Growing up, I enjoyed reruns of The Honeymooners and The Flintstones.

Never knew that! Never thought of the resemblance!
But also did enjoy those reruns. They just don't make cartoons the way they used to do!
Actually, Jackie Gleason was said to believe in the possibility of UFO's, while Fred Flintstone has that little Harvey Korman soundalike alien Great Gazoo around since the beginning of solid rock history.
Fred and Barney consult Great Gazoo one stone cold night

"How sweet it is!"
By the way, as of a month or so ago, MeTV has been airing a Flintstone episode I'm not sure whether once nightly or once weekly - but it's one or the other. If I'm not mistaken, the broadcast time is at 10:30p.m. Eastern.
