   Thanks Kristie for the heads up on that. Typed too quickly. Fixed now.

   Actually the Flintstones was not intended to be a childrens’ program. The show was noteable at the time for being the first television cartoon series aimed at adults, not to mention the first to be shown in prime time. That’s probably why the network had no problem with the characters selling cigarettes.

   Tim, Thanks for the clarification on this. Appreciate it. I feel slightly better about humanity now
