Boomerang, the $5/month streaming service that keeps adding new cartoons when really all the subscribers want, I presume, is more of the old stuff, did add a batch of vintage Flintstones episodes last week. I won't complain, but this whole series has been complete for years. It might be more exciting, if less, well, GOOD, if Boomerang added some of the various 1970s and 1980s spinoffs.
Any-Yabba-dabba-doo-hoo, I like how Boomerang describes the show in the email blast it sent describing this development:
Yabba Dabba Doo! More episodes of The Flintstones are now streaming on Boomerang! Join Fred and Barney as they race back to Bedrock for family time, friendly banter, and life's adventures.
Say you have a friend who has been living under a bedrock for the last 100 years and yet is still sentient and capable of listening to you and watching television. Is that how you would describe The Flintstones to that friend?
"friendly banter"?
"life's adventures"?
"family time"? OK, actually that one isn't too bad.
My favorite is "friendly banter"--like Fred and Barney are hosting a morning chat show.
