  • In This Episode of the Flintstones, the Main Characters Are Shown to Seek Martial Arts Lessons
    In this episode of the Flintstones, the main characters are shown to seek martial arts lessons. The judo master in the scene is depicted as a Japanese man who wears a sinister-looking smile throughout the scene. He offers the characters lessons at supposedly good prices. As he rattles off the offers by ensuring them that they could get "silver medal lessons" for "[a] big bargain, big bargain" and "for a few more measly dollars ... gold medals, diamond medals...," his pronunciations are exaggeratedly shown to be wrong by a mix up between r's and l's and by an obvious difference in the emphasis on syllables. The man's speech is set apart from the other characters' by juxtaposing his differently accented words to the others' SAE pronunciation. Also, the Flintstones and their friends bowed while imitating his accent as if attempting to fit that man's mannerisms. However, this can be seen as making light of the man's characteristics and manners as if they are silly. In this scene, the judo master portrays prevalent stereotypes about Asians. The man's inability to enunciate r's and l's reflect the struggle that many people face in differentiating between r's and l's in English because their native tongues do not make the same distinction. More importantly, the judo master's speech is used to indicate a lack of intelligence, as evidence by Fred's comment, "What does 'et cetera, et cetera' mean in Japanese? Sucker?" which is followed by Barney's response in a tone mocking the Japanese man's, "Oh, that's for sure!" Furthermore, prior to that, Fred had thrown in an unintelligible word in an attempt to imitate the man's Japanese accent.

Dwyer has called “pop nostalgia,” a set of critical affective responses to representations of previous eras used to remake the present or to imagine corrective alternatives to it. Longings for the Fifties, Dwyer observes, were especially key to America’s self-fashioning during the Reagan era (2015). Moving from these premises, I turn to anachronisms, aesthetic resonances, and intertextual references that point to, as Mark Fisher would have it, both a lost past and lost futures (Fisher 2014, 2-29) in the episodes of the Hanna-Barbera animated series The Jetsons produced for syndication between 1985 and 1987. A product of Cold War discourse and the early days of the Space Age, the series is characterized by a bidirectional rhetoric: if its setting emphasizes the empowering and alienating effects of technological advancement, its characters and its retrofuture aesthetics root the show in a recognizable and desirable all-American past.

  • The Flintstones (1960-1966), About a “Modern Stone-Age Family,” Was The
    Columbia Pictures) to develop a prime-time animated series. They worked out the concept of parodying current situation comedies, especially The Honeymooners and Father Knows Best, with the twist of setting them in a different historical era. Cartoonists Dan Gordon and Bill Benedict had the idea to use a Stone Age setting (although the Fleischer Studios pro- duced a similar series of Stone Age Cartoons back in 1940). The concept was bought by ABC, and premiered Sept. 30, 1960. Voiced by Alan Reed, Jr. (Fred Flintstone), Mel Blanc (Barney Rubble), Jean VanderPyl (Wilma Flintstone) and veteran actress Bea Benaderet (Betty Rubble), The Flintstones finished the season in the Nielsen ratings’ top 20, and won a number of industry awards, including the Golden Globe, and an [email protected] Emmy nomination for best comedy series of 1960-61. A clear appeal of the series lays in its parody of sitcom for- mula plots, and there are elements of satire in the way modern consumer conveniences are turned into sight gags. One of the show’s favorite gags was to have cameos by Stone Age versions of modern celebrities (Ann Margrock, Stony Curtis, etc.). The most popular gimmick was Wilma’s pregnancy, ending with the February 1963 “birth” of their little girl, Pebbles. The next season the Rubbles adopted Bamm-Bamm, a little boy of incredible strength and a one- word vocabulary. By the fifth and sixth seasons, the show began to use more storylines aimed at kids, with new neighbors the Grue- somes (a spin on The Munsters and The Addams Family), and magical space alien The Great Gazoo (Harvey Korman).

    Imagining the Future into Reality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of The Jetsons by Jane Elizabeth Myrick A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in English (Honors Scholar) Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Education (Honors Scholar) Presented April 30, 2019 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jane Elizabeth Myrick for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in English and Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Education presented on April 30, 2019. Title: Imagining the Future into Reality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of The Jetsons. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________ Eric Hill This investigation examines The Jetsons’ vision of the future and tracks to what extent the content of the show is relevant to the modern era, both technologically and socially. Much of the dazzling technology in the show feels familiar, and most of it is either already available or is in development, so the innovations of the present are largely keeping pace with the show’s vision. Culturally, the show reflects the values of the era in which it was created (in the 1960s), and despite the show’s somewhat dated outlook on culture and society, we can still empathize and see our own modern experiences reflected back at us through an animated futuristic lens. Therefore, The Jetsons serves as a touchstone for our hopes for the future as well as the experiences of the past and the values and goals of the

  • Meet the Flintstones
    Meet the Flintstones Fred and Wilma Flintstone have a joint checking account 1-654-9 at RFB-Rock Branch with Fred as the IRS owner. Fred, a quarry equipment operator, SS# 123-45-6789 came in and deposited 8,500 in cash which was his cash bonus from recent quarterly quarry sales. Later in the day, Wilma SS# 987-65-4321 brought in 2,500.50 in cash from the sale of her rock necklaces from the weekend craft show along with 555.75 in checks. She took $500.15 of the cash to purchase a bank check to pay tuition for Pebbles to attend 4H, Happy Horned Toads, pet camp with her pet, Dino. She then took $75 cash from Pebbles’ account 9-321-7, to pay for vaccinations for Dino so that he is eligible to attend camp. After school that day, Pebbles also came to the bank with some friends to deposit $25.00 in coin to her savings account which was her portion of profit from Shamrock sales by the 4H club as a fundraiser for camp. Pebbles’ SS is 456-98-7321 no DL, her student ID from Bedrock Jr Hi is on file as well as her birth certificate. Fred and Wilma are co-owners with Pebbles on the savings account. As it happened, Fred had written a check to his fellow lodge brother, Barney Rubble, for his share of the recent St Patrick’s Day bowling party they hosted for the lodge. Barney brought the check to be cashed on the same day, 4/1/2013, as the other transactions.

  • Being Fred Flintstone
    Being Fred Flintstone Stephen Balzac Remember the classic kid’s TV show, the Flintstones? Fred and Wilma Flintstone are a stone age couple who live in something that looks oddly like the 1950s with rocks. Lots and lots of rocks. Despite this, the show had nothing to do with either rock music or getting stoned. It did, however, have an episode which predicted that the Beatles were a passing fad. So much for prognostication! Fortunately, that episode is not the point of this article. In one episode, Fred complains to Wilma that he can’t understand what she does all day. How hard can it be to take care of a house? Of course, as Fred swiftly learns, after he and Wilma make a bet, the answer is very hard. Fred, of course, makes a total mess of the whole thing. Now, obviously, the cartoon was playing off of social issues of the time and was intended to make people laugh. The obvious lesson, that a “non-working mother” is a contradiction in terms, is hopefully one that most people have figured out by now. The less obvious lesson is the much more interesting one: it is often impossible to gauge from the results, or from watching someone work, just how difficult a job actually is or even how hard they are working! Conversely, how people feel about the results has little bearing on how hard you worked to get them. At one company, a manager told an employee that he wasn’t going to get a raise because he made the work “look too easy.” Of course, one might argue that most people who develop their skill in a field eventually become good enough that they manage to make the job look easy.

  • Race, Class, and Rosey the Robot: Critical Study of the Jetsons
    Race, Class, and Rosey the Robot: Critical Study of The Jetsons ERIN BURRELL The Jetsons is an animated sitcom representing a middle-class patriarchal family set in space in the year 2062. Following in the footsteps of family-friendly viewing such as Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963) and Hanna-Barbera’s own The Flintstones (1960-1966), The Jetsons offered a futuristic take on a near-perfect nuclear family. The Jetsons centers on a family headed by a “male breadwinner” and “Happy housewife heroine” that Betty Friedan credits to creators of women’s media in the 1950s and 60s (23). Packed with conservative white American perspectives and values, the show is set in the suburbs of intergalactic Orbit City and features husband George, wife Jane, teenage daughter Judy, and prodigy son Elroy (Coyle and Mesker 15). The cast is complemented by secondary characters that include George’s boss Cosmo Spacely, the owner of Spacely Sprockets, and Rosey the robot maid. The only element that seemed to be missing from the earliest episodes was a family pet, which was rectified with the addition of Astro the dog early in the first season (“The coming of Astro”). The first season (S1) aired on Sunday nights September 1962 - March 1963, (Coyle and Mesker) and was one of the first shows to debut in color on ABC (Jay). Despite early cancellation the show landed deeply in the pop culture cannon through syndication and experienced renewed interest when it was brought back in the 1980s for two additional seasons (S2-3). Today, The Jetsons continues to reach new audiences with video and digital releases serving to revitalize the program.
