There is a reason The Flintstones keeps coming up in conversation. The Flintstones does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The misadventures of two modern-day Stone Age families, the Flintstones and the Rubbles. Alan Reed and Mel Blanc lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Across 6 seasons (1960–1966), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The timing in The Flintstones is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in The Flintstones. The tonal similarities to Dawn of the Croods are real, though The Flintstones carves out its own identity quickly. 6 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Alan Reed is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

The Flintstones wrapped up in 1966, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
