Fifty years ...

Everybody and his brother (including Google) has acknowledged the half-century mark for Fred, Wilma and their cohorts.

So maybe it's time for a Mad Men Meets The Flintstones episode.

Everybody with a snotty pop-culture tweak thinks he knows the Flinstones Winston commercial--
Unaware that they also advertised for One A Day vitamins (gee, wonder whatever happened to that?), and Welch's juice. (Which explains why almost every episode in the fourth season had strategically planted lines about "drinking grape juice").

And the writing for the first three seasons was miles ahead of the shallow hip-cynicism of the current Springfield residents:
The early-HB writers let their silly Yogi Bear timing cut loose, and a satirical adult sensibility that amused themselves if they didn't think anyone else was watching. :)
