    I used to have an opening in my Mathusalem. It eventually healed after using a salve.

    Of course, they stole it all from The Honeymooners.
    I don't recall the Great Gazoo in the Honeymooners, you dum-dum.

    Although, there is some similarity between the characters, the circumstances were very different.
    HM - lower class bordering on poor, living in a two room apartment in a tenement, not even having a phone
    FS - solid middle class, living in a single home in the suburbs, two cars, credit cards, a plethora of gadgets and appliances, taking vacations, etc.

    Well, there's more than "some similarity." I'm not going to get into a debate, but they are clearly the animated Honeymooners. Same characters, even down to the redhead wife. Many of the same story lines. Yes, no Great Gazoo. I suppose Jackie Gleason was a little more limited in what he could do on live TV in the 1950s versus what one can accomplish an an animation studio.

    Maybe one of our "friends" here who seems to have no life can create a "Honeymooners vs. Flintstones" thread.

    I always thought Blue Swede stole the earliest melody:

    Time spent watching Monty Python skits is time well spent! In fact, as a teacher, I'd call it an education.
