Can you tell the difference between The Flintstones credits and the actual episodes?
They were notoriously unalike…or were they?
The Flintstones, like other classic television shows, was not terribly concerned with continuity. Even casual fans know that the walls of the house change color from episode to episode and some characters' names are different in the beginning.
The various credits sequences break continuity the most. The famous "Meet the Flintstones" song wasn’t used until the third season and the sequence continued to change slightly as more characters were introduced on the show. The original opening had Fred driving home with an instrumental tune called "Rise and Shine" playing.
How well do you know each opening sequence and end credits? Try to guess if these images are from the opening or closing credits — or from episodes themselves and not the credits at all!
