I hear that 5 o'clock whistle in my mind like Fred Flintstone and I have to stop. I'm also not much of a morning writer. I have a sweet spot from about 11am to 4pm. But I really work during that time.
I was a big Fred Flintstone fan.
We became very good in developing comical sight gags when we made 'The Flintstones.'
'The Flintstones' was the first animated series to appear on nighttime TV.
It takes four people to lay out the 'Flintstones.'
The concept of the characters in animal skins and us satirizing modern technology made it fun. But the voices we cast and the characterization of Fred Flintstone had a lot to do with it.
We're delighted that Freddie Flintstone and his friends have made such a hit. The comedy is not the old cartoon slapstick. Most of it is situation stuff and dialogue.
