Featured reviews
Not only is it impossible to replace Mel Blanc's Barney Rubble voice. But, all the other hilarious voices he does leave a huge hole in the show without him. There was zero chemistry without Mel Blanc. Daws Butler was only ok taking over the Barney Rubble voice. Makes you realize how irreplaceable the four main stars are how gifted they are. Fred's voice would later be replaced in future reboots of the series that I never really cared for. Episode only ok. The next four without Mel Blanc I'm not expecting too much from.
Interesting timing possibly to deflect the loss of Mel Blanc the show's first guest Hoagy Carmichael. He was fun to hear interact and sing. Nothing really funny in the episode. The singing was probably the highlight.

Fred Flintstone: Good evening, miss. Flintstone's the name. Fred Flintstone.
Librarian: Oh, yes. You've come to return the book you took out. It's a little overdue, you know. Exactly 11 years and 31 days.
Fred Flintstone: My dear madam, it so happens I brought that book back the next day.
Barney Rubble: Uh, what was the name of the book, Fred?
Fred Flintstone: How to Improve Your Manners. And it did me no good at all.
Librarian: Obviously.
