i had just seen a family guy christmas episode and it struck me how really stark in colour this is, there is something magic about these old time cartoons, this was a real treat of a holiday watch, i wish they removed the laugh track on these old flintstones cartoons though, what great lines for a cartoon at the start of this, and can you believe the snobby lady had been waiting half an hour for fred's gift wrapping. man, check out the flintstones forks and knifes, that is rugged, notice one kid in the mall look like his head is turned around. it was strange the opening of this episode was a clip from something taking place later on. this episode can be found as bonus material on the "a flintstones christmas carol" dvd, i had already seen that last year or so, but i flipped through it just to compare, and the colours on the old tv episode are way cooler and stronger, the tv movie made three decades later, seem to have suffered from the re occurring phenomena of a series growing vision like sharper, corny with lazy cheap jokes, remember how cool garfield the cat once was before with each version getting more polished?, not to mention the deterioration of the sitcom "married with children", but goodness there seem to be many flintstones christmas bits, i wish they would have put more on the flintstones christmas carol dvd, but i would advice you to check this 1964 episode out, it really is something else.

you came by in winter wonderland,
as kids slide snowy hills in sleds,
your wonderbody filled out a dress,
and i wasn't ready for it,
with your two giant hills on top,
from there my reality fall,
down your wild terrain of curves trying to hold on,
but they just keep comin as my attempts you knock off,
i fell down steep crashed at your high heels in the snow.
