The prehistoric and prehysterically funny legacy grows larger on DVD with this fabulous 32-episode 4-disc set of Season Two! A perfect alchemy of adult humor, outlandish plots and childish pranks, The Flintstones offered cartoon characters that over time appear even more human and multidimensional than many of their live-action TV situation comedy counterparts. But the biggest ongoing series treat - the one that hooks each new generation - is the sight gag of dinosaurs performing as "modern" appliances - from lawnmowers to airplanes to vacuum cleaners to garbage disposals. This Deluxe Set is full of such visual delights and classic episodes. Now, thanks to modern-day advent of DVD, the memories are forever etched in stone!

Coming the same day (December 7) is The Man Called Flintstone:
Meet Fred Flintstone, super spy. He's the kind of guy who'd go down in history, except this is the Stone Age and history hasn't been invented yet. What, you don't know him? You will when you watch the feature-length cartoon spy spoof The Man Called Flintstone. Our man from Bedrock takes on the mission of an injured super agent who looks exactly like Fred. His task: find the arch-baddie Green Goose and stop his world-domination plan. So, pretending to be on a modern Stone-Age family vacation with Wilma, Barney and Betty, Fred wings overseas to Eurock for some wild and woolly-mammoth intrigue. This is one spy caper that won't be finished 'til it's yabba-dabba-done!
This 89 minute DVD will sell for $19.97 US. Expect it to sport full frame video, with English and French mono soundtracks, and Enlish, French and Spanish subtitles.
