enough contrast.'
ting
swoosh
There.
Now the picture's perfect.
I know I look ridiculous,
but it's a living.
Hi, the g*ng and I
have been waiting for you.
So, why don't you
hum along with us?
[humming]
It's the Hum-mmm Along
With Herman Show.
For people who
don't know the words.
[humming]
Ho-ho, boy, I love this program.
It makes you feel
so intelligent.
Hey, Wilma, come on!
It's Hum Along With Herman.
Hum Along?
I'm hurrying.
Don't let them
start without me.
Oh, I forgot to sing
you a lullaby.
Um, lullaby and goodnight
la la la h-h-hmm♪
Goodnight, Pebbles.
The Soft Soap company
makers of the world's
softest soap..
Yuck!
Just smears some on,
and you'll be all washed up.
Presents,
Mr. Hum Along Herman himself.
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum.
[audience applauding]
Hi, all you hummers.
We have a great show
for you tonight.
But first, let me tell you
about our exciting new
barbershop quartet contest.
A barbershop quartet contest.
Hey, that's a great idea!
(Herman)
'Yes, siree, g*ng.'
I'm inviting all
the Bedrock barbershop quartets
to audition for the show.
Those accepted
will appear next week.
And now, listen to this.
The winners will receive..
An imported sports car,
with motor in the rear.
Close the door, it's cold.
- Sorry.
- It's alright.
Oh, boy, one horse power!
And for the wives
of the winners
this stylish, fully let-out
wooly mammoth.
What a coat!
There's nothing like a fully
let-out woolly mammoth.
Also included in the prizes,
is this sensational
new a*t*matic dishwasher.
whoosh
(audience)
'Ooh!'
splash
And for you golfers,
a complete set of matched clubs
'from a puttin' pebble..'
'...to a one driving boulder.'
thud
Wow, that's what I call
a powerful club!
[chuckles]
(TV presenter)
'And for you music lovers'
'the latest
stereo record player..'
[pleasant music]
'...with a*t*matic
record changer.'
- 'Wow!'
- 'Ooh!'
[jazz music]
What an age we live in!
Yeah, what'll they
think of next?
And for the grand prize,
a fabulous tropical vacation.
The winning quartet
and their families
will be flown
by Pterodactyl Airlines.
'That's right, folks.'
'Pterodactyl
will fly you non-stop'
'to that famous
Pacific paradise..'
'...Boulder Beach!'
Glamorous, romantic
Boulder Beach.'
'Swimming, boating'
'and the best fishing
in the world.'
splash
chomp
Now, that's what
I call fishing!
Wilma, start packing.
I'm gonna win that contest.
Fred, you don't even belong
to a barbershop quartet.
(Fred)
'A mere technicality.
I'll form my own.'
In fact, I'll phone the boys
right now to see who can sing.
I'll start with Barney.
Four, one, twenty-three,seven
eighty-six, zero,
eighteen, two, five.
Boy, I'm sure glad they
simplified the dialing system.
Hi, Freddie boy,
what's cookin'?
Plenty, Barney.
I wanna see you right away.
Sure, Fred,
I'd like to see you, too.
Good, good,
come right over.
Be there
in a jiffy, Fred.
- Barney!
- Fred!
(Fred)
'Alright, alright.'
'Don't you ever think
of knockin'?
[both laughing]
'Hey, listen, Barn.
How's your singin' voice?'
Oh, it's lovely, Fred.
Uh, matter of fact,
I'm soloing tonight.
Soloing? Where?
(Barney)
'In my bathtub,
every Tuesday and Saturday.'
[chuckles]
Why?
Fred's entering
a barbershop quartet contest.
Yeah, and I'm looking
for guys with talent.
I'll test your voice.
Come on, we'll start
with the scale.
Oh, oh, sure.
The scale..
Uh, let's see,
I-I know the melody
but I'm not sure
about the words.
It goes, do re mi fa--
Oh, oh, oh, yeah yeah.
Do re mi fa so
ahem ahem
Do re mi fa so la to do
Thank you, Barney,
and as they say in showbiz
don't call us,
we'll call you.
Oh, boy!
We'll rehearse
for the singin' contest
right after lunch.
Now, where's
that noon whistle?
[snoring]
Hmm, 12 o'clock.
creak
squeak squeak squeak
[startles]
[trumpets]
Okay, lunch time!
Knock it off!
Wonder what kind of sandwich
Wilma made for me.
Oh, no, fish again.
I'll skip lunch and start
with the rehearsal.
(Fred)
'Okay, group,
time to exercise our tonsil.'
Aren't you gonna give us
time for lunch? I'm starved!
Me too, Fred.
I'm all set to eat this
delectable, hard boiled
henasaurous egg.
cr*ck cr*ck
pew
caw caw caw
Heh, heh, heh.
I guess you didn't
boil it long enough.
Look, fellas, if we're gonna
win that Hum Along contest
we gotta practice, practice
and more practice.
Ten minutes should do it.
We'll start with
"Stony River."
"Stony River", huh?
Yeah, yeah,
I like the old hits.
Everybody set?
tap tap tap
Yeah, except,
we can't read music.
Well, that's okay.
Fake it.
You know, like
the big singing stars do.
Now, uh, let me
give you the right pitch.
puff
hnee
Perfect!
Now, you guys,
hum the intro to my solo.
Your solo?
'Well of course,
you gotta have a soloist.'
A one, a two,
a three.
Ooh ooh ooh
'Not bad, boys.
You need work, but not bad.'
Well, here goes.
Way down upon a Stony River
Far far away
There's where me heart
is turning ever
There's where
the old folks stay
All up
And down
the whole creation
Sadly I roam
[rumbling]
Avalanche!
Avalanche!
Out of the pit!
Everybody, out of the pit!
Come on, Fred!
Still longing
for the old plantation
And for
the old folks at home
[indistinct mumbling]
Everywhere I roam♪
thud
Oh, buck up, Fred.
Anybody can cause
a catastrophe.
We dug you out,
didn't we?
I was thinkin'
about that audition.
We'll never
make it with my voice.
True, but none of us
can sing the lead either.
Hey, you passed my corner.
screech screech
clang
Sorry, Joe. I should've
put in safety belts.
creak
Yeah, that's
a good thought, Fred.
See you tomorrow.
Well, that's the way
the bouncing ball bounces.
No lead voice.
No lead voice,
no barbershop quartet.
Figaro figaro figaro
Hey, that's
what I call a voice!
Figaro figaro figaro
Ha, ha, ha.
That Barney!
Whenever he gets a new record
he's gotta play it
for the neighborhood.
Okay, Barn, very nice.
Now turn down that darn..
Huh?
Figaro
Figaro figaro
Haa-haa-haa-haa-haa-choo.
Bein' a bath brush
is a nice clean job
but the soap makes me sneeze.
Barney, is that really you?
Why, I hope so, Fred.
Was me when I got in the tub.
I'm talkin' about your voice.
Oh, my voice.
Figaro figaro
Figaro
splash
Incredible!
What note was that?
Uh, high H.
Very few people can hit it.
Uh, now listen to this note.
I don't hear anything.
woof woof woof
It's, uh, such a high note
only dogs can hear it.
Okay, fellas,
the recital is over. b*at it.
woof woof woof
Barney, you have
just won yourself
a job of soloist with
the Flintstone Canaries.
The what?
The Flintstone Canaries.
My barbershop quartet.
We're entering the
"Hum Along with Herman" contest.
You be at my house
tonight for rehearsal.
B-but wait, Fred.
Uh, uh, I can't sing
with you. You see--
All I see is that free trip
to Bolder Beach.
Now, get your
clothes on, soloist.
Oh, sorry, Fred,
I can't sing with--
You'll sing,
or you'll get this.
- Get it?
- Oh, yeah, I get it.
Figaro figaro figaro♪
Tomorrow's the
audition, fellas
so let's get to work.
Oh, I don't know, Fred.
You think we're ready
to perform in public?
We haven't practiced enough.
Relax, relax.
Barney's voice'll carry us.
Wait till you hear him.
He'll bring
tears to your eyes.
(male #1)
'He sounds too good for us.'
Nobody's too good for
the Flintstone Canaries.
Correction.
The Rubble Canaries.
The Rubble Canaries?
Why not?
I'm the lead, ain't I?
puff puff
Ahem, ahem.
Uh, may I have an A?
An A?
'Okay, I'll settle
for a B plus.'
Get in here!
Now, let's take it
from the top.
"Stony River." Go.
Ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Fred)
'Hit it, Barn.'
Way down upon
the Stony River
What?
Far far away
You were right, Fred.
His voice does bring
tears to the eyes.
It's terrible!
I get it, Barney.
You're trying
to throw the song.
Now where's the voice
I heard in your house?
Still in the bathtub, Fred.
(Fred)
'What are you babblin' about?'
I tried to tell you, Fred.
I'm just a bathtub tenor.
Out of the tub,
I can't sing a note.
'That's for sure.'
Hum Along Herman
expects us to audition.
- Now what will we do?
- Simple, Fred.
We invite Herman
to my bathroom.
I'll get in the tub and--
Get outta here!
You in the tub.
Hey!
Wait a minute,
that gives me an idea.
I don't know, Fred.
This whole business
is kinda kooky.
Yeah, Herman's liable to toss us
right out of the audition.
Now, don't worry.
Everything will be fine
once he hears our soloist.
Huh, Barney?
Oh, this tub's
awful heavy, Fred.
And what happens
if my landlord finds it
missing from the bathroom?
Forget your landlord!
Just keep that tub rolling.
Okay.
But I'm still not happy
about taking a bath
in front of an audience.
Uh-oh. I-I can't
go through with it.
What's the matter now?
I forgot my bath brush.
squeak squeak
Hey, the tub,
it's gettin' away!
thud
Look out!
Run away tub!
ding ding
screech screech
ding ding
'Run away tub!'
thud
Duh, wow.
Must be one of them
new compacts.
Oh, boy!
From now on,
I stick to showers.
Hey, this is the parade route.
[blowing whistle]
Stop, in the name of the..
whoosh
How do you like that?
A hit-and-run bathtub.
[band music]
General, this is the most
impressive m*llitary display
I've ever witnessed.
Thank you, governor.
But wait until you see
our new secret w*apon.
It should be along any minute.
Look out!
crash
crash
I don't know
what you call it, general
but I'm sure glad..
...it's on our side.
Heh, heh, hey!
This isn't too bad.
Have tub, will travel.
Ha, ha, ha.
All it needs
is a radio and a heater.
Uh-oh!
whoosh
There goes another one of those
middle-aged sport car nuts.
vroom
Dabba dabba!
'The shopping center when I
didn't even bring a list!'
whoosh
'Coming through!
Coming through!'
crash
clank clank
'Coming through!
Coming through!'
'The name's Flintstone.'
'Put it all on my bill.'
Hey, you forgot your stamps!
(policeman #1)
'I'll deliver 'em.'
Fred!
Don't worry, honey.
I just did the shopping
for the whole year!
crash crash
screech
Where'd he go?
Where'd he go?
Wow, what an ugly dummy!
vroom
Boy, that was close!
Better hurry if I'm gonna
make the audition.
La la-la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
What do you think
of the audition so far, sir?
Well, they're okay,
if you like animal acts.
La la la la la
la la la la-la
Frankly, Herman,
the agency
is a little worried
about your show.
But, but my rating's
gone up to minus 20.
Oh, it's not the rating.
It's our sponsor,
Mr. Sockso.
He's getting tired
of the same old commercial.
Wants something
new and catchy.
Well let's see
what else we have.
Okay, next!
How do you do, gentlemen?
We are the
Flintstone Canaries.
Oh, no!
Not another
trained animal act.
[peppy music]
Shooboob bee doop

You mean,

Not only that..
...you're gonna be
on next week's show!
Yaaba dabba doo!
You hear that, Barney?
What have you got
to say for yourself?
Get me out of this tub,
will you? I-I'm freezin'.
h-a-a-c-h-o-o

[all laughing]
Doodap daa dooroo
I don't understand it.
The boys said
they'd be on TV tonight.
And "Hum Along"
is almost over.
Well, that's it
for tonight, g*ng.
Hope you enjoyed the show.
Hum hum hum hum
Hum along

Until next week

to buy soft soap.
Soft soap, because..
La tadum dum dum
Soft soap

Soft soap soft soap
Gentle for babies

It prevents embarrassment
Good heavens!
