In “The Return of Stoney Curtis,” Stoney Curtis, voiced by 1960’s heartthrob Tony Curtis, is shooting a new movie, in which he plays a slave, in Bedrock. Betty and Wilma head down to the studio to try to see Stoney, and when they do they have the chance to enter a contest where Stoney Curtis is your slave for a day. Fred and Wilma win and Fred tries his best to prove the likeable Stoney Curtis is actually a Hollywood snoot.

In “The Great Gazoo,” the audience is introduced to Gazoo. He is a haughty, intelligent, smart-mouthed green space alien who has been banished from his home planet, Zetox, and sent back in time to learn his lesson. He must serve the two who find him (and the only ones who can see him other than children and animals) Fred and Barney. Gazoo is not very thrilled to be stuck with these dumdums and though my family enjoyed Gazoos presence, many people are not as fond of the little green companion, citing him as a major distraction throughout the season.

In “The Masquerade Party,” the town is filled with panic and horror at the thought of “Wayouts” coming down from space and invading Bedrock. Unfortunately, Fred is unknowingly going to his annual Water Buffalo Masquerade as a space alien and many think he is a wayout! The Wayouts turn out to be the new hit band in Bedrock, and though things get off to a rocky start, they end the show with a great performance!

The Flintstones –The Complete Sixth Season contains a few special features. There is a short documentary on the Great Gazoo called “The Great Gazoo from A to Zetox,” and there are trailers for other great cartoon DVD’s by Warner Brothers (including Scooby Doo and other seasons of The Flintstones).

There is also a special presentation by Stephen Baldwin, who was Barney in the Flintstone’s movie, Viva Rock Vegas. This presentation discusses the influence of pop culture on the Flintstones episodes. Season six is full of such references including the episode “Samantha,” with Samantha and Darrin from Bewitched stopping by in Bedrock, “The Return of Stoney Curtis”, the Band the Beau Brummelstones (played by the Beau Brummels), and the Wayouts in “The Masquerade Party.”

The Flintstones found a way to discuss life in a non-threatening, eye-opening way. The reflection of pop culture and its influence on the show is part of what made it so popular. Though The Flintstones –The Complete Sixth Season is the last of the series episode discs that will be available, this Stone Age family has found a place in infamy. With this DVD set, The Flintstones truly can live on throughout history as new generations watch and enjoy all of the episodes presented on this four-disc set.
