Today I present The Flintstones Special: The Flintstones New Neighbors, an animated special that appeared on NBC prime time September 26, 1980.
In this special, the Munsters-esque family the Frankenstones move next to Fred and Wilma, but Fred won't have any "freaks" living next door to him and is initially antagonistic towards them. However, he soon learns that looks can be deceiving and prejudice can dwell in anyone. Who'd think such an important lesson could be handled on a Flintstones special?
The Frankenstones are fine and all, but to be honest--I'll take the Gruesomes any day.
Enjoy!
I always thought Fred a bully and a blowhard so I will take the Gruesomes any day too. I remember watching this as a kid and how Mr. Gruesome sounded like Igor.
