Lol,Only 70? I use to have a rule when it came to dating,If you didn't remember Freakazoid I couldn't date you,Now I wanna date someone who remembers James Dean?
@@jackieschofield7041 O dear good luck with your issue, people minds this days don't even remember what they said or did in the morning same day leaving alone actors stage names and real names
60 years old here and I used to watch the Flintstones every day when home from school for lunch on CFCF in Montreal in the 60's and 70's. Knew every single line from every single line from every show, (yes I watched every re-run).
Yeah Alan Reed was the best Fred, but Henry Corden did a good job subbing for Alan. Nobody else from that era probably couldn't have done what Corden did.
I think Henry Corden was talented but he naturally sounded more like Jackie Gleason, who was the inspiration behind The Flintstones. All Jean Vander Pyl needed was some red hair dye. She was perfectly in character!
I think of Henry Corden as the Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles Cereal Fred, and the owner of the Ice Cream Shop that Marcia, Peter and Jan Brady worked at... that's all.
Thanks for answering the question of my life....always tried to figure out Rosie's voice since I was 6...it was so familiar.........think I thought it was Betty Rubble - a miss is as good as a mile.
***** Jean only did voice work for Hanna Barbera, never for Looney Tunes or WB. Bea Benaderet was the one who worked for Looney Tunes before June Foray took over. Bea originated the voice of Granny in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons.
Never has a video clip been so quick to put a smile on my face for the joy their characters brought me or a lump in my throat knowing that they're gone. These were terrific character actors!
@@TheBigMclargehuge They voiced a kids cartoon for goodness sake... lol. So what exactly could these two people have possibly done that would warrant giving them a thumbs down, yet the best you can come up with is accusing me of going after people for not thinking the way I do, like it's some type of liberal attack. Now I'm seriously laughing because that's the most pathetic excuse ever fabricated... LMAO!!!!
Here's a clip of the original, more familiar voice of Fred Flintstone (Alan Reed) appearing as himself on an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. The clip is about 1 min long... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nefnpa1Tlng.html
I am going be 54 years old in December15th, I still love to watch the Flintstones. I love the original of the Flintstones not a new version. Alan Reed who's the voice of Fred Flintstone, Jean Vander Pyl the voice of Wilma Flintstone may rest in peace. The Flintstones were actually in similarities of the Honeymooners. RIP Mel Blanc the voice of Barney Rubble who's the voice of many cartoon characters. He's the voice of Twiki the 🤖 robot in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century(1979-1981).
Jackie Gleason's agent urged him to sue Hanna Barbara over the fact that the Flinstones were essentially just a "rip off" of the Honeymooners--However, Mr. Gleason said he couldn't do it because he would be forever known as the man who "killed" the Flintstones

Doug Shoemaker Henry brought in more of a Jackie Gleason influence on his performance, which I thought was admirable. I just think Henry should have had more material to work with.
@@3912James I saw an interview with Gleason where he was asked why he didn't sue, and Gleason's answer was that he didn't want to be remembered as the guy who killed Fred Flintstone.
Talented pros like her could pull from several "spare" voices (think KENNY DELMAR, DAWS BUTLER, DON MESSICK, MEL and others). In typical HONEYMOONERS fashion (the TV sensation that H/B copie..... err.... I mean "inspired" the FLINTSTONES [penned as THE FLAGSTONES, in the pilot]) Fred and Barney acquired that fast-food restaurant (think the McDonalds craze). Notice the voice of one of the burlesque dancers turned waitresses, and there was that cute little ditty they sang "here we come, on the run, with your burger on the bun....". Do you recall the visual reaction of Fred and Barney to the line ".... our burgers can't be beat 'cause we GRIND OUR OWN MEAT, GRIND GRIND GRIND...."? Classic two-tier cartoon comedy (silly visuals and such for the kiddies, and adult double-entendre for us grown-ups, eh?
Quite right. She did make into a two syllable word with that slight drop in tone on the second syllable. Let's think...ok, there's "RALPH" spoken by actress Audrey Meadows, and then there's "FRE ED" by Jean.
@@kicknsystm Yes, the pronunciation of some words can be extended to as many as three or four syllables, in certain Southern US communities. Wilma's diction has drawl to it. A simple pronunciation that is now as famous as the voices of PORKY PIG, DONALD DUCK et al
Amazing, Jean's voice never did change after the Flintstones was cancelled, and she was able to come back and provide Wilma's voice for the Flintstone Specials as well.
Oh my goodness I needed this today. They are so adorable together even in real life thank you guys for making my childhood so wonderful watching you guys on TV. Yabba yabba doo
Right? Isn’t this a reminder of how the country we knew and loved as kids, seems to be dead now? There are people in VERY high places trying with ferocity to bring this country down and change it into something unrecognizable. Unless we stand up against this, our beloved childhoods and love for country will be gone forever.
Alan Reed was actually the voice of Fred Flintstone back in the 60s. Out of all Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960s, the Flintstones were actually the best of all cartoons.
Technically The Flintstones were actually an prime time series. Plus Bugs and the Looney Tunes gang were originally theatrical characters. Sure repeats of both the Looney Tunes shorts (plus the original Bugs Bunny Show also aired on Primetime and both shows were on ABC in their Primetime days) and The Flintstones were shown on Saturday Morning as well but, they wasn't originally Saturday Morning shows.
Alan Reed was the original Fred. He can be seen in such classic films as The Postman Always Rings Twice and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Bea Benaderet was the original Betty Rubble. She was Blanche Morton on Burns & Allen and Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction.
I also remember Alan Reed in a Beverly Hillbillies episode but I don't remember which one nor just what kind of part he was playing. Bea was replaced as Betty's voice because she was by then playing Pearl and later Kate on CBS shows and ABC did not want an actress who played on another network to play on any of its shows, live or animated.

Henry Corden was part of the supporting cast of the original Flintstones. He actually played Fred's singing voice when he needed to carry a tune such as when he sang "Listen to the Rockin' Bird".
Nay! Fred Flintstone's singing voice for "Listen to the Rockin' Bird" and "When the Saints Come Marching In" was provided by Duke Mitchell, one half of the Martin/Lewis rip-off clone Mitchell and Portrillo.
At 84 i enjoy the colors. They are therapeutic. I love watching those animals used as appliances like ta turtle used for an iron or a squirrel running 😅on a treadmill lifting an elevator. How clever.
Jean Vander Pyl stated in an interview that when the Flintstones ended executives of Hanna Barbera offered each of the actors $1500 to sign over the rights to any of the future royalties (in those days the idea of syndication rights/residuals wasn't known)--all of the voices (Alan Reed, Mel Blanc etc) signed for the money (as $1500 was a lot of money in those days)---little did they know that the Flintstones would go on to make millions in syndication
Right...Hanna and Barbera din't mind paying residuals, but were overruled by execs at Screen Gems/Columbia Pictures, primarily the tight-fisted President Harry Cohn. Screen Gems was H-B's distributor-syndicator from 1957-1978.
@@s4dreamland671 hello and thank you from the future 2019. get over yourself, and go back to your non pandemic world with your JOnas Brothers reunion album.
OMG!!! I was so not ready for that. LoL. Growing up watching the Flintstones even though I was watching reruns in the 1970's. I'm 52 now and to see the actual actors was strange but cool at the same time. Bless them Both!🙏❤️👍
Ill always remember Hernry Corden as loudrock (dina and Juliet) he made a good fred after alan passed away RIP to all the great actors that made flinstones possible!
THANKS FOR SHARING............BUT ALAN REED WAS THE 1 FRED ..........AND HENERY THE 2 FRED.........BOTH CLASSIC ACTOS.......................JEAN,,,,,,,WILIMA.............MISS YIU ALL........
Fred: "You're the queen of my heart". Back then, women would melt over that but unfortunately in the now,....many ladies get way too creeped out by that.
Yeah and it's tragic. Seriously... I've been down that rabbit hole. Something positive came from it tho. The truth...which is Christ. Humanity is lost. Christ saves.
They're married, not complete strangers. You can definately say sappy romantic stuff like that to someone you've been with for a very long time. Even back then if you opened up to some complete stranger at a bar with that line they'd still be cautious. Context matters v:
Lady Truth put it perfectly. It’s like magic to see the actual people producing these voices you know so well. As short as this clip is, I play it over and over.
Jackie Gleason stated in a interview that he thought about sueing H & B over the Flintstones being a copy of the Honeymooners. but he was talked out of it by a friend as well as his Agent. they pointed out did he want to be known as the guy who took Fred Flintstone off the air. the show was loved by Children and if he had been successfull he would have had tons of angery parents upset with him.
Unofficially, Henry Corden's first appearances as the voice of Fred Flintstone in animation were as the singing voice of Fred in "The Man Cslled Flintstone" and "Alice In Wonderland (What's A Nice Kid Like You Doing In A Place Like This?)", because he could sing while in character. In the original Flintstones TV series, he was the voice of one of Fred's other neighbors, Mr. Loudrock, in the episode "Dino & Juliet".
+Glenn Marshall Actually, first time I heard Henry Corden do a part as Fred-he did the singing parts in the 1967 movie "A Man Called Flintstone" but Alan Reed did all the speaking parts.
Harry did do voices on the original series, I believe he played Fred's jerk neighbour. Jean also did Pebble. Alan Reed;s voice was exactly like Fred's. I've seen and heard him in different shows.
Glenn Marshall Oh, I've heard Alan Reed on many vintage radio shows. In particular-on "My Friend Irma" He plays Irma's boss. He also had a part on the Mel Blanc show(that was a mindblower-that Mel had his own radio show in 1946-47.
there is this radio station in Toronto that plays classic radio shows during the week and they play different comedy shows and one night I was listening to this show, I forget which one, but I heard Alan's voice and I knew it immediately and sure enough, his name was in the credits. Bea Benedaret also did many voices as well in these shows as well.

If you watch the movie "I Know That Voice" James Arnold Taylor who took over as the voice of Fred Flintstone from Henry Corden says that Corden was there when he auditioned for the voice of Fred and he (Corden) kept telling the casting directors to stop looking at him (Taylor) and listen to his voice which was an amalgamation of Reed's Fred Flintstone and Corden's Fred Flintstone.
Just saw this...didn't know Henry Corden was Fred's fulltime voice after Alan Reed. Corden was a member of Jack Webb's Mark VII stock players company ("Dragnet"/"Adam-12"/"Emergency!") for many years.
And who can forget such famous guest stars as Ann Margrock, the Beaubrummelstones, Stoney Curtis, et al? And of course, there was Gazoo. The Flintstones really holds up over time.

Whenever I watched smokey and the bandit Jackie Gleason always reminded me of Fred Flintstone. I always thought it was just me who was making that connection
@@ericdemby4644 - Jackie Gleason had initially intended to sue the creators of the Flintstones for copying his show The Honeymooners, but then reconsidered, saying he didn't want to go down in history as the guy who put an end to the Flintstones, a show obviously loved by millions of kids and even many adults.
This is too funny, bizarre, and sweet at the same time to those of us of a certain age. To see them as real people doing their Flintstones voices is startling and smile inducing at the same time. Henry Corden (who was actually Mr. Loudrock on The Flintstones during the Alan Reed era) actually did a very good job of taking Alan's place as Fred.
the original voice of Fred, Alan Reed was great when he passed away Henry Corden took over the voice and was ok.. but I liked Alan Reed better as Fred. the last time Alan Reed voiced Fred was on a episode of Scooby's All Star Laff-A-Lympics. before he died.
+Astraldragon1 Jeff Bergman, who mainly voices Fred in Flintstone specials and on Family Guy, does the Alan Reed Fred and it's eerie how much he sounds like Alan.
+TEDDINGTON TELEVISION sounds interesting, I don't think I've heared Jeff Bergman do the voice for Fred. I'll check it out there is a web site called " behind the voices Actors " that lists cartoon characters and who did the voices including sound clips so you can compare them. thanks for the info. go to www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/ and type in a cartoon character to see who all did the voices. and listen to the sound clips.
it doesn't even look like the voice actress was voicing wilma. it's like wilma the character was voicing the original voice actress. it feels and sounds so surreal
