The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas

Season 1, Ep. 4

Number 96th on the list in the 2000 family comedy, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. Released 6 years after the John Goodman iteration, this version of the classic 60s cartoon is the origin story of how Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty met and fell in love.


The Plot

Fred, Wilma, Barney and his fiancee set off to Rock Vegas to enjoy some quality time together. Once there, Wilma is chased by a playboy, much to Fred's chagrin.


Our Favourite Review

A sad, strange, dismal thing to inflict upon a child, let alone their parents, who've taken them with something like, say, fun in mind.
