Re: [video] Shocking 1950's Commercial! Wow Oleg, now it appears you are intentionally trying to troll. You can't seriously have a comprehension deficit THAT large, since you obviously know how to post a thread on an Internet forum. |

I am not convinced about that (the alleged trolling as that takes real contemplation with forethought), but he can't come here later and say it was dyslexia as an excuse.

Thing is, I don't remember seeing it on late night TV. I do remember seeing it on Saturday mornings; admittedly sans the Winston ads.

It must have been after the original run (60-66) then. Lots of older cartoons from Hannah Barbera, Warner Brothers, and others during the Golden Era of animation were targeted towards adults. Later on, Adults' taste in entertainment evolved from slapstick style comedy. The old cartoons were then repurposed as kids' entertainment.
You have to realize that sale of cigarettes towards minors was outlawed by that point. It wouldn't have been in Hanna-Barbera's interest to allow the Flintstones image to be used for selling cigarettes to kids. That would have upset parents.

Which is, of course, the root of my ignorance. I came to "The Flinstones" on Saturday mornings, with nobody providing a history of the show. Until now.
