From what I found online, the park opened in 1966 and closed in Sept 2015 after it was sold to a new owner (the original owner retired). Apparently the park was going to be redone with a western theme and remove the Flintstones (that's why there was western stuff on the train route), but apparently not much has happened with that in the last 2 years. I remember visiting this place in the 70s and 80s. We stayed at the campground. Those houses weren't cabins that guests stayed in. They were like look-in dioramas of the houses the Flintstones and the people of Bedrock lived in and worked in. They were decorated with lots of props and details. In that Stonewall Playhouse was a little animatronic show featuring a prehistoric animal music trio. There was a "drive in" that showed Flintstones cartoons every night too.
i visited this place this summer since it isn’t too far from where i live, and almost every original aspect is gone since they’ve started remodeling. there are a couple little statues left however. and they did stick with the old west theme but it’s pretty generic in my opinion. sad that there’s nothing really special about it anymore
It looks boring
I went here a few times as a kid back when it was still open. I loved to ride the train. There was also a campground for pitching tents. Went with my parents and grandparents when I was about 12 or so, back in 1994.
From what I remember most of the houses weren't used as cabins. They were just for display.
@@82dorrin there was a very similar park in Kelowna BC where I had some fun visits and birthdays.
i went to this campground in the summer of 2012! this is like my third or fourth time watching this video (i love how surreal it is), so for those who want to read, i thought I’d share some things i remember about it! i was nine at the time, so some things are kind of hazy.
- those houses were all like that - you could go in them, but there wasn’t really anything worth seeing. maybe when it first opened there were things inside them, but they were all as empty as they were in this video when i visited.
- there was an animatronic show in that theatre! i remember fred, barney, and wilma being in it, but dino might have also been on stage. they weren’t in the best condition; i remember my mom describing them as “clunky”. if anyone is interested in seeing them, i have a link to some footage.
- there was a mini golf course, but you had to pay extra to use it. it was tiny, and wasn't really themed any different than any other mini golf course.
- those bones were there when i rode the train. again, maybe things were different when it first opened. (also, that t-rex is just as terrifying as I remembered)
that's all i can really recall without it verging into the territory of commentary (fun fact: that snake in the playground was how i found out i have claustrophobia) but if i can remember anything else i'll edit this to add more.
I want the links
I was just watching this they could of done better, especially for those of us that grew up watching they. But they they could do better.Most people don't watch the Flintstones anymore.
Its good that its not totally vandalized.
It actually looks pretty good all things considering.
Makes me wonder if someone is still caring for the place. Some of the paint looked too vivid and intact, while other parts were chipped and weathered. Perhaps a local Scout group, or maybe a one of those people who worry about their property value every moment?
Yes someone bought it and are trying to negotiate with Warner Bros to get the Flintstones rights since only the old owners had them before they retired
i thought the same thing
Warner Bros owns the rights to the Flintstones these days? Never would have guessed.
Whoever owns the rights, they probably want to much for the continued use of those rights.
I read that the park opened in 1966 and closed in 2015. That explains why the structures are still in good shape. I noticed there were no figures of any of the characters though. Wonder where they went. Nice to see no evidence of vandalism.
Rhonda Zambernardi storage the park still runs the camp ground in the summers just closed the theme park
Now that we have posted it here, watch the vandals attack.
The vandls wouldn't be able to the Nonrenewal of the WB Contact that is making them remove everything that has to do with the Flintstones.
As I recall it was in the middle of nowhere (I remember behind the Flinstones home and the Bedrock City were miles of undeveloped land going toward the mountains) so you pretty much have to deliberately go there to reach it, not something people in a neighborhood or area could vandalize.
@@manypearls7193 Good thing.
The houses in the park weren't cabins. They were just for display. Back when the park was operational, they had figures of Bedrock residents from the cartoons in them
No vandalism. I am both surprised and encouraged. Seeing all the vandalism depresses me sometimes.
ditto
It's still used as a campground during the summer.
Rob B is right and the WB contract didn't get renewed, so they are removing everything Flintstone Related.
This is because none of the punk ass youth of today even have a clue about the place and it is a more rural area and children are still taught manners and respect in Small Town America.
It's sad my 10 year old cousin knows the flintstones characters but she thinks they're just Pebbles cereal mascots.
Albert Deaton - My daughter knew them from her vitamins lol
Yep. Vitamins and cereal 🥣
@@MichaelDooleyProject I suppose that's the only thing keeping these guys around at all.
@@ChristopherSobieniak ...and those MeTV reruns: www.metv.com/shows/the-flintstones
At least they don't think they are just a meme
Great video. My wife still has nightmares about crawling thru that long snake with a hundred other kids at 90 degree temps. Family fun!
I went there several times when I was a kid. I loved riding the train. I don't think I was ever brave enough to go in the snake, though.
I was at the Bedrock city in AZ a few weeks after Paul Shore was there with MTV in the late 80s. I still have the tshirt I bought there.
I was there a couple of years ago. Those are not cabins. They are themed rooms that stone aged people like the Flintstones, lived in. The people and household items are missing. I hope everything is in storage.
The items are missing do to that it's part of a Campground that didn't have its WB Contract renewed. So, they are being forced to remove everything that has to with the Flintstones.
These videos are always fascinating, and sad. It's nice to see that although the place is deteriorating, it hasn't been vandalized to hell. But clearly the place is beyond hope/repair, and will only deteriorate further. I think you're right, the lack of Flintstones awareness today would only hurt the turnout at an old amusement area built upon Flintstones themeing.
As always, thanks for sharing these great videos. I'm among those who loves the abandoned sites the most. This was a great find.
Like the Flintstones, I llkewise wonder what the future has in store for the Peanuts gang. The holiday specials are still on TV, the cartoon runs in repeats in newspapers, but I don't sense children are exposed much to the Peanuts characters these days.
what a trip, train looks just as i remember it 15-20 years ago when i was a kid. seeing that instantly took me on a memory loop going around that track, its weird how clearly i remember it.. I think i would've been a part of the last generation of kids that grew up watching flintstones and other cartoon network classics to pass through that place. By the time my sisters post 2000 generation started watching cartoons it was the nickelodeon generation watching fairly oddparents, powerpuff girls, spongebob etc
I stopped there during a family vacation in the Summer of 2001. It was a road side attraction during daylight hours at the time. The buildings were not used as sleeping quarters. You could explore and take photos in them. One of the buildings had episodes of The Flintstones cartoon on a constant loop. They used to have life size character statues that you could pose with. The train looked different, but guests could go on a ride around the park with a tour guide who knew his dinosaur trivia and had corny jokes to match. There were more bones scattered along the journey, which I thought were faux back then, but it must have been a mix. The guide called them “fossils”. They had them strategically arranged in dinosaur shapes to look like they had dug them up in actual nature there and were actively excavating them. Looking back, it was quite impressive.
That's EXACTLY how I remember it. About 2001/2002 l
I went here a few times as a kid back when it was still open. I loved to ride the train. There was also a campground for pitching tents. I was five years old the first time my parents took me there, so I don't remember much from that trip. Went with my parents and grandparents when I was about 11 or so, back in 1993.
From what I remember the houses weren't used as cabins. They were just for display.
My family visited the Arizona location in 2012 when it was still operational. My father is a huge Flintstones fan, so exploring the park was a blast. The grounds were well kept, but unfortunately many of the attractions were in need of some TLC. - I'm a huge fan! Love the videos! - JP Price (Fan in Oregon)
I wish I got to go here when I was a kid, I was totally obsessed with the Flinstones and now Fred is my type, lol.
Omg! Nostalgia! I was there over 20 years ago and remembered the slide and the snake tunnel. It was a lot of fun back then but I used to watch the Flintstones so it was awesome to step into their world.
The park was started by two men from Chamberlain, SD who bought the rights from Hanna-Barbera to build it. They constructed all of the houses and statues themselves out of concrete and the giant Dino statue was actually brought here in two pieces and put together when it arrived. They even fashioned an old 1962 Volkswagen to look like a Flintstones car and used it to advertise the park when it first opened.
I remember The Flintstones. It was required watching after dinner when I was a child.
For me I would watch it during lunch time.
Come on let restore bedrock city to his formal glory
Snap
I can't believe it's in such good shape.
My family went there in 1969 on the way to Mount Rushmore...it was a pretty basic 1960's tourist trap...my sister liked it better because she was younger, but I loved the small theater that showed the Flintstones tv shows one after another.
Wow! It was interesting to see this after all these years. When I visited there as a kid in 1969, there was only a handful of buildings, a theater that showed Flintstone cartoons, a dune buggy decked out like the Flinstone mobile that a driver rode you around on a track and a snake, that was maybe one third of the size, that you could climb through. There was probably a gift shop but I don't remember. I do remember there were no trees and very little grass. It's a shame it closed.
I watched Flintstones as a kid. I would have loved to see what this park when it was still operational.
I went there several times when I was a kid. I loved riding the train. I don't think I was ever brave enough to go in the snake, though.
"That's a whole pelvis" 😂😂😂
Lol
I'm game...
no vandalism and the grass is well kept.
The Bedrock City in Az is actually still open to the public. I went down there a couple of months ago and they still have a small train running, the "movie theater" still reruns the Flinstones, and the gift shop is for sure still open. It's a bit more run down than this one is but still pretty awesome to see! I believe admission is $5 or $4 if you show them the online coupon from the website lol
That tunnel gave me anxiety I would never have let my kids go in there!
I when there two years ago. I absolutely loved this place. The reason this one was closed was because the people couldn’t pay the royalties to the owner. This used to be a fun place. But they closed her. I remember going on the train and whenever a length of track would go to another and the car would rock, I thought I was gonna fall off! Thank you for refreshing my memory of this place.
I vaguely remember going there in the late 70s/early 80s. My Mom still has some little souvenir Bedrock cars and wot-not. I didn't know the place lasted so long. This is cool. Thanx for posting.
I’ve been here a lot because my great aunt lived in Custer and and you got a lot wrong, but it’s fun seeing the park again. The theater played episodes of the Flintstones, you couldn’t go into the houses. The always had half doors. There were guys who drove golf carts around the playground. A lot of those bones are probably deer, but most of those bones are fake dinosaur bones. I know this video is old, but if you wanna know, I know.
i just loved it when he said "that's a pelvis" so nuetrally 😂
I sent a bunch of your videos to my mom the other day and she just called me all excited because she has been to this park as a kid when they were on a road trip! She said those small houses had actors inside and you could see in but couldn't go into them. They might even have home videos of it, so I'd be interested now to see what it used to be like. Thank you for sharing this. She was sad to see it abandoned, but said it was cool to picture what everything used to be like while watching this.
+Melanie Lindberg thank you so much! If you interested I am trying to collect old home videos to do a compilation to show how it is changed
The Carpetbagger If we come across any I'd love to show you!
I like that this is a fun abandoned place and not some creepy, murderous mansion.
So sad that it's been closed. I would have LOVED~ to have gone there and I'm 24! I grew up with the Flinstones. Loved the live action movie.
Even sadder is the everything Flintstones in the Campground is going do to the WB Contact not being renewed.
Just learned this place isn’t around anymore . My grandparents took me there when I was a kid and it was my favorite trip .
This was one of our stops in the late 60s or early 70s when our family took our annual road trip out west. We started with a pop up tent and eventually moved up to a Winnebago before RVs were popular. Thanks for this it brings back good memories. New sub!
"City Hall and Lost and Found" was what used to be on the building.
This brings back memories. I remember going there as a kid
Aw thank you so much for coming and exploring South Dakota! I grew up going to this park, sad to see it go. Hope you enjoyed time here!
I went here on my 17th birthday in 2002. I remember the music and the cartoons and how well painted and well cut the grass was and the characters. It's been closed for like three years now so let's see what this place will look like in another five years. At least you don't have to pay to get in anymore to enjoy the place but it won't be maintained and it will be overgrown and maybe vandalized.
That part that mentioned next showtime was for an animatronics show with Fred, Wilma, and Dino, they sang songs and danced. Songs sang by the animatronics included a song about "national Dino week", Wilma singing "my guy", and "it's still rock and roll to me", I can't remember if they had other songs . Then after the show out of a closet Fred and Barney would come out ( two people in mascot outfits) and take photos with patrons. The part you were mentioning that was a refreshment area was where they sold popcorn and candy for a theater that played episodes of Flintstones. My first job was there, I worked as the Fred mascot outfit.
I grew up near there and I am sad this closed down. It was super fun. The different characters would walk around and say hi to everyone and take pictures.
I loved the Flinstone's when I was growing up . YABA DABA DOOOO..... THANK YOU !!!!
Back in the day there were two more Flintstones Bedrock Cities near me, too - one in Kelowna, British Columbia and another in Bridal Veil Falls, British Columbia. I wouldn't be surprised if there were many, many more out there!
I remember going there as a kid. God it's weird seeing a piece of my childhood on CZcams. I'm from South Dakota and yea it's cool to see that place again
7 Grand Dad theme park looks amazing
I believe this is the same park my family and I visited in the late 60's, wonderful memories of this place.
We need to restore bedrock city to his formal glory who's with me
Yes
Well after 11 months some is with me
I'm pretty sure that said City Hall and Post Office.
I’m 16 and I remember watching the Flintstones. Sadly I never got to go there before it closed but my older siblings did before I was even born.
When Carowinds first opened on the NC/SC State Line, Hanna Barbara was represented there by the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Scooby Doo etc. There was even a Surf Island! All of that went away after Paramount bought the park. They changed the name of the rides already there (the wooden roller coaster was renamed the "Hurler" in honor of "Waynes World"), and introduced a "water gun coaster" at the Rugrats themed ride. Now Carowinds has been sold again!
My parents took my to this location when I was very young. I never had any fond memories of watching The Flintstones growing up, and as a result I ended up forgetting about mostly everything I saw at the park, minus one thing.. that claustrophobic snake. Thank you so much for immortalizing this old place in video, it was great to come back to and see one last time.
0:50 - 1:10 - I love how they made sure the phone booth fit the "Flintstones" theme, but then just threw in a normal train.
You sir have brightened my day. Finding your channel on a dismal morning at 5am this morning and seeing you ramble your merry way through South Dakota really brightened my day. In all sincerity I thank you sir. Keep up the good work.
I went there as a little kid. They used to have motorized Flintstone cars that were run off air cooled VW engines, like a dune buggy
That snake tunnel thing is just horrifying to even think about crawling through, and I'm not even claustrophobic.
I loved this! I was actually there in the late 1960's when it was just the Flintstones and the Rubles houses and a campground.
Great to see a spot that is not all vandalized. Good video CB.
people in SD do not do that they keeps there park looking great no matter if its close or not.
Thank you for sharing this video, I went there as a child & it brings back so many good memories.
That snake tube?
Aw, hell to the no on that!
I know the bones are way to big to be human but i can see that being a perfect place for a serial killer to dump his victims bones. I'm probably just watching to much Dexter on Netflix though...
I know I’m a year or so late...But when I was a little girl we went to Beadrock whenever we would visit The Black Hills/Mt. Rushmore SD. It was SO much fun as a kiddo. We would camp in the campground in our RV. I remember going through all the buildings & they were SO cool to see a cartoon come to life! I know nowadays it’s quite common...But in the 80’s & 90’s (I was born in 1980) that place was EVERYTHING! Thank You for the walk down memory lane. It made my weekend. Cheers. 💛
I miss this so much :( I went here every year since I was a baby and my mom's family used to come camping here. There are lots of memories behind it :(
also what you thought was a refreshment area was actually a movie theatre where they played episodes. they had the best popcorn :)
there used to be a bedrock city theme park in my town here in Kelowna BC when i was a kid, used to go to it all the time. but it got torn down years ago along with a water park to make way for a movie theatre, the little cabins weren't for people to sleep in they where just set pieces basically, ours also had a mini golf course and small theatre where they would show Flintstones cartoons.
I cannot thank you enough for doing this video!! This was such an awesome trip down memory lane.. I have family in Arizona and I went to the one by the Grand Canyon when I was a kid and I so vividly remember it and nobody ever seems to know what it is or what I'm talking about, so it is so awesome to see you go through here and bring up memories and sort of validate my childhood experience.. my lost memory files, if you will lol.. I subscribed because I love what u do and cant wait to see more! Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day!
My grandparents took me there for a summer road trip when I was I kid. Thanks man for sharing this! You brought back so many happy memories for me.
I was here the last year it was active...I enjoyed seeing how much has changed since I went to when you did this.
I was about 8 when I crawled through this snake!!! Oh the memories,,,,,and also going up on the balcony and getting a splinter in my hand. We have it all on silent film.
You said that the place is an abandoned theme park, but it's actually something that is part of a campground that is having everything Flintstones Related removed do to the WB Contract not being renewed.
I love the flinstones! and still watch it. Its on Retro toons and i especially love the Holiday episodes...
No!!! Mom I don't want to go in the SNAKE!!!
I was here in around 1996. I still have souvenirs my grandma bought me.
Your videos always bring me comfort, I have anxiety and I can't explain it but these vids are the best medicine. So thankyou from England ❤
+Alice Jivvy I appreciate it
I went there around 1990, I grew up in the 80s watching Flintstones on reruns before/after school. I thought it was great, seeing real versions of the places I've seen on the show, but I think I was in the last generation to watch the show in really big numbers. Sad to see it go, but I can imagine it would be boring for modern kids who just known them as the "vitamin mascots".
I wonder if homeless people sleep there? i'td beat sleeping in the streets or a bench
Quacking Goose Theres no homeless there. ;)
Here's the REAL story. The old man created this park during the time Flintstones were first aired in the 60s and the park was very popular. They had characters, shows, and I heard even cars that kids could drive in ( He even bought the rights to do so)
He sold the park over a few years back to a new owner and when that happened the Flintstones rights were not transferred for some reason and it would have cost a fortune to rebuy the rights so the park was abandoned. Right now they are slowly removing everything because it's being turned into a camp ground. I was there about a month ago because I plan to move there and that "facade" in one of the homes almost fell on me. Lol
Quacking Goose omfg exactly what I was thinking while watching this!!
It's nothing but concrete, that would be worse to sleep on than a bench plus all those "homes" have open windows and no doors, would be absolutely terrible place to sleep on a windy day and certainly in the cold South Dakota winters (and no electricity around for acres besides!!)
Aren’t many homeless people in Custer
The Flintstones currently air on the classic TV station "MeTV" at 6PM-5 Central weekday evenings (before M*A*S*H) and on Sunday mornings (before The Brady Bunch).
It was fun working there
Growing up in the Black Hills meant you went there every time your relatives from out of state visited. Loved that place as a kid.
How fun! I'm sure the little kids would have loved it there!
City Hall and Post Office at 1:16. If I remember correctly, you could buy post cards and mail them there. Most of those buildings were cordoned off and you were just allowed to peek inside. There were characters made of concrete so you could see who lived or worked there. There was a barber, bank (with bank robber), etc. The Mt. Rushmore lookalike was "Mt. Rockmore". The movie theater played Flintstones cartoons, and you could buy popcorn, etc. in the concession stand. There was a walk up burger shop where you could buy Brontoburgers (buffalo burgers) and huge purple ice cream cones. That was near the big Dino statue. There was a building that housed a grocery store, and I remember one end of it having a laundromat, but that is memories from when I was a kid in the 70s, so I might be wrong on that one. I don't remember the western themed stuff. That may have been added in the later years. Great memories here for multiple generations of kids. It was a real treat to get to camp here, swim in the pool, etc. Kids could just roam free.
I’ve been watching you for a couple years but I guess I started after you went here.
Anyway, I used to come here when I was a kid. I’ve been there maybe 5 or 6 times as a kid.
There used to be some kind of go-cart or golf cart type thing outfitted as a flint stones car that you could ride in. Someone who worked at the park drove it and you could sit in the back seat.
Also all the houses aren’t actually cabins they were just for looking at. 🙂
Arizona one is not abandoned. I was just there in May. In fact they've fixed it up a little. They even have a website
www.bedrockaz.com/
...That prehistoric website design couldn't be more fitting if it tried, huh?
Justin scarred visited the one in Williams AZ not that long ago. Still going.
wow, cool site design..
Yep we were there in August and it was looking better than it ever had.
The woman I spoke to said the owner was trying to sell only because she is very old and her husband had passed a few years ago. The gift shop was very well stocked and there were a good amount of people there the day I visited.
I went there in the Seventies when I was a kid, sorry no pictures. What a shame. I remember it being so much fun, I think because we were in Custer SD on the 4th of July and it was the first time we got to shoot of real fireworks, being from California.
There was also a Bedrock City in Chilliwack BC Canada. We came across it by accident when driving across Canada, also as a kid. Again sorry no pics.
Great video!
Wow that Bedrock City is in so much better shape than the one out west. Looks like everything was freshly painted maybe 1 or 2 years ago. The one out west has the same type beds I think, but I think they are just for show not for camping over night. Maybe one of your views went there when it was open and would know more about it.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed seeing this. I'm a Flintstones fan but had never heard of this place. So sad that it no longer exists. I hope they sell these structures if they're not going to keep them and don't just demolish this cool stuff. My favorite part of the Flintstones has always been the scenery, the cool houses especially. They remind me of that House of the Future you could tour in Orlando, Fla. Also reminds me a little of Disney's home of the future. I was watching a video on CZcams yesterday about people building Earth Bag houses, they looked pretty similar, except for the roofs. I don't think that Snake would be allowed on a playground nowadays. They protect children to the point of preventing their survival, in today's world. God forbid little Johnny has a scary experience and learns a lesson. The Western theming looks pretty cool, too. If they had to end the Flintstones theme, I think the Western is a pretty good choice. That's a good old fashioned theme I always get a kick out of too, very 1960's, 1970's and I'm all about the retro. There's enough space age, futuristic stuff out there at the big theme parks.
Went here with my family in 1972. Mom had photos. The Bedrock Playhouse was a movie theater which played episodes of The Flinstones on a theater screen.
Awesome! I read lots of comments. I wish I could have visited when it was active. Looks and sounds a neat place!
Ugh that concrete snake spiked my anxiety something fierce.
What's up w/the bones? I have Southern kin who still call me Pebbles. A hospital nurse blessed me w/the nickname shortly after birth & it stuck. Evidently, I was a hairy little girl, so someone slicked my hair up w/baby oil & put a ribbon thru it (guess they were all out of bones thx to Bedrock City). The nurse said I looked like Pebbles Flintstone, & the rest is history. As a kid, I had a hounddog named Dino & a marmalade kitty called Bam-Bam, after my dad made me rename them one morning after going out to call in Shirttail & Nothin' for breakfast & getting funny looks from the neighbors. Later had a little West Highand terrier/French poodle mix named Barney who lived for 14 yrs, bless his little heart. Didn't realize how many yrs it'd been since the Flintstones were a "thing," or my familial connection w/the character names till watching this vid. Now I wanna watch me some quality 'Toons! U brought it all back, CB.
Similar to the name "Tabitha". After Bewitched, hundreds of Tabithas suddenly sprang up.
We were there in 2011, sad that it is closed. I think there was campground connected with it. It really has not changed much, glad it is not much vandalized yet. The buildings had cartoonish looking people inside and there were statues of the characters that you could take photos with them. I don't think you could ever rent one of the buildings to sleep in the beds, it was just a place to play and tour. They did have a round or oval place with a real car made to look like Fred Flintstones car and you could ride around the track in it, they won't let you drive it. I was disapointed that the car had a floor unlike Fred's car. But of course that would be a major safety hazard.
It's not closed, it's seasonal. But it's sad that the WB Contact hadn't gotten renewed, meaning that everything Flintstones is going.
I was here as a teen in 2008 . I got a t shirt with Wilma and Betty on it
Thanks, for the video. I went to this Flintstone Village several times when I was a kid. Those houses were not cabins for guests. They were just playhouses. Kind of sad to see it all abandoned. It was pretty popular in the seventies.
I wonder how many kids they had to go in and save in that long snake ?
Lots of kids peed in that snake.
When I was young I crawled through it, nobody had a hard time back then. Today’s kids now that’s a different story some might get stuck thanks to their Burger King diets
I don’t know, but I know that I climbed through it when I was a kid.
William E I went there and I went into the long snake I felt claustrophobic but it was the best playground ever and I will always have fond memories of it.
i got stuck in it once
All of those houses were knocked down in April, all that's left of it is the playground and the theater. I'm sad to see it go, it was one of my favorite places.
what a waste.
Was there in the late 70's with the wife and kids. Brings back memories
Thank you. I remember it well!
Awesome video thank you for sharing. Fascinating place! Kid or adult I would not go down the snake tunnel who knows what kind of creature could have made their home in that I would not want to crawl in and find out.
Aww yes I went there one time when I was younger.
I love the Flintstones. Oh Jacob its not Dyno (Dino) Lane it is pronounced Deano. Anyone remember Kazoo the little alien that hung out with Fred and Barney. Bronosaurus bones that were like a big slab of ribs for Fred.
I LOVED Gazoo! He was my favorite character, and, yes, his name started with “G,” not “K.”
In Australia in the 1970 s as a kid was spent watching the original cartoons and reading the original comics of The Flintstones .
Yvonne Wilson yes I spent hours watching the Flintstones and the Jetsons too , but my favourite cartoon was Scooby Doo
Jo Connor I loved Scooby doo certainly my favourite. The Hairbear bunch came a close second
Im thiinking the other dude on Mount Rushmore Bedrock? It could be Mr Slate the ceo of the quarry
@@joconnor3846 OH GOD JO CONNOR, ME TOOOOO! such good after school memories, and saturday morning cartoons. "i would have gotten away with it too if it wasnt for those pesky kids!" lol oh and let us not forget ...my Mums bargaining chip for a quiet peaceful morning....if we get ready for school early enough with no fighting and yelling we got to watch my favourite series LAND OF THE LOST!
