[net.tv] Barney Rubble

ragle (03/16/83)

           I am desperately seeking the answer to the  trivia  question
      "What is Barney Rubble's occupation?".  I don't think that Barney
      worked in the rock quarry with Fred except for one episode.  Help
      me out Flintstones fans!

	On todays' (April 10th) second WTBS episode of the Flintstones
Barney was mistaken for an Indian prince named Barbaruba.

	Does this name remind anyone else of the name of a certain mid 60s
Jane Fonda movie??

Barbarella was produced in 1968 (source: Movies on TV).  I think that that
episode predates the movie.  I thought that you were implying that the Flintstones
took the name from the movie.  Could it be that the movie took its name from the
Flintstones???

On a slightly different note, does anyone else out there feel that the 
Flintstones is one of the finest shows on TV?  I certainly do!  What are some of
the favorite episodes of the readers of this newsgroup?  Mine is the one that
featured that fantastic singing group "The Wayouts".  Who could ever forget
"We're going way out, WAY OUT, that's where the fun is, way out, WAY OUT."
The Prince Barbaruba one was a classic also: "First bass ... second bass ...
shortstop"  How about it?

        Yep.  And it was late-sixties (1968).
