Marc Thankful4LifeUnpopular opinion-
The Jetsons is miles better than the Flintstones, no buts about it. It's not even close. The best thing about the Flintstones is Fruity Pebbles and that's not even part of the show.
Andrew (Television Executive)@Marclm13 The flintstones was just The Honeymooners in the stoneage.
@ajroach42 Pretty much. Though maybe I'm unfairly biased considering I found the Honeymooners itself extremely uninspired and unfunny.
@ajroach42 I love a lot of shows from that time period- just- the Honeymooners definitely was not one of them
@Marclm13 The honeymooners is significant in terms of it's place in TV history, and it's depictions of working class life and poverty, but it hasn't aged well. The skits that pre-dated the show were better, and the show works better as a historical document than a TV show.
If you want to see an example of a better show that treads over the same issues of poverty, and is funnier and less (though not un-) problematic look at The Goldbergs.
