With the use of Barney's homemade prehistoric helicopter as a means of escape, the two then join their bowling team for the tournament.
On a Sunday, Fred fakes illness so he and Barney can get out of taking their wives to the opera, as the night coincides with a bowling championship.
All other releases of the pilot use the original voice track. The pilot was re-voiced for the Cartoon Crack-Ups DVD release for unknown reasons with Henry Corden as Fred, Frank Welker as Barney, Tress MacNeille as Wilma, and Betty Jean Ward as Betty. Daws Butler provided the voices of Fred and Barney (he later reprised the role of Barney in season 2 episodes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 9 when Mel Blanc was unavailable to provide the voice after a car accident at that time), June Foray was Betty (her appearance was somewhat redesigned for the actual series), and Jean Vander Pyl was Wilma (the only actor from the pilot to regularly reprise their role for the actual series). It was actually a 90-second "demo reel" (with grease pencil marks still visible on the film), designed to sell the series to potential advertisers in the winter of 1959, depicting a scene from what would eventually become the episode "The Swimming Pool". Notes: This was the original pilot episode for The Flintstones, but was never shown with the original series. It was released on DVD in 2001 and again in 2004. The first 2 seasons were written by Warren Foster, Michael Maltese and Arthur Phillips.įirst released on The Flintstones: The Collector's Edition on VHS in 1994, it made its television debut on Cartoon Network on May 7, 1994, and aired again on Boomerang in November 2006.
