Which one ya got?​

 

[princesscinderella]

Jetsons all the way!!

 

[slo]

Both are fun, but I’ll always pick The Flintstones over The Jetsons.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Tough choice! I liked both!
I think I was probably more into The Flinstones than the Jetsons, but not by much.

 

[Skywalker]

I love the Jetsons, but, the Flintstones have a special place in my heart. So definitely The Flintstones!

 

[RedAngie]

The Flintstones were shown much more often than The Jetsons when I was a kid, (reruns) so I’ll go with the Modern Stone Age Family.

I loved how they incorporated animals into their technological needs. Baby Elephant’s trunk for a vacuum, bird’s beak as record player needle, etc.

 

[MIGrandma]

I’m more partial to the Jetsons.

 

[GreatLakes]

Both are great but between the two I'll go with The Flintstones. Smoke Winston kids.

 

[Snowysmom]

I really like both but I watched the Flintstones more.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Flintstones all the way ! I’m watching both every Sunday but much prefer the Flintstones!!

 

[happybaker]

I remember watching The Flintstones more. I need to exclude the episodes with Gazoo, though, because I hated him.

 

[maxaroni]

Liked and watched both, however, The Jetsons takes the win.

I liked the Jetsons - but 1000% my vote is for the Flintstones. I loved the clever humor, some of the similarities to Honeymooners, (which I read was the creator's inspiration) and all the snarky animal comments. I still watch it today and smile.

Unlike today's kids cartoons, hanna barbara and warner brothers offered entertainment adults as well as kids could appreciate.

I enjoyed both, but Flinstones is the superior show. As proof, I submit the lyrics to their respective shows...
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
Have a yabba-dabba-doo time
A dabba-doo time
We'll have a gay old time

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
They're the modern Stone Age Family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page right out of history

Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight
Then the cat will stay out for the night

When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba-dabba-doo time
A dabba-doo time
We'll have a gay old time


The Jetsons


Meet George Jetson
His boy, Elroy
Daughter Judy
Jane, his wife

The people rest.

Oh, that is a tough one. I really enjoyed both.

I think the edge will go to The Flintstones because I was a proud Flintstone vitamin kid. My favorite was getting the car vitamin!

 

[Kitty 34]

I thought about this a couple of hours in between other things on my "to do" list today.

I'm going with the Flintstones.

.......probably a baby boomer response!

As for the Flintstones ending credits, why didn’t Fred just hop thru the open window when the cat put him out? Just like the cat did when Fred put it out.

If I was Wilma I’d let Fred bang on the door all night. No way would I let him in if he couldn’t figure it out on his own.

he was a pretty "fluffy" guy lol- would he even fit through the window?

I do like The Jetsons, but The Flintstones has always been a favorite. It's actually so good. I often refer to it as The Simpsons of its day because it wasn't just for kids. Being animated, they were allowed to tackle some interesting topics, like Wilma actually being pregnant and Betty and Barny unable to have their own. The latter also led to an adoption story with Bamm Bamm.

Flintstones..... always fun and clever. Seemed like Jetson's was a copycat with a twist. (funny, but not as good.)
