    Actually after Pebbles is born Wilma becomes a journalist for the Daily Granite, then becomes a caterer with Betty. Get your Flintstones lore right

        That was before she married Fred. In fact, that’s how they meet, he was a bellhop at the same resort.

      Even more accurate is to say that he paid the salaries of a large number of animal “house workers” hence their catchphrase “It’s a living!” They all earned their living off of that one guy’s income

        Plus being able to drive implies at least some degree of literacy

        Unless Fred was raised by some of those middle of the woods car wizard redneck types that are dangerously close to keeping their vehicles together and running through Waagh energy

    Flintstones was based upon 1950 suburban US culture

      On the one hand, you can read it as a parody of late 20th century life - like, haha imagine a caveman clocking into work

      but on the other hand, Flinstones and its far future counterpart Jestsons kinda suggest an inability to imagine anything different. Automobile-ized suburban development frequently gets presented an the human ‘default’. As though we just default to this, rather than it being one of many ways cities and society could be organized.

        I tried watching the Jetsons last year and it was pretty painful. The story moved really slow, the mother was claiming to be overworked pressing a button. Everything was a mildly linear improvement from the 1950s and it had very old ideas. It did not age well
