The Flintstones are 50 years old today 9/30/10. As a kid I sure liked Dino (still do for that matter).

Just to give you an idea of how different 50 years ago was, check out this ad from their first season. Mmm, mmm good for all the little girls and boys...

And just to keep this coin related post a coin from 1960...

I dressed up as Fred Flintstone for Halloween in '64 I believe.

Although now apparently I more closely resemble Barney Rubble!

No, she won't be eligible for another 3 years.

Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

The debut? I thought you were a family friend.
